Seen em. Think they're made in Hawaii. Basically keeps the lower inch (or 2") soaking in water. Roots get fed thru capillary action of the growing medium. Similar in principle to the Hempy Bucket. I'm running a modified Hempy bucket system, without the drain off and no res changes. Just add water system. It will work, but it can be done much cheaper for diy's.

hi islander , not hawaii'n , had 2 google capillary ! , yes fed through a tube !!. think the origins of this system are OZstrailian , with water conservation in mind . and thats where u get the 2 pot system connected together. mine are british {UK} http://www.autopot.co.uk/ yes it can b done cheaper /as can most things in life ! thanking u for ur reply and intrest . this system can b controlled tho . it dont leave the roots constantly wet{ soaking} it feeds each plant according to it's needs . roots are bottom fed with the medium wicking . whether it b compost {like mine} or coco {hydro} . good luck with the bucket = gonna investigate that cheers bongo

burning two 600 ATM , started off with a 600MH overlapping into the first two weeks in flower / then changed to HPS / then thought F'it {never tried mixed lighting before } an plugged them both in as it's easier to controle temps in winter time . pictures r from last week an beyond . but will put up here again . i'm using the biobizz range and like experementing {sometimes learning the hard way } and have shooting powder / currently in week 6 of 12/12 so gonna give that a try also . thanks for ur intrest , hope this helps explain how the system works . i will b starting an autopot grow diary in the near future to help others understand the working's of it all . cheers bongo .. edit to add , biobizz esp biobizz veg feed are not the best for this system , have a bubbler{airstone in the 100 litre {25gallon ish } in the water butt , but am finding it a bit to thick , leaving a messy resedue as the level goes down , the answer could b to have a smaller butt .,. not organic cheetos as i belive there are chemicals in my compost mix .

sorry had this pic a while , the root ball or square in this case . autopots with a 70% compost , pebbles and perlite with a little coco for luck . as said earlier the real benifit of autopots is hands
off watering whether it b for lazy , blase or just plain cant tend ur grow . tried and tested in soil .
