8.5lt Autopot Pot Divider

8.5lt Autopot Pot Divider

8.5lt Autopot Pot Divider – Get more from your Autopot modules!

PotDivider allows you to multiply your plant count without increasing system size. At a stroke, each of your pots is capable of holding four plants – each in its own separate section.

Excellent for tight-leaved varieties, herbs or for rooting seedlings for transplant!

PotDivider is perfect for the pre-veg stage, and is equally effective with plants that simply don’t require the run of an entire pot. A partitioned base removes the need for a clay pebble layer or Autopot AirBase in the bottom of the pot. When the time comes, the Pot Divider lifts out cleanly, bringing your nascent plants with it, making the process of removing plants and repotting an absolute cinch.

Examples of use:

Create a deep yet narrow planting pot – The importance of using a deep pot for seedlings, particularly for plants with taproots, lies in promoting healthy root development and ensuring the long-term stability and vigor of the plant. Taproots are the primary root structures that grow vertically downward from the seed and serve as the main anchor for the plant. There are several reasons why a deep pot is beneficial for seedlings with taproots.

 

Maximize a smaller grow space – Growing multiple small plant varieties in the same pot, often referred to as companion planting or mixed container gardening, is an innovative and space-efficient gardening approach that offers several advantages. This method allows for a harmonious blend of colors, textures, and scents, creating visually appealing and/or multifunctional arrangements. Additionally, it maximizes the use of limited space, making it an ideal option for balconies, patios, or small gardens. By carefully selecting plant combinations, you can create dynamic ecosystems within a single container, promoting biodiversity and attracting beneficial insects.

Autopot Replacement Flexipot 20lt

Autopot Replacement Flexipot 20lt

Autopot Replacement Flexipot 20lt fits an Autopot XL tray and allows you to combine power-free, water efficient, low maintenance, modular systems with high performance fabric pots. Flexipots stimulate plant growth by aerating, feeding and guiding the root structure rather than merely containing it.

The porous BPA-free, lead-free Flexipot material allows improved gas exchange in the substrate. Free to breathe, the root zone will see dramatically enhanced oxygen levels that supercharges growth.

When root tips reach the porous side of a Autopot Replacement Flexipot 20lt, they are ‘air-pruned’ (deterred from extending any further) by the air outside. Secondary roots then develop, creating a fibrous root structure with vastly improved moisture and nutrient uptake. Root circling is thus also eliminated, making it possible to produce bigger plants from smaller pots.

Extremely durable and reusable, the Flexipots are easily cleaned between uses if required. Once emptied, the Flexipots are best left to dry. After a few days any dust and small roots are easily brushed off. Whilst this level of cleaning is completely sufficient, the Flexipot may be machine or tub washed in a peroxide solution, in order to sterilize. Do not put Flexipots in a tumble dryer.

When growing in Autopot Watering Systems, it is essential that a Flexipot Potsock (Potsock not included with a replacement Flexipot) be fitted to the base of each Flexipot to provide root control.

Room humidity may be higher than using traditional plactic pots, when growing with multiple Flexipots indoors, due to the porous, airy material of the fabric pots.

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

The Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm will filter out small bits of debris that are present in a water tank or nutrient reservoir. This will help prevent piping and Aquavalve blockages from happening. This is very handy when using water sources that may contain particulates, for example rainwater. in your feeding or watering systems. Rainwater harvested from rooftops often has grit, leaves, twigs and other bio-matter in it and these will eventually get stuck inside small diameter piping or Aquavalves, leading to improper functioning of the system.

Contrary to clear plastic inline water filters this black plastic filter will block out all sunlight from penetrating into the water / nutrient solution. Any clear piping or fitting used in the supply lines of water and especially nutrient solutions will cause algae growth to form inside these clear areas, which may spread to other parts of the system.

The filter has barbed connections on each side, with the shaft outer diameter being about 12.5cm. TIP: If you are connecting piping to the filter, stick the end of the piping into a bit of boiled water to soften up the pipe. This will allow for much easier fitment.

