Pontas queimadasHello my friends, how are you all doing?
I have 3 auto Tutankhamon girls that were planted on the same day.
One of them is much more advanced than the others, but the one that is more advanced started to get burnt tips, only on that plant. They are entering week 9.

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?Week 3

Keeping nutrients longerI 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.Feeding. Automatic systems

Problemas de ferilización?What do you think about this deficiency/excess in these plants? Both are 4 weeks old and have shown those signs only on the old leaves. I think it might be a calcium/magnesium deficiency, although I don't control pH, so that's a factor I should also consider. What do you think?

Would you know of any particular product against worms, and perhaps a product or trick (preferably non-mechanical) to prevent grease films on the surface of the water? THX!

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?Week 5

Mister vs Dripper (Irrigation Solutions)Basically playing around with automatic irrigation ideas (Soil), the plan is to make an array of misters instead of drippers since they wont wet the soil completely unless i use like 4-5 of them for one pot.
Any additional Suggestions or Kontra against that Idea?Other. General questions

Bottom water absorption system cultivationI cultivate a bottom water absorption system in a 25L pot, but I am troubled with EC management every time. Since it is raised with 165w LED light, it is fun to determine the limit that does not burn.
Please tell us when to raise your EC.
