All I have to say is so far, I'm LOVING the Autopots! What a great way to save a bit of work and ensure your plants are getting the right amount of water when they need it, not when you think they need it. Compared to last grow of same strain they are already just over double the size and looking quite healthy! At this rate the tent is gonna be packed! Turned on the Autopots Day 22 from seed and put in 20L of water/nutrient mix. As suggested on many (if not every) forum I read I am going with half the strength that's listed on their feed charts. For now that's keeping it around 1.3 EC but I'm sure will get closer to 2 EC once further into flower. No buildup that I can see or feel on the valves yet, so at least my water is good enough not to have to clean every week. I am using 2ml/l of line cleaner to maintain the system, apparently does not effect PH or the plants šŸ¤ž. Did some light LST on Day 24, lightly bending the top and the upper two branches. Has really helped them fatten out and fill the tent. First time not topping plants, feels weird but want to see the yield on a plant with minimal stress to it. Lights @75% (225w) and 21" from canopy should be about 500 PAR This will be officially the last veg week as they are showing flower half way through week and full on by end of it. Really excited to see where things go in this grow, let the good times roll!

Absolutely beautiful. I am considering autopots, but not being able to flush, or have runoff to check my ppms scares me. I believe I will go with a drip irrigation system. Idk.. it's so hard to chose. I do know that picking up 3g pots to switch to new runoff trays suck. Especially when I got to pick up each one and switch trays 3 or 4 times. Having 10 plants, it takes me literally 2hrs to water and check runoffs.. every single day. there has to be a better way

@Grow_for_Happiness, I thought I had responded to you. Idk why my response isn't showing. Anyways thanks for the response and tips. I really appreciate it. I believe I may try them at some point, but a drain to waste system will be my preferred method for now. Hey bro, it works tho your KILLING IT those ladies are absolutely beautiful šŸ˜

@DoughHead, holy sh*t dude 2 hours a day? I could see how it takes that long but daaaaaamn you've got determination! I went with the Autopots because I was tired of watering every 2 days for 30 minutes a time šŸ˜„ . Also I like the idea of not having to run multiple pumps. While it is true you can't really check the ppm from runoff since there is none, you can flush the plants quite easily. Either have a second reservoir with plain PH water that you just switch to, or empty your reservoir with nutes into bucket(s) and refill with PH water. I had to flush half way through this run when I hit the girls with a high EC a bit too early, and the two reservoir method worked great. If flushing make sure to pull out the pots and let them drain a bit, and also empty the trays before turning on the ph water tap.
