I must admit I've not had any probs with the valve sticking it does say in the instructions to check for any soil or plant matter that may block the valveThanks, i use them but i find the smart valve sticks some times and causes the plants to dry.
This has me checking the valve all the time which is a bit of a pain..
Yeah there was nothing visible blocking the valves, when the water level dropped it wasnt filling back up again for some reason..I must admit I've not had any probs with the valve sticking it does say in the instructions to check for any soil or plant matter that may block the valve
They say to make sure the reservoir is at least 1 foot above the smart valve as it is gravity that makes the unit work.. maybe it was that?.. I have mine 2 foot above so there is always good pressure from the res to the valveYeah there was nothing visible blocking the valves, when the water level dropped it wasnt filling back up again for some reason..
GSTC are you going to use autos again ?i invested in 40 autos nothing but probs,leaks and coco kept going dry in some at most 3 of me pots.celing fell through lol nothin but headake dont get me wrong pulls off fantastic bud i used bloombastic for me first time expensive but it works a treet 10/10.
sounds great, how do you stop the smart valve from floating around,and do you cover the tray around the pots to stop leaves falling into feed ?i bought the 40 pot autopot system and never had any problems with it apart from the price of the system.i've just made my own system using 1m x 1m trays and the aqua valve you get wit the autopots(you can pick 1 up for £10) which feeds water to 8 pots that sit in the tray's(£25).the pot's are £2.75.bat all in all a shit hot system.10/10
aqua walve covers will cost you £3 and work pretty well on the wheight front. i use black and white membrain to cover the trays this will be my second grow using this method and its worked a treat.if u need any more instructions let me knowsounds great, how do you stop the smart valve from floating around,and do you cover the tray around the pots to stop leaves falling into feed ?
