6.6 gallons per pot, zero electricity, and every plant waters itself
The AutoPot XL System uses gravity and the AQUAvalve5 to deliver water and nutrients from a single reservoir to 6.6-gallon pots with no pumps, no timers, and no power. Each pot gets its own valve and tray, so every plant sets its own wet/dry cycle independently. The round pot base rotates inside the tray, giving you full access to the plant without disconnecting anything. Start with 1 pot and expand to 100 using the same reservoir and pipe run.

Side by side
Hand watering vs. AutoPot XL
Hand watering
- Water every few days, manually, per pot
- Overwatering and underwatering depend on your schedule
- Runoff collects in saucers, needs draining
- Can't leave plants unattended for more than a few days
- Each pot gets different amounts depending on pour speed
- Scaling to more plants means more time hand watering
AutoPot XL System
- AQUAvalve5 fills tray to 1" and shuts off automatically
- Plants control their own wet/dry cycle through the valve
- Zero runoff, water goes up through the root zone and stays
- Leave for days or weeks, just keep the reservoir topped off
- Every pot gets the same delivery from the same reservoir
- Add pots with a tee connector, same pipe run, no extra work
What makes it different
Built around the AQUAvalve5
AQUAvalve5 with 5mm inlet 66% larger
The valve's dual-float mechanism fills each tray to exactly 1" of water, then closes. It only reopens after the plant has consumed the entire supply. The 5mm inlet is 66% larger than previous versions, reducing blockages and allowing liquid organic nutrients to flow through the system.
No electricity, no pumps, no timers
The entire system runs on gravity pressure from a reservoir raised at least 6" above the highest AQUAvalve5. No power outlet needed, no pump noise, and no single point of electrical failure.
Rotatable round pot base
The 6.6-gallon round pot sits inside a clam-shaped tray and spins freely. Rotate large plants to access every side for training, inspection, or defoliation without removing the pot from the system.
Expand from 1 pot to 100
Every system uses the same 3/8" pipe and tee connectors. Adding a pot means adding one XL expansion module and cutting in a tee. The reservoir feeds them all from a single line.
Works with any growing medium
Coco, perlite, soil blends, and clay pebbles all work. AutoPot recommends a 50/50 coco-perlite mix for best results. Heavier mixes benefit from adding an AirDome for extra root zone oxygen.
Up to 50% water and nutrient savings 50%
Bottom feeding means zero runoff. Water wicks upward through the medium and stays in the root zone until the plant uses it. Nothing drains out the bottom, nothing evaporates from the tray.

How the system works
1
Connect the reservoir
Attach the filter and inline tap to your reservoir (hard tank or FlexiTank). Run 3/8" pipe from the reservoir to your first pot, then tee off to additional pots. Raise the reservoir at least 6" above your highest AQUAvalve5.
2
Fill the pots with medium
Place a Root Control Disc at the bottom of each 6.6-gallon pot (or an AirBase if using AirDomes). Fill with your chosen medium. A 50/50 coco-perlite blend is the standard recommendation. For heavier soil mixes, add an AirDome for root zone oxygen.
3
Hand water for the first 2 to 3 weeks
Top-water your seedlings or clones until roots are established and reaching the bottom third of the pot. Then open the inline tap and let the AQUAvalve5 take over. Do not top-water after this point.
4
Keep the reservoir topped off
Refill when the reservoir reaches about one-third full. Never let it run completely empty. If the reservoir empties, air enters the lines and the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal, which is the most common cause of system failure.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
No. You connect the pipe from the reservoir to the pots using push-fit connectors, place a pot and tray at each station, and open the tap. There's no wiring, no programming, and no calibration. The AQUAvalve5 handles everything from that point forward. Most people have the system running in under 30 minutes.
Yes. The AQUAvalve5 and its 3/8" fittings were specifically designed to handle liquid organic nutrients. The wider bore practically eliminates the blockages that plagued the older 1/4" systems. AutoPot recommends using their systems with AQUAvalve5 fittings for constant organic feeding. Earlier model valves with 1/4" pipe cannot handle organics reliably.
The PRO version includes an AirBase Round, AirDome Kit, and Propagation Dome for each pot. The AirBase replaces the perlite drainage layer at the bottom of the pot. The AirDome connects to an air pump (sold separately) and pumps oxygen directly into the root zone, which improves nutrient uptake and root development. The Propagation Dome fits over the pot and creates humidity for young plants during establishment.
That depends entirely on your reservoir size relative to your pot count and how much your plants are drinking. A single plant on a 12.4-gallon tank in veg can go well over a week. Four large plants in flower on the same tank might need a refill every few days. The rule is simple: never let the reservoir run empty. If air enters the lines, the AQUAvalve5 can lose its vacuum seal and stop reopening.
The XL pot gives roots nearly 70% more volume than the standard 3.9-gallon AutoPot. More root space means larger plants, better nutrient buffering, and less chance of the medium drying out too quickly under intense light. If you're growing in a 4x4 or larger tent and want to maximize plant size, the XL is the right choice.
Yes. Bottom-fed systems don't flush excess salts the way top-watering does, so maintaining proper pH in the reservoir is important. Target 5.8 to 6.2 for coco and hydro media, or 6.0 to 6.5 for soil blends. Check and adjust pH each time you refill.

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat.
That being said.
This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do!
However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.
›› enemies to lovers
›› fated mates
›› one bed
›› the chosen one
›› elemental magic
›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!!
›› badass female lead
›› morally-grey love interest
›› fae/human war
›› force proximity
›› touch her and die
›› who did this to you?
›› captor/captive
›› praise k!nk (panting profusely)
“you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.”
it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3
"something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book.
Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that.
I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice.
This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
