Grow Mediums autopot best size

[briman]

1.2x1.2x2.0 my tent is i will go with the 15 litre i was wondering if to go with 6 or 4 will it be a push for space

like Duggy said...a 4 site 15L system will fill that space easy.
The air pump runs the air domes in the bottom of the pots. Its like direct injection into the root zone! More oxygen to the root zone, the bigger the plant!

sound thanks for the advice i will go with 4x 15 ltr .i have a 600w hps on a dimable ballast and a cfl for seedlings i am about 5 weeks into my current grow and its my first one so im going autopots for after xmas and briman im in the uk so its all lites here but i think 15 is around 4 gallons

get a air pump and the air domes!! A bit extra, but well worth it!!

Hey Shane, I would also recommend only doing a max of 4 Autopots in your space... and the 15L pots can grow some monster plants so depending on strain may only want to do 2 or 3 pots.

I only just run two of the 15L autopots in my 4x4' (120x120cm) and can fill the space completely. Here's a full tent shot from my last grow... Also feel free to swing by my "Autopot Grow and Show" thread, lots of good info you can pick up there

What I have seen from all the great Autopot grow journals on this site is that you can't go by other systems results. These thing blow plants up! I have 90x90x175 and from what I have seen here I would not think of trying more than the 2 pot 15 liter system. Heck, I almost went with just one as these seem to make the plant fill all the available space. Just watch my grow, if I can make these grow like the others here anyone can. I am the worlds worst overwaterer and have bad luck with autoflowers.

@Duggy @briman

Okay, first thanks for answers. I decide to buy 2x15L Autopot for my 80x80cm tent. Could you please select airdomes and airpump for me? I mean... what I must look at?
Is sitting tap water okay with Autopots? Mine has 0,45 EC.

lol
I'm only hoping to grow the monsters that @Hansbricks, @2Stoned2Care, @briman, @pop22, and others have done with these autopots. My babies are still in that vulnerable seedling hand watering phase that I hate. Once I get them on the reservoir and off my watering we will see what these things can do. I can mix nutes with the best of them and am following hansbricks current grow as a template. Only thing different is the grower and the strain.

Here is what you need. Lower right box is the airdome kit. If you are in EU. If you are in the US, check our their site on line.

An air pump like this will work. You dont need a huge pump

You are going to want a small water pump in the rez to move the water around to mix your nutes and to break the surface tension. One like this one...

If you can get a small air pump and a stone to drop in your standing tap water in a 20L bucket, that would be better.
