The AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base is a self-watering stand for fabric pots that feeds water up into the root zone through wick lines, so plants stay evenly hydrated without daily hand-watering. Each base in this 4-pack holds a 3.78 L reservoir, carries up to 45 kg, lifts the pot clear of runoff, and shows the water level on a built-in gauge. It fits fabric pots up to 5 gallons. Quick Bloom Lights is the official Australian importer: stocked in Sydney, shipped domestically.

Passive watering, straight to the roots

Wick lines run from the reservoir up into the pot, drawing water into the medium as the plant uses it. The medium stays evenly moist instead of swinging from soaked to dry between waterings, which is easier on the roots and on you. The wick lengths are adjustable, and because the system is passive there is nothing to plug in.

A cleaner, drier floor

The heavy-duty drip tray catches runoff and stores it for the plant to draw back up, so nutrients are not wasted and water does not end up on the floor. The reservoir plate lifts the fabric pot off the standing water, which keeps algae and build-up from spreading into the pot. A water gauge shows the level at a glance, and a strainer spout makes refilling quick and tidy.

Upgrade to auto-fill

Add the Auto-Fill Upgrade Valve Kit and each base refills itself from one larger reservoir. A float valve tops the base up as the level drops, fed by gravity through 3/8″ OD tubing: no pump, no power. Link several bases to the same tank and the whole grow waters from a single fill.

FAQ

Which base do I need?

This base fits fabric pots up to 5 gallons. For 7 and 10 gallon pots, choose the XL base.

How often do I refill it?

It depends on plant size, temperature and airflow. Bigger plants in a warm, well-ventilated space drink faster. The gauge shows when it is time, and the auto-fill valve kit removes the job entirely.

Can I use it with plastic pots?

It is designed for fabric pots, which let the wicks draw water up into the medium. Solid plastic pots will not draw water the same way.

Can I feed nutrients through it?

Yes. Nutrient solution goes in the reservoir the same as water. Keep an eye on the reservoir and clean it between cycles so salts and algae do not build up.

Does it work outdoors?

Yes, it suits grow tents, grow rooms, greenhouses and outdoor gardens alike.

Very impressed with delivery time as i had 2 week old Roma tomato seedlings to pot. Took about 2 days for the self wicking to do its thing. Far out at 5 weeks of growth its blown me away at how healthy they are growing, nothing to do , except ph/ nutrient dosing in the bottom of pots so easy. Every 3 days top up bout 1 litre, it sure delivers water to the plant roots at the rate the plant wants, no more over watering. Will be buying more in the future

Add more wick

These things rock but players still say they don't get enough water. Try this as per pics. Remove extra wicks late in flower when the plant stops drinking so much.

Awesome feedback and advise. Thank you very much.

FYI, we are also getting the larger self watering pot bases soon, taking even larger pots.

Very easy to use.

quickest shipping for anything ive ever ordered online

Efficient Self-Watering Solution with Minor Considerations

Review:

The AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base 4-Pack offers an innovative approach to plant irrigation, particularly benefiting those who utilize fabric pots. Its design facilitates consistent moisture delivery to plant roots, reducing the frequency of manual watering and promoting healthier plant growth.

Key Features:

Automatic Water Delivery: The system employs high-absorption wick lines that draw water from the base to the plant roots, ensuring a steady moisture supply.

Durable Construction: The heavy-duty saucer can support fabric pots up to 10 gallons, accommodating larger plants and grow spaces.

Reservoir Capacity: Each base holds approximately 2.25 gallons of water, allowing plants to remain hydrated for extended periods, which is particularly useful during short absences.

User Experiences:

Many users have reported positive outcomes with the self-watering bases:

Extended Watering Intervals: Growers have observed that the bases can keep plants watered for 2-5 days, depending on the plant's water consumption. This feature is especially beneficial for those who may not be able to water their plants daily.

Pest Reduction: By allowing the topsoil to dry out while maintaining root moisture, the system helps reduce the likelihood of pest infestations.

However, some considerations should be noted:

Root Overgrowth: There have been instances where plant roots grow into the base's wick lines, making it challenging to separate the pot from the base without causing damage.

Air Pruning Limitation: The design may not provide sufficient air gaps beneath the pots, potentially hindering the air pruning process and leading to root circling.

Conclusion:

The AC Infinity Self-Watering Fabric Pot Base 4-Pack is a valuable tool for growers seeking a more automated watering solution. Its ability to maintain consistent soil moisture can lead to healthier plants and reduced manual watering efforts. However, users should monitor root growth to prevent potential issues with root entanglement in the wick system. Overall, it presents a practical solution for enhancing plant care routines.

Do you suck at OVER or UNDER Watering?

If you're a beginner, or even if you're a veteran, I think you will love these bases.

You see, the problem I used to have with watering was both under AND over watering.

Before I had these bases I would be afraid. I honestly didn't want to over water my plants and have the run off go literally everywhere through my grow tent.

So I used to under water, having learnt early on that I didn't enjoy mopping up nutrient solution off the floor of my tent.

Under watering on the other hand felt like I was too much of a helicopter parent, trying to find a balance of just enough water. Micro managing sucks.

The thing I actually love about these bases is that you can fit a 7 Gallon Geopot on them, another reason I thought I would buy a set. The fact that Autopot fabric pots are only 5 Gallon made me think this would be a great way to bottom feed like an Autopot but in a larger sized fabric pot. Enter the cliche saying "The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits"

Also if I want to go away for a few days, as long as I see there is a decent amount of solution in the base, according to the float valve, I can relax knowing that the plants will absorb whatever they want from the base, without me having to do a thing!

I don't regret getting these bases. I also found a neat little trick to make life easier with them also.

The string that wicks up the nutrient solution can easily move if you are trying to turn your pots on the base.

A great way to eliminate this issue is to simply tie a knot on each side of the string under the base. As long as there is string touching the solution it will wick itself up to the pot. No more annoying strings moving when you turn the pot.

Now I need more tents so I can buy more of these pots!
