When growing in AutoPot, we recommend using a lighter, fluffier mix, for example a 50% soil or coco with 50% perlite. If you’re using something heavier with less aeration, for example a 70% soil or coco with 30% perlite, we highly recommend implementing an AirDome into your system to supercharge your AutoPot System and provide adequate oxygen to the root zone of your plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gVnSKtUzYpw\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/gVnSKtUzYpw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch the 4x perforated bubble pipe pieces to open the holes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the ¼” Cross Connector and attach the 4x perforated bubble pipe pieces to it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect all four ends of the perforated bubble pipe to the four connection points inside the AirDome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect the AirDome piping to the outside point of the AirDome.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip: Dip the AirDome piping in hot water to soften the pipe and allow for an easy connection onto the AirDome.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAirDome Placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirBase Placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlace your AirDome on top of your root control material at the base of your pot.
