My auto pots should arrive any day . Im really pumped to start a new grow in the auto pot i hope it will make things easier and a larger yield. Have great weekend.

Great
I use Octopots my self
There’s a good deal of peeps here that use auto pots
What nutrient line are you going to use and ( I use jacks I recommend it highly )
What type of soil ?
My
Im going to use Advanced nutrients for coco, 50/50 coco perlite. My tent is 4x4 650 vivisun light / Grow hub controller and 8 "duct fan and 3 circulating fans with humidifier. Im trying to do my home work before i start the grow, so any information will be greatly appreciated.
I struggle keeping my plants happy during veg in the autopots, but during flower its a whole different story. Autopots puts my plants on turbo mode. This round im experimenting with growing in 95% perlite. I start my cuttings out in amended coco loco, ewc, and extra perlite in solo cups. I think next flower run im going to buy a bunch of hydroton and experiment with using that in the autopots. Im still using whats left of my canna coco nutes then might switch to something else in the future. Possibly jacks.
Here is my Deathcoast at 2 weeks in flower.

I just ordered the add on pieces to run 3 reservoirs, 3 tents with autopots.
The airbase in my experience is an absolute necessary (growpito medium) to keep root rot away, not all strains like the wet feet many talk about.
Running Jacks now, much much cleaner than the MegaCrop one part I was trying prior… it made a mess.

I think my main issue with my first couple runs is i wasnt running enough silica. I been doin 5ml silica blast per gallon, and plant structure is much stronger this time around.

A lil while back when I was emailing with the CEO I tried to get a rep to visit, maybe sponsor the forum… he said they had a large reddit partnership and kinda dismissed me. Oh well…
I like the automated watering, once a week vs the every other day chore. Just need to dial things in. Your plants look happy this run bro.

Yea, rhizo is some crazy stuff. I make a cloning / rooting solution out of Rhizo, hormex, calmag, and seaweed extract. It works incredlidble for cloning snips.

Ill 2nd what @GCBudz said. Airbases are an absolute must. I have the airdomes as well. Some people say they work awesome, some say they don’t make a difference. Ill be adding them next grow.
