What You’ll Need
1/2″ Vinyl Tubing
Each 1Pot XL Module includes a 1/2″ x 3/8″ tee connector, but 1/2″ tubing is required for the water feed line to connect to each tee connector. Each system is different in terms of amount of 1/2″ tubing it’ll need to supply water to every bucket.
Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our 1/2″ Black Vinyl Tubing-per ft. Select the amount of tubing your farm needs and easily plug it onto the supplied tees.
Grow Media
The AutoPot XL Module can be used with a growing medium of your choice. The optimal grow media includes a 50% mixture of perlite or clay pebbles and 50% soil or coco coir.
Luckily, we carry both clay pebbles and coco coir.
A Reservoir
A reservoir is needed to be filled with both water and liquid nutrients. Water and nutrients from your reservoir are gravity fed to each bucket as needed, eliminating the need for a water pump or complicated plumbing. The gravity fed water line is activated by a float valve inside each bucket for self-watering.
Your only job is to ensure the reservoir has an adequate amount of water and nutrients. The buckets will take care of the rest!
Aeration
Adding oxygen into your reservoir is essential for the plant roots and also allows for a steady flow of water and nutrients all while avoiding stagnation.
We recommend going with our 4-port AquaAeration Kit, complete with the air pump, sillicilon airline tubing, and four airstones.
