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

I admit I was very skeptical about these bases when looking into them, and it took me a bit to finally try these out. I bought the 4 pack, and oh man, the results were shocking.I'm growing 7 plants in a grow tent using super soil, 4 with these auto-water bases, and 3 without. It's not even close, the ones with the auto water bases are doing so much better than the 3 I am watering manually. The leaves are so much bigger, and the plants are lush, and robust compared to the control 3. They are doing so much better in fact, that I bought another 4 pack of these to bolster the 3 control plants.My plants are so much happier with these, and the convenience is just a bonus. My tent, and it's systems are AC infinity as well, with humidity, and climate controlled by program. With these bases, I don't really need to do much except check in on them to see that they are doing well, and to water them when the bases are low. So much easier having everything automated. Takes all the work out of a grow.Highly recommend AC-Infinity products for their durability, reliability, and quality. They also stand by their products, any problems I've had with defects, or damaged items have always been met with a responsive team at AC Infinity to satisfy any issues I've had.

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.

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 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.

I should have bought these sooner. Get the bigger ones, you can size the wicks to any size pot.

It’s a little pricey, but it seems to be very effective at keeping my berry plants but I have in 10 gallon fabric bags watered

Works great. # ACI
