Thanks man, appreciate that. Happy 4-20

Hello mate,

I'm on day 11 with autopots and the babies are goin CRAZY. Watering them every 3-4 days with 500 ml in 60% clay 40% coco makes the roots explode and every next feeding just bursts and bursts with growth.
I was gonna ask how long does your reservoir of 15 L last since you first put airpots on?
Also, how much ppm do you have in the reservoir when you fill it for the first time?

Thanks for sharing knowledge across all your posts m8! I will post some pics soon.

Hey bob, just wait till you turn on the autopots and airdomes then you'll really see some crazy growth... weeks 4-6 typically have the most rapid growth, some plants gain 4-5" a day
I always try to fill up my reservoir just enough to last 5-6 days (which means I rarely ever fill it up completely). This keeps the res fresh and allows for more frequent feeding adjustments. When I first turn on the autopots @ around 3 weeks I fill it up about a 1/3 (or 15L) for my 2-pot system. You'll need to gradually fill it up more as they start drinking more of course but you'll just have to figure that out as the grow progresses... I don't measure ppm (or pH for that matter ) but typically my first fill up is @ 1.5ml/l grow nutes.

Good luck with your grow man.

ahah, not gunna lie.. i saw this last grow.. and i look hard to find a reason not to buy autopot...
lets jsut say i placed order today for the 15l 4 system setup.
i can leave and plants r fed... also.. since i use smart pots.. i will just place them n the autopot w/ no 15l bucket.. so my plants will get feed all day and plenty of oxygen. Cheers thanks for such great results w/ ur experience!

@edit err i readu use ANutes

Hey bro, thanks for the comment... Yeah there's really no reason not to get the autopots

So if I'm understanding you correctly you want to use a smart pot (fabric pot) with the autopot system? I'm not sure that would work since you'd get roots growing out into the tray which would mess with the aquavalves... If you just want more oxygen to your roots get the airdomes, they work better than any smart pot or airpot anyway.

Thanks bro! Yes they def. are a time saver.. no more clean up after watering. Plus plants can feed as much as they want, dont we all love equal oppurtunity!
I don't have roots growing out the bottom of my mesh pots. U might be thinking of airpots. Mine are mesh fabric.
Should work very well.
Cheers!
Many thanks!

@edit Here is article that turned me on to mesh pots n the autopots system. he doesn't even mention it i just see what he is doing : D

Blackberry Harvest - Final
These buds have been in the jars for a few weeks now, just got them weighed up last night. Final weight came in at 128g @62%. Pretty happy with how this one turned out... haven't smoked any yet so I'll have to report back on that but I can say the smell is amazing, definitely a distinct sweet berry smell to them. Should be quite good the vape.

Here's the bud porn

I will give it a try.. and or maybe just make a air ring at bottom of pot for the oxygen. I jsut dont wanna buy airdome if i can get oxy to them n a cheaper/energy efficient way. Im all about energy saving!
I will link a thread once done... i also have 6 CXB3070 3500k BB @1.4mA that are above the autos atm day 9. Autopots will be here n a week.
Cheers

Cool man well interested to see how that works out for you, definitely do a journal if you can. Your setup sounds pretty sweet, seen some great results with those Cree LEDs... Didn't end up finishing my DIY lights for this grow but I'll have my Vero's for next one.

Nice harvest Handbricks,
I see you even got nominated for POM/BOM.
Congrats, hope you win.
You deserve a bonus for helping so many people out with their questions and concerns.
I for one greatly appreciate it.
Starting New thread yet?
I want to be in the front row for that one.
