Auto water/nutients
CatT_Tstarted grow question a year 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...

Fertilizer for flowering phaseHi! What should a good fertilizer contain, suitable for the flowering phase? And what could I use if I want to buy it in a hardware store? Or can I just keep using my normal fertilizer, that I also used during the growing phase? Thanks for your help :)Week 8

How important is cannazym in my coco grow?Should I be using something like cannazym in my res. for my coco grow? I notice allot of people don't mention it, but it seems like they would have to clean the tubing pretty regularly without it. I've never grown without it so I really wouldn't know the other side of the coin.Week 8

Problemas de ferilización?Que opinan sobre está carencia/exceso en estás plantas? Ambas tienen 4 semanas y han mostrado esos indicios solo en las hojas viejas, pienso que puede ser déficit de calcio/magnesio, aunque no controlo pH, así que es un factor que también quizás debería considerar. Que opinan?

Watering, what don't I know?Any advice on good watering techniques and organizational tips and tricks for watering. For current and or future grows. I'm aware my pot size selection was way to large for this auto grow. Should I invest in a self watering rig for the future? Less hassle?Week 1

To water or not to water, that is the question. Week 4Hello everyone. Today I've noticed that the leaves of the biggest plant are drooping a little. I think it is due to under watering because the smallest of the 3 is standing firm. The soil seemed to be dry for a whole finger so I watered a little. Could someone please confirm?

Week 2, leaves yellow-ish mottling, pH too high?That's my guess for now. I was going to use Blumat Tropf hooked up to tap but house water seems too basic. Only way I can think of remedying is to hook Blumat Tropf up to reservoir and make sure the water in it is the appropriate pH. Will that be stable?4 years ago

Adding nutrient to autopot aquavalve reservoirI use autopots which bottom feed my plants. I am starting to feed them flower Fuel NPK 1-34-32. Its recommended to be top fed 1.5gs per 3ltrs of water. So my question is, can I add 1.5g to the small reservoir which is located where my aquavalve is instead of top feeding them?

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.
