This was a horrible day. I discovered on February 6th, 2021 that I left Alaskan Thunderfuck off (I have installed individual shutoffs for the autopots, my design, not theirs) after a major valve overflow in the tent. What occurs at times, if you're new to autopots like us, is that you move them and jostle the valve loose and if you don't realize it (I keep lids on), they will leak water slowly and surely all day or night. I caught a leak on January 22nd. Turned all pots off, took all girls out and dried up all the water. Rearranged some, did some defoliating (eek!) and one by one put them all back before lights off! One problem. I left one pot turned off and closed. Alaskan Thunderfuck went 13 days without water. She was put into a dry autopot and was never turned back on until February 6th when I checked it. It was yellowing and I didn't think much because Gelato 33 yellowed and went back to green right before it. Stay tuned to see how she turns out!!!

How do you like the auto pots?
420cannabiscouple
420cannabiscouplecommented4 years ago
I like them. They take a little getting used to when you're used to moving pots around a lot. Did that a little too much in the beginning and caused a few valves to jimmy loose and flood over. Best to keep them in one place as much as possible. I leave the valve covers on to prevent algae and such.

Hey nice plants buddy. How long have you been using auto pots? I just got over two months with my setup and got a flood problem Just wondering if could be the Megacrop building up in the hoses. How are you doing your maintenance if you mind me asking?

420cannabiscouplecommented4 years ago
It is the Mega Crop clogging actually! We discovered this to be the case later on. Prior to that was us moving the pots around too much. We have two 12.9 gal reservoirs so we're going to swap them out occasionally to keep the build up down.

@420cannabiscouple, Well I guess I'll just have to get some. 😃

@NugLife420, I used to think they were way too expensive (like several hundred) but they're actually decently priced. I bought one set of 4 with air domes for $196 (from wegrowbuds.co) where it was $260 directly from AutoPot. Sure beats watering. :)

Hey man great grow. What was your opinion on the autopot system? I was going to set mine up but like the idea of NFT too so not sure which I want to do. Did you use the air dome too?

420cannabiscouplecommented4 years ago
@Sweetspot88, Still running them now, going up to 9 of them. I like them a lot but I'm still dialing them in. I'm still used to growing in fabric pots and we still produce big plants in those too but we're sticking with autopots. We do use air domes in every pot.
