    Hi Bart,

    I found an old auto pot system i my shed so i have set it up i the area where i was going to build a large wicking bed. The auto pots are really just smart supply on demand wicking beads and as the plants grow i can shift them around to give the plants room. I'm using both fish tank and nutrient water to feed them will let you know how they go.
    The Autopots work fine (I have five of them) but you'll need to keep the supply lines clean.......or they'll clog up with bio-film.

    When you use a heap of them, it's usually in conjunction with a great little injection pump setup and I suspect that ensures that things stay clear for longer.

    You can also set up a single smart valve so that it operates a number of pots.....or a grow tray arrangement.
