For beginners in hydroponic, it is best to start off with an Autopot hydroponic starter Kit – called the Hydropak. It is extremely simple not only to operate but also to set up. In less than 10 minutes, you can have the starter kit installed and ready for planting.

This is a hydroponic starter kit that uses all the same principles as the other starter kits but in a somewhat different way. It is supplied as a single pack with all the kits and components packed into a case that when unpacked, becomes a 30 litre nutrient tank.

It consists of a tray that takes two 10” grow pots and houses the Smart valve in a cavity between the cavities for the pots, the required amount of perlite/vermiculite mix (50/50), nutrient, filter, tubing and instruction booklet. The Hydropak is ideal for tomato plants, capsicums, eggplants, cucumbers, and a wider variety of plants. It is amazing the variety that can be grown and many people are equally amazed at the size of plant that will grow from the relatively small 10” diameter pots. Commercial Autopot users grew thousands of tomato plants with outstanding results using the same growing units as the starter kits.

The tank, tray and pots are plastic which allows their use indoor or out and with a 30 litre supply of nutrient you would have 4 to 5 weeks supply for young plants and at least 3 weeks supply for strongly growing plants nearing maturity.

From here, the Hydropak kit can be extended to more growing points. All you need are more of the Hydrotrays, pots and the Smart-valves which are simply connected together with joiners and tubing feeding off the same or separate reservoir tank

EXTENDING YOUR SYSTEM

You are not restricted in any way by your Autopot Systems. Add more trays. Simple T and straight joiners available from your Autopot supplier mean that you can join in one, two or dozens more trays. Provided you have nutrient flowing with gravity you can run remote trays anywhere you can get the tubing.

Limit your extension to 6 growing modules from a single tank. You will need to position the tank higher ( 5 feet) to increase water pressure.
