Heavy overwatering by Autopot system during vacation
After 7 days of vacation and my first try of the Autopot system I noticed heaviest overwatering by the autopot. Took them immediately off the system. 3 of 4 plants felt and layed with weak stem on the ground/soil. When you watch the photos: go on (any tips?) or start from scratch

Turning Autopot System on and off ?
On which day after germination would you turn on the Autopot system and stop watering from above? The instructions said 7-10 days, but that wasn't enough for me. Would you turn the Autopot system on and off in the first weeks or leave it on all the time?

Water level probe?
I ordered an auto feed base kit from AC Infinity. It comes with built in water level indicators. Does anyone know where I can get a wireless probe to replace the standard indicator? I can check the levels remotely. Like a low high level indicator or a float? Thanks!

Ideal reservoir temp
What is the ideal reservoir water/nutrient temp? I have a 25g reservoir that is outside. I purchased a heater for it, but what is the perfect temp. My tent holds at 68-72 degree Fahrenheit. I’m assuming similar to the ambient tent temp but thought I’d ask.
