Autopots outside?

gwheels · Feb 18, 2019

Hi

I have a couple of the 6 gallon autopots. I think they might go on the deck this year but I have never used my autopots outside. Do people do that?

I would use happy frog/giant perlite mix and Megacrop when needed. Both would feed from a single res outside and i will make covers for the pots so they only get fed from the bottom.

Is there anything else to watch for?

1 will be ace seeds Malawi X Panama and the other Bhangi Haze or Kwazulu.

You should be good to go, however seeds tend to become root bound in such small pots; I would go with clones instead of seed plants. For seed plants I would recommend minimum 20gal pots.

Try Airpots-made from recycled Material; they allow the roots to breathe. This way, there is less chance of rootrot.
Disadvantage is that you have to water more often as the soil is drying up a lot quicker. Alternatively, you could try smart pots (I never used them though)

I will run 2 pots of 25 gallons. I have a pair from last year. I will save the autopots for indoors. Thanks.
