Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?
Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?

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

Very low yield. Worth spend nutrients still?
Low yield. Should I keep adding nutrients or will be waste of time and money? 6 weeks autos like this. Will I collect much more if keep with nutrients or should I save money and just water it? Not confident at this point.

Auto water/nutients
I'm new to the game and have a simple question. I have recently set up an auto water system with a 5 gal bucket. I use Fox Farms when I mix it do I add a full 5 gal amount of fertalizer to it when I do it or a reduced amount. I'm growing three plants that are now in flower.

Keeping nutrients longer
I have a simple system with a pump that adds water to my coco pots once every couple of days but the nutrient solution starts separating (making a foam) after a couple of days. Do you have solutions for this problem or nutrient suggestions? I am currently using canna coco a/b.
