Botanicare ready great o. I read a bunch about it and it came highly recommended by local grow shop guy good price great product never had a customer switch after going to it or complain. I won’t either lol. I will reuse though.

Thanks, I noticed they have different formulas, is there one you use? Looks like they have a moisture formula and an aeration formula.

The past several grows have been such a pain in the buttski, that I am dumping my Gorilla tent (never liked it, felt ripped off), all liquid nutes and all smart pots. The pots are pretty old anyway.

The [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] plant position has been particularly nasty. Nitrogen hits that very hard. I purposely waited until the current plant turned completely off color, then fed it Peruvian bird guano and after three feeds it is nearly back. It did this once before and the guano did a good job of bringing back the correct color. Just wanted to test a second time. Stuff smells like sheet and definitely smells worse than the hungry Zombie that chases me down the street. [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] position caught a bad case of phosphorus deficiency. My first, so kind of weird.

Now that I bought some 2.5" tall pot stands, I shall try air pots again and just let them drain into the saucers. It was too damn messy the first time I tried, but came to the conclusion that they needed to be given a second chance. I will be running my air purifier continuously for the next grow. Curios to see if that will help at all. I might consider trying a fourth humidifier to combat my ridiculously low humidity. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

The messy runoff thing has finally gotten to me, and the time draining saucers on my aging knees.... I think on gonna bite the bullet and raise my tent 18" off the floor and put in a 4x4 flood tray. If I shim it slightly the low spot will be @ the door and I can just siphon off the runoff...
But sheeeet... $$$... found one kinda local for about 80$, online the shipping is insane! I could drive to pick it up, and stay overnight... in a nice hotel... for what they want for shipping.

That's a good idea. Some years ago I had two 2x2 tents on top of 2x2 tables. It was good ergonomics. Certainly my knees liked it better. Good luck with your plan and happy bullet biting.

Not sure if your location but a cheaper option for runoff trays can be the flood tables they make for washing machines. They are only 2” deep so would not make s very good ebb an floe tsbke but are more then deep enough for runoff. Problem is they are only about 35” square. But might work to contain the plants in a 4by4 if they are in the corners of the tray. They can be found at most of the big box home improvement centers in the appliance section or water heater area. You could also fabricate a custom basin with the Epdm rubber they sell to make custom shower enclosures. Simple lumber frame with a rubber liner.
Just some ideas to save ???

I have one last plant left to harvest before finally being able to dump my 4x4 Gorilla tent. I'm going back once again to a 2x4. I will be using 3 gallon air pots and I might put a 2 gallon smart pot between them.

I am also changing to distilled water. My filtered water ph is simply too damn high. I've have been using far too much ph down, which basically poisons my little ladies. That needed to stop. I've been testing distilled water for about two weeks and it is sooooooo much better with ph down.

I was testing raw apple cider vinegar as well to lower ph. That was fine, however I won't need it with the distilled water.

Not sure how many Autocobs I'll use in the 2x4. I have 6 to play with if I desire.

Been back up and running in the new 2x4 tent with two plants. Fast Buds CBD Crack and Greenhouse Kings Kush CBD. Each are under two Autocobs.

I decided to purchase a water distiller after more testing. I tried boiling my filtered (tap) water and ran it through my Big Berkey emergency water filter which has two carbon filters. I wasn't happy with the results in relation to ph down and ppm. Boiled filtered (tap) water/distilled 50/50 was better. 30ppm. 7.8 ph. 50/50 filtered (tap) water not boiled and distilled water. 39ppm 8.49 ph.
Straight distilled water was the run away winner and I'm happy with the choice. The distiller I bought is the MegaHome stainless steel counter top for $239.00. It will push a gallon in about 5 hours, and now with only two plants, that is fine and dandy.
