Nice! Obviously I'm a fan of AutoPots. If I were going to upgrade my setup it would be to a drain to waste system. I understand in terms of control and yield drain to waste is superior at the cost of additional complexity, power, and water requirements. AutoPots are an interesting compromise -...

The veg phase passed without incident. The plants are now in day 2 of flower - I flipped the timer to 12/12 just a couple of days ago. I ran into magnesium deficiencies with another grow. I've introduced 1/4 tsp/gal Epsom salt and otherwise have stayed with the GH feed week 4 medium feed...

Hi everyone! Thanks again for all your help. Here's a quick update on this issue one week later. Actions I took two actions to address the issue: I sprayed the plants several times with Epsom salt - at first 1/2 tsp/gal then at 1 tsp/gal. I did this nightly for a while, then stopped. I added...

Another week, more growth with no problems I can notice. These plants have been topped at node 5 or 6 or so and are now growing into the trellis net. I'm feeding GH medium feed week 4 TDS 950, pH 5.5 as always. Note the white spots - I see these every grow. I'm assuming it's white mold and it...

I also use GH and coco (50/50 coco & perlite). I agree with the others about getting a TDS or EC meter. The "Aha" moment for me was when I started thinking about the feed mix and TDS separately. I personally mix up the mixture at about a 2:1 ratio (so 4 gallons of mix in 2 gallons of water)...

Maybe. I use Floralicious Plus for the sole reason that it's on the GH chart and as a bonus it turns the water brown. Let me warn everyone from my experience, though - don't spill a bottle of the stuff in your grow room. It's an oozy black liquid that seeps everywhere and it makes low tide smell...

Thank you and thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you!

Yes, kind of. I have 3 4x4 tents, all set up the same way with AutoPot XLs. I try to keep all variables as close to possible between the tents. Each grow I learn more about what not to do. So far I've run into issues with each grow, but I'm doing fewer things catastrophically wrong each time, so...

Hi everyone! Does this look like magnesium deficiency to you? A bit about the grow: I'm growing 4 white label Northern Lights fem photos in 5 gallon autopots with fabric bags. The plants are in their first week of flower and were vegged for about 5 weeks. For the grow medium, I'm using 50/50...

Thank you! You ought to make a grow journal - I'd enjoy seeing your setup. I just started one following my newest grow. Fingers crossed everything goes well!

Thank you! I am known to research things to death. That's half the fun!

Six days later and the plants are growing happily without any signs of stress or distress. I'm happy with the growth so far. I'll top in the next day or two, then set up the trellis net. I'm feeding GH medium feed week 3 at TDS 800, PH 5.5. Next week I'll switch to week 4 TDS 950 and I'm...

I don't see tons of folks growing with AutoPots. It's the only way I grow so I wanted to document and share my experience. You're welcome to comment, ask questions, and offer advice - what's the point otherwise? I've only been growing for 8 months and I had no prior gardening experience. I like...

I recommend the Arizer Solo II. My wife and I both have one and they just work. The battery life is very good and they're easy to clean. The only downside is that the size of the bowl is small. So, to compensate you can take along additional pre-packed stems. I like the system. If you wind up...
