AutoPot Easy2Grow Extension Kit - Add Two More Pots to Your Easy2Grow System
Best for: Growers with an existing Easy2Grow Kit who want to scale up to more plants without buying a whole new system or header tank.
Our thoughts
Easy2Grow is built to grow with you - start with one tray and two pots, then keep bolting extensions on as you need more space. This kit is exactly that next step, sharing the same tank and pipe run as your existing kit rather than needing a second independent setup. Sensible way to scale without doubling your costs.
The AutoPot Easy2Grow Extension Kit expands an existing Easy2Grow Kit by adding one tray and two more pots, taking a standard Easy2Grow Kit (1 tray, 2 pots) up to an Easy2Grow 6 (3 trays, 6 pots), with further extensions able to keep expanding the system beyond that. Each kit includes an Easy2Grow tray and lid, two 8.5 litre pots (with the option to upgrade to 15 litre pots), one AQUAvalve5, two PotSock Square root guards, two matrix discs, one metre of 9mm pipe, a 9mm tee connector, a 16mm-to-9mm tee connector and a 16mm-to-9mm cross connector.
The pot, tray, AQUAvalve and pipework are UK-manufactured from recycled plastics and are immediately compatible with the parts in the original Easy2Grow Kit. The AQUAvalve5 fitted in this extension kit is a further revision of AutoPot's valve design, giving more reliable, consistent watering cycles than earlier valve generations.
How it compares
The Easy2Grow Extension Kit sits within AutoPot's own product family alongside the 1Pot system rather than competing with a different brand.
- AutoPot's 1Pot Extension Kit adds a single standalone pot and tray per module, while the Easy2Grow Extension Kit adds a tray shared across two pots, which suits growers wanting more plants per square metre of tray space.
- Pump-and-timer flood tables from other manufacturers can also expand plant count, but need extra pump capacity or timer channels as they grow; Easy2Grow scales by simply adding more gravity-fed modules to the same tank.
- Buying a second complete Easy2Grow Kit (with its own tank) works but duplicates parts an extension kit lets you skip, since it shares your existing header tank and pipe run.
You're paying for exactly the parts needed to grow your existing system, not a duplicate setup.
Usage guidance
The extension kit is designed to tie straight into your existing Easy2Grow pipe run.
Connecting to your system
Use the supplied 16mm-to-9mm tee and cross connectors to branch off your existing main pipe run and feed the new tray's AQUAvalve5.
Pot size choice
The kit comes with 8.5 litre pots as standard, with an upgrade to 15 litre pots if you're growing larger plants or want less frequent media changes.
Positioning
Keep the new tray at the same level as your existing Easy2Grow trays so the gravity feed and valve timing stay consistent across the whole system.
