Grow Mediums Growpito + AutoPots

Well your you’re gonna have to figure something out lol I’m gonna need to see weekly updates.
The DWC autopot simulation will be run just like autopots.
No reservoir changes ever, unless something smells.
A float valve inside the reservoir will keep volume at 5 gallons, and roughly 600 ppm fluid will be in the storage reservoir, as with the autopots.
I think this will work because my DWC plants usually drink about 1/2 gallon each daily after flowering, so this 5 gallon reservoir is totally replaced about every 5 days.
I got too busy building stuff, and let my hydro sprouts (Left = FastBuds BlackBerry, Right = Mephisto 3BearsOG) get nute burned, but the new growth is ok.

The autopots are doing well.
Because this isn't a test using the same strain, I can only give opinions.
So far the autopot growth seems almost, but not quite as good as hydro.
In hydro I'd expect more branches and vegetation, but this could just be strain dependent.
RocBud PurpleScoops on the left, and RocBud PassionPunch on the right.

Growth looks good to me. I stayed away from from hydro because too growth and from a lot of what I’ve seen quite a bit longer run times for most autos.
Also surprised as passion punch outgrew purple scoops. I haven’t grown passion punch yet but I thought it was supposed to be a little Smaller and the scoops has been decent sized. Either way you gonna have some fire when you’re done. Purple Scoops is legit smoke and I’m sure passion punch
Is too but can’t speak first hand

I got over-confident with these autopots, and thought I could quickly solve any problems.
I increased feed too much to 600 ppm instead of the recommended 500, and got lights a bit too close.
So now the left plant, Purple Scoops has the worst nute burn I've ever had.
But now food and light have been reduced, and Purple Scoops is looking stressed but ok. Passion Punch suffered only slightly from nute/light burn.
They are starting their 9th week.

They will be just fine believe me.
Here is a pic of a lady who is growing in my tent irregardless of how many errors I give her.
