    Hi There…… A 20 gallon pot will be fine but you will need to water from the top for a while, to get the roots down to the bottom….. Also ensure you use a good substrate or blend of substrates to ensure good capillary lift….. We have used 33 gallon SmartPots in the past with fantastic results. The water will pass through the fabric no problem, so don’t worry there. I would also use an AQUAvlave cover over your AQUAvalve and not glue it down.

    Hi There….. If you are supplying the water via hosepipe which you should be and reducing down to 6mm at each AQUAvalve point you will be fine….. just fill up the reservoir when there is a 1/3 left in the reservoir…

    Hi There, If you are using an air stone in the reservoir this is not advisable ….. as you are not adding air to the water as the bubbles simply break on the waters surface….. Also there is a chemical reaction by doing this and the effect is that the pH in the reservoir increases. Also is the air you are blowing into the base of the pots via the airdome warm 18-21oc….. what are your environmental conditions….. temp and humidity in your growing area ???

    Hi There….. If using the AirDomes…… Place AirDome in each pot and cover with pH stable pebbles or a very open substrate…. cover with pebbles so you can just see the top of the AirDome. Also the substrate of choice is also important and must also be open and air retentive….. Please take a look at the potting up guides and brochure on the home page as this may well help answer some additional questions you may have.

    If you are using organic feeds or additives….. turn the reservoir tap off, the following day add the mixture next to the AQUAvalve in the tray to the pipe in let point….. leave of 30mins….. repeat and then the following day turn the reservoir tap back on

    Please take a look at the brochure on the home page as information on suitable mixes of substrates are within…… but you seem to have suggested a good mix

    Please email orders@autopot.co.uk or simply visit the website and purchase a system and add a few single modules to make up the number you require.

    Hi John,

    I would give the inside a clean with warm soapy water and rinse off, this should resolve the problem.

    I would pot up into the XL pot with a 2-3 ltr pot that will be ample

    You need a nematode formula, the larvae has come in the soil. Need a solution that is with poured in the tray or pot and the nematodes will feed on the larvae, finally killing the pest, fly and all.
