These are 2 1L water bottles.. 2 pinholes in the bottom about 1cm apart.. they can fill a pot slowly and steadily with up to 2L of whatever you put in there.. while u just go do something other than curse bout how long it takes to water a plant.

For scale that's a 7L airpot they're slowly watering.

Surely someone else is doing this??? If not back off til I copyright it Its saves me countless hours and many swears

Ahhhhh cacky bird legs has got new boots ..
Looks like a good little life hack though, when I'm back on the up I'll be having a go at it.. I love a bit of mcguyvering, at the moment I've got bugger all else to do so make watering time last as long as possible lol

They look quality mate, that little spot is cool, I have that little panel I got the other day for one half of the new tent but it's dinky so will need a friend, the hps is still gonna be used on the other end, but hoping to replace it with a bigger viparspectra to cover that half. Spots could be an option to join the small panel though.

The skylines are a great job m8 and muddy at LED Hydroponics is the nicest guy you'll ever meet.. couldn't speak highly enough about his customer service.. he's a real diamond.. that wee 100w solar flare panel I have in there is a great job at a decent price.. £100/£110 and there's AFN discount as well.. the bigger lights are a bit pricier but worth every penny for me.. should I ever get space for a bigger tent I think id have to break the bank and go for one of their Skysaber 640s.. now there's a unit

Hey, I like your pots.

Seeing as you use basically all the types, what would you say some pros and cons are of each one. The spikey air pots are appealing to me, but I'm not quite sold on them. Also curious as to some of the effects on roots for the clear soda bottles.

Hey m8.. I love the airpots cuz they look cool lol they do a great job too.. but they're very expensive given that its just a pot.. there are copies out there which im sure do just as good a job at a keener price.. the fabric pots tbh are every bit as good for root pruning/development imo and a fair bit cheaper.. both can be messy to water until you get the hang of it.. tip too much in there and it'll just run right out the sides.. not hard to master tho.. patience or in my case a couple 1L bottles left in there to trickle in lol

The roots in the 2L bottles seem fine to me.. some ppl cover the bottle to keep the roots in the dark but I've been ok so far uncovered.

Thanks for lookin in

Thanks for replying! I use fabric pots and have been happy but tempted by the air pots. Maybe I'll buy one every once and a while until I have as many as I need if they were reusable.

Great growing, I'll be here following along!
