Caution, this grow diary may be on repeat! Hahaha. I say that because was yet another easy going week. The girls are just packing on weight and starting to put off a strong stank. Actually made me realise was time to change the old carbon filter, got 1 year continual use out of a $60 Vivosun filter, happy with that cost. Had a backup waiting that I picked up 6 months ago, would love to get the refillable filter from AC Infinity next time around but that'll be a year away give or take. Did a res and base clean when refilled the water on Day 58, had been 2 weeks was starting to see signs of mineral buildup. Still going through 32-34L of water a week, but down slightly from last week. Also picked myself up some upgraded leak detectors on sale today from D-Link, they mesh with my other sensors and am really happy with their performance. Just nice to know if you get a leak in the tent from a fitting or stuck valve. I did add a layer of 10mm plastic under the spill tray and support bars, running up the walls right to the vents when I setup this time. Will easily hold the whole res worth of water IF I have issues, but would like to know when it happens rather than be surprised. Well here's to another good week ahead, the finish line is coming up fast!

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.
