I also tried the autopot system, I tried it several times, indoor and outdoors and in my opinion its just stupid. I spent more time unfucking the (too) small diameter hoses and the flotation inlet etc. And in the end the pots were just small, 4 litres perhaps. I even bought a "aquaponics kit", didnt work out for me. Far from being a time saver in my opinion.

Water in the bucket. Pumps it up through the drain hole to the opposite side. The overflow/drain was a stub of pipe to maintain the water level of about 2 cm. A friend had made the tray on a CNC for some one time job and was throwing it away anyway. I hoped to avoid making a top lid but it was needed to keep everything in place.
I tried different variations. The floating stones (I forgot the english name for them) was the stupiest idea since they would get under the pots. That experiment lasted only a day.
The roots kept going brown and look unhappy, recover a little and then go brown-ish again.
I used proper fertilizer, bought two 25 kg bags of it :-)
Last night after posting I got into thinking maybe I could have had an aquarium thermostatic heater in the reservoir, 300w or something. Maybe...
Appreciate input, I didnt get much meaningful input while doing this.
PS, dog is my sisters. I never had one myself. But I like them.
