Flush bottom feedI’m using an autopot (bottom feeding) system. They say not to flush because of the salt buildup. But is the “shock” of those salts bad or is it the salts staying in the bottom what is bad?
In that case if you thoroughly flush (say 50+L in 20L pots) would that solve the problem?Feeding. Automatic systems

AutoPot system: moisture of the medium does not stop increasing if turned onI noticed the moisture of the medium (50% coco, 50% light mix, based on a layer of expanded clay) is getting higher and higher with the AutoPot system (now at ~45%). I stopped it for now. I'm wondering, if that is normal? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions someone?Week 5

Which automatic watering system while travelling for 1-2 weeks (closet tent, 2 plants)?1.) Which specific systems are proven effective and safe (commercial or DIY)?
2.) Will pH change over days if adding pH +/- to a water tank?
3.) Would you leave the plants for 1-2 weeks with the system running (LED, fans, electricity, potential danger of short circuit/fire?)Setup. Other

How important is cannazym in my coco grow?Should I be using something like cannazym in my res. for my coco grow? I notice allot of people don't mention it, but it seems like they would have to clean the tubing pretty regularly without it. I've never grown without it so I really wouldn't know the other side of the coin.Week 8
