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

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.

No more hand watering love em as I can leave for aweek

Great product

I'm hoping these are great for growing tomatoes in the greenhouse. I've installed a solar powered irrigation system, and have the dripper going in directly to the base reservoir. This way any excess water runs off, but the soil in the air pruning bags are maintaining the perfect moisture level for the fruit and veg growing in them. The tomatoes seem very happy and I can leave them for a week or two, so it's less tying, so I really like these and will see how they do through the growing season.

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.
