Self watering systems. Autopot, Vivosun, ac Infinity

I'm going to switch from soil to coco next grow. As part of that, I'm going to install an auto watering system.

I've been looking at Autopot, simply because it's the most popular. But companies like Vivosun, AC Infinity, and Spiderfarmer are all legitimate companies, and have watering systems as well.

Anyone have any input on any of these. I want to investigate as much as possible so I do it right the first time.

I have not used those systems. A friend has used autopot with success but had some clogging and flooding issues. When I switched to coco, I chose a setup using a pump/timer with distributing manifold and 50 gallon nutrient reservoir as I hate flooding issues. The manifold I chose is floraflex and I run it without any flow restrictors. The pump/timer on a UPS in case of power outages and pump runs 20 seconds up to 5 times a day every day. The 50 gallons last from 7-15 days or 7 days at 5 times per day. I would not recommend being so automated that you never check on your plants. Don't ask how I know. :wall:
