AutoPot 16Pot System with 60 Gal FlexiTank Pro. 3.9 Gal Pots

A Four by Four Grid on the AutoPot 16 Pot Pro System Sixteen square pots sit in four rows of four, every one in its own grommeted tray with a lid. Each pot holds 3.9 gal of mix and gets a Root Control Disc at the base. At the heart of each tray, an AQUAvalve5 opens to fill it about 1 in deep. Once the plant has taken that up, the valve opens again, and not a moment before. That on-demand cycle gives each plant its own feed rhythm and a real dry phase between fills. Supply comes from a 60 gal FlexiTank Pro, roughly 23 in wide and 33.5 in tall when full. The reflective, light-tight skin keeps light off the stored solution in a bright room. Hidden supports hold it upright, and capacity lines inside help with accurate mixing. The tank is food-grade, assembles in minutes and collapses between crops. At four pots per square metre, the grid needs about 4 square metres of floor. Plumbing a Precision Irrigation System for Sixteen Pots A precision irrigation system like this one meters water by valve, not by timer or pump. Set the tank on a stand so its base sits at least 6 in above the top of the highest valve. A 1/2 in click-fit adaptor and filter join the tank to 26 ft of 1/2 in trunk pipe. Two inline taps and a 1/2 in tee sit on that trunk for shut-off and branching. Eight 1/2 to 3/8 in crosses then feed the trays through a matching run of 3/8 in pipe. With the tank raised, move the filter a little way down the 1/2 in line instead of right at the outlet. Level the trays on benches or boards rather than cold concrete. Pot up into a free-draining mix, around half perlite or clay pebbles with coco or soil. After hand-watering the transplants, wait about a week before turning the feed on. Then refill when a third of the solution remains and check the filter weekly. Never let the tank run dry.
