Fill a reservoir, leave for a week, and come back to healthy plants

The AutoPot Easy2Grow is a gravity-fed, self-watering system that feeds two plants per tray with zero electricity, zero pumps, and zero timers. The AQUAvalve5 fills each tray to a 1" depth, then shuts off until the plants drink it dry, creating a natural wet/dry cycle without any input from you. Each tray has its own valve, so a thirsty pair of plants gets refilled on a different schedule than a slower-growing pair on the next tray over. Start with a 2-pot kit and expand to 100 pots by adding extension modules to the same reservoir line.

Hand watering vs. the Easy2Grow
Hand watering
  • Water once or twice a day, every day, no days off
  • Overwatering and underwatering are constant guesswork
  • Excess water runs off the top, carrying nutrients with it
  • A few days away means asking someone else to water
  • Every pot gets the same pour on the same schedule
  • You are the irrigation system, and you never get a day off
AutoPot Easy2Grow
  • Fill the reservoir and walk away for a week or more
  • The AQUAvalve5 fills to 1", shuts off, and reopens only when plants are ready
  • Bottom-fed, zero runoff: plants absorb every drop through the medium
  • Go on vacation with nothing to arrange
  • Each tray has its own valve, so fast and slow growers stay on separate schedules
  • Gravity does the work: no electricity, no pumps, no timers, no daily routine
What makes the Easy2Grow work

AQUAvalve5 with 66% larger inlet 5mm bore

The dual-float valve opens to fill the tray to 1" and shuts off until plants consume the supply. The upgraded 5mm inlet on the AQUAvalve5 handles thicker nutrient solutions and reduces clogging compared to the older AQUAvalve4.

PotSocks and root control included

Each pot ships with a PotSock on the base and a Root Control Sheet. These keep roots from growing into the valve chamber, which is the most common cause of AQUAvalve malfunctions in long-running grows.

Built-in wet/dry cycle

Plants drink from the tray, the medium dries down, and the valve reopens. This mimics natural rainfall patterns and prevents the root rot that comes from constant saturation.

Works with soil, coco, or hydro media

Fill pots with coco/perlite (50/50 is the most popular mix), soil with perlite, or clay pebbles. Add a layer of perlite or an AirBase at the bottom for better aeration.

Expand anytime with extension modules

Add 2 more pots with a single easy2grow extension kit. Each extension includes its own tray, AQUAvalve5, pots, and PotSocks. Connect via tee connector to the existing line.

Up to 50% less water and nutrient use Zero runoff

Bottom-feeding means plants pull water up through the medium. Nothing drains out, and nothing evaporates from overhead watering. Your nutrient mix goes further.

How the system works

1

Position the reservoir

Place the 12.4-gallon tank on a stand or shelf at least 6" above the highest AQUAvalve5. Attach the inline filter to the outlet and run 3/8" tubing down to your trays.

2

Fill pots and place them in the tray

Add a 1" layer of perlite (or an AirBase) to the bottom of each pot, then fill with your chosen medium. Place PotSocks on the base of each pot to keep roots from reaching the valve. Set pots in the tray.

3

Hand-water for the first 7 to 10 days

Water plants from the top by hand until roots are established and can wick from below. Keep the system valve turned off during this period. Once the medium starts drying out quickly, the roots are ready.

4

Turn on and walk away

Open the inline tap, fill the reservoir with water and nutrients, and the AQUAvalve5 takes over. Check your reservoir level and filter once a week. That is your entire maintenance routine.

