Ok, so can someone explain to a "die hard grows plants in normal pots organically type of person", what Airpots are? I am too lazy to google, I just feel a bit left out when all you UK punters are talking about them, haha...DST goes off into a corner with his joint.

Hi guys pretty tired been playing with another mates new setup in my living room got rid of some of my excess kit, may even be able 2 get rid of the 4 pot wilma.

Here's a link to the vids on the Airpots website, explained it good enough for me to buy them

Some pics, i'm loving the trees in the pots, thought the roots had 2 be as big as the plant?







Sorry tip top will expand the little thing and show u where the little holes are etc, havent taken the pics. it has 2 moving parts the little barrels move and theres a float type thing inside, both with little holes/valves. they dont refill until all the solution is soaked up, even with a good pump

cleaned mop bucket princess out/changed nutes, filthy slut, along with the veg room, she's got a little root sticking out the bottom of the "net pot" with a few coming off that, white to. some visible in the holes i drilled in the pot. some pics soon

night/morning folks

ok, I know what airpots are....perhaps it was something else I was getting confused with....Smart pots?? are those the same things? Ach min, god knows now....DST walks off as confused as what he was when he arrived.....haha.

i think the americans call them smart pots, unless there talking about them pots lined with copper stuff (spinout, uncle bens thread)??? autopots/smartpots/airpots lol.

TTT - on the case 2day bro, de-clutered my house in prep for the sofas and packed the valves away in the loft lol

nah, air pot is different to smart/auto's. air pots are literally the fancy new pot.

auot and smart (i am guessing on the smart part) is the acutal watering method used, and as far as i'm aware, any pots can technically be use with them.

once that root hits the water, it's gonna go wild it's very exponentiual, takes weeks to get that first root out, and then jsut bam, they're going and going

TTT, you got it, that's what I was wondering about.....??

Watering in an organic vertical grow in a 1.2m squared space that you have granstanded is a reet pain in the chuff. Requires a lot of moving and fannying around with plants...I am looking at doing a rehaul of my grow room shortly so was hoping to find something to make my life easier....

thanks tt for clearing that up, the smart is the auto right? off 2 get some food, sofas have turned up, then i'll get the auto pot valves out and try and take some pics.

good man. after 5 days my water drops to the extent that most of the roots are out of water, which i reckon can't be too good. so need to work out a way of keeping it as high as possible without regular topping up, which is partly what the hydro was all about. plan 2. install lavatory into grow room and plants grom out of top. auto filling haha,

Bottom valve, looks like yellow neoprene(?) seal and small hole, the arm is connected to the underneath bucket which applies pressure to the hole? I'm making a guess here.

Top Valve. This hole hear I THINK is the hole that TTT might want to block, i'm not sure but i think this is the valve that controls the drain and refill part. by the looks of things i'm thinking they are 2 separate valves? One to fill untill it gets to the correct level and one to stop it filling while its draining.


Underneath hole, top valve

Osc u can confirm the autopots drain and fill? i played with them for an hour or so and it looked that way.


havent got the time TT but can have a play at the weekend to see if that valve does that.

hope these pics help? as mentioned the opinions are my own, might not be right. i'll have more of a play towards the end of the week as i'm using em 2 feed my girls plain water for the 2weeks flush

edit - and the new sofa's

Lost me a neoprene dude...nice couches though, look comfy.

I got autopots and i still dunno exactly how they work but they do work, its witch craft i tells ya lol

cheers for that man. not ure on the drainage but seems to be a modified minatureised simplified toilet system thing.

Can someone paste a link in so I can check these MMSTS, auto pot thingymajigs, whatever they be cried.

ps. some advice for the noobz. dont stick ur fingers near ur fan when its on, nearly ripped my nail of earlier. most painful grow room indecent to date, although smacking my head full blast on the corner of mates aerowing was a close 2nd lol. my mate said the whole tent shook lol. accident prone spring to mind anyone.

looks damn close to chop time there fingerez. looks well tasty

Why did you stick your fingers in the fan?????? My worst grow room incident was when my ph dropped to 3 (fuck knows why) and i had to flush the soil in my autopots but the plants were all tangled around each other (fucking viney cheese) so i couldn't move em and i had to suck up 40 litres of water with a 50ml syringe while lying on my stomach so i could reach the ones at the back, not painfull but a HUGE pain the arse and i stupidly did it when the lights were on so i was sweating like a whore in church.

Anyways looking forward to your next pics mate

i ALWAYS stick my fingers and hands into fans. i always figure yeah, why not! especially computer fans. maybe i'm simple, one minute it's a seethrough whirlythingymajig, the next minute you've transformed it into a solid pointy thing. fucking magic!
