    Hi Fusion Grow…… as long as you have pushed the AQUAvalve firmly onto the Tee in the tray all will be fine..

    Hi Tom,

    You can choose either 3mm or 5mm AQUAvalves…… the systems are available with either just make sure you make it known when you order…… generally all AutoPot products are now supplied with the AQUAvalve 5.

    Cheers

    Hi ….. yes that will be fine…. but don’t use too small pot in the tray 10ltr and above is fine……. if smaller pots are to be used you will need to sit them on the cocomat as shown in the website…

    Hi Grow Girl,

    The grommet will be fine, the hole in the reservoir maybe an issue, please contact your supplier and let them know so that it can be replaced. Please ensure you have inserted in in the hole properly and the pipe is pushed several inches inside the reservoir

    Hi Paul,

    You should never use an airstone in the reservoir as it will increase the pH of the water, only ever use a small water pump to move the water around, sediment is natural and come from the nutrients.

    Any fabric pot that fits snuggly in the try will be fine….. you will however need to use the root control sock on the bottom outside of the pot to stop the roots escaping…..

    Hi, Take a look at the potting up guide on the home page and also the AirDome instructions, it’s all there….. In basic terms only turn on the pump to the AirDomes when the plants have nicely established….. 14-21 days

    Regards

    Hi Nicky, The fabric pots have with experiments to date proven to grow the plants more quickly compared to plastic pots. I would just use the 50/50 mix you are already using…… the use of the AirDomes is not necessary but needles to say people do still use them.

    Hi There…. I have had problems with San Marzano all year with blossom end root. There are many issues that cause blossom end rot they are as follows:

    High and low temperature changes
    High and low humidity changes
    Under and over watering

    These are just a few ….. in an ideal world if the temperature was constantly at 25oc and the humidity 70-75% all the time I would suspect all would be OK.

    Hi Curtis, just re-fill the reservoir when there is a 1/3 of the water left, that’s it…… please note that if using soil that the pH in the reservoir should be 5.8.
