Stress-Free Growing With Automatic AutoPot Watering System

Welcome to AutoPot Watering Systems

Have you ever entered your garden later than expected, only to find the partially withered remains of your crop? When life gets stressful, gardening duties such as watering your plants seem to pile up with the rest of the day’s time-consuming tasks. And so, for all of us who value the relaxing aspects of gardening – GreenPlanet Wholesale welcomes you to the stress-free growing systems of AutoPot. 

While increasing yields, AutoPot systems have been proven to reduce the consumption of water and feed by an impressive 50%. With increasing concerns about water conservation and the environment becoming prominent in our lives, AutoPot is sure that more and more people will realize the advantages of using these self-watering systems. This concept in irrigation is one that the horticultural and hydroponic world has been waiting for.

Three Benefits to Expect When Using an AutoPot System

AutoPot combines the best of both hydroponic and traditional gardening techniques into a simple, easy to install, self-watering system. Many advantages, not to mention a reduced work-load, come with the move to an AutoPot irrigation system. As opposed to a more orthodox method of gardening, there are amazing benefits you can expect from switching to a small or large AutoPot system, including standardized self-watering technology, enhanced control and increased savings on water, liquid nutrients and electricity. 

1. Self-Watering

This benefit goes without saying; but, to better understand the processes involved in passive irrigation, you need only look at a single feature of the AutoPot system: the AquaValve. This small, unassuming feature is solely responsible for the self-watering technology behind any scalable AutoPot system. Its parts are simple, but as we all know from experience, sometimes the easiest solution is the most efficient. In short, the AutoPot AquaValve works like a miniature float-valve, letting in just enough water and nutrient solution to allow your plants the opportunity to quench their thirst. 

2. Enhanced Control

No matter how much experience you currently have, it’s likely that not all your plants will advance and grow at the same rate. However, with the use of the AutoPot irrigation system, this worry can easily be remedied with the controllability the system naturally offers. Because a crop in the AutoPot system is being fed passively, and not by an electric pump, this gives plants lagging behind the opportunity to feed themselves, and gives the gardener a second chance at breathing life into a struggling crop without the chance of over or under-watering. 

3. Water, Nutrient and Electrical Savings

Unlike growing in containers, where gardeners can expect as much as twenty percent runoff per feeding, there is absolutely no waste in the AutoPot system. This can allow for the savings of water and liquid nutrients throughout the growing and flowering stages of your plant’s life cycle. Even more important, AutoPot systems rely on only one natural phenomenon to function – gravity.  Being that no electrical pumps are involved in the processes of irrigation, the AutoPot system can make sure your plants are fed for weeks, even in the event of a power outage. Furthermore, growers with AutoPot’s have the opportunity to save on the electrical consumption of their garden by switching their current hydroponic set-up to the life-saving, stress-relieving, environmentally conscious AutoPot irrigation system. 

Purchase a Complete Watering System for Your Grow

AutoPot Watering System

The 1Pot System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AquaValve, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle.

Easy2Grow Watering System

A wide range of growing substrates can be used with the easy2grow system, either traditionally with soil, or hydroponically in rockwool, coco or hydrostone. Low maintenance, reliable and automated, the easy2grow system allows gardeners to relax, go away on holiday, and still be sure of healthy plants and bumper harvests.

Already Have a System? Check Out These Accessories

AutoPot AquaValve

The AquaValve is supplied with all AutoPot Watering Systems. Once connected to the water supply, the AquaValve will control the flow of water to the plants, by simple gravity pressure from a tank or water butt; no pumps, mains water pressure, electricity, or timers are required.

AutoPot FlexiTank

The AutoPot FlexiTank revolutionizes water storage and is everything you need to supply your plants with water and liquid nutrients in one compact box. It requires no tools for assembly, reduces storage, shipping costs and takes minutes to assemble. It really couldn’t be simpler.

AutoPot AirDome Kits

The AirDome is the perfect accessory for gardeners of all abilities. It has been designed to increase the amount of air around the root zone in plant pots. This little addition can increase yields by up to 130%. It is very simple to use once assembled, which will take less than 30 seconds. The AirDome is placed at the bottom of the pot, covered with media, and then connected to an air pump.

Take the stress out of gardening and experience the ease and technological innovation of AutoPot.  For product information and purchasing inquiries, contact a member of the GreenPlanet sales team or your local garden supply store.

Fish Sh!t and Your Garden: The Latest Root Enhancing Product From Fish Head Farms

Upon reading the label, you may feel that Fish Sh!t is just another product that seeks to entice its viewers with an overt, almost shocking name; but on a closer reading of the guaranteed analysis, serious growers will understand the potential benefits of a product like Fish Sh!t. Fish Sh!t is a proprietary root enhancing supplement manufactured by Fish Head Farms in Rhode Island, produced with the sole intention of introducing a clean and organic product which improves the vitality, quality, quantity and taste of plants and plant products. What could be cleaner than Sh!t… right?  

What is Fish Sh!t?

The simple answer is in the name, it’s Sh!t. However, for all those interested in a more complex explanation, a guaranteed analysis of ingredients can be found on the back of the bottle. In short, Fish Sh!t is a compilation of beneficial bacteria, fungi and protozoa, cultivated by providing Fish Head Farm tilapia with a complete and nutritious diet, along with a balanced ecosystem. Fish Sh!t is an OMRI listed, university tested, organic product, one which provides plants and gardeners with a rich and plentiful microbial profile, which as Fish Head Farms states, “is closer to a natural ecosystem than anything you will find on the market”. The science behind providing plants with a vast array of beneficial microorganisms is evident; and, from Fish Head Farm’s research alone, growers found plants enriched with Fish Sh!t exhibited an increase in yield, flavour and nutrient uptake.

