Agreed! Easy to reconfigure if you only have 3, or 2 instead of 4!

@Myfriendis410 How do you check your run off numbers using an Autopot system?

24

I don’t.

3rd post on same topic. This one has the most input from the forum. Maybe merge the other 2?

I am so sorry, I won’t do it anymore; I am not sure what to do if I don’t get an answer within, like, 12 hours. So I thought maybe where I posted the first wasn’t a busy room, and I did it again.and again, i didnt know it was even a violation. How do i merge 2?

No worries GroBro. I wouldn’t call it a “voilation” more to keep it all in one place. What to do is be patient. I was just pointing out that when people see the same thing multiple times, we don’t know where to respond. Also this isn’t texting. You may not see a response as quick as you want but we (regulars) are on here pretty frequently so someone will respond to your question or issue.

I was putting out the merge idea to the moderators.

It is correct as i said but the state of that plant worries me a bit :wink::joy:

How far long?

Is that what he is doing? Because there is a picture with 4 autopot trays connected by tuse, so its the autopot setup. In the picture, there is a closed uo of the valve. Now that I am taking a good look, it does not look connected.
The bottom feeding “being the valve” was somthing i was asking advices. I never suggested @OGIncognito use such a system
@OGIncognito Autopot is just a big tank full of water and nutrients which feeds the plants through a series of tubes connected to the main tank, the equivalve will be able to give the plants the feed they need

The aquavalves control the fluid levels and allow for a fill-to-drain cycle. The bases when empty trip a valve to open up and start filling the bases. When the level rises, air trapped in the floats cause them to…well, float…ad shut the water off with a valve. This prevents it from pissing out all over your tent, since the res is higher than the bases and gravity will drain the tank otherwise if the valve is left open. I have my res on an old milk crate, as they say it should be at least 6" hihger than the bases.

My comment about “HE is the float” was directed to @OGIncognito not to you, informing him that you are watering manually and NOT using the autopots as designed (using the floats), since you are manually doing this, YOU become the float mechanism.

@OGIncognito has been using autopots for a while now, I’d trust his input!

Sorry I just realised about your reply, the tubes are not connected i manually feed the reservoir but because taking the acquavalve was relativity easy to take off, minus one because it is set in a slightly different way, the tubes are instead quite hard to take out once in and if i didnt taped them when i feed the liquid woukd pour out, hope i explained myself and wasnt too confusing :grin::sweat_smile:

I read the all post now and you are right in regard of being able to lift them, or change them around, in one of them i have a shut of valve, it would be good also for the others :+1::+1:
