Nah. Was way too lazy for the last couple of days. I am just trying to see if i can find and fix all of my current issues for the next grow. Like i said in an earlier post i don’t think that i will even be able to tell at this point if the changes i make are going to change anything noticeably...

Thought i would give an update. Removed some of the dead foliage a few days ago. I have not been checking the reservoir PH or PPM but looked in there and there is some foam on the top. I am thinking i am going to clean the reservoir. I would be taking better care of them but i hate how i put the...

The problem is that I didn’t know what to follow. I think the plants will produce something as the buds are still fattening and the plants still seem to be growing. I believe that a bunch of salts built up at the top because i was feeding way too much. I will have to see if issues appear on my...

Yea I believe that is correct but with the autopot the PH drifts up as it goes through the system so they recommend to keep it at around 5.8 PH to allow for PH drift. I think part of my problem is because i am using promix which has probably used up the dolomite lime and causing more issues.

The bottom of the autopot should not stay full. The way the aqua valve works is by letting the plant drink the water out of the tray and than refilling it when it has drank it up.

Yea i think i may be going way overboard because i saw the recommended PPM for hydro grows on FastBuds website. When i look at the inert soil chart it should be .5 ml per litre while the Remo says 1.85 ml per litre. The hydro chart shows 1 ml per litre so still less. I am not really sure how...

Yea i would love to but unfortunately these are autoflowers and they don’t have a chart for those. I was using FASTBUDS Remo chart but wasn’t sure if i should be using the one for hydroponics because of the autopot but i am thinking i should be using the inert soil chart. They recommend a lot...

So i am looking up some more info and i see a person getting nice plants with 650 PPM at the end of flowering. Their PH is 6.1. Maybe my PPM is to high but people seemed to think he could be feeding more.

You should never top water after the plant is established and system is started and has run for a while. The autopot manufacturer states that the salts build up at the top of the medium and watering from above will cause the salts to wash into the root zone.

They don’t include any mix with autopots. They are a grow system manufacturer and not a medium provider.

I got them in autopots fed with remo nutrients full line and PH is 5.7 in the reservoir. The PPM is around 830 so i feel it might be low.

Hey, i was wondering now that my plant has got worse if anyone can tell me if this is overfed or underfed? Thanks

I am pretty sure it is because i am not following th chart correctly. Underfed and PH way off. With the autopot system the medium stays constantly moist but not overwatered due to the way the valve works. It fills the tray with some water than closes. The plants than drinks the water and once...

Thanks for the suggestion. That is the plan. I am going to try and keep up on it. I always seem to have a problem getting the motivation to actually take care of things. I have left them alone since this post. Kind of nervous to see what is going on in there.

One thing that i have noticed is that there is chunks of stuff floating around in the reservoir. Also there seems to be a sludge like substance. Read that some other people have that problem with the autopot but they say it doesn’t affect anything. I will have to keep on the PPM and PH to see if...

Good to know. Never knew that could make that happen. The water in winnipeg is considered on the low side of moderately hard at 82PPM.

Don’t diss fastbuds info just because i am having issues with PH rising and PPM being low. The PPM was on the lower side when i filled the reservoir with 750 PPM which is my fault and then i am not sure why it got lower while sitting in the reservoir. I created this thread without checking the...

But isn’t that a sign of advanced magnesium deficiency? It seems like it is from what i am reading and seeing.

I am using the fastbuds chart. The reasoning is because it is for autoflowers which the remo chart is not. Also i was told by other autoflower growers that i should try to use fastbuds feed chart. Like i say i am way under with PPM being at 650. They say it should be almost 1000. Also the PH is...
