Self watering Tray2Grow experiment 👀

[PeaceLove&Buds]

Hello everyone I was happy with a grow using autopots and coco and also learned a lot through trial and error. I’m trying their Tray2Grow which doesn’t need an air base or air dome in the pot, the pot just sits on a capillary mat protected by a root control sheet. I have a 12 gal res on each side of the tent. You can use one big tank but I prefer two because it allows me to adjust feed between them if necessary for age differences in later grows. So if all goes well I won’t be hand watering nor worrying about runoff anymore, just mixing the cocktail. No idea how it’s gonna go but I’ll check in every weekend with an update.

5x5 tent with 4x4 630w light
Currently using GH nutes but switching to Canna A&B next week upon arrival
70/30 coco perlite Royal Gold Tupur mix
3 3gal pots and 1 5gal only because ran out of 3g lol so less than 4gal coco in the bag

Temp is 75 RH 73
Light schedule is 24/0 and DLI is 38
RO water with 5ml/g calmag + feed has EC = 1.8
Started in final pot and started feeding them the day they sprouted. Hand fed until today.
Plants are 6 days old, I only have pics from day 4 and today and put them next to each other to compare.
Fingers crossed!

Here’s the trays and one of the reservoirs

Interested to see how this works out for ya... grassroots and autopots each make a rectangle shaped bed to fit this that should hold around 28 gallons of soil or coco.
