As long as your reservoir is sorted wrt nutrients, then it's pretty much hassle free. Right now I'm running a dual XL autopot system outdoors & a 15l autopot in the shed. I would advise getting an air pump for your reservoir. It'll keep the water oxygenated and clean, if loadshedding hits, a few hours won't affect it much.

Clay pellets/leca in the base, then promix 50/50. I'm also using an airdome to bubble air through the roots, but that's optional.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy-z Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 We need more info!It's basically an ebb & flow wicking system. The easy to go being more diy & the autopot is everything you need in a kit.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was forced to go the cheap route. Hortimix A & B with a bit of calmag in the reservoir.The pic I posted earlier was during the recovery from a severe calmag deficiency, they're doing a lot better since. Next time i have to remember to buffer my coco.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batista Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thanks guys, yes going to order one now for when im away from my plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHigh Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I use Atami Coco, is ph balanced, and buffered with Cal/Mag - easy to use. I would also recommend a H2O2 flush every few weeks to keep the lines clean. Love my autopots - makes feeding sooo easy, and gravity fed, means no load shedding issues with pumps..
