Yield-Boosting Plants have unrestricted access to nutrients and water. They use what they need and are fed when they need it. Overall, you can expect a BIG yield. How It Works Plant pots sit on bottom trays. Due to gravity, feed flows from your tank, towards your these bottom tray. Each tray contains an AQUAvalve. When trays are empty, the AQUAvalve allows them to fill with 20cm of nutrient solution, for your plants to use. Then,. 30 - 60mins after plants have emptied these trays, your AQUAvalve will allow pots to refill. Your plants control their own feed - your AQUAvalve lets the pot fill, then your plant drain it. All of this mimics a flood & drain cycle without using a pump! Sizing Up All pots have a 15L capacity.

We'll show you how to: Choose your layout Set up the tank Set up the pots Connect the tank to the pots Move plants into the AutoPot AV5 System Get the system started We Recommend Keep your system sterile with Silver Bullet Roots. It kills 99.99% of root diseases and stays active in tanks for 5 weeks! Only use mineral based nutrient solutions – anything that’s thick, gloopy or contains organic ingredients can block your pipes. You’re sure to be safe with SHOGUN Samurai Terra Nutrients (soil) and SHOGUN Samurai Coco Nutrients (coco). Mix perlite or clay pebbles (50%) with coco, soil or rockwool (50%) as your growing media. Always put a 1 – 1.5” layer of washed gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom of each pot. Keep your tank topped up to maintain optimum efficiency. Introduce more feed as soon as the tank goes below 1/3 full. Make sure that you hand water plants for around 10 – 14 days before switching your system on. Flush your system every fortnight to keep pipes clear
