Visions, visits, videos, and views, AutoPot USA are turning on the taps and providing an inspiring, intellect-quenching, high velocity torrent of each. Whether it’s their physical presence at events or their digital content, our US distributor’s tremendous recent output has made a stunning contribution to the AutoPot knowledge base.
The range of this content is thanks, in part, to the US enjoying such a diverse spectrum of horticultural interests with growers’ looking for solutions to specific personal or local requirements across the nation. AutoPot USA are regularly approached with new, probing, particular enquiries that naturally spin out into further explorations of growing. High time we got you up to speed with some of their latest developments.
Real world growing, there’s no comparison when it comes to explaining the principles and practicalities of running a system. Hence AutoPot USA have partnered with Patrick (@project_grows) to produce videos that demonstrate how to set up for success using various AutoPot System configurations from his growroom. Patrick brings a wealth of experience and expertise having previously owned and run a hydroponic retail store in Michigan, worked as a sales rep for various companies within the industry and served as Head of Cultivation for two licensed facilities in northern Michigan. Patrick still consults with commercial facilities to this day and we’re excited to have him on the team to help AutoPot customers achieve success. Substrate mix, AirDome use, pot choice, establishing plants, feeding rates, pH and EC, Patrick tackles them all in structured, pace-perfect, recap-filled, high resolution video – small wonder the releases have been so well received.
Follow-on videos feature in-use tips that address life-cycle specific issues with plants in AutoPot. Already there’s pro-input on organic growing from Christine DeJesus, Galenas’ Director of Cultivation, with a whole host of celebrated growers set to follow in offering their own tips. You’d be seriously remiss not to give APUSA’s new YouTube channel a follow.
2023 looks set to be a packed year in terms of show appearances by AutoPot USA. The guys closed out 2022 in fine style at CannaCon Richmond and look set to continue engaging with emerging markets state-by-state. The signs from Richmond were very good with plenty on show to attract the attention of visitors.
US Managing Director Luke Stamper was delighted by the reception in Virginia, with the team meeting ‘lots of excited growers looking for ways to automate their gardens and make their lives easier.’ Of particular interest to visitors was the new XXL System. ‘We had a few offers to purchase the display right off the booth from organic and living soil growers who were buzzing at the prospect!’ The wait for XXL in the US is now over, with the system available from your local AutoPot Stockist and the AutoPot USA online store.
Friday at CannaCon was a most enjoyable opportunity to meet new and existing retail stores in Virginia plus local commercial growers. Saturday was focused on the people of Virginia and the team had a chance to speak with many growers in VA, including our friends that host the Crafting Cannabis podcast. Be sure to check out their newest episode (#20) featuring APUSA Sales Director, Manny Pelaez!
Inventive, engaging, giveaway goodies brought in end-users in their droves. AutoPot USA have created a very nice line in state-based stickers for every show they attend. This time around was a play on the ‘Virginia is for Lovers’ slogan that is everywhere in the state of VA on t shirts, bumper stickers, billboards, etc. Alongside these and branded apparel, the guys raffled off a batch of 4Pot Systems as is APUSA showtime tradition.
Homegrown VA in Richmond very kindly hosted a Store Day on the Sunday, the perfect chance to speak with their customers about AutoPot. Wit, enthusiasm, expertise, and some first-class displays make the store a must-see if you’re in the area. They host regular grower meet-ups and workshops which you can keep track of via their insta and have been known to harbor ‘the most interesting turkey in the world.’ Play your cards right and you might bump into the legendary ‘Bubbles’ of Gobble Grows, APUSA did, and they’ve never been the same since.
