@Psilocubensis, If you are asking how the air dome physically fits, it just sits there at the bottom, and with the 50/50 perlite mix is plenty porous to pass through a lot of air. If it's "how" as in performance-evaluation, Sorry, but I don't know what L/H is :-/ but I have no doubt the air domes contribute greatly to the insane growth and yield out of the autopots, and they are also dirt cheap. I also feel like I need to keep a closer eye on PH and nutes with domes because it's like having a little mini bubble bucket at the bottom. For this reason we added hydroguard as well, which caused the root tips to start shooting out the sides of the 5 gallon atopot xl's (airpot version) I'll add some pics of the roots and air domes when they come down fully. Just had the first snafu with the autopots - every system flooded, which I am assuming is some root interference, even with the copper lined bases. Unfortunately, it's impossible to really get in there and troubleshoot in the jungles.
I may run this whole thing again but add more calmag throughout, lower the plant count and start the training at a much lower level.
