The 1Pot XL System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AQUAvalve5, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle.
The 1Pot XL System is easily extended so many pots can be linked to a single reservoir. Please see examples of typical layouts using 3/8″ pipe or 1/2” pipe in the image gallery. The pots & trays can be easily moved at will, if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Once set up and a reservoir is filled with water & mineral liquid feed this extremely versatile system will completely take care of all your plants needs.
All you need to do is remember to fill up your reservoir from time to time.
If you do not want to use a drainage layer of clay pebbles, hydroton or perlite No3 at the bottom of your pot, consider adding AirBases.
If you want to add extra oxygen to your root zone, consider adding AirDomes.

Received this recently. Shipped fast! Setup was a breeze. Ordered a few extra valves and connector pieces so I could easily drain. Only one gripe with the rez tank. I wish the top hole was larger to pass wires for wavemaker and my ph/ec/temp controller. I was able to widen the hole so it was an easy fix.

I absolutely love this system! I found that the 6.6 XL was slightly too big for what I was doing but the great part about it was that I was able to purchase a 5 gallon and a 3.9 Geo pot system that fits the tray, the base, and the air dome that I added to my system. I also just recently upgraded my system from the 3/8 line to the half inch line with the cross fittings half inch by 3/8 in order set my system up in a square so I could make more room in my tent and add a half inch in line filter. Currently, I’m running a 50-50 Coco coir perlite mix which gives me plenty of extra aeration in the soil for root mass. I just harvested for the first time out of the 6.6 plastic pot and I will say it was so easy to clean and get out all the substrate. The only thing I noticed was an error on my part by running a 90/10 to 80/20 Coco perlite mix which I believe would’ve been fine in the 2.9 but because there is so much volume of substrate I found the density was just too great and I wasn’t getting the proper airflow even with the air dome in order to really get the route mass that I desired. I noticed the root mass stuck more to the edges of the pot instead of running down the center of the pot and exploded at the base where the air down was located, but once again this was user error. I believe now that I have the 5 gallon Geo pot system and I’m running a 50-50 mix of substrate that issue will no longer happen in the original stunting of plant growth will no longer be an issue either. I would recommend these systems to any and everybody. To a 17-year grower like myself to somebody who’s growing for the first time whether it’s tomatoes or vegetables, auto pot offers so many varieties to choose from. Between the sizes, the tray to grow, the flex pot reservoirs allow you to supply a mass grow or a small four pot system like I have. I would highly recommend purchasing the bases along with the air domes. It just saves so much time and effort when it comes to getting your pH right, cleaning up between grows, and I believe the air dome speaks for itself! Just make sure your air pump is putting out no more than 15 GPH or you’re going to run into issues with your pot bubbling over. With my system, I was able to find a four way air pump with adjustable nozzlesfor each individual pot. I know I’ve written quite a speech here so I’ll wrap it up but with the auto pot system the options are limitless. Heck they make a XXL system that you literally can grow a tree from. I also recommend getting a small pump for your reservoir to make sure your nutrients are evenly mixed. Let it run for about an hour and then sit, check your pH EC and PPM’s and you should be good to go without having any fluctuation and swings in pH from adding things like air stones to your reservoir that are gonna create those issues. All in all their customer service is impeccable and if you ever have any questions they’re always there to answer and more than happy to help 100 for 100 recommend.
