Hey thanks for the work and information. I just ordered a new 4 pot XL and I've been watching all the videos on growing with them. I've been growing indoors for 20+ years but I thought I'd try something different. I'd like to suggest you pre wet your medium / Coco before putting it in your pots. Not saturated but damp enough so the media will bond and not be dusty. it makes it easier to transplant into and watering afterwards, when I saw you dump your lose coco onto the dome all that light dry stuff will fall into the dome and clog your air lines.......anyways thanks just my 2 c

How do you go about getting it to that level of moisture? A spray bottle?

Was just discussing this with the wifey, were in wally world and everything I needed was there at the fish supplies to do a DIY build. 🌱 Buckets, pumps, lines, air stones, but Minus the Coco which is have to order offline. First thing is deciding which pH pen to upgrade to. 13$ one and the pool ph drops to check it isn't going to work so well moving from organics. 😂 Happy grows 🌱🌱🌱

hi, is the air dome pumping on all the time or only when the grow lights are on??

With the clay balls at the bottom how does any nutrient get to the Coco? The smart valve only fills to about half an inch and the clay balls are deeper than this and they don't wick. I'm imagining that roots will grow down into the liquid but all the Coco will be bone dry.

Copper side should be facing up according to the instructions from autopot...

Off to the races!!! Good luck this run my friend. I've heard that when using the hydroton clay balls your right to rinse, or soak them in a 6.0 pH solution. Personally, I've used them with and without pre soak. With results. When you use the auto pot system, do you hand water for the first week, or do you transplant into a the pot with the reservoir already on?

Ya ill completely drench the coco first, i did this with promix i was using a while ago and with my organic setup too. Typically it would last a about a week or so before i had to turn the system on but i could see using coco id have to drench it more then just once in that week.

why does the PH of the irrigation solution increase?? At the beginning we made PH 5.9, poured it into the tank, started the autopot, BUT after 4 days I measure the PH near the valve and it’s already 6.9 PH!!! what is the reason for the change in vision and how to work with it?? 🌿🌿🌵🌵🍀

2 cups of seal soil, 1 cup work casting, 1/4 cup of gaia green either 4-4-4 or 2-8-4 depending what stage of growth you’re in and a 1/4 cup of bokashi bran. Then after aerating it for 24hrs i add in some green planet liquid weight which is just complex sugars, you can replace that with unsulphured molasses.

Interesting, those aren't the AutoPot system I'm familiar with. I'll be curious to see how the AirDome system works compared to the traditional AutoPot system!

Which one were you thinking of?

the cooper side up dude what are u doing?

I've never grown with autopots, but my instinct as a grower says that those plastic domes should be fully covered in hydroton rocks or the coca/soil is gonna seep in and block up those side paths. You wanna push that air out and distribute it even. From my DWC experience. Is it different with these?

You should Cover the top of the Dome with pebbles. Otherwise you run the risk things to fall inside and clog it. Also If you dont Cover it, your medium will dry out in the Center of the pot and your plants will get in trouble
