Thanks guys, sorry I should have been more clear I've been top watering and now they are a bit bigger (update imminent) I've switched it on. Basically the pots are flooded at the base constantly and it doesn't seem to go down at all As you say Dilligaf they are ment to dry and release more? If they start to look like they are getting to much I'll switch it off n go back to top watering! Many thanks for the input Dilligaf and Labossanova much appreciated 👍

@CRiSPrGrow, cheers I'll keep an eye on them, just worried that the roots don't get as much oxygen as they would like if they are flooded 24/7

@Cheezy_G, your welcome Happy grows

CRiSPrGrowcommented5 years ago

@Cheezy_G, yeah i had to do a double take on the pics, lol great work so far, it's basically normal for the trays to get flooded, but it's not normal for it to be always flooded, try to make sure the release system is flat in the tray... keep an eye out , there might be a little stress from getting used to the bottom feeding but beyond that looks like you got a great set up cc. @dilligaf

Hey mate, adding air-dome makes sure that the roots are in water that has oxygen. It will help a lot with not over-watering them and drowning them. But roots must be all the way done in your pot and if everything goes as it should it will take around 2 weeks, sometimes around 10 days before that happens. Must hand water until then... I also think the air-dome will help if u hand water to much, at least if u give to much and there is a pool of water it will have oxygen and not drown the plants... I hand watered and over-watered, the domes saved me and dried my medium faster when I turned on the domes.

Hey I posted an solution for you. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions.

@Cheezy_G, The thing about this hobby is we all never stop learning. I have overwatered my fair share of them. Sometimes it's nice to have a fresh set of eyes to check things out.

@Wicked_Stix, many thanks, I'm kicking myself for overwatering them! I'll let them be for two or three days and then lightly water them again. I thought I was pretty safe with coco and perlite mix, that the excess would just run off. I think I will give the other two a wee trim tommorow as there are so many bud sights on them everytime I tuck a leaf its obscuring a bud elsewhere. Once again many thanks for the input cheers.

Not sure if you have watched Mr Canucks grow / from seed to stoned on YouTube but I've learned a lot from watching both of those guys. They both tinker with autoflowers ...

Cheezy_Gcommented5 years ago

@ChristianSmith, cheers! Ill take a look. Been a massive learning curve but I'm getting there, had to do lots of tinkering to the set up!

Wachsemiliancommentedweek 115 years ago

congrats to your harvest😎👍

Cheezy_Gcommentedweek 115 years ago

She's coming down tommorow👍

Cheezy_Gcommentedweek 75 years ago

Removed a few leaves from the Sensi #119 and Critical Kush tonight. Hadn't planned to defoliate but there are hundreds of them so thought it safe to take off a few of the biggest blockers and hopefully not harm them too much. Will see how they respond in the morning after a night's sleep!

Cheezy_Gcommentedweek 65 years ago

Ignore the first 6 pics, they are from last week and cant work out how to remove

Cheezy_Gcommentedweek 55 years ago

That's them started to flower so pumped the lights up to 600w and added 1ml of samuri bloom into the 1ltr of today's water. Just for a laugh I'm collecting the run off and going to give it to my greenhouse tomatoes!
