FlexiPots are a great alternative to plastic pots in that they spark plant growth by training the root structure rather than just containing it. 'Air pruning' occurs when root tips reach the side of a SmartPot.
Secondary roots then grow, making a fibrous root structure with much better moisture and food uptake. By stopping root circling, plants in smaller pots can also grow larger. The porous BPA free, lead free FlexiPot fabric also allows improved gas exchange in the substrate. Free to breathe, the root zone can see dramatically enhanced oxygen levels – supercharging growth.
A FlexiPot XL System has all you need to set up an automated watering system with fabric pots. The small size and movability that FlexiPot brings to XL means reductions in shipping costs and much easier storage for stores and growers alike. As with all of our systems the FlexiPot System is easily extended letting many pots link to a single tank.
It is easy to move the pots and trays. It is possible to space the plants further apart if the plants grow too large. Once set up with a water and nutrient filled tank this extremely versatile, gravity fed system will run automatically. It will take care of all your plants needs without the need for pumps, timers or intensive maintenance.
When growing in AutoPot Watering Systems it is essential that a PotSock Round (PotSock included) be fitted to the base of each FlexiPot to provide root control.
Please note: Room humidity may increase when growing with multiple FlexiPots indoors due to the porous surface of the fabric pots.
No more daily watering
Easily extended in minutes
No power / timers / mains water required
Simply gravity fed from a tank / water barrel
Also, environmentally friendly
Also, reduce consumption of water and feed by an impressive 50%, whilst increasing yields.
Due to the AQUAvalve's capability, they can remain unattended for weeks.
All AutoPot systems require ZERO POWER, NO PUMPS, NO MAINS WATER PRESSURE AND NO TIMERS to work. Whatever medium you choose, the system caters for gardeners and growers of all abilities giving great results. With the round based pots, the grower can rotate the pot while it's still in a tray.
The pots and trays can be moved at will, if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Also, once set up and a tank is filled with water and liquid feed this extremely versatile system will take care of all your plants needs.
Pot up your plants, water through, then allow your plants to grow in the pots for a period of 7 to 10 days before turning your system on. This will start a stronger and healthier root system.
Always raise your tank to at least 150mm above the highest AQUAvalve. When the solution is about a third full in the tank, refill it. NEVER ALLOW THE TANK TO RUN EMPTY.
For best results, we advise mineral feed such as Hydroponic or Coco nutrients. Do not use organic fertilisers, as they have a tendency to block small pipe work.
Clean all substrate from the bottom and sides of the pots before placing in each tray. This will ensure your system is clean from the start.
Always use free draining substrates, for example: 50/50 soil/perlite, coco/perlite, soil/clay pebbles, coco/clay pebbles, rockwool/clay pebbles.
Certain larger sizes are made to order, meaning it will take 10-14 days to build and ship.
