You're going to need to involve others... and have absolutely NO expectation of success with this grow, sorry! FIrst of all, your grow is going to need more than just water, will it not?!
Issues pop up unexpectedly that will need to be resolved so you're going to have to rely on whoever you get to help to accurately diagnose problems and treat appropriately... Unfortunately, I had a friend who I relied on to take care of my grow for one week... she diagnosed a toxicity as a deficiency and really messed up one of my plants which never completely recovered.... shit happens....
Good luck...

Blumats and FeedingFor people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?Week 2

Does a bottom feed watering system need to stay wet? Or can it dry out before refilling? And why? Thanks!I'm using the AC Infinity SELF-WATERING FABRIC POT BASE. I don't top feed, so does anyone know if I should let the reservoir dry out? Or, because it's a form of hydroponics, do I make sure to keep water in there all the times? Also, should I keep the nutrients constant? Thanks!Week 5

EC too high and leaf yellowEC 1.45 and some yellow leaf… I adjusted the soup by adding water to it and the new leaves seem to be pretty ok. Otherwise, all other parameters are good. It’s odd bc I followed instructions of the brand (Platinium Hydroponics) and the EC lvl is still kinda high. Suggestions?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Heavy overwatering by Autopot system during vacationAfter 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 scratch2 years ago

Why has my plant slowed down to a trickle in water uptake from the wick bottom feed system?So I have a bottom feed wick system. Works great, but now my plant is dry on the bottom and seems to have slowed down to a trickle of water uptake. What does this mean? The soil is also drying out pretty quickly as well. See Diary for further details. What do I do? Thanks!Week 13

Auto water/nutientsI'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.Feeding. Automatic systems
