Thanks Happy. You've got me quite interested in auto pots. I may have to give them a go in thr next round or two. Keep up the good work.
Thanks gbd bro
I've found these AutoPot XL's which I'm going to run 50% of my room on the standard Autopots (15L) and 50% of my room on the XL Autopots (25L) and see which perform better. Then I might even try growing two plants in one XL Autopot the grow after and see what differences that makes. I'm aiming for maximum potential yield with the minimal hassle and risk of lossing a crop (which is why I haven't gone hydro on this.) I've a 8 pot RDWC setup in the room next door which is my 'fun grow'. The autopots are my old reliables
Although Autopots can be semi-hydro if you do coco/perlite and use the 'air dome' in the bottom of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v34PDauF9Q I put my ear down to the autopot and I can hear them bubbling away
The user who goes by the name of Duggy on here (I'm sure you've heard of him) also uses Autopots and does well with them.
I think they're an extremely viable option for a hassle free growing experience. I've had 2 years (almost) of experience with them now, so if you ever decide to use them come find me, PM me or whatever and pick my brains. I'll tell you all the in's and out's, pros, cons and potential pitfalls. I've made all the mistakes already, so you don't have too!
Talk to you later dude.

Those auto pots are definitely worth me looking into a bit more! Thanks for the tip!
Feel free to PM me anytime with questions about Autopots there GreenBandit. I've a few growing on the grow in my sig right now. I'm not 100% happy with them but you can see they produce pretty decent buds. Next grow will be better because I was growing in coco and switched that to lightmix for the craic (crack/fun) and didn't realise Plagron Lightmix pH should be 6.0-6.5 and I was having mine up at close to 7.0 like organic soil.. duh. Anyways I'm off, later gators.

Thanks, Happy!
Just saw your questions, yes they're 5 gallon buckets and the soil mix is Roots Organics amended with earthworm castings, perlite, lime, diatamaceous earth, crushed mosquito dunks, azomite, bat guano, blood meal, bone meal, pot ash, and epsom salt. Basically subcools supersoil with few twists. Don't know if you'll see this, sorry for the late reply.
