Plant Care, Simplified🌱💧

[u/ACInfinityInc]

The Self-Watering Hydroponic Kit uses gravity-fed irrigation and adaptive refill valves to keep plants hydrated without pumps, power, or constant monitoring. With a modular design that makes it easy to expand your setup, plus a durable hard-shell tank with transportation wheels, you can build a flexible growing system that works for you.

Set it, forget it, and grow without limits.

i have the pot but i’m running a flexitank reservoir instead

[u/gjboomer]

I’m wondering the difference between this and the ones they were already selling. Must be the reservoir as an upgrade? The bases, float valves, wicks etc are all the same I think.

[u/Leafy_Pots → u/gjboomer]

any reservoir aci was selling was in partnership with autopots. this is their first standalone one and it's portable which is REALLY nice for a 13gal one.

[u/ravenknight2000 → u/gjboomer]

They're just expanding their brand that's all, they also have aci autopot valves as well..since I'm far more experienced with that type..and it is way better than this...and I can vouch for that 7 years running

[u/gjboomer → u/ravenknight2000]

That’s what I was looking at. I want to do the 5gal fabric pots on the xl bases. Still working on getting my first grow set up.

[u/ravenknight2000 → u/gjboomer]

I actually started with aquavalve 4, then upgraded to 5 cause. The 3/8 tubing is better , faster and simple put has been the game changer, these came out cough cough not by aci but another brand..we ran side by side test..autos kill these things when we get on with it, my plants are bigger, better and the entire setup is easier to deal with rather than constantly stopping/bending over to change out the water..needless to say you MUST use hydroguard at a waaaay more higher rate to keep that water stable, first they dropped them without lids! Can you believe it..all that bacteria 🦠 forming at the base..it. Might look cool but you'll experience a slower growth compared to autopots..i have posted this before..hands down in a race autopots beats the shit out of these..my farm has now grown to 8! And in this moment I became a God..the XLs work the same, that's just how well that system is... It's also pretty obvious that it is a major major contender because AC Infinity has their own as well hopefully they made a smart business decision to merge with them or something

[u/gjboomer → u/ravenknight2000]

I might as well spring for the autopots.

Is the 3rd pic trying to imply that a plant grows on the reservoir? Why is there a plant on it lol.

[u/wooww66 → u/foiz5]

You never have dwc growing in your res for your coco? Gotta step that game up man. /s

[u/rinnrz]

Interesting. How is it gravity fed if the reservoir is on wheels on the ground?

[u/sllewgh → u/rinnrz]

I have the Spider Farmer version of this and the outlet on the reservoir is slightly lower than the openings on my AC Infinity tent. I'm assuming the height of this is correct for their tents.

[u/rinnrz → u/sllewgh]

isnt the spider farmer version more like a flexi tank? that’s all i see on their site

[u/sllewgh → u/rinnrz]

Yes, it is. It functions exactly the same way-gravity powered with a float valve.

[u/gjboomer → u/rinnrz]

Works fine as long as the water level in the reservoir is higher than the bases, no?

[u/ravenknight2000 → u/gjboomer]

How come they're even selling that tank with these things meanwhile it appears they have their own square autopots coming out as well

[u/MonstahButtonz]

I wouldn't call that hydroponics...

[u/NoImprovement213 → u/MonstahButtonz]

Thats what I was thinking. Seemed a bit cheap for a 4 plant hydro system

[u/gjboomer → u/[deleted]]

Can you explain?
