How many plants are you going to run? From seed or clone? How many strains?

I use auto pots and they work perfectly and don't use any pumps just gravity and the aqua valves simple but works great

these work like self-watering pots, sip-style? I've wondered what the pot looks like taken apart.

 

[Fishbulb]

Yep I have use Coco and soil. Currently running Coco and fabric pots.

I have a 200 litre Res and a main water line and then t off it for the pots. Best think I've ever done. Mid flower with 8 pots I can get about 2 weeks with not having to refill the Res.

My set up

that looks killer
that's not the same system as in the pic from the op, right? Those trays underneath look cool - where'd you get em? In guessing you get up the system yourself?

Piece of piss
Steps
1. Get the kit for how ever many u want
2 cut the lines to you needs
3 fill the Res and add nutrients if u want

Smoke a joint and watch the trays fill and the media soak up the water

4 refill when needed

I have an air pump blasting a 24" air stone in the Res not needed but it keep the water moving and stops it smelling


I got the kit off ebay

Yea so your going to probably have issues with phenotypes and different needs nutrients wise for them.

What one plant will need isn't necessarily what the other 5 will.

 

[Dug123]

They will be the sane strain ?

Doesn't matter. Different phenotypes from different seed of the same strain unfortunately. The only way to do this is with clones and you may still run into issues if ones root ball is more extensive than the others.

That’s interesting, didn’t consider that. Makes sense tho

No offense but your center plant has issues while the others are fine.

Which is exactly what I am talking about.

I'm not saying not to do it btw. I'm only pointing out the issue.

Bottom feeding ends up with salt build up. Check out the iws autodrain dripper drain to waste system. Feeds from the top and pumps away any run off... its awesome. There is another brand called rizzo stands.