Dosage and Use:

Fish Sh!t is hyper-concentrated and can be used throughout all stages of the plant life-cycle, even helping to break down heavy salts left by synthetic fertilizers in the weeks before harvest. A typical enrichment of  Fish Sh!t comes in at 1mL per gallon of water; to provide a more aggressive dose, for example, while transplanting, or during vegetative growth, Fish Sh!t is recommended to be used at 6mL per gallon for the first feeding, and 3-6mL every feeding thereafter. Fish Sh!t can even be used as a root-dip for cuttings and clones – just mix equal parts water and Fish Sh!t for the highest success rate. Whenever you choose to enrich your media with Fish Sh!t, step back, watch your plants, and expect a vigorous growth spurt! For accurate dosing tips in soil and hydroponic systems, refer to instructions provided by Fish Head Farms. 

Fish Sh!t: Nature’s power, channeled into a bottle through agronomy’s best practices

Grow With A Powerhouse Combo From ThinkGrow LED & TrolMaster

TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR GROWING ENVIRONMENT

One of our hottest product lines of 2020 has been ThinkGrow LED’s high-performance light fixtures. From their flagship Model-H to the far red channel Model-V, there is a lot that ThinkGrow has to offer.  What makes ThinkGrow lights a must use is the way they work synergistically with TrolMaster’s renowned Hydro-X and Hydro-X Pro Environment Control System.

The LMA-T works specifically with the ThinkGrow LED systems to provide two channel control, which allows separate control for full spectrum and deep red output levels on the ThinkGrow LEDs.

BUILD YOUR SYSTEM

Making your equipment work together can make a huge difference in the grow room. ThinkGrow and TrolMaster allow their products to connect to create a powerhouse combo that makes growing just that much easier. See what we have to offer from these brands below.

TROLMASTER HYDRO-X

The Hydro-X system is the professional-grade single-zone environmental controller. It is a fully customizable modular designed system. Installation is simple and the system is easy to expand. The Hydro-X system can control mainstream grow lights, HVAC systems, mini-split air conditioners, commercial dehumidifiers and humidifiers, as well as CO2 generators or regulators. With the free TrolMaster App, a user could access all settings and alerts on the system from anywhere anytime.

THINKGROW LED

These high performance LED grow lights are for the horticulture cultivation. It is designed specifically for high PPFD cultivation practices in vertical farming. Each Model is designed specifically for each stage of the flowering stages.

MAKE THE CONNECTION

The LMA-T works specifically with the ThinkGrow LED systems to provide two-channel control, which allows separate control for full-spectrum and deep red output levels on the ThinkGrow LEDs. The LMA-T simply connects to the lighting control ports Line 1 and Line 2 on the Hydro-X. Once connected, the user can then set individual ON and OFF times and the dimming settings for the full spectrum LEDs and also for the deep red LEDs. The LMA-T then is connected to the RJ type lighting control cables where each of the LEDs are connected back to the controller in a daisy-chain configuration using plug-and-play connections. One adaptor could run up to 256 ThinkGrow LEDs.  

Justin from GreenPlanet got a chance to meet the TrolMaster Team at Lift Toronto to learn more about the controllers they offer.

How to Grow a Consistent Crop

Growing crops that are abundant one year, but waning the next – does not a happy farmer make. Consistent crops that flourish year after year is what hobby farmers and large-scale producers alike are looking for.

As such, there are a few things to consider to ensure your growth is optimal each and every year.

Choosing Your Plants Wisely

If you are a hobby farmer and are looking to grow a garden to produce your own – well, produce, you will want to pick young plants that are bushy and have not flowered yet. This allows the plant to acclimate in your garden environment and growing conditions, with little to no shock in the replanting process.

Replanting plants that are already flowering – means they are also potentially seeding, and puts too much stress on a plant already accustom to its environment. So choose bushy but non-flowered plants that will adjust well, to ensure your garden grows as expected

Water. Feed. Repeat.

Just as humans will become dehydrated without water, or hungry without food …so too do plants become under such conditions.

Annuals, in particular, have short roots, so if the surface of the soil is dry, or if all the nutrients have been sucked from that soil, you are going to want to water and feed your plants sufficiently. Feeding your plants every 3-6 weeks with a water soluble fertilizer, will ensure they stay healthy and robust for the season in which they are intended to grow.

Groom for Better Growth

Getting rid of dead growth will allow your plants to flourish, and it will also prevent seed pods from forming. If your flowers have began to lay dormant during the time they should still be blooming, it is likely they need some maintenance and grooming.

As a way to safeguard against unhealthy plant growth, we offer a product called Bud Booster – providing optimal growth for your flowering plants. This bloom additive offers a high level of phosphorus, helping to promote blooming, and assists in the plant’s metabolism during the middle of the flowering stage. The potassium also helps improve the quality of your flowers/fruit and helps with the plant’s starch production.

At Green Planet, we provide natural products to enhance natural growth. Call us with any questions you might have, and allow us to help you yield the best crop possible; season after season, year after year!
