AutoPot XL Kits | Gravity-Fed Self-Watering Grow System

🌱 AutoPot XL Kits — Guide & Product Information

💧 Flexible Gravity-Fed Growing System

AutoPot XL Kits are designed for growers who want a larger, more flexible self-watering system that can be expanded and arranged to suit different grow spaces. The XL 1Pot system allows multiple pots to be connected to a single tank, giving plants a consistent supply of water and liquid feed while dramatically reducing daily hand watering.

Once set up and the tank is filled, the system automatically supplies plants as they need it. The pots and trays can also be moved or spaced further apart as plants become larger, making AutoPot XL Kits ideal for flexible grow room layouts, greenhouse benches and larger plant setups.

• ✔ Self-watering XL AutoPot system
• ✔ Multiple pots can be linked to one tank
• ✔ Flexible layout with movable pots and trays
