Nice on the 4 pot system! so I'm using the green leaf feed calculator to get an idea of how much to use depending on the plants growth stage, and i only do 50% strengths.
as an example, I'm in flower, i started my gal with 8 gallons of h20 in the res. green leaf recommends about 40 grams of mc during the early bloom period. i only added 15-20 grams though, as i want to run really light on nutes, my plant has been super sensitive to nutrients the whole grow so I'm going stupid light.
i just added green leaf bud explosion to the res as well, did 50% of the recommended dosage on that one as well.
i have been checking ph and ppm every day this past week and its been golden and rock steady. i plan on checking again when i change the res but other than that I'm putting the ph pen down, gonna try and relax and just watch the plant.
i have not done this next bit yet but am seriously thinking about it, but i think an air pump running into the res could be awesome, aerate the water and mix up the nutes a bit. i think the heat could be an issue for me but i am intrigued.
last thing ill babble about now, i don't think i am going to topdress/topfeed while I've got the autopilot going, if i need anything other than the mc i will mix it up in a small batch and dump it straight into the aqua valve tray, i don't wanna gunk up the lines any.
damn, i typed another book lol, sorry bout that! if you haven't checked already, there is a fantastic autopilot section here in afn. its listed under the hydroponics/irrigation section. great info in there!
are you doing a journal, @Cosmic_haze ? tag me up if ya are or you start one!

Thanks man I really appreciate the info that helps alot.! Yeah I thought about maybe running an air pump in the Reservoir as well... Definitely wouldn't hurt and would be a good thing... I also got 2 of the air domes to test out too... As soon as I'm done with my current run I will definitely do a Journal here.! I've got 2 journals going on over at growdiaries at the moment and if I can figure out how to link them here I'll link them.. So I've got maybe 2 weeks on my current run and then I'll start up the Autopot run... I'm going to follow you on your grow as well... Another question for you bro lol the directions that comes with these kits are a bit confusing on how to place Root control disc.! One guide says place RCD in "tray" gold face up and the beginner guide says place RCD in the pot gold face down...! Lol what way did you do it.?

Right now im not using the pot that came with the autopot, im using a 2 gallon fabric pot. I would go gold down tho, that seems to be the general consensus here in afn, at least of peeps who seem to have an idea lol.
Im on growdiaries as well yo! Afn is going through some technical difficulties right now and goes down at random times so i started on growdiaries as backup. My tag there is Fnord23.
And i suck with links, im using my phone right now but my plant in the autopot is in another journal. Shes around day 51, and has only been on the autopot for like a week.
Im gonna let her finish up in the autopot then ill start the next gal up in it for a full grow

I like grow diaries but I like the community here way better. You get real people giving great info. This is a legit place and I'm glad I joined up here over the other sites where people are shitty all the time. This feels like a family to me. I'll stay here too
