Autopots, coco & perlite - Mr. Nice medicine man

Its up now. Ill edit and make comment soon :)

Edit:
Looking good! Is the runoff water usually brownish? Mine usually is the colour yours is, but it says on my nutrition it doesent cause alot of salt buildup so i guess thats why? :p

By the way, was 6 plants overkill for your space and how long did you veg for? Didnt see it mentioned in the first page :)

Peace!


Double edit:

I saw you veg one week, 3 week flower in small tent and 5 weeks in the big tent.. So my question remains.. How was the space with 6 autopots :)?

They were vegged for some time. I made a lot of clones this autumn, and all survived, so my veg tent has been stuffed. I guess they were 50-60 cm when I started flowering. I have just made new clones, so the next grows will have smaller ladies.

Edit: 6 is perhaps too much in the smallest tent, but are perfect for the 120x120 tent. Since I use both tents during flowering, I must use 6 in both
 
Ah alright then, it will be interesting to se how big my pots will be and how it will work in the growbox with the space, will most likely be fun!

Thanks for the information :)

I think you`re right, normally the nutes build up easier when fed from the top. Because of the
effect from that salts being held up in medium kind of acts like a filter where fed from the top it has to go thru all the topsoil before it reaches the main roots.
While fed from the bottom it comes back out the same way it came in. So the roots can take more precise the nutes they need.
Kind of one step closer to hydro :)
Looks really nice man :)
 
I cant wait to see the finished product ive been looking at the food crop grows done with these and i was blown away i just ordered a 4 pot system it has 4 gallon buckets instead of the 2 gallons that come with the systems u recieved. Grow looks awesome by the way. Please dont hesitate to post more bud porn.

Hi,

Could you please tell us more about how to setup the autopot in a tent? I have a 1mX1m tent and the autopot. Haven't yet set the autopot up. I was considering of poking a hole on the tent close to the ground to get the water tube in.. Have a 100lt foldable reservoir sitting just outside the tent.

I believe you used one of the bottom inlets of the tent but that probably means you need to lift your reservoir even higher. My bottom inlet for the tent is still a good 20cm above ground.

Would help if you could post some pics for that. Thanks a lot!
