OK guys so I did a test fill up of the rez and let the aquavalves fille up, all worked so I shut off the valve to the rez to see if the plants drink up the water in the trays and the single green cracking drank it up fast! the others did not move. I also seen that in the tray with the 2 plants that the air from the air dome was bubbling big air bubbles out if the bottom. that can't be good...
SO I pulled on the air tubing to move it around down there and got it to stop bubbling after I pulled it up maybe 1-2cm.
The 2 pots still didn't feed and the 1 had drank it 2 times already. so I did a top feed on the 2 pots and vacuumed out that water and hand filled the trays as far as I could without overflow at @Hansbricks recommendation. I hope that I see some progression on bottom feeding from these 2 pots tomorrow . for now the solo green cracking is hooked up to the autopot system

Just came across this......

Did you use clay pellets at the bottom of the pots ..... If so, that may explain no wicking action..... The clay pellets are useless and why they're recommended is..... One of those things....

Yanking the airline..... Rather than moving the airdome, I suspect you may have yanked the airline off the dome...... I would check that when you get access.....
.... but why the concern, the air dome is there to bubble away..... That's how I check system is working, the more bubbling the merrier

hey man thanks for stopping by. Yes I use hydroton at the bottom you can see it in the pictures on the first page I'm pretty much a hundred percent positive that I did not put too much Hydroton in the bottom that would prevent wicking. I believe my problem lies in the Peat that I amended in the coco and it compacted down on top of the air Dome creating almost a pressure seal. Air is going to take the path of least resistance which is down and it's coming up the tray.

Today I gave them both two liters of recharge rhizotonic and cannazyme and vacuumed out the runoff. I will try to refill the trays in two days and see if it's working yet.
The one pot that is working is just gulping water out of the reservoir so at least one of them is working
