Great thread. How's everything looking now?? Are your air stones only in the res or is there something in the pots?

I've been running them for about 2 years. I use Promix HP as my soil, and I put about inch or to of perlite at bottom. I was going to try coco, but I won't be trying it, because the Promix HP works so well. The only nutes I use is Dyna Gro Foliage Pro and Dyna Mag Pro. I also use Dutch Master Gold to keep reservoir and hoses clean. I've never had one clog and I use the small hose.
I did try the Air Domes and the plants I had the air domes in were bigger in veg, but in the end didn't seem to yield any more, so I put them away. I did notice you run your ph higher than I do I run mine from 5.7 to 6.0, but yours look great, and I wouldn't change a thing. Good luck! I'm subbed!

Right then i thought it was about time to Start a Diary and document the progress and methods i use im not at any point claiming to know it all and this aint a place to start a bitch fight all positive comments are welcome just like all genuine questions are welcome .

Ok so first off i will be using an Autopot setup i have had a couple runs already and really like the ease of use and how they work i use canna terra soil and mix with perlite around 50/50 i also add an inch an half of clay pebbles in bottoms of the 15 litre pots in the pots i use airdomes and the clay pebbles almost cover the airdomes in the pots then i fill the pots with the 50/50 mix of canna soil and perlite.


right now im cleaning out the space and the cuttings have just started showing roots so any day now the show will begin

for veg i will be using the following
Superthrive
Stimulator 1 H&G
Terra vega

strains to choose from uk cheese , suicide cheese , royal cheese , zlh , lemon skunk ,

The Autopots are connected to a 450 litre res with an air pump and air stone constantly mixing the water and nutrients and feeding the pots i do use a water timer on my res so i can inplement dry periods when i choose as i think this is a must and really think the autopots should come with these as standard

anyways i will be posting back regular with updates and pictures

noprobs thanks for popping in and contributing !!
yes the tops have a layer of pebbles it serves a dual perpose
1 it slows down the evoperation from the pots this is just a theory tho but seemes to be true
2 i sprey the pebbles with neem oil and that stops knatts laying there larvae in the soil
plus i think it looks better :D

Im using terra in auto pots for my first auto pot grow. Do you find you have to ad PH down everyday. I just switched from unfiltered rain water to treated town water to see if the PH stabilises. Doesn’t seem to make a difference. Other than town water doesn’t have organic sediment
