Self watering

[TheBouncer]

Hi, I wanted some help on self-watering systems. I was thinking of going with auto pots I been looking around. There seem to be lots of options any help would be appreciated just need some opinions or better options I am kinda new to the game. There might be things out there I never even thought of. I am growing in 5-gallon smart pots tupur medium using bio bizz nutes.

I have some information on a self watering system I created. I have a thread on it in my signature. It is cheap and cheerful but has been working well for me.

I mostly created it as I had to go away for 5 days. I came home and the plants were thriving.

DIY Autopot Smartvalve setup

Bit long ago, but if its still relevant, here's a thread from me where i have put up some iterations of my watering setup over time. I like the autopot smartvalves a lot. Reliable no, electricery / timers involved and the plants get what they want...provided you have the soil mix right.
