I have no issue with this system . Way less of a footprint than any other option out there aside from soil and fiber pots outdoors ! Indoor there is no better system for simplicity and massive yields

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, it is possible to do this but only with FlexiTank Pro (the white versions of the FlexiTanks) - see link here for reference: autopot.co.uk/product-category/reservoirs/flexitank/flexitank-pro/ If you're in the US they are here: www.autopot-usa.com/product-category/flexitank/flexitank-pro/ Canada here: www.autopot-canada.ca/product-category/reservoir/ RoW search your nearest stockist here: autopot.co.uk/find-nearest-shop/ Hope that helps!

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, I spoke with our technical team about this. They felt that on balance the grow media should work on a structural level - ie. it should wick up sufficiently to feed the plants. Given that the plants are turning light, they felt it was more likely that the plants aren't receiving sufficient nutrition from the feed they're getting. There are several possibilities here but firstly it's important to check where all your levels are. That means checking EC levels in the reservoir and pH levels in the reservoir and in the module tray. If those are normal and the system is operating correctly it leaves the possibility that the rice or coco isn't properly stabilised and may be interfering with / stripping nutrients. For further advice you can DM us via insta @autopot_global or contact us via www.askjosh.autopot.co.uk/ where it may be easier to run through your setup and identify what's going on. Hope that helps

That does not answer his question..why is medium dry..it should not be?

⁠@@user-oj8hy9uh3gWhat you expect them to say without seeing the setup? Could be many things including mistakes on the users end. If the plant has an insufficient root system they wont get the water up anyways Also could be that the tubes or something arent properly placed so the tank cannot provide the water needed or that they are plugged with something or or or..

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, you're certainly correct in wanting to ensure the grommet is properly in place, without it there will be leaks. In order to aid insertion we'd recommend you wet the grommet or use a very small amount of household detergent (washing up liquid etc) - that should help to ease the grommet in. Hope that helps, all the best

Will still work as intended. Don't worry.

Indeed, it is really a matter of preference. If you go gold face down it can offer a slight, extra level of protection against any roots that do get around the sheet but in truth the difference is minimal.

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, apologies for the delay in responding. When using dry nutrients we always recommend you mix up a 'stock' using your nutrient powder of choice and some reservoir water in a jug or similar outside the reservoir. Always do so in accordance with to the nutrient producers' instructions Hope that helps

Thanks for the helpful info. Currently saving now to purchase a set up like this.

Hi, Many thanks for your comment, apologies for the delay in responding. The pipework needn't be pinned flush to the floor etc but it's always wise to keep undulations to a minimum. Provided you have good gravity pressure it should work fine this way - elevating your reservoir by 6 inches / 150cm is an ideal way to ensure that your pressure is always sufficient. Hope that helps, all the best

Hi Jason, Many thanks for your enquiry. You don't have to use propagation domes, they're not an integral part of the system as such. But they are a great optional add on for helping young plants get established in a watering system. Propagation domes help to generate the humidity that young plants crave. Humidity is an essential part of the micro-environment close to leaves. Lack of humidity directly around plants is a leading cause of poor early growth - as leaves curl to protect the plant and transpiration stops. Your environment, system, and nutrients may be perfect but without local humidity growth can stall. And often when growth stalls for lack of humidity growers will assume something's wrong with feeds, grow media, system etc etc. There's a risk here that you start tweaking the wrong thing, doubly risky when plants are young. Some will say 'every bird has to fly the nest someday' and go right ahead without domes. But to our minds there's nothing wrong with a gradual approach. If you're interested we have the Propagation Domes available via our online stores: In the UK: For 25L (XL) Pots only: autopot.co.uk/specialist/all-products/pots-trays/pots-and-trays/clear-propagation-lid-for-25-l-pots/ For 15L / 8.5 Pots: autopot.co.uk/specialist/all-products/pots-trays/pots-and-trays/clear-propagation-lid-for-8-5-l-15-l-pots/ In the US: For 6.6 gal (XL) pots only: autopot-usa.com/all-products/systems-and-modules/1pot-xl-systems-kits/clear-propagation-lid-for-xl-pots/ For 2.2 gal / 3.9 gal (1Pot / easy2grow) pots: autopot-usa.com/all-products/systems-and-modules/1pot-systems/clear-propagation-lid-for-2-2-gal-and-3-9-gal-pots/ In RoW: either via your local AutoPot stockist, which are searchable here: autopot.co.uk/specialist/find-nearest-shop/ Or via contact with mail@autopot.co.uk Choose the dome for 15L / 8.5L / 2.2 gal / 3.9 gal for 4Pot Systems Hope that helps

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry. The usual disclaimers will apply here - depends on plants grown, weather conditions / climatic controls if indoors etc etc. However, as a rough guide we'd say that: In the early part of the season (when the plants are establishing and growing) the reservoir may last up to 3-4 weeks. As the season progresses the maturing plants will begin to consume more water and liquid fertiliser. In the height of summer growing tomatoes with large amounts of fruit the reservoir will last between 7-14 days. Remember, if you're not elevating your reservoir in order to induce gravity pressure you'll always want your reservoir to be a min of 1/3rd full. Hope that helps, all the best

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, apologies for the delay in responding. In answer to your question: yes, absolutely. The systems are designed to be completely modular so you can add / remove the pots and trays at will. In the case of the 4Pot System: If your system is already set up you'd simply ensure the reservoir tap was off and that the plants had emptied the other module trays before removing a module. Then simply use the tee connectors / flush tap supplied to reconfigure and cap the loose end where the fourth module previously was before switching the reservoir tap back on. If setting up with just three modules then use the tee / cross connectors / taps supplied to configure as required. Hope that helps, all the best!

Hi Alex, Many thanks for your comment, are you in the US? I'm guessing so given you're referring to imperial measures. If you are indeed in the states you'll be served by our excellent US distributors at AutoPot USA. I'm pretty sure they do offer reservoir upgrade options. If you contact them via the details on this page: www.autopot-usa.com/contact-us/ they should be able to sort out something that meets your requirements. In the UK? For custom orders get in touch via: orders@autopot.co.uk Hope that helps!

@@autopotuk yes

Hi Mike, Sorry to hear about your experience, I've reached out to AutoPot USA and will be back in touch shortly. All the best

Hi Mike, If you get in touch with AutoPot USA via lukes@autopot-usa.com they'll be happy to look into this for you

Hi Justin, Many thanks for your comment, we'd recommend pH 5.6 Hope this helps

@@autopotuk thank you, I just did a 6 pot XL setup and killed 2 plants. I started with 5.6ph but after checking the internet everyone was running 5.8ph so I switched 5.8ph 🤷‍♂️

​@@justint5625 it doesn't matter that much. Range should be between 5,5 - 6,5

@@tobiasklazar8006 well it does for certain Strains. I killed 2 plants outta 6 🤷‍♂️

Hi, Many thanks for your enquiry, if you go to 10:03 you'll see the 9mm (3/8") inline / flush tap has been inserted into the end of the pipe run. In the 'closed' position this is quite sufficient to cap off the end of the pipe - remember there's no pumps involved so the only pressure acting on the tap is gravity. The tap simply pushes into the open end of the pipe. Hope that helps, all the best!
