It seems like the best medium has been changing over the course of time as have must do's so ide like to ask for those of you who have been in the know longer than me your thoughts, I have google searched autopots and tried to read the most upto date info but that doesn't always help when grow journals don't mention they are using the system.
Seems air domes are out but are we still using root socks?
I was thinking of going soil less medium, so I could easily just follow a feed chart but I have been hearing some have PH lockout issues... Yet I have seen lots that don't. Is this happening often?
If one does go soil less medium is there a gold standard + ratio?
Coco and perlite seems to be anywhere from 50/50 to 70/30
What about promix HP? Straig or mixed with coco and what ratio?
The most recent info I've heard but not read is soil with 30% perlite mixed in at 70% and 30% coco as this avoids the PH issues but then your in a soil grow...
Currently I have 30% perlite and mkyos mixed into my 5 gallon fabric pots, they have a center plug to the bottom of happy frog followed by the top 1/4 with happy frog while the rest is ocean forest. It made it until about week 4 until I needed to feed nutrients as my tds dropped to 1000.
If one is going to go soil should we just go light soil as to deplete it asap so we can get to the hydro like game for bigger yeilds?
If not then I was thinking I might as well run a happy frog plug followed by the rest in a super soil that's hotter than even ocean forest, bluesky organics super soil.
Also is there a down side to running the plastic pots if only running autos which have limited veg thus smaller roots?
Because 5gallon smart pots fit in the autopot XL but the plastic pots they give you are more like 6.7 gallons and that could give you and extra week of not feeding any nutrients.

OK, here's your "real reply"-- yes, Aleks is an authorized vendor, like it says under his name... Only Admin can assign those so if you see it, you can believe it.....
