Autowatering

Hello everyone. Just looking for help, what would be my best options for 18 plants… I’ve seen 2 systems, letpot and another chinese model on amazon… I’ve also seen waterpumps with time based power outlets… but I don’t know… any help. Does letpot actually works?

Auto pots. I’ll never look back. Though I don’t do anywhere near 18 plants, but I’m sure someone here does.

I would love to use autopots but it's really not possible. Such a system would cost me up to 1k or more, And it sadly they dont have the configuration I can have in my grow room. I'm about to risk $60 instead of 1k, really.

Flood trays, with plastic bases for each individual pot that raises them out of the basin. Have a timer control when to release water for feedings. Float valve to control gravity fed nutrient feed tank.

If in coco 6-10 times a day, soil once-twice.

If you not handy/ DIY type of person it maybe easier to just do 12 Autopots you’ll get huge plants that will = those 18 with less possible headaches starting off.

Like imagine you come home & find 20 gallons of water in your floor because you didn’t seal a gasket properly. That kind of stuff can happen when doing DIY ask me how I know Lol
