    Hi I believe you are in the US and are being looked after…. I would however note that if a reservoir is water tight from the start, human intervention is generally the cause of the leak…. I would suggest that you look at the surface you have placed it on to see if this is the problem

    Hi Anna,

    As there AutoPot system is bottom fed it would not be a good idea to mix up the two methods, if you utilise each method independently and not at the same time you’ll be fine

    Hi There,

    If using outside there is nothing you can do but in the last 20 years of AutoPot no one has had any issues with rain falling on the pots as far as we are aware. If it rains a lot turn of the tap to the reservoir and then back on once the water in the tray is almost empty

    Hi Dale,

    Fertiliser does not have a shelf life of one week, who told you that???..Just fill the tank with the correct quantities of fertiliser and don’t worry…. read the catalogue and brochure to understand things further, they will both help immensely… they can be viewed on the website

    Hi Dale…. quite simple… if you have markings on your reservoir, check these before you add any further solution. Or alternatively get a bucket (10ltrs) will be fine …. mark it ….. fill the bucket with water …. add fertiliser…. and repeat….. or buy yourself a pH pen and EC truncheon

    Hi There….. there is no need to do this, the copper is still there it has not degraded it has just oxidised, they will still work fine. Just wash with warm soapy water and rinse off and your good to go again….. Im still using the same ones after 5 years of constant use.

    Hi Alex….. I can only suggest you are using poor quality coco or the environmental conditions are your growing area prefer from correct and the Ec value is rising as the plants can not take up the water… If you would like to call the office and ask for Jason he will be able to help you better with more information the job will be easier

    Hi …. You would need to drill the hole on the side of the AQUAbox to 12mm from 10mm… I would suggest using a step drill not a standard drill or you may tear the hole…. you’ll need a 9mm top hat grommet, an AQUAvalve5 and 9mm pipe…. also depending on the connection to the reservoir you will also need to drill the tanks per the AQUAbox or upgrade the filter from 16mm-6mm to 16mm-9mm…. it really depends on how your pipe is connected to the reservoir.If you are still not sure please call the office and they will guide you through exactly what you require

    Hi I’m not sure if the AQUAplates have been used to grow cannabis plants to maturity but have been used for cuttings.

    Hi There….. if you have pH down I would suggest fully submerging the coco mat in 5.0 pH water for 24-48 hours tip of solution and then pour in new solution with the required amount of feed

    Hi …. There have been many growers using this method, generally beneficial bacteria is used to keep the soil going…. have a chat the suppliers that supply these products and they should help…. but most definitely in AutoPot

    Hi There…. the older size pipe should slide inside the 9mm (blue/black) pipe and create a water tight connection
