Autopot Easy2Grow 80 Pot Flexi-Tank – Automatic Gravity Hydroponic System

The Autopot Easy2Grow 80 Pot Flexi-Tank is the definitive tool for growers who want to scale up their production without multiplying their workload, offering a fully automated irrigation solution that guarantees maximum hydration efficiency. This passive hydroponic system manages 80 plants simultaneously using gravity, eliminating the need for electric pumps or complex timers, ensuring your crop receives exactly what it needs to thrive.

Nothing is more frustrating than seeing your harvest suffer because you couldn't water at the exact right time or because the distribution of nutrients wasn't uniform across all 80 plants. When you manage a large crop by hand or with rudimentary drippers, you inevitably face dry pockets, waterlogged roots in some pots, and thirsty plants in others, leading to an uneven canopy and unpredictable yields.

This inconsistency not only hurts your final gram-per-watt ratio but also creates constant anxiety, making you feel like a slave to your grow room where you have to constantly "guess" which plant needs more water. Instead of enjoying the process, you end up stressed, doubting your skills, and wasting hours correcting pH imbalances or reviving wilted plants caused by human error or equipment failure.

The Autopot Easy2Grow system solves this chaos by providing a mechanical, fail-safe solution that standardizes the hydration of every single plant. By using the laws of physics (gravity and fluid dynamics) rather than unreliable electronics, it ensures that every pot gets the same opportunity to grow huge, delivering stable, repeatable, and professional results cycle after cycle.

Why this product helps you get more consistent results

The heart of this consistency lies in the patented AQUAvalve technology found in each of the 40 trays (each holding two pots). Unlike drip systems that can clog or pumps that can burn out, the AQUAvalve allows water to fill the tray to a specific level (20mm) and then completely stops the flow. It only refills once the plants have consumed all the water, creating a natural wet-dry cycle that mimics nature but with optimized precision.

This design removes the variable of "how much to water" from the equation. The 750-liter Flexi-Tank ensures that the nutrient solution is mixed in a large volume, which keeps the pH and EC much more stable than in smaller reservoirs. When you feed 80 plants from one massive, stable source through a gravity-fed network, you eliminate the fluctuations that usually cause stress to your girls.

Furthermore, because there are no electrical parts to fail, you don't have to worry about a power outage ruining your crop while you are away. This mechanical reliability means that whether you are in the room or on vacation, the environmental conditions at the root zone remain constant, leading to uniform growth and identical harvest windows for all your plants.

Factors that influence the result and how to control them better

• Nutrient Stability: With a 750L volume, pH and EC fluctuations are much slower and easier to manage than in small tanks, preventing nutrient lockouts.
• Watering Frequency: The system responds to the plant's thirst, not a timer. If it's hot, they drink more; if it's cold, they drink less. You don't have to adjust anything.
• Root Oxygenation: The wet-dry cycle allows the roots to breathe in between feedings, preventing root rot and promoting fuzzy, healthy white roots.
• Substrate Conditions: Works perfectly with a 50/50 mix of perlite and soil or coco, keeping the medium airy and light for fast vegetative growth.
• Water Temperature: The large thermal mass of the tank helps keep the water temp more stable, avoiding shock to the roots.
• Even Distribution: Every single one of the 80 pots has access to the same nutrient mix, ensuring no plant is left behind.

Recommended routine to achieve good results every time

1. Prepare the Mix: Fill your Flexi-Tank with water and add your cannabis fertilizers. Stir well and check pH/EC.
2. Connect and Open: Ensure all 16mm and 9mm pipes are connected securely to the AQUAvalves and open the tap.
3. Initial Check: Watch the trays fill up to 20mm. Ensure the AQUAvalves shut off correctly (no overflowing).
4. Monitor: Check the tank level once a week. You don't need to water, just ensure the reservoir isn't empty.
5. Maintenance: Every couple of weeks, open the flush valve at the end of the line to clear out any sediment.
6. Record: Note down how many liters your plants consume weekly to dial in your nutrient schedule for the next run.

Advantages and benefits of that consistency

• Total Confidence: You can leave your house for the weekend (or longer) knowing your grow won't dry out.
• Massive Yields: Plants that are never thirsty and never drowned grow at maximum hydroponic speed.
• Silence and Stealth: No noisy pumps vibrating the floor means a stealthier operation.
• Scalability: If you master this setup, you can easily add more pots or tanks without changing your methodology.
• Less Waste: No water runoff means you save on expensive nutrients and water bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the AQUAvalve gets clogged?

It is very rare if you use clean mineral nutrients. However, we recommend installing a filter (included) between the tank and the pipes. Checking the trays once a week is enough to spot any issues.

Can I use organic nutrients with Autopot?

Yes, but you must be careful. Thick organics can clog the lines. If you want to go organic, use liquid ranges specifically designed for Hydroponic and Aeroponic Systems or use Biotabs in the soil and just water in the tank.

Do I need to put an air stone in the tank?

It is not strictly necessary, but adding a small air pump to the Flexi-Tank helps keep the nutrient solution mixed and oxygenated, preventing stagnation if the water sits for weeks.

What substrate should I use?

For the best results, use a mix of 50% absorbent substrate (soil or coco coir) and 50% aeration (perlite or clay pebbles). This ensures the wicking action works correctly without waterlogging.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've tested dozens of systems over the years, and honestly, the peace of mind Autopot gives you is unmatched. I remember setting up an 80-pot run with this exact Flexi-Tank setup. The first few days I kept going in to check if the plants were okay because I wasn't doing anything—no hand watering, no adjusting timers. It felt almost like cheating.

The consistency was the real game-changer for me. Usually, in a room that size, you get some runts and some giants. With the Easy2Grow, the canopy was perfectly even because every plant drank exactly what it needed. I reached a "sweet spot" where I could dial in the EC in the main tank and know for a fact that every single root zone was getting that exact dosage. If you value your free time and want professional consistency, this is the way to go.
