all in good time bro all in good time
lol i am switching but i dont want to risk switching system and medium at once i nee to go one at a time il switch to auto and if goes ok next move is to coco too many things could go wrong switching system and medium bro but u cud help me out are house and garden line all ok in coco like budxl top booster etc ? if i switched to coco wud i only need to change terra vega an floors for coco a an b ? an the rest of my line still the same ?

 

[Thc247]

and reading that they say there choice of medium is soil 50 perlite 50 an i got lots of soil feed to use up before the switch over

 

[Thc247]

i brought pump and tubes and reducers and splitters and had my setup on timers and i did everything to prevent it but i flooded the room the timers come on and fed the plants and switched off but the fuking thing kept syphoning the tank and emptied 100 litres over the floor lol it was too un re liable i needed summat to be reliable

mate been thinking about ur air domes...u gotta go coco man u will yield with air pumped in ffs I want one now, coco is easy canna a b 4 ml first week flower 5 ml rest bit o calmag bit o pk 9/18 and yer golden and they would love the auto system but get some arstones in the res too imo

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

the mix should i use 50 50 terra professional plus and perlite and do i need the air domes ?
and the bloke in shop give me impression that auto pots are hydro so should i check my res ph for hydro now or soil mate
also i was thinking bcuz they sat in water i would turn system off once a week for 2 days to give dry period but it states don't turn off the system the valve works to give the plants wet and dry cycles should i use hydroton in bottom inch and do i really leave system on 24/7 and wont get over watered also do i still use the soil feeds or should i get hydro feeds ...
didnt think before i brought and now so much thinking thanks for any help

leave em.on 24/7, you need to understand the weight of the dry pots opens the valves under the pot and allows water in til its had its fill and closed off.. Don't let it go dry or they'll starve n dry. Ph your rez aye. Airstones are noisy in the rank. I wouldn't bother. Be careful what nutes you use and watch for the the roots clogging the valves. Other than that they're pretty easy its just gravity fed hydro in essence.

coco and hydroton mix for best

 

[zeddd]

coco and hydroton mix for best

yeah that's what I thought plenty airspace in that mix

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

salt buildup can be a prob with some feeds too

bit like potted plants, stones in the bottom of the pot for easy water uptake. If you get it working its a great system. The valves are clever.

good idea to hand flush a bit of fresh water thru the pots occasionally to prevent the salt build up?

that or a bit h202 like in a dwc res

makes sense man although I hear the cure for the brown slime in dwc is a bit o compost tea...omfg made that shit every day fro 2 years....no not the fukin tea lol mrs will leave cos I turned her bathroom in to a shit milkshake factory

I loved growing organic as a hobby but life changes and this is no fukin hobby these days lol

but they dont put coco in front of soil mate they say we recomend a mix of soil or coco and 40 - 50 percent perlite and ive had sum 1 say soil is better so im on it soil first run and second if they run as supposed too and it goes well il do half soil half coco its sick how u can connect as many pots u want or dislike and its just gravity fed i can run multiple strains still just by having sum small tanks but also have a look at the valves for trays they do also sit in tray it fills same way as single pot but in a tray to feed many pots
