I have used the autopots for a few years, I use coco with perlite they are great and low maintenance. What size pot do you have in there? I found for me and my tents sizes a 10 liter pot worked better than the 15l standard that came with them. Looking good. What nutes are you using? I also tried with and without airpod things and was really no difference

I used essentially the same thing only 3-4 pots of perlite in a tray, I loved it, it worked great considering I knew absolutely nothing about the subject, yeah it was a godsend for me at the time.

That aside I've since used bottom feeding numerous times and it's always worked fine, I think they'll work for you.

What size tent were u using, was it 50/50 u were using
4 plant 4x4 50/50 vegged for 3-4 weeks with lst 10 litre pot is more than enough, I would recommend a rez cleaner to feed like ATA clean, my pipes have blocked in the past with poor maintenance this stuff is great for these

@Frogglet Legs would u suggest replanting my taller plants in to auto pot or would the coco stay to wet for stem,

Would topping be a bettwr option
Are you refer to your 2 plants in pic? I think that pot is big enough to flower in, yes top up pot with coco is fine eventually new roots will grow out from the the stem covered (if that's what you meant) I would stick with your lst that you are doing looks fine maybe tie down branches a little more and I think you doing good. Jus chill let em veg and lst them for now. What strain? Anything tasty?

Orient the pots so the valve and cover are accessible it's a pain when you are 6 weeks into flip and a valve has stopped functioning and you need to get to it right at the back of the tent.
If you do need to lift the pots out of the base make sure you have shut the reservoir off otherwise the bases will fill up and when you put the pots back in they over-flow.
Also never noticed a difference with the air-domes .
