AutoPot GeoPot Fabric Pot Systems, 1-100 Pots

AutoPot GeoPot Fabric Pot Systems, 1-100 Pots | Happy Hydro Fabric pots that water themselves, from one plant to a hundred The AutoPot GeoPot System pairs gravity-fed, electricity-free AutoPot irrigation with BPA-free, lead-free GeoPot G Lite fabric pots in 3-gallon or 5-gallon sizes. Each pot sits in its own XL tray with an AQUAvalve5 that fills to 1" of water, shuts off, and only reopens after the plant has consumed the entire supply. No pumps, no timers, no power outlet required. Start with a 1-pot system and expand to 100 pots on a single reservoir using tee connectors and expansion modules.

The result is a dense, fibrous root mass with more surface area for nutrient uptake instead of roots spiraling at the edge of a plastic pot. AQUAvalve5: plants decide when to drink The dual-float valve fills each tray to 1" depth, then closes. It reopens only after the plant uses the entire supply, creating a true wet/dry cycle without any programming or electricity. Wider 5mm inlet, less clogging The AQUAvalve5 has a 5mm inlet, 66% larger than the previous generation. Wider 3/8" fittings and pipework mean faster flow through the system and far fewer blockages over a full grow cycle. BPA-free, lead-free, double-stitched GeoPot G Lite fabric is certified against off-gassing and leaching. Seams use bonded polyester thread, and the rigid base helps keep plants upright in the XL tray. 1 pot to 100 on the same reservoir Modular Start with a 1-pot or 2-pot system. When you need more, add GeoPot expansion modules. Each module includes a tray, pot, valve, PotSock, pipe, and tee connector. Reusable pots, washable between cycles After harvest, let pots dry and brush off residue. For deeper cleaning, tub-wash in peroxide. Do not tumble dry. Most growers reuse the same GeoPots for years.

Gravity is the only force moving water, so height matters. Install the tank filter and connect your 3/8" pipe run to the first tray. 2 Set up pots with PotSocks and media Place a PotSock Round on the base of each GeoPot before filling. Use a 50/50 blend of growing media and aeration material (perlite, pumice, or clay pebbles). Transplant into the fabric pot and top-water by hand for the first 1 to 2 weeks to establish roots. 3 Open the tap and let the system take over Once roots are established, open the inline tap. Each AQUAvalve5 fills its tray to 1", shuts off, and waits for the plant to drink before refilling. From this point, do not top-water. 4 Refill the reservoir, never let it run dry Check the reservoir every few days and top off when it reaches one-third full. If it runs completely empty, air enters the lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal. Top off early, top off often.

Top-water by hand for the first 1 to 2 weeks after transplanting so the roots establish in the pot. Once you see healthy new growth and the root ball has taken hold, open the inline tap and let the AQUAvalve5 take over. From that point forward, do not top-water. Bottom-fed systems move salts upward harmlessly, but top-watering pushes them back into the root zone. How high does my reservoir need to be above the pots? At least 6" of vertical clearance between the bottom of the reservoir and the highest AQUAvalve5. Gravity is the only thing moving water through the system, so without that height difference the valves won't fill properly. Most growers stand the reservoir on a milk crate, a shelf, or a small platform. A higher reservoir also means faster fill times on each cycle. What growing media works best with fabric pots in an AutoPot? AutoPot recommends a 50/50 blend of growing media and aeration material. Common mixes include coco/perlite, soil/perlite, or soil/pumice. The aeration layer prevents compaction and helps water wick upward from the tray. If you skip the drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, consider adding an AirBase underneath to lift the pot and improve airflow. Will fabric pots raise humidity in my tent? They can. The porous fabric allows moisture to evaporate through the pot walls, which is great for root aeration but can bump tent humidity, especially with multiple pots in a small space. Make sure your exhaust fan and ventilation are sized appropriately. Most growers in 4x4 or larger tents with proper ventilation don't have issues. What happens if my reservoir runs empty? Air enters the pipe lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal, which means it won't reopen properly even after you refill. This is the most common cause of system trouble and it's completely preventable. Check your reservoir every few days and top off when it reaches about one-third full. Never let it run completely dry. Can I use my own fabric pots instead of the GeoPots? The GeoPot G Lite pots are sized specifically for the 1Pot XL tray. Other fabric pots may not sit properly in the tray or make full contact with the water. The GeoPots also have a rigid base that helps them stay upright and wick evenly. If you want to try a different pot, make sure it fits inside the XL tray with room for the lid to close, and always use a PotSock or root control disc on the bottom.
