Hello ,
My 1st post and 1st time grow with autopots and it bombed. I started with a xl double tray autopot growing a 2 photos. Used airdomes, clay balls covering them, then 50/50 fine coco and perlite. Dyna grow nutes. Everything going great time to flip to flower then I notice one is a male. No problem just remove it. I think thats when problem started. When you remove 1 plant it didnt change the height of nutrients in the tray But I believe it allowed the roots to stay in water twice as long as it was used to causing ROT. I will try again with autoflowers next time, photos are too large for the double tray. I found coco chuncks sold as mulch replacement and I think I will use 100% of them next time. One more thing I turned off the air dome after they were clogged and I couldnt force any air through them. Any thoughts on causes of this rot and I had some low temps a few nights (mid 50s F). Thank Yall.
