Now she just need to get really fat.Dam Stilton is Turning it on
Anyone using non-standard pots in the tray, should get some Pot Socks from auto pots, should help with root control
Just ordered 6 of them and 6 extra pots. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Afners with autopots----- I am looking for advice-----I apologize if I should have put this in the autopot forum or here....maybe a moderator can transfer if it is inappropriate....but here goes the story.
Had a free seed from Sensible Seeds called Old Man Socks. Could not find much information on its genetics, but nor did I really care.
I was board so dropped it, and grew it in coco/perlite 70/30 with Megacrop, And presently at 700ppm with Calmag 4ml----per gallon. Ph 5.8ish
Didn't really give a shit about what happened ...in fact it was grown in a somewhat cool environment 65F-73F. RH was rather good 60-40.
I saw how much fun you guys were having with Autopots and decided to purchase one.
At ~60 days I placed the 2 gallon fabric pot in the tray and filled the res.----It fit in rather nicely. No root inhibitor i.e disc was placed in the bottom.
My observations --- she is drinking and no signs of deficeincies, besides in the earlier stages had a little calmag issue but is rectified.
My Concerns and need your input on these items---
1. Noticing slight white mold on top of coco----should I be concerned ?
2. When i check the PH after once a day by day 5 it has drifted up from 5.8 to 6.6 ( i mix megacrop and calmag then wait 24 hrs then PH to 5.8 let it settle for an hour then check again before putting in the res.----should i be concerned since i am in coco?
3. If i don't stir the res after a day or 2 the Megacrop appears to become specs of a solid, not totally dissolved like when originally put in the res. The Res. temperature is 66-67F -----should i be concerned?
Thanks to all---trying to figure this out for future upcoming grow with better seeds.
