Grow Mediums Trips Try At AutoPots

That's the way, then you have a three week headstart. Also look into 1/4 inch rainbird irrigation tubing for replacing the blue air tubing when it starts to break down. Much cheaper to grab a roll of that then pay the price they want for replacement tubing. The rainbird product is much tougher also and will survive having to be cut out of the roots at the end of harvest.

And while you are putting in an order big enough to get free shipping, grab ten of the yellow silicones that fit into the autovalves. All it takes is having one drop and bounce out of sight while cleaning the valve to stop your grow. I made the mistake of cleaning the valve over an open sink drain and lost one down the drain. Could have been a big problem had I just been making a reservoir change, luckily it was at harvest and I had three weeks before I needed them again.
O shit man! that's wild , thanks for he heads up!!!! I have put them and the root control "disks" on the list, thanks again man:pass:

If you do any outdoor gardening and have roll of weed barrier cloth laying around, just cut some squares the same size as the root control discs and you are set. If not just purchase theirs. Here is what I use.

Anyone looking for a space saving larger res, this is what I came up with. Its a trash can thew same shape as the 12 gallon res and holds 23 gallons. Its only slightly thicker than the stock res, just wider and taller. I have two of them. I bought a 1/2" tap for one, and use the stock filter/line connector for the other. I can run 2 tents or up to 10 pots for a week on one res. And the trashcan is cheap. I use a piece of foam insulation as a cover, just make some air holes in it.

I have a two pot system and now am the owner of two extra pots and airdomes. Three weeks before the current harvest is chopped I will start the other two pots and rotate them into the bases at harvest. I also went with a reservoir for each of the two bases so won't matter what strain I am running in each pot.
 
Still looking great, but How's the Lemonade ?
she's growing, but she is documented in my perpetual log X not in this one haha. I'll get some fresh pics up over in the other log then

:pass::smoking: WOW thats hella sick man, it looks like pink bubble gum with white hairs and black leaves growing from it lol:dancer::vibe:
I really like this smoke too, I've smoked the green pheno but not thenough purple one yet!
 
Hey - we think it could be due to your nutrients are rich in ammonium- urea

Ammonium, lowers pH when converted by bacteria into nitrate and since you are not recirkulation or have a large res-size - plus i guess its in coco you have zero buffer
ergo its properly the conversion of ammonium to nitrate that sends you pH to super low values. Combine that with overwatering and shits loose.

Check out the nitrogen cycle and what ammonium does to pH - you need some thing to buffer it with.
