Autopot vs. Drip irrigation in coco

yeah .. drip irrigation with some PC drippers allow you the best to manage your water content .. very important in bloom
and watering by the bottom with lead to salt accumulations.. even if you feed light to counter that, dry salt will accumulate in the upper layer of the medium

Tote size to fit your application ( I use a 13 gallon model), fountain pump, standard drip line, 8 point manifold, timer...you're golden. Add an ebb and flow table with a drain, collect your run off and feed your outside gardens / plants. No waste, very little hassle if at all and results to boot. Good luck.

I invested in a 100 autopot system. 1/5 of my plants died due to root rot, overwatering. Autopots are a waste of money unless you want to kill your plants. Use anything else. STAY AWAY FROM AUTOPOTS.

Auto Pots didn’t kill them you did. I’ve been growing in the for 5 to 6 years.

Where do you get this info. I’ve been growing in them for years. No salt build up.
