After today, we will never put nutrients in our reservoirs. We use self watering systems from auto parts, spider, farmer, and more, and they all fall up and can feel bacteria, specially the spider farmer version. It’s too much maintenance and if you’re away in the nutrients fog up the lines, then it stops feeding your plants. From this day forward will only put water in the reservoir and we’ll feed nutrients Manually by top feeding.
Fed the girl today with all Cronk nutrients plus silica and microbes. Mixed it all into 5 gallons of water at pH 6.4 and poured it into the auto pot reservoir.
We added a trellis net about 14 inches above the pots. It should be 18 inches above the pots but we needed it a little lower so we could utilize it now and start tucking some buds. Prior to this we used some bud clips and plant anchors.
The self watering bases are feeding the plants now and they were less than half full after a couple of days so I refilled the base today with PH 6.4 plain water.
Most leaves were drooping and the top 5 inches of soil was dry so I fed her 500 cc of plain water (pH 6.4) to get her through until their roots reach the self watering basis.
