Next time I will probably make the watering hoses a little longer so I can spread them out a little farther not much just a little. It would be nicer to maybe have some pots that are a little bigger. One thing I will say about this strain is that it is very hardy they should have died when I was trying the coco medium but they didn't. I will definitely grow more pineapple skunk in the future but next time I will be doing a scrog.

looking really good, anything you would change about the system setup, ive been thinking about changing the pots out for fabric pots. only have found one fabric pot that fits tho and its perfectly same size as plastic pot that comes with system. http://dlwholesale.com/product_info.php?products_id=1604

I looked at that link I like the idea of the 5 gallon bag but in the video it didn't look that big. If you go that route let me know what your results are with them.

I thought it was important to note that the hose for the autopot is not precut you cut the hose to the lengths that you want so it is my fault that they weren't cut right.

the pot in the video is a smaller pot, same brand. if you u see the size of the pot in link its 8" wide 11" tall basically the same size as the pot that comes with the autopot system :) i will probably purchase some soon just to check and do like 2 plastic and 2 fabric to see differences

Thinking I might chop in 3 days it will be exactly nine weeks and this is supposed to be a 8 week strain pistols have pretty much receded. I took a small popcorn bud off a lower branch and quick dried it in the microwave took 3 hits off the bowl and I was baked ended up getting baked again off that bowl. And as far as scoping the buds were mostly milky with some amber.

When 12/12 was induced the plants were already showing sex heavily for what its worth. Im pretty excited about harvest I know this is going to be some good bud definitely going in jars for some tender loving curing.

Well the grand take was 9 ounces of bud for the jars and 4 ounces of popcorn bud. There are things I will do different next time I grow this that will increase yield. The smoke is good never the same sometimes diesel and fruity good strong stone but can still function. I will be upgrading from my 400 watt to a 600 watt that will help and next time I will be doing a scrog. This strain Humboldt seeds Pineapple Skunk is a very hardy strain I did everything I could to kill them and they just held up a 5 finger leaf and yelled " FUCK YOU !! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT !!!" I have more beans and I am confident that I can pull way more yield next time.

For me it wont be a problem I have a old shower with drain when it comes to the flush I will just pick up the plants and move them into the shower. I will flush them and let them sit for an hour so most of the water can drain off and just put them back in their stations.Also the autopots are designed to simulate mother nature with a dry period an a wet period that's why there are valves in them.

Its not a good idea to flush autopots, simply there is no need to.
Because the autopots are bottem fed, all the salts rise into the top few inches of your medium, away from roots and harmless. By top feeding your autopots, you are washing the salts into the roots.

Im glad i found a decent autopot section, currently have the 15L kit in a 4x4 600w
Also found from autopot founder that a reservoir air stone is not recomended as it raises the ph.

You have to have air running in the reservoir or els the the nutes will go off in the eatter

Regards to the ph rising simply check and adjust every day

Been using auto pots for years now and love em

Leaving your water to stand over night before adding nutes, will help stabilise the ph better
