custom autopot with geopot

[rynzr]

whats up guys im planning on making a custom autopot but with a geo pot, basically i just bought the smart valvue and ill be placing in a 500x380x80 hydro tray alongside a 7gallon geopot. ill be making a custom lid for the exposed parts of the tray to try stop as much evaporation as possible.

 

now i havnt used an autopot system before but iveread a fair bit up on them,

 

im planning on running 50% soil / 50% perlite/clay balls.

 

also ill be using hydroponic nutes - gt ionic series (always have used hydro nutes with soil with great success)

 

just after some tips/tricks/advice from experianced autopot users

 

 

thanks

I've only used the auto pot system I got for growing some cucumbers in my greenhouse, I just used small couple of litre geopots that fir right into the basic unit. I used perlite vermiculite mix and it worked well, the once problem i kept getting were roots growing up into the valve, so just make sure you check that often.

Sounds well. I suppose if you will do as you described so you won't have problems.
