Live Stoner Chat 2nd tent grow

[THE BEAR]

i use one of those weather stations its great but i have my sensor on the wall of my tent with double sided sticky

I've got velcro sticky tabs, where would the best place for it be in the tent. I now have a bar running through the middle of the tent under the light and have it sat just below canopy hight. They are handy.

Wonder what the temps are in the tent, o. There we go, lol

bottom watered pots work well and it's harder to drowned a plant that way, as the medium will only absorb what it can wick, the top of the soil will be moist but not saturated. Go look at auto pot grows, the pots never dry out and there is solution in the trays 90% of the time. The moment the tray dries, the valve opens and floods it again. Bottom watering also does not compact the soil like hand watering does. IMO, bottom watering is the better method, it's just hard to change old habits of indoor growers.

Gona try your method for this one and if I like it will do two of the 1.5 liter ones, seems a very basic concept and should be no problems,
The soil in the pot I'm using did get compacted a bit from top watering, will this make any difference for using it for bottom feeding?

They will be fine! as long as the soil doesn't get too dry, it will wick just fine.

@The bear 88 your growing in soil yea? Are you measuring/adjusting ph? I'll give u one bit of advice from 1 soil grower to the other that I'm confident will help big time.. start using AN sensi as your base nutes.. even if its the only nute u use.. invest in some AN Sensi.. if cash is tight just get bloom.. skip the grow.. it will be the best money u ever invested in this wonderful hobby.. I know and accept that not everyone will agree but I can only speak from my own experience.. I don't measure ph at all.. ever.. I know id get better results if I did but atm I'm happy with what I get for the effort I have to put in.. and I rarely if ever have a deficiency that isn't cal/mag which i put down to the LEDs.. and not every plant gets that.. I get many plants through to harvest without a issue and I put that.down to AN Sensi grow/bloom. Now.. the AN additives.. not for me.. personal opinion on the additives.. 'the emperors new clothes' lol but the base nutes I would be lost without. Something to think about.

I agree with hope2grow. I measure ph religiously and am using the AN sensi line. I will say partial dose into 1.5L of water still needs adjustment. However, full dose 5ml A & B brings my 7.5 - 8.0 water down to 6.5 perfectly.

I couldn't do the bottom watering, when i went in last night she was all droopy and showing signs of overwatering so had to Stop the bottom feeding and im going to return back to top feeding with 20% runoff.
