Hi bro thanks for the kind works
What I did was take equal amounts of jacks 10/30/20 and 5/12/26 to equal a 1/3/3 npk
Then just increase till the ppms = 1030 the CB loved it and bulked up but may have been too hot so tonight when I topped off the res I dropped the ppms to 825 ish

Sometime soon, I may send you a dm about your feeding ratio’s and the why at that time. I read both your threads and feel if I can understand why and when like Jet and @ifish were teaching you, I will eventually have grows like you do!!

Hi bro
These are the 6 gallon ones, 6 gallon of soil and 6 gallon Rez they take up some space 18x18 inches with the fabric bag 20 inches tall it’s a bit challenging with a 60 inches tent
With the pro mix I have not had any of those little pests with these Octopots

Water level
There’s 3 different levels when first rooting only fill to first level till roots hit the Rez after that I just fill it up
They drink continuous usually I let them empty the Rez before refill when the plants are young they drink a little slower so a 3/4 of a gallon to a gallon a day there’s a 6 gallon Rez so every 5 or 6 days in the being if she’s a slow feeder only fill to the 2 Nd level also I don’t use an thing that can turn to Alcohol no compost teas or molasses
I was using urban farms it’s got bat guano in it just wasn’t completely happy with it
I feel the jacks is the best way to go so far
Peace
