I have 8 autopots and 6 are cut down. I'm going to leave the last 2 alone for the times I want an XL size plant. Or just to keep them and keep comparing small vs large. I don't feel like I have done enough justice to the comparison I had in mind in the first place.
did you know that the 2.2 gallon pots fit the same trays as the 4.9 gallon pots? just thought I'd toss that out, there, I'm considering using a couple
Yes they do. I cut some of the 5g in half which was ok but not pretty. Then I picked up a 4 pack of 2.2g pots and they work in the trays. I'm not sure if there is anything to be gained by using them though. I really did not notice a difference.
The people from autopot say it's a no-no all the salts etc get pushed to the top cos your bottom feeding so then if you decide to top feed your washing all that old shitty stuff back down in the root zone.. There is a video on YouTube they explain about flushing (not being nessecary) and why not to top feed..
The 15 liter size will be large enough for that space. You really need to use the pots that they offer with the system and there is no need to combine or use with other type pots, if that is what you meant?I’m about to get some autopots and I’m gonna have a lot of questions. I’ve also been reading about them for a year and I’m STILL going to have questions so, whoever that dude is, plan on tuning me out too lol...
I’m sorry, I cringed when I read that shit. I’m glad you ask questions @lunarman , I learn a lot reading these posts..
I’m still trying to decide what kind to get, I have 3x3 of space, I was thinking 4 autopots xl (the larger round size to fit more variety of pot size) and I would just use the fabric 2 gallon pots I already have, they appear to be the correct diameter to fit in there.. think that can work ?
2 gallons is more than doable. You'll be fine.I like fabric pots and wanted to use those.. they have that smart pot xl I just think it’s too big so I was gonna get it and Sit my own fabric pots in it? I haven’t used any autopots yet but if I’m understanding how they work, then that should be ok? They have 5 g smartpots that come with it and 4 of those would just be too much I think. But 2g seems doable?
