AutoPot Tray2Grow — Happy Hydro

Water your plants automatically. No pumps, no timers, no daily checkups.

The AutoPot Tray2Grow is a gravity-fed, completely passive irrigation system that keeps your plants hydrated on their terms, not yours. No pumps. No electricity. No forgetting. It uses a precision AQUAvalve5 to release water only when the tray runs dry, so roots never sit in standing water and you never come home to stressed plants. Whether you're starting seeds, running microgreens, or growing in fabric bags, the Tray2Grow handles all of it from a single tray. It's the most versatile product AutoPot has ever made.

How it stacks up against hand-watering
Hand-watering / basic drip timers
  • Requires daily attention. Miss a day and plants stress.
  • Electricity or battery-powered timers can fail at the worst time
  • Over- or under-watering is common without close monitoring
  • Locked into one method. Can't switch between seed trays and grow bags.
  • Nutrient runoff and water waste add up quickly
  • Setup can be fiddly, messy, and hard to level correctly
AutoPot Tray2Grow
  • Fully automated. Gravity and capillary action do the work.
  • Zero electricity needed. No pumps, no timers, nothing to plug in.
  • AQUAvalve5 delivers water only when the tray is dry. No guesswork.
  • Five watering methods: seeds, microgreens, pots, grow bags, coco slabs
  • Closed-loop system minimizes runoff and dramatically cuts water waste
  • Spirit levels and grommet fittings included. Levels perfectly every time.
Built for how growers actually work

One tray, any growing method 5 methods

Seed trays, microgreens, small pots, grow bags, coco slabs. Switch between capillary spikes and capillary matting to support any setup without buying a different system.

Zero electricity required

Gravity does the heavy lifting. The AQUAvalve5 uses a simple float mechanism with no pumps, no timers, no batteries. Nothing to fail during a heat wave or a power outage.

AQUAvalve5 demand watering

Water only enters the tray when it runs dry, not on a timer. Plants drink what they need, when they need it. No standing water. No root rot from overwatering.

Dramatically less water waste 50% less water

The closed-loop system recirculates unused water back through the valve. No runoff trays to empty, no nutrients lost down the drain. Just efficient, targeted delivery.

Gravity-fed from any reservoir

Connect to one of the included FlexiTank options or hook straight into your existing reservoir. The tray sits below, no lifting or pumping required.

Compact, bench-ready footprint

At 44" × 16.2", the Tray2Grow fits standard growing benches, rolling racks, and grow tent shelves. Spirit levels and all hardware included. Level it once and you're done.

How the system works

1

Fill the reservoir

Water (with or without nutrients) goes into your reservoir. Gravity pulls it toward the tray. No pump needed.

2

AQUAvalve5 takes over

Once the tray runs dry, the float valve opens and lets in just enough water to fill it, then closes. No timers, no sensors to calibrate.

3

Capillary action feeds roots

Spikes or matting wick water up into your substrate, bottom-up on demand. Roots stay consistently moist without sitting in standing water.

