The 15L pot provides growing space for individual plants, while the modular design makes it easy to expand from a single pot to a larger automated irrigation network. It is also an excellent choice for growers who want to reduce daily hand watering, avoid electrical irrigation equipment and maintain a flexible layout as plants develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by placing the \u003cstrong\u003eAutoPot 1Pot tray\u003c\/strong\u003e on a firm, level surface in your growing area. Position the \u003cstrong\u003eRoot Control Disc\u003c\/strong\u003e inside the tray with the gold side facing upwards. Place the black \u003cstrong\u003eMarix Disc\u003c\/strong\u003e inside the bottom of the 15L pot, then fill the pot with a suitable free-draining growing medium and transplant your plant. Water the growing medium thoroughly from above and allow any excess water to drain before placing the pot into the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the \u003cstrong\u003eAQUAvalve5\u003c\/strong\u003e into its designated position in the tray and connect the supplied \u003cstrong\u003e9mm irrigation pipe\u003c\/strong\u003e to the valve inlet, following the manufacturer's fitting instructions. Connect the other end of the pipe to a compatible external reservoir using the appropriate fittings and filter. Position the reservoir so that its base is at least \u003cstrong\u003e150mm above the highest AQUAvalve\u003c\/strong\u003e to maintain gravity-fed water delivery. Ensure the pipework is secure and free from kinks, then fit the tray lid over the valve compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllow newly transplanted plants to establish for approximately \u003cstrong\u003e7-10 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, watering from above during this period before activating the automatic irrigation system. Once established, fill the reservoir with water and suitable liquid nutrients, then open the supply to allow the \u003cstrong\u003eAQUAvalve5\u003c\/strong\u003e to regulate irrigation automatically. The valve allows the tray to empty before introducing more solution, creating the characteristic \u003cstrong\u003eAutoPot wet and dry cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e. Check the reservoir regularly, refill it when approximately one-third of the solution remains, and periodically inspect the valve, discs and pipework to maintain reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AutoPot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47346336366924,"sku":"AUTOPOT-1POT","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/3044\/4620\/files\/autopot-aquavalve5-9mm-module.jpg?v=1700131541","url":"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/products\/1-pot-autopot-module-aquavalve5-9mm","provider":"Hytec Horticulture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