Everything in the 2-pot starter kit
Included with every kit
  • 1x 12.4-gallon reservoir with lid
  • 1x Easy2Grow 2-pot tray and lid
  • 2x square pots (2.2 gal or 3.9 gal, your choice)
  • 1x AQUAvalve5
  • 1x 3/8" golf filter kit, 1x inline tap, 1x grommet
  • 5 ft of 3/8" black pipe, 2x Root Control Sheets, 2x PotSocks
Options and add-ons
  • Pot size: 2.2 gallon (herbs, compact plants) or 3.9 gallon (larger, bushier plants)
  • Expand: Easy2Grow extension modules add 2 pots per module to the same line
  • Optional: AirBases replace perlite layer for better aeration, reservoir stand elevates the tank
Not sure which pot size to choose? The 3.9-gallon is the most popular for indoor growing because it gives roots more room. The 2.2-gallon works well for herbs, lettuce, and compact varieties where you want to keep plants short. Call or email us: 716-217-0353 / [email protected]
Frequently asked questions
No. You connect a tube from the reservoir to the tray, drop the AQUAvalve5 into its seat, and set the pots on top. The two critical steps are making sure the reservoir sits at least 6" above the highest valve so gravity can do its job, and that the tray is level. AutoPot includes written instructions, and we have a setup guide PDF linked above.
The AQUAvalve5 with its larger 5mm inlet handles liquid organic nutrients much better than the older valve. AutoPot now recommends organic nutrients as compatible with AQUAvalve5 systems. That said, heavy organic formulas can still produce biofilm in tubing and reservoirs over time. If you run organics, plan to clean the reservoir, tubing, and valve between cycles. Mineral-based nutrients are the lowest-maintenance option.
It depends on plant size, temperature, and growth stage. Two small plants in veg might go over a week on a single 12.4-gallon fill. Large plants in full flower will drink much faster, especially in a warm room. Check the level once a week at minimum and adjust from there. If you find yourself refilling constantly, consider adding a FlexiTank (25 gal or larger) to extend the time between fills.
A 50/50 mix of coco coir and perlite is the most popular choice because coco wicks water up from the tray efficiently. Soil with 30 to 50% perlite mixed in also works. Put a 1" layer of perlite or an AirBase at the bottom of each pot before adding your mix. This improves airflow to roots and helps the wet/dry cycle work properly. Avoid dense, compacted soils that do not wick well.
First, check that the tray is level. Even a small tilt can prevent the float from seating properly. Second, inspect the valve for debris, salt buildup, or root material. Remove it, rinse it under running water, and check that both floats move freely. Third, make sure the PotSocks are in place so roots have not grown down into the valve chamber. If you are still having trouble, call us at 716-217-0353 and we can walk through it with you.
Yes. All AutoPot systems with AQUAvalve5 use the same 3/8" tubing and fittings, so you can run Easy2Grow trays alongside 1Pot, XL, or GeoPot modules on the same reservoir line. Each module has its own valve, so they operate independently even when sharing a water supply.

Amazing little shelves
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I love them! I use them in my nail room for clients and to hold my product. They are sturdy enough to put phones, keys, and their water bottles on. Being able to hang them in different ways is awesome for different aesthetics.4 different sizes. Easy to put together it came away with all the hardware you need. My only complaint is that the wood fills rough so not really able to dust them. I have to fix that

Awesome little shelves!
Color: A. Black Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: A. Black Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
These shelves are actually pretty neat. Super easy to install with provided hardware and measurement paper. It's the perfect size for For smaller collections and even some frames if you wanted. I enjoyed the different styles to choose from when it comes to personal preference. Comes in three sizes for all your decor needs. Wasn't as thin as I thought it would be, now the feel isn't the greatest, but the look is pretty sweet. Held up just fine and the placement for the brackets are pretty cool. Either floating, bracket facing up or down. ideal for anyone who wants a nice looking shelf without breaking the wallet.

They hang easy!
Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 23-inch, Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 23-inch
I got my shelves well packaged. No defects. I did find it odd that the photos show a third way of hanging them where the brackets are hidden, but it's the only two top shown in the product photo of the hanging options that are shown on the instructions. It's easy enough anyway to hang without any instructions and I chose the second one shown anyway. They're good quality and look nice on my wall. Color is accurate and holds all my stuff the way I'd hoped/imagined. I wanted shelves that didn't stick out too far from the wall and they're a great fit. Super sturdy!

Great product!

The feeling of the shelf itself is a little off but it was super easy to put together and looks great! It comes with a mounting guide but I didn’t need it. I didn’t use to wall anchors and just screwed them into the wall and they haven’t been a problem at all!

Avoid the GOLD brackets. The finish is NOT accurate.
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I bought the BLACK/GOLD shelves because the ones in the photo seemed to match the drawer pull knobs I bought (shown in photo below). The product arrived neatly packed in a 17x6x4in. box. I can only assume the shelves themselves are great, but I only made it as far as inspecting the metal brackets sitting at the top, they feel heavy duty, which is great, but the product's photo posted in Amazon shows a nice gold finish, and these brackets have a dark mustard paint finish (with a couple blueish speckles sprinkled into it), there's nothing gold/metallic about it. The paint color reminded me of long-gone diaper-changing days. These are getting returned asap.
