Auto water/nutients
CatT_Tstarted grow question 2 years ago
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.

It sounds to me like you're growing in DWC... and if that is the case (a diary would be MOST helpful here!), you will be WAY overfeeding your plant ... I grow DWC myself and into my 5 gallon bucket only put nutes for 1 gallon... you want to watch the EC levels in your reservoir (bucket) and make sure that measurement is in the proper range... the proper range is going to depend on whether you're growing a photoperiod or autoflowers (again, having a diary to look at would be VERY helpful)... photoperiods can withstand a much higher EC than can autoflowers....
Please start a diary... then, when questions come up, we will have access to as much information as possible and will be better able to help you out!
Good luck...

The problem in plants when I supplying CO2Hello! After adding CO2, I noticed problems on the leaves of my plants. Grow in coco+perlite, water with 1100ppm solution, 1000ppm co2 in air. Drain from the right 1400ppm and 1800 from the right. Is it related to co2 and irrigation system?

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!Week 9

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 scratch

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!
