Grow Mediums Growpito + AutoPots

[Simplicio]

Squeeze out some balls of Growpito for your seedlings that have already been pre moistened then mist them a bit. No need for rapid rooters. I use a Grodan starter plug tray that I press Growpito into and can be used for seeds or clones.

By allowing them to wait 5 days until your first flood it will allow the medium to dry a bit and subsequently pull in oxygen.

I'm probably worrying about nothing.
Sprouts happened 3 days ago in Rapid Rooters.
1 day ago I put the RRs with sprouts into 2.2 Gal conditioned Growpito (250 ppm) under about 10,000 Lux of light.
I also wet the planted RRs with distilled to allow the fertilizer from the Growpito to slowly seep in.

So far so good, and if this method comes close to hydro in quality and yield, I'll be a convert.

I’m thinking about putting 4 (8pots) of these in my 4x8 May rework my rainscience bags to fit the base. Thinking growpito will be used unless I can’t get it. I was going back and forth then when I saw your post I started leaning more towards it especially like u said equal spacing in a 4’ line for two plants would Be 16”so just a couple inches off center and plants r same distance as if I placed the pots equal distance. Gonna cost half the price as individual system

You can probably get 1 autopot reservoir to supply several of the Easy2Grow systems.
I bought the system that has two 2.2 gal pots supplied by 1 reservoir.

Yes one res for 4 bases or 8 pots.

System should be in next week

How’s things going. Picked my system up gotnsome promix and clay pebbles but really want to see what this growpito is doing for others in autopots

Too early to tell, but all looks good.
I'm not yet 2 weeks in.

I put clay pebbles on top to block light.
And attached the aquavalve/storage tank to the system with EC=1.0 feed.

Tag me in any updates please

I'll be posting updates and observations here.

I'm also trying to adapt aquavalves to dwc, with the goal of creating an autopot-like system in hydro.
Presently I use a 2 bin controller reservoir system that I don't like.

Autopots with water and clay pebbles only would be a nice way to grow.
I've got a small dwc res built, about the same size as the Easy2Grow system, but still need to figure out how to get the aquavalve to control grow vessel water level.

I just emailed @Rain Science asking about some white bags made to replace the 2.2 plastic buckets. I hope he gets back with a yes it’s possible and a number I can handle for 10 pots.
