TomoPol Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi. I'm new member. I'm living in Malaga. I'm looking for a system here and in one store guy said about a megapot system. Do u have any experience with that system? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Looks great for living soil perhaps? 56l Should grow a feking huge tree Welcome to UK420 @TomoPol Generally the info from Grow shops isn't necessarily to be believed What is it about the megapot that interests you? Do you intend to use compost or coco or pebbles, or some combination? What lighting/grow space do you have? Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow space is large in my opinion... light, temperature is not a problem, I would like to automate the feeding. In UK i used IWS but in spain i can't find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Kits like the ones you mentioned are often expensive for what you get There are quite a few ingenious people on here. Someone might be able to assist you with designing something that is made from stuff available to you. Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would like to show off your automated watering systems? Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokenroll Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Megapot to me is just a version of a hempy pot with airline and wick. Looked at it ages ago and thought just use a hempy. Toke... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 @TomoPol I have used a couple of different systems, none with soil or coco just bare roots. DWC works really well but you have to be spot on with root management and I no longer use it. This is my hybrid automatic top watering system using a flood and drain table with open flow top watering... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackpoolbouncer Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I won a mega pot system at product earth. What a pile of shite. Save your money. They are just an oversized tray with the cheapest of cheap ballcock valve and a standard garden water timer. I use one of the saucers as a trimming tray. I may use the timer for the polytunnel. Wouldn't be using it to grow dope though. May work for hydro purposes but bottom feeding via flooding is a no no for soil.

Maybe u have an idea what to use for 30m2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I totally forgot to tag you in @blackpoolbouncer. Apologies Yes @TomoPol, BlackpoolBouncer is definitely worth listening to. Atb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1500l no till bed, without a doubt or a fuck load of 70l pots. Or for ease to the average grower12 x 7.5l pots of peat based compost on blumats. If you want hydro I'm definitely not the person to listen to I'm a soil man although the peat and blumats is verging on hydro I suppose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this one, that big cloner of mine would be ideal for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
