The pic u posted the other night looks the job m8, I'd swap a big9 for one of the 4 pot ones, definitely a bit more room in the new ones compared to mine

I don't think 25L pots will fit into the base, they come with 18L pots and they're a snug fit.
Like I say I'm pretty sure you can swap em for 20L airpot's but you might have to look at that again.

It's a different system than the 18 l yorkie, I couldn't find out much about it but it's the new xxl system, not the BIG range with the 18l pots, this one has 25l pots and more room

The 19 was a mistype, it was 15 first. Either way still wrong, lol

aye it looks like they do m8, ill probly put an extra one in each of mine when they get a bit bigger. What's ur plans when fillin the tanks?? I just use a 25l jar, mines are 140l tanks but usually just just take 4-5 jars in each about once a week or so

Aye I've just found one on ebay and my big hydro store in Bradford sells them.
I wonder why Atami doesn't list the 25L XL Wilma system on either their .com or .EU websites?
Strange that......

There is holes in the pots m8, I try to stop the roots goin in the tank, don't like them lying about the top try cos then the lights on them, have use root matting before to stop them growin out the pots but now with doin only 4 ther spread out more so when the roots grow out the pot they must get more light and kinda stop growin, guess it's the same way airpots work, like they get air prune

no, its a wilma NOT dwc,
just do what you normally do, all the iwlma does is add a timer to feed, use watever medium u want, coco and get the drippers set your timer and leave it to go,
so no u dont make holes in pots
but id advice put a airstoen in teh res, most dont but it always helps, nowt wrong with c02 in ya water

Ah Ha!!!!!
Don't use airstones! They break up and disintegrate after a while and the cheap ball ones don't even last 1 grow.
My local has started to stock porous rubber hose for about £3 per metre as an alternative (he's growing hydro herbs in the shop with it) and he said it doesn't degrade, doesn't get blocked as easy and lets out more and bigger bubbles.
It's not on their website to show you but I'll get a picture from the shop in the next few days.

theres no reason why u couldn't totally cover the top tray, let some roots grow out of pots into tank with airstones and get a bit of DWC on the go too
