Hey bud I've got 5/6 of the older version smart trays.
You can make any size all you need is a tray, aqua valve and a corex lid.
I have valves and easy to get the rest I think il look into making one for my tent be a lot easier for what I'm after aswell
Have you got any pics of or how would I go about it

Here you go bud.
Same thing just a different size, I used this to keep mother's in under 4x18w bulbs (100% perlite)
Come to think about it I ordered 100ltr of perlite I'm going to try it with the autopots, I had great results with it before and it's easy to recycle, clean and sterilise.
If I've missed anything or I can help lmk
where they sitting above water level or where them pots on bottom of yellow tray

They're sitting on the bottom of the tray, it might look suspended but the lids cut neat to the pot to stop light and humidity.

You could also just use a tray like that and have a wide low reservior (usualy i would have this double or bigger the capacity of the trays on top so that ther is still pleanty of water in the reservior wen the uper tank has been floode so the pump never runs dry, ive had realy low wide sitting reserviors and put slats accros them and have had 2 or 3 trays sitting on top) sitting right under it. Put a pump in the reservior with pipe connecting to the bottom of the top tray. Fill the top tray with what ever size pots you want with what ever media you want. Switch the pump on and time how long it takes to be near full and thats your flood timer and setting time attached to the pump plug. Once the pump goes off gravity causes the water to drains back out via the way it came in. I used to normaly just put a few bigger rocks around the water inlet on the top tray to act as a filter so no cloging or rubbish goes down it ( or chasing roots cus they will chase down) and blocks the pipe and i normaly atach screen net to both ends of the pipe before ataching one end to the pump and the other end to the fitting on top. It a simple cheep method with only one moving part wich is the pump. Any leaks from the top trays or over flow goes right back into the reservior below. Flood and drain is one of the most easiest and effective methods ive used. Ive been able to leave systems like this for upto two weeks dependant on reservior size with zero issues.

No they have different pots same media same nutrition only difference is where they are in the room and what part of the light they sit under ... I have 3 of this cut in the room and all 3 are growing different so I Dno what is going on in there the other cuts that are the same are growing like they're the same .... its a mystery
Sounds like it might just be where they are in the room then
Aye looking good bud
