Hey all, I just received my AC Infinity self watering bases and was wondering how I should add Fish Shit and Recharge? Should I just put them in the main mix before I split it up? Each base holds a gallon. I’m worried it’s going to settle in the bases and not get used correctly. @Tylersays @Graysin ,do you guys have any thoughts?

I’m not familiar with AC Infinity’s setup for their self-watering system. But, my approach for adding things like Recharge (which settles out rather terribly) is to add it directly to the pot. For an autopot, I just pour my Recharge water directly into the tray my plant is sitting in.
I don’t entirely understand the AC system because I haven’t seen it in action, but it sounds like a similar alternative to autopots with a recirculating drain-to-waste system. I suspect that my approach would work just as well for your system.
I use FishSh-t in autopots and Voodoo Juice and Piranha. It does fine however the reservoir is always agitated by a wavemaker. I am not sure how it will do in a wicking type system. Have you tried searching microbes in Hempy Buckets?
