AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base, 4-Pack Auto-Irrigation Water Delivery System with Reservoir Meter, Elevated Plant Saucers for Use in Indoor Grow Tents, Greenhouses, and Outdoor Gardens

Although they work as advertised and are of quality build without being heavy, I decided a drip system is easier.Few things to keep in mind, your nutrients need to be completely water soluble. It's recommended to remove the fabric pots between each water to keep roots from being bound. Your soil should hold more water content, coco noir based or of the like. It needs to be able to wick the water, some soils are better for it than others. Not many tie down grommets, and if you are training heavy the pot my collapse in on itself -- make sure you fill it pretty full to negate this. One last thing to note, the water level gauge can get stuck to the side, causing inaccurate readings. You may think you still have water left and its dry.If look and branding is important to you, definitely pick these up. I love everything I have by AC Infinity... Otherwise you can create your own drain pan using tupperware and a grate or something of the sort.Given those factors, I decided a gravity fed drip system was a better fit for me. I just find it easier to use 5 gal pots and maintain a single reservoir. Cleaning as needed.

These things work great. I feed through mine with great results. Here's an auto that yielded right at 1lb dried using the wick base

Great product, at first I didn't think they were working but about 36-48 hrs after filling the bases i could see they were soaking atleast the bottom half's of my fabric bases 3-5gallon bags. Then a little on top once the plants are all settled they just work. I love it. Didn't seem to really have a problem with over watering either which really surprised me. Overall great set very much worth the money. You maybe need to buy more rope eventually, im about there myself now but that's no big deal I guess. Water level floats are kinda janky and pointless, I just fill them up haha. You can also use normal pots with these you just need to cross the ropes through the inside of pot through the drain holes, if their big enough so their hanging down out of pot then fill with dirt, add plant, then put the ropes down into the base.

Put a couple of tomato plants on the base and they are growing faster than the ones being top fed. The catnip is cranking. Going through 1/2 gallon of water/day. The kit is the way to go. Easy setup.Its been over a month. Temps high 90s and plants going through more than one gallon/day. I water from top then the bottom in 5 gal bags. May want to get larger size pot if growing tomatoes. Plants are about triple the size on the ones in the ground outside.Updated photos: cherry tomato plant #1 goes through 1 gallon overnight and 2 to 3 gallons during the day. Could of used larger reservoir. Plant #2 only goes through 1 to 1.5 gallons a day. Plant #1 is hitting the roof in the greenhouse and will keep growing down other side. Tomatoes in both have great flavor.Warning: water level indicators stick on all 3 pots. Need to pick up and put back in hole or you may end up with empty revisor and wilted plants.

I placed 3 plants on the stand that were not doing that great. Droopy leaves and me not knowing if it needed water or not. So when I got the bases I took a catch man and filled it with about 1 inch of water and placed the plants in the fabric pot directly into the water to wet the bottom of the pot real good and let it soak in the water for about a minute or 2 then after putting the wick and the water into the bases I misted the top of the bases and misted the wick so everything was wet and then placed the fabric pots onto the base and within 24 hours my plants di a complete turn around and perked up and looked very happy. It's like the plants know the water is down there because the roots found that water source very fast. Amazing product. The thing I didn't like much is the level indicator and the way it could get stuck but I was able to turn the indicator until the little red thing was balance in the center and was able to tell it was free to move by lightly sloshing the water in the pot and seeing the red thing in the indicator bobbing around.

Works really well. There are advantages to a single large reservoir. However, if you don’t need that, there are awesome. They absolutely work well. 100% worth the money. Held plenty of water. Very easy to set up and use. Had an amazing yield my first run with them.

I absolutely love these and have ordered them 3 times so far! They are well made and sturdy, and I love the water level indicator so I know when to add more. I use them slightly differently from how they are shown. I use regular pots rather than fabric, and I run the wick from the pot into the base. I use these for my huge plants that are prone to root rot such as my monsteras and fiddle leaf figs. My plants are loving them. The plants only take as much water as they need, so it completely takes the guess work out of watering. I only wish they made these in a smaller size for smaller plants.

I had a bad habit of either over-watering or under-watering my houseplants. With this self-watering base, I no longer have that problem. My plant's soil will only absorb water until the soil is wet. So my roots are getting the water and nutrients almost directly. I don't have to worry about watering if I leave town for a few days so I am very pleased. It is important to note that this unit only works with fabric based pots or bags. I don't think it will work for plastic or ceramic pots so, if you have those, this is not the product for you.
