Have you done anything with watering yet? I was considering going more automated but as for now I only use gravity.
I ran the same type setup. Just hooked my pump to a bucket at ceiling height with a return so I didn't have to cycle the pump and a waterline from the bottom to feed. My resivour has a bluelab guardian hooked up and 2 air stones so it's always ready.I ran one big photo a couple months ago that I was feeding 4 times a day by the time I finished up. I just dropped a pump down in the bottom of a 15 gallon plastic barrel mixed up my newts 15 Gallons at a time. It ended up last me about three and a half days between filling up barrel. That'll be the basis of my next Auto water when I start setting up my autoflowers.
that's great man. Autos done right are sick. I see a lot skimp on the pots soil and light and the yields show it. I try to use the best of the best. 100-125 per plant from start to finish.Oh yeah, I can see now.
This was a Columbian Gold, took about 6 months yielded 18.2 ounces.
Part of the reason I'm switching to autos is my first real try at it yielded 13.2 zips in less than 3 months.
How do you get it so big?Oh yeah, I can see now.

Hmmm not sure I never ran hydro but I'm running it like coco. Promix is peat but after messing with it id say it's only about 50% the rest is coir, and perlite. Big pots is the only way to extend watering to 24 hours. Plus I feed very heavy, once flowering starts I'm giving them 1600+ ppm daily.How do you get it so big?
@BigSm0 those girls are huge for 12 days....
Are you guys running your medium like hydro
So you start them in final pot I assume? So if treating like coco does that mean you do a good presoak before planting? Then water everyday until run off? Keep pots real moist/wet at all times?Hmmm not sure I never ran hydro but I'm running it like coco. Promix is peat but after messing with it id say it's only about 50% the rest is coir, and perlite.

Yes I just use a rapid rooter cut down though. I feel they are a little to restrictive and I want the little roots to freely penetrate. So I guess it's more like a small cradle.So you start them in final pot I assume? So if treating like coco does that mean you do a good presoak before planting? Then water everyday until run off?
