New Grower Stepwell organic kit/ Autopots

[Weedman_automagic]

I am reading the new auto flower book by Gardner Jeff right now but may take you up on your offer when I need some more reading. Hey @baked in the bluegrass are you running the normal autopot system with fabric pots? If so what pot will fit?

Heya!
Im not currently using the fab pots but when i did i used 2gal fab pots, i think the brand was vivosun straight off amazon.
They wont fit perfectly but it worked a treat imo and better than the autopot pot that comes with the system, better in regards to more airflow thru the pot, better drying.
Now if you have the autopot xl that tray is already round and can hold a bigger fab pot, but i just used the normal sized autopot tray with the 2gal!

Thanks for the info. Have you heard of a square pot fitting the regular autopot tray? Maybe that would be the ticket?

Im sure you could find one! I hadnt even considered that really, just happened to already have the normal round 2gal pots and crammed it in!
Ill say this tho, in general i bottomfeed all my plants now, i learned that from the autopot.
I do like the fab pots but if you can get an airpot or knockoff, those work even better for that type of bottomfeeding imo

I hope someone is listening. I’ll order 4 square AirPots that will fit nicely into the standard autopot trays. I do like fabric pots. Used them on my first outdoor grow. I asked around about square ones fitting the standard trays but never got a good answer so figured I would run the stock pots for now. I do like the idea of more soil while running a super soil.

Day 21 and 5. Looking good other than a few spots on the Elixer. Anyone know what this is? Sour stomper was stretching so I turned up the light and buried the stem in some soil. The light is about 3/4 of the way turned up on the knob.

And here’s the sour stomper and Fantasmo

Day 24 and 8. Added dry ammendments and EM1 in 2 days ago to the Elixer and Fantasmo. Started LST today. Sour stomper starting to grow at a nice clip.

Day 28 and 12. Turned the autopots on day 27. In true Canadian fashion I put 4 hockey pucks under the sour stomper tray so it doesn’t reach the water yet. Hopefully it’s good to turn on in a few weeks when everyone is gone for Christmas. Today I coul d feel the moisture made it’s way to the top inch of soil in both the Elixer and Fantasmo. The Fantasmo is blowing up. Been playing with the ties daily to keep her down flat. Elixer growing nice but not at the same rate. Sour stomper seems to be going strong.
