Grow Mediums newbie grower needing these autopots, needs some enlightment

[Blasting]

Hello people of AutoFlower.net! Currently almost finishing my first grow, wich was organic. I have had alot of problem this grow having to reliate on my girlfriend/best friend alot to take care of my girls because as my name suggest I am a professional blaster and Im away from home on a 7days in 7 days off schedule. I have came across someone using these autopots on another growing forum and voila, thats exactly what I need. I am looking foward to buy a 4 pots 3.9Gal setup but I have a couple of questions.

• Where is the best place to buy these pots being in Canada? Can't seem to find a canada seller.
• What Nutes brand would you recommend a newbie like me? Advanced Nutrients seemed like a good bet but the whole set is like 20 different bottles lol.

• I have seen add-ons like air ball and some things like that, what would be the best setup to get? like wich extras should I not miss on.

I think this covers most of my questions for now, please help a newbie out on that one Popping in a little picture of my 2x4 tent Green Poison scrog

This is the Canadian importer for autopots. They can sell to you thru their retail front, or have one of your local dealers bring them in. It will be a bit pricey for shipping. I already scoped this whole thing out. Get the kit of 4 1-pots. It has everything you need and all in one box so shipping wise this is the best way to go.

You should also get 4 airdome kits and have them throw them in the pot kit box.

I think you can simplify the AN nutes. Someone just yesterday told me you can run the Bloom the whole run. No need for the Grow nutes bottles. That would be good because you will only have the 1 tank/res with that kit.

Thanks for that link, wasnt sure if it was in canada or not! Do I need any extras? filters or something other than the air domes. I was also thinking running two res for 4 pots, I currently run two tent but I am thinking I might run my 24x48 tent to grow some veggies and keep the 39x39 tent with a 4 pot setup, but still think two reservoir would be good. Do you have an air pump to recommend for a 4 pot setup?

I would get some extra disc that go in the bottoms. I think tou will need to bubble the rez too.

I have 8 pots. I bought two of the 1-pot kits.
I would buy the air domes for sure.
I also bought the res filter casing and sponge golf filters in case I want to add another res but I'll just source my own container locally (like a 5 gallon pail) and drill a hole it it for the filter and tubing. I think I want a third res for just water for flushing.
I would also look at buying some extra square root control disks.
Ask if they have extra shut off valves to sell. The kits have 2 each, but more is better if you want to control flow to each pot, which I do sometimes.
For an airpump amazon.ca is the best deal around I think.
I got this one: Amazon product ASIN B002JPPFJ0
You might just need this small one.
Amazon product ASIN B002JPM91W

Do I need to bubble the res also? it seems I cant see the air pump you are trying to show me its all blank Thanks for these info

just search amazon canada for hyrdofarm air pumps.
Get one that can do 4 pots and a some extra ports for bubbling the res. An 8 port manifold would prob be idea. It's $80.