4

You just refill the tank

The system runs itself until the reservoir is empty. Check it every few days. Refill less often if you sized up to a larger tank.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and it's probably the most beginner-friendly automated system we carry. There's no programming, no app, no schedule to set. You fill the reservoir, connect the tubing, level the tray with the included spirit levels, and you're done. The valve handles everything else. Most growers have it running in under 30 minutes. We also have the full setup PDF and if you get stuck, call us at 716-217-0353 and we'll walk you through it.
It's designed for outdoor use. The tray includes an overflow plug that prevents the tray from filling beyond a safe level, so a heavy rain won't drown your plants. Fabric grow bags drain quickly, and as long as your substrate has decent drainage, you'll be fine. We'd still suggest going with a 25-gallon or larger tank outdoors so you're not refilling constantly in warm weather.
That depends mainly on how large a reservoir you choose. For seed starting and microgreens indoors with a 13-gallon tank, most growers refill once a week. If you're running larger fabric bags outdoors in a hot climate, you may need to refill every 2–3 days with a 13-gallon tank . Or move up to the 25 or 60-gallon FlexiTank for true set-it-and-forget-it coverage. If you tell us your setup we can give you a better estimate.
Both work fine. The system is fully compatible with liquid nutrient solutions. Just mix your nutrients in the reservoir at your normal dilution rate and the valve delivers it to the tray on demand the same way it would with plain water. The included golf filter helps keep particles from clogging the valve. Rinse it periodically, especially if you're running thicker solutions.
Here's a practical guide: If you're primarily doing seed starting or microgreens indoors and can check on things every week, the 13-gallon FlexiTank is plenty. If you're growing in multiple bags outdoors in a warm climate, or you want longer intervals between refills, go with 25 gallons minimum. The 60-gallon FlexiTank is for larger operations or anyone who wants to set it and check it once every week or two. When in doubt, size up. A bigger tank never hurts, and you can always partially fill it.
Both are included with the standard kit. You get the capillary matting for seed trays, microgreen trays, and pots, as well as 10 capillary spikes for grow bags and soil bags. You don't need to buy accessories to get started with any of these methods. The only additional items are the optional microgreen trays (4-pack) and the raised planter box, which are add-ons if you need them.
If you receive a defective or damaged unit, email us a photo at [email protected] and we'll make it right immediately: replacement or refund, your call. For change-of-mind returns, we accept returns within 30 days for items in new, resalable condition. If you're not sure whether this system is right for your specific plants or grow environment, call us first at 716-217-0353. We'd rather answer your questions before you order than deal with a return afterward.

Works Great, soothing
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the best sunscreen I’ve used. I’m fair and after some chemical peels needed extra protection. This sunscreen is soothing and works perfectly. Blocked me from any sun damage and I live in a very sunny location by the ocean.

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen is the best choice!
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m happy I decided on Coppertone Pure & Simple Zinc Oxide Sunscreen. The 6 ounce bottle is well worth the price as a little goes a long way. I always give the bottle a good shake before applying it. This was the first year I sought out all zinc oxide sunscreens. I wanted to avoid the bad ingredients in regular sunscreens I’ve used in the past. This is free of octinoxate & oxybenzone which are the 2 main bad ingredients in most sunscreens. This pure & simple sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) which is an ingredient you should avoid in the interest of protecting your overall well-being. It’s also parabens, dye & fragrance free. I like the 50 SPF. I did some research on what it’s a good SPF to look for. This is what I learned: “SPF50 will last 2 hours in the sun. It should protect you 50 times as long as your skin would be able to naturally protect itself. However, remember that the lower the SPF and longer the length of time since application, the less UVB rays will be filtered so a reapplication every two hours is highly recommended.” Another great feature this sunscreen has is the active ingredient of zinc oxide is at 24.08%. I didn’t know what that meant so again I researched it. This is what I learned: “It’s recommended looking for a sunscreen label for a zinc oxide concentration of 20-25% for best protection from UVA and UVB rays.” So thumbs up on everything this Coppertone Pure & Simple sunscreen offers. Be careful as it comes out a little watery quickly but it rubs nicely onto my skin & is absorbed immediately. There’s no residue or white cast look to it period. Yesterday I worked outside for 5 hours. I took a couple breaks & did reapply after 2 hours. I didn’t burn period. This sunscreen kept my skin safe. I also decided to apply it to my face because I had it handy with me outside & my face sunscreen was in the house. This was lightweight on my face & didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I feel it could easily be used as a facial sunscreen. So many positives I’ve found with this sunscreen! I most definitely recommend it!

Doesn’t wash off easily
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It protects from the sun BUT it does not wash off. You’ll need to use some exfoliant wash or sponge to get it off. And you run the risk of staying certain materials if it isn’t washed off all the way and you go to bed with damp skin or hair. My pillow case became rust stained but I just couldn’t get the sunscreen off. It absorbed decently for a mineral sunscreen though. No crazy odor. Careful on the face for those with sensitive skin. It made my face very hot and itchy but no rash.

Great mineral sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great mineral sunscreen, rubs in well, protects well during high UV times, doesn't sweat off, not strong smell. Used this for fist time on a 95% high humidifier day while walking around Pittsburgh between 11am-3pm. No burning at all. There is a film left but that's for almost all sunscreen, so not any difference with this one. Easy to rub in and may leave a slight white coat but not as noticeable as some other mineral products. I will buy this again and recommend.
