So glad to see the plants healthy and thriving on the AutoPots 🙏 Always happy to help a fellow grower out can't wait to see how these girls do!

happy flowering

@Grow_for_Happiness, Thank you for your assessment. I will try to start the autopots again as normal for the two of them and see if it works now. We will know more next week 😬😁

@punktkomma, It may be hard to add air to the bases. My worry would be that with the air so close to the valves it will end up bouncing your floats and causing even more issues, such as the aquavalve not closing and flooding your tent. Have seen it before when people using the airdome have it cranked up too high and causing bubbles. Just looking at your pics again, your plants look pretty healthy this week compared to the last two. Maybe she's finally gotten big enough to handle the Autopot?

@punktkomma, in the past when I've started too early I just shut off the valve for the one plant and let it dry out really well and then restart the Autopot and it worked well. Lose some growth but fixed the problem

Are you using a root control sock (made for fabric pots) or a root control disc/square (made for plastic pots)? I put my root control squares inside my pots, then the airdome with airbase, then my growing medium. Have found in the past if my medium isn't airy enough the plants get over watered as they don't dryback properly.

@Grow_for_Happiness, thank you very much for your message. I am very happy about your help. You are right, it is the control disk that I am using. Then everything is probably ok with that. Unfortunately, I have not used any air domes yet. But I also suspected that it could be due to the aeration. I also got myself a pump a few days ago. I am currently looking for a redneck engineering solution. Would you rather poke a few holes in the substrate and insert perforated hoses or put a hose in the base to bubble the water there? I would be happy to hear your opinion. Thanks and best regards 😊
