Grow Mediums White Crack and AutoPots

Those are looking solid. I actually just got the same autopot setup. I noticed the lines going into the aquavalves are smaller the mine though. Are those the new aquavalve5s?
 
I love the clean installation and 5x5 space. Makes me jealous in comparison to my 2x4...

Keep up the great work, I think you are headed to a really nice grow. :pighug:

Looks like Auqavavle4 with custom tubing and inline taps which is probably not a bad idea. I have the 2 pot XL system, it came with like 5ft of 3/8 tubing and the Aquavave5's. I ended up having to buy more tubing due to the distance from my reservoir. My taps also have a slight leak, but thankfully Autopot is sending me two new ones for free.

I'll have to start tracking my grow on AFN soon, it's my first so there could be a lot to learn and share!

Year old system, before the new aqua valves.

I bought the 9 site XL fabric pot kit. The kit is about a year old, 9 plants were too many in my 5x5 so I toned it done a notch this time.
 
Day 38 | 76-ish F | 60% RH | Lights = 150w each @ 32" = 20,000 Lux/291 PPFD

Nutrients:

Cali-Magic = 200 PPM
Dyna_Gro Bloom = 400 PPM
Drip Clean = 0.4 ml per Gallon

Been a busy couple weeks and haven't had a lot of time to tend to the girls. Changed nutes to bloom, probably too early based on the reaction I got. They yellowed up from the bottom really quick, could be pH, could be lack of N, could be lack of O to the roots. They were a little droopy as well.

I was discouraged and did not take pics, most definitely should have. Couldn't get time to flush soon enough so it progressed further than I am comfortable with. Finally got to it today and they seem a little happier. Did some defoliation during the flush to increase airflow and light penetration.

Pretty sure the stretch got stunted so not much growth in the past 10 days but we shall see how they recover.

With all the mishaps these ladies do really have excited me for you. Good job just overcoming. Sometimes growing throws a curve ball at us. hopefully it's all resolved as the fun is really about to begin with the frost.Have you grown these before? Many autos grown few excite me as much as this one. Amazing concentrate producer. There is a smaller pheno so you may be noticing that in the middle if same age. Looking forward to the next update

It is always something... This run was going so well the issue really bothered me this time. Oh well, move on!

I have not grown White crack but have grown dozens of Mephisto girls at this point. Only my second grow with both coco and Autopots. All my experience has come from soil.
 
We have a bunch of similarities. I just started my first coco grow in autopots coming from soil also. Any tips? Don't get discouraged looks like you'll still get a decent harvest maybe the yield will be impacted a little but your girls are happy looking. White crack is some fire bud too!!
 
Day 43 | 76-ish F | 60% RH | Lights = 150w each @ 32" = 20,000 Lux/291 PPFD

Nutrients:

Cali-Magic = 200 PPM
Dyna_Gro Bloom = 450 PPM
Drip Clean = 0.4 ml per Gallon

The flush seemed to go well but did not fix the issue. the yellowing has progressed and lower leaves have a little necrosis.

The issue is more prevalent in the bigger plants maybe they are just hungry. I have increased feed by 50 PPM's to start with only a little burnt tips. If they take it well I will increase a little again when the res goes down.

Possible chance of root rot? I had a little brown slime in my res as well.

I feel bad for these girls.
