Hello, After 2 years of being told to get autopots I finally pulled the trigger after seeing a couple guys grows. They all run dyna gro however I'd like to run something different but have concerns about clogged lines.

I was looking at running botanicare pure blend which I believe would present and issue due to it being mineral and organic based or botanicare Kind line, Anyone have any experience with these in autopots?

Is it ok to run hygrozyme as well?

Also any input into weather the air domes are worth fooling with or if you just line the bottom with clay pebbles or what your methods are. Thank you in advance any advice/input anyone can offer would be great.

I started using autopots on my last grow ( not on this forum ). the Blueberry Domina was pulled completely out of the coco at about 12 days old..... almost tossed it! here's some pics:

I'm planning on using Modular Hydro's A.I.T., a flexible air-porous hose. For pots its a ring and a vertical loop. I used one in a DIY, bottom watered pot and it worked very well!

I rinse the filter every two weeks and flush the lines with water and air every 6 weeks. No clogs!
