AC InfinitySelf-Watering Fabric Pot Base, 4-Pack Auto-Irrigation Water Delivery System with Reservoir Meter, Elevated Plant Saucers for Use in Indoor Grow Tents, Greenhouses, and Outdoor Gardens

Although they work as advertised and are of quality build without being heavy, I decided a drip system is easier.Few things to keep in mind, your nutrients need to be completely water soluble. It's recommended to remove the fabric pots between each water to keep roots from being bound. Your soil should hold more water content, coco noir based or of the like. It needs to be able to wick the water, some soils are better for it than others. Not many tie down grommets, and if you are training heavy the pot my collapse in on itself -- make sure you fill it pretty full to negate this. One last thing to note, the water level gauge can get stuck to the side, causing inaccurate readings. You may think you still have water left and its dry.If look and branding is important to you, definitely pick these up. I love everything I have by AC Infinity... Otherwise you can create your own drain pan using tupperware and a grate or something of the sort.Given those factors, I decided a gravity fed drip system was a better fit for me. I just find it easier to use 5 gal pots and maintain a single reservoir. Cleaning as needed.

I absolutely love these and have ordered them 3 times so far! They are well made and sturdy, and I love the water level indicator so I know when to add more. I use them slightly differently from how they are shown. I use regular pots rather than fabric, and I run the wick from the pot into the base. I use these for my huge plants that are prone to root rot such as my monsteras and fiddle leaf figs. My plants are loving them. The plants only take as much water as they need, so it completely takes the guess work out of watering. I only wish they made these in a smaller size for smaller plants.

These are great! Do exactly what they say. I grow for long periods of time in an indoor tent and I use nutrients. Periodically (every two months) I clean them out and clean the wicks. The nutrients can build up on the wicks which can slow the hydration of the plant but that’s expected. Great, great product.

It is too easy to spill water when filling these. I am looking at a way to add a funnel or something to control the flow because the rim on these is short and does not control the water as well as it should.

These are so awesome

Simpler/cheaper alternative to autopots.

Wife loves them

Great product, at first I didn't think they were working but about 36-48 hrs after filling the bases i could see they were soaking atleast the bottom half's of my fabric bases 3-5gallon bags. Then a little on top once the plants are all settled they just work. I love it. Didn't seem to really have a problem with over watering either which really surprised me. Overall great set very much worth the money. You maybe need to buy more rope eventually, im about there myself now but that's no big deal I guess. Water level floats are kinda janky and pointless, I just fill them up haha. You can also use normal pots with these you just need to cross the ropes through the inside of pot through the drain holes, if their big enough so their hanging down out of pot then fill with dirt, add plant, then put the ropes down into the base.