The Autopot inline filter has mesh size small enough to catch particles that may cause problems in an Autopot system, but will still let through very small particles, bordering on silt / sludge. We advise consulting an irrigation supply store with regards to getting rid of extremely small or fine types of particulates.

Filter mesh size of the Autopot Inline Water Filter can be seen in the picture below:

Autopot FlexiTank Tap

Autopot FlexiTank Tap

An Autopot FlexiTank Tap comes in handy when you are planning or building an Autopot system and would like use a Click Fit Tank Adapter/Filter to run a trunk feeding line to multiple Autopot sets. These taps also serve to replace old, worn-out FlexiTank Taps.

The tap fits through the ready-made holes in both the FlexiTank and FlexiTank Pro ranges and includes 2 rubber washer seals that are hand-tightened to each side of the reservoir with the provided plastic nut. The tap can also be installed into any other suitable water reservoir through which the correct sized hole (26mm) can drilled to fit the tap. Hard plastic industrial drums are often use as water reservoirs when building hydroponic systems. When considering such a container, make sure that the plastic will not let sunlight through its walls. If sunlight penetrates into the nutrient solution, algae will start growing inside of it, causing nutrient depletion and Oxygen loss in the solution.

The outlet side of the Autopot FlexiTank Tap is threaded and fitted with a 26.5mm click connector, to which a Click Fit Tank Adapter/Filter can be fitted. Autopot piping (16mm) or irrigation piping (12mm) can then be connected to feed the Autopots in the system.

Autopot Aquavalve 5

Autopot Aquavalve 5

The new Autopot Aquavalve 5 is here !

Aquavalve 5 – a 66% Bigger Inlet

The needs of growers are ever-evolving, served by an increasingly diverse range of nutrients. With a bigger, 5mm inlet, the new Aquavalve 5 rises to the challenge of delivering the widest range of nutrients in a faster flow for a quicker fill, maximizing system efficiency. Maintenance is reduced and the risk of blockages is minimized.

Compatibility:

Autopot has made it easy to switch your existing systems to the new Aquavalve 5:

The new Autopot Aquavalve 5 is connected to 9mm Autopot Piping, for which various fittings are available. Simply drill out your existing water tank or feeding tray (e.g. Auto 9 XL or Auto8 tray) supply hole to a 12.5mm diameter size. This will allow you to fit a 9mm Top Hat Grommet into the hole, which will accommodate the Aquavalve 5’s 9mm Autopot piping.

If you are currently using a 12mm trunk line, simply switch out your old 5mm T or Cross Connectors to the new 9mm Cross Connectors or 9mm T Connectors.

AQUAValve5 for systems using 9mm and 12-9mm fittings.

 

Autopot Piping

Autopot Piping

Autopot Piping comes in various thicknesses and is made from soft PVC, which is slightly softer and more pliable than agricultural LDPE or PVC irrigation pipe. The elasticity of the Autopot piping molds snugly around pipe fittings when attached, providing a leak-proof seal when used in low and no pressure applications, like Autopot’s gravity fed self watering systems. Fittings can also be removed from the this type of piping quite easily, allowing for easy deconstruction or changes in system layout.

We especially recommend using Autopot piping to connect your Autopot Aquavalves because of the soft fit.

Below is a table of the approximate inner diameter and outer diameter measurements of the various types of Autopot Piping that is available:

General Name Inner Diameter Outer Diameter Compatible Fittings
6 mm 4.2 mm 6.3 mm “5 or 6 mm” Fittings, 6 mm Top Hat Grommets*, Older Aquavalve systems
9 mm 6.5 mm 9 mm “9 mm” Fittings (Used with the new Aquavalve 5 and Aquavalve 5 systems)
16 mm 12.5 mm 18.5 mm “12 mm” Fittings & 16 mm Top Hat Grommets*. Used for trunk lines in multi-pot systems.

* Correct hole size must be drilled to house Top Hat Grommet.

All are sold per meter.
