I was going to use AutoPot's with super soil as well. Are you having issues with the setup or just wanting to add tea for plant health? Do you like the AutoPot with super soil setup?
:peace:

the soil was packed to tight in the pot i think i hope the bottom half of the pot was hard and packed down can't imagine what size it could have been if it went to the bottom of the pot.

Gotcha, thanks. I just hope mine doesn't leak all over the place. If that happens the wife will flay me. :peace:

I don't recommend the Air Domes they tend to cause roots stress and I've even seen them cause pruning of the roots over and over. Just like in some DWC/RDWC you can have too much air agitation.

BTW, how moist does the mid/upper region of the growing medium get from the auto-pots in your guys setups? I want to just use a heavy perlite organic mix called m3 and use plain RO with calmag in my res. Thanks.
