Grow Mediums Growing With Purpose Official Competition Thread

I can tell u folks I followed the directions to a T. The amounts and ec of solution and ph and things have been smooth sailing. I transplanted on day 14 and watered in with the instructed solution and waited the 5 days before turning on autopot res. Done, now they r on cruise control I add a few gallons of solution with ec between 1.0-1.2 and ph to 5.8.

I feel like this stuff is a perfect fit for autopots.

In your grow blog you used a table and pump set up to flood your table and drain. How do we do that with a single pot set up and no pumps ? Do we just submerge the pot you give us into a tub of nutrient mix then pull it out after a few mins ? Is it time for me to chuck out the old watering can ? Is top watering still a viable option, or does that defeat the purpose of Growpito ?

Top watering is not advisable unless you plan to flush and I suggest having a surfancant like yucca mixed in so that it is even and penetrating.

We have drain pans that you will basically be dipping the pot into. Capillary action of the Growpito is 4 inches. We'll make sure to be clear on this as we had the same conversation lol.

All very good points, I would love to see a video of how to use with Pots and autopots so everyone is covered.

Autopots should be fairly simple just like regular pots. We will cover this though.

A demonstration would be great! Would also love to know if my standard pot set has been shipped? Will be dropping beans soon.

I don't personally know the shipping times unfortunately

As long as I dont have to physically show my face or speak and i can type only i am happy to

I figured everyone would type and we would answer on video.

Yeah that would be fine. Yucca works as well. I purchased mine from Starwest Botanicals. Our beneficials also contain yucca, myco, humic acid, kelp and trichoderma.

I like the idea too, especially the typing from us with the response from your end.

That's okay bro. I wasn't asking for shipping times. International shipments are hard to tell. I really just wanna know if mine was shipped out? Thats all. If it was shipped out some time ago, I'll keep a lookout for it and will keep space in tent. I can tell that you are busy with the good response from fellow AFNers. Am very happy for you. But if plans have changed, i.e my location is not being considered anymore, please do let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I still look forward to be a part of this. Am only asking here cos my PMs are not being replied. I am always aware that testing is a privilege given and ppl who know me on here knows i take it seriously. Thank you bro!

@BakEQ
You're good. There were not any locations we had trouble shipping to. The start date was mostly arbitrary because we intend to make good on our promises and not leave you all hanging.

@RivetGrrl I'm thinking Zoom will be the best and everyone else can just turn off their cameras. Once everyone receives or are close to receiving I would like to establish a time that works for everyone. Thinking of possibly recording it as reference for future growers and those who might not be able to make it.

Might here me in the background but I'm camera shy lol.

Me too buddy! Guess it’s time I get into this century and get a zoom setup here to join the roundtable! Almost done with last 2 in 4x4 and will be a plethora of available spaces!

Hi Aleks, I was wondering the same thing as BakEQ. When did you guys ship these out ?
I'm trying to hold off germinating my next seed as long as possible to make sure I can run it in the growpito. You mentioned earlier that you would be shipping the first week of June, did all go as planed ? I'm hoping that if I start my seedling next week in a solo cup that the growpito will be here by the first of July to plant into. I'm in Canada so I'm a little worried about shipping times.
