Anyone On Here Using Auto Pots?

[Fladawg01]

I am looking into Auto Pots (Gravity fed no power) just curious if anyone uses them or has used them. What can you advise on? Do they leak, do they water/feed sufficiently, any issues with plants not getting enough feed/water, etc. I am trying to learn all I can before making the attempt for my next grow. My main reason is I travel and need something that will take care of my girls while i am away and too make it somewhat less of a chore than water/feeding daily.
I am looking at their Geo System (for 5G fabric pots), big enough for 3 to 4 plants per grow in a 4X4 set up.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I've used them for tomatoes on the plot which I only visit once or twice a week
No problems, work fine - though I did go wrong at first with too much feed

do a quick search on the board. a few members use them. there have been some issues. they seem to work a bit better if you flip early.

some growers have been very successful with them. they seem to require more attention than advertised, like any other grow if you spend the time with them they produce really decent.

Apparently what's not fun is if the hose disconnects and the reservoir runs empty over the floor.
And the little valve mechanic can get silted depending on what you use.

Just make some some SIPS it's not gravity fed, it's capillarity fed.
