How does it work?
it is great for any substrate .

you basically grow a plant with a healthy root mass by watering by hand for a couple of weeks , and once the anchor roots are in position you turn the system on. the system is automated, bottom feeding . the pots are in matching trays that contain a float valve , similar the an animal water feeder, that when the trough has enough water, the float rises and shuts off the water , once the plant drinks that water , the float valve releases more water again , and so on . you get explosive growth , and is more accurate than hand watering .

you need to use an aerated material in the base of the pot that has ability to wick. you can use soil , with two inch of perlite for example, or you can use all light mix, or all coco , or all coco with layer of perlite , and so on .... as long as you do not turn on the system until the roots have established , it is problem free.

i just have some slow release pellets in my tank, and just top up with water , and my soil has food in too , both organic and mineral

when i have grown bigger ops, i have used the autopots and coco ,with canna a and b , or light mix and ionic

you can use it for organics too , but keeping the tank as just water so you don't make a bacteria sewage soup

What do you use at the bottom? Perlite or clay pebbles?

smoking some silver sudanese just now. a little over dry this nug. i lost most the heads just taking it out the pot . very brittle delicate heads.

this weed gives some clarity , not too strong . i have to wake up early tomorrow

Fo' sho.

Wonder if @GreenestBasterd has harvested his yet.
Not yet, they're big fat bushes though and about ready to flip.

Been a slob over and after Christmas trying to stretch as much holiday as I can before working for another year...

My old man has broke a habit of a lifetime and got a passport and is coming to see his grand kids and go fishing, fishing is his main insentive unfortunately though haha.

He goes back on the 2nd so I'll probably just flip then.
