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

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?

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!
