A triple of excitement – Auto3 XL with 25ltr \/ 6.6gal pots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like existing tray modules, Auto9 XL<\/a> and Auto8<\/a>, Auto3 XL provides commercial growers with all the space-saving, light-optimising, low-maintenance advantages of irrigating multiple pots in a single tray and lid assembly. Combining the pots in one tray means footprint is reduced. Fewer lights are needed with plants arranged less loosely. Vertical racking becomes a viable option thanks to reduced maintenance on just one AQUAvalve<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto3 XL can offer a compact, flexible solution to commercial growers but also, significantly, brings the benefits of integrated tray irrigation to independent and hobby horticulturalists of the AutoPot persuasion. Auto3 XL packs three 25 litre \/ 6.6gal solid pots or three 18.9 litre \/ 5gal fabric SmartPots into a single tray and lid assembly measuring just 115cm L x 38.5cm W (45\u201d x 15\u201d). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Biggs, head of growing at Plantasia, has been enjoying superior results with Giant Kohlrabi and Swede (pictured Top). These are perfectly suited to the 25 litre \/ 6.6gal solid pots that the Auto3 XL accommodates, given the space to grow afforded by the pots. Such thirsty plants also really benefit from the ultra-responsive irrigation that this AutoPot Watering System provides. With these particular plants Ben has used Mill\u2019s Soil with Cork and Slow Release 90 Day Feed. The reservoir simply supplies water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peepo! The Auto3 XL Tray and Lid reveals it\u2019s low-maintenance sweet spot – a single AQUAvalve!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the sister system, running 18.9 litre \/ 5gal fabric SmartPots<\/a>, Ben\u2019s chillies have been thriving thanks to the air-pruning<\/a> facilitated by the porous pot sides. When root tips reach the porous side of a SmartPot they are deterred from extending any further by the air outside.\u00a0Secondary roots then develop within the pot, creating a fibrous root structure with vastly improved moisture and nutrient uptake. Root circling<\/a> is also thus eliminated making it possible to produce bigger plants from smaller pots. The porous BPA-free, lead-free SmartPot material allows improved gas exchange in the substrate. Free to breathe the root zone can see dramatically enhanced oxygen levels \u2013 supercharging growth. All this as a no-cost option with Auto3 XL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
