AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base, 4-Pack Auto-Irrigation Water

I’ve been using these AC Infinity self-watering bases for a bit, and they’ve definitely saved me some time in the grow tent. The build quality feels solid, and the reservoir meter is a genuinely helpful feature to see when I need to refill without lifting the pots. They do a good job of keeping the fabric pots consistently hydrated, which seems to help the plants stay more stable between waterings. Setup was pretty straightforward, and they fit the standard-sized pots well. While they are a bit of an investment for plastic trays, they feel durable and functional for anyone trying to automate their watering routine a bit more. Overall, they do exactly what they claim to do, and I haven’t had any issues with leaks or clogging so far. It’s a solid, reliable choice for indoor growing.

I admit I was very skeptical about these bases when looking into them, and it took me a bit to finally try these out. I bought the 4 pack, and oh man, the results were shocking. I'm growing 7 plants in a grow tent using super soil, 4 with these auto-water bases, and 3 without. It's not even close, the ones with the auto water bases are doing so much better than the 3 I am watering manually. The leaves are so much bigger, and the plants are lush, and robust compared to the control 3. They are doing so much better in fact, that I bought another 4 pack of these to bolster the 3 control plants. My plants are so much happier with these, and the convenience is just a bonus. My tent, and it's systems are AC infinity as well, with humidity, and climate controlled by program. With these bases, I don't really need to do much except check in on them to see that they are doing well, and to water them when the bases are low. So much easier having everything automated. Takes all the work out of a grow. Highly recommend AC-Infinity products for their durability, reliability, and quality. They also stand by their products, any problems I've had with defects, or damaged items have always been met with a responsive team at AC Infinity to satisfy any issues I've had.

They do a FANTASTIC job. You do need to still check, dont invest your grow on the little water level indicator. Sometimes they get stuck. I have 8 of these now, 2 separate purchases. Will be adding 4 more.

Love these self watering trays, keeps plants happy and watered by wicking up from bottom of plant.

Like other reviewers I was skeptical of the effectiveness of this system. However, after having used them for over a month now, I can say they definitely work really well, and I will continue using these bases as part of my set up in the future. These bases don’t completely replace the need for hand watering, but they do help ensure a certain level of moisture stability throughout the grow so you won’t end up with dry droopy plants if you forget to water for a few days. I’m growing in 5 gallon fabric pots filled with miracle grow potting soil and these bases have kept the bottom 3 to 4 inches of the pots moist consistently. The bases went fully filled have been lasting around 4-5 days before needing to be refilled with fresh water. The plants seem to love it, but still show signs of needing a some water when the top layer becomes too dried out.. I find that top watering with nutrients every 4 to 5 days has been enough to keep the top layer moist and I haven’t had to hand water yet with additional freshwater following this approach. The water level meters are nice, but they do get stuck sometimes so when you check your plants you need to tap the meter with your finger to make sure they’re showing the right reading. Not a perfect system, but it’s still better than eyeballing it. To me the main design flaw is that the water filling port and the water level meter are on completely opposite sides of the base. This makes it difficult to see the water meter when you keep the filling port facing the front of the tent where it can be accessed. Instead, I put the water meters facing front. and when it comes time to fill the bases, I just remove the water meter and pour in that hole and I don’t use the filling port at all. This is the only reason I omitted one star from my review. Bottom line is that the bases work well as a fail-safe addition to my growing set up, but they don’t eliminate the need to water altogether. I will continue to use them because it reduces the frequency of watering that’s usually necessary, which makes the growing process a little bit more relaxed, and forgiving. Even for an experienced grower this is a great low-tech, low overhead solution

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.

Good quality

Work as advertised, they're a lifesaver. Less frequent watering goods a gallon of water and depending what stage of growth you're in you won't have to water for up to a week. Ac infinity for the win!

This basically combines all the advantages of growing in soil with most of the advantages of growing hydroponically without any of the disadvantages. Create the right biome in your soil and you don’t need to monitor your nutrient solution ever again. It also creates a couple of new advantages in the process; for example, you can monitor how much the plants drink because they won’t drink more than they need, which I’ve found was the most accurate way to determine when they’re ready for harvest (they very obviously reduce their intake when they’re ready). I can’t remember the last time I saw a fungus gnat either. I have eight of these and they’re amazing; this is honestly the best thing I’ve done to my little garden. I’ve compared the way I use these to soil, coco, and hydro. This is the second-cheapest, easiest, lowest-maintenance, most reliable, and highest-yielding of the four strategies. The only (minor) issue is that the float that indicates level often gets stuck in the up position, which can be fixed by adding a bit of weight to it.

works great with mature or established plants.

Great product

Todavía lo estoy probando, pero parece que funciona bastante bien con macetas de tela y cuando las raíces llegan hasta el fondo de la maceta.

Exactly suits my needs and fast service
