Available in two formats — the Single 12 inch Module for one large pot and the Double 10 inch Module for two smaller pots — both use the AutoPot Smart-valve to deliver nutrient solution only when the growing medium dries out. No pump, timer, or electricity required. Multiple modules connect from a single reservoir for scalable gravity-fed growing at your own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow AutoPot Smart Valve Irrigation Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Smart-valve at the base of each Hydrotray module opens when the tray is empty and closes when the solution reaches the correct level. Plants draw solution from the tray through the growing medium at their own pace. When the tray empties, the valve refills it automatically from the connected reservoir. There is no runoff, no overwatering, and no pump schedule to manage. The plant dictates irrigation timing based on its actual water demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis passive approach makes AutoPot systems particularly effective for Australian growers dealing with temperature fluctuations — plants draw more solution during hot periods and less during cooler ones without any intervention.

It gives individual control over spacing and is the preferred choice for training methods like SCROG or LST where plants need room to spread. Up to 4 single modules can be fed from one 35L reservoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Double 10 inch Module holds two 10 inch pots from a single Smart-valve in the centre of the tray. It is more space-efficient and suited to medium-sized plants, herbs, and ornamentals. The double format works well inside greenhouses where tray stands can be configured for maximum space utilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a pump to run AutoPot modules?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. AutoPot is a gravity-fed system. The reservoir must be elevated above the module level to allow gravity flow through the Smart-valve.
