AutoPot Wet/Dry issue(?)

9 years ago

I am a first time Autopot user growing Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers and Aubergine in Autopot setups in a greenhouse. I have noticed that the water levels around the Aquavalve seem to stay constant but was led to believe this should go up and down to simulate a Wet/Dry cycle.

The plants seem to be happy and growing well - so is all well or am I missing something?

Thanks

Outside the autopot valves that water level will slowly dissipate as the plants consume it. Then, once it reaches a minimum level, the valve will open and refill the the max fill level.
Depending on the amount of visible liquid, the difference between high and low, and the rate of consumption of the plants it is possible you're just not seeing it refill.
