So it does get kindve time consuming. My only thing about using autopots. You only have one res correct? And I usually run at least 5 different strains at the same time. Some strains may need as much as strain c but strain d needs 3 times the amount. You know what I mean. So what do you do in that case? Or do you usually run clones of the same..
And the other big thing is I really dont have alot of free time. I have two small kids. So I cant be checking ph constantly with hydro or the like. I'd love to try it tho bc I love hempy pots

Edit: right on tyvm for the links. Those mats seem cool as shit.

It's not hydro and that is the beauty of it man. You grow in 100% water only soil. There is never a deficiency or a over fertilization. The plants eat and drink exactly what they need and they always have access to water so you can watch the growth rate increase...You can order multiple small autopot res's and set ups or whatever. I run multiple 60 gallon res's for my plants. I use capillary and autopots. I like both systems. This is the best KISS system out there period. When you start dealing with huge amounts of plants you don't have time for all the bullshit. If you have kids and are running small amounts you don't have time for the bs either. Tents make your situation a little more tricky. Water pulse put out a new product not too long ago called a pallet mat. Basically a cap mat with out all the extras but you do manually water. The thing about though is you water all plants at once. Pour it right into the mat all the plants will drink what they need. They call it a pallet mat because that is how most major growers use it. They pop it ontop of a wooden pallet.

I had big guys ask me for years how I run so many seeds and different varieties with all of them looking perfect. Organics and cap mats are how. Every plant and strain is different. Only time I would ever go back to hydro or coco is if I toned things down and only ran clones I knew...Don't get me wrong coco and hydro have incredible growth speed and yield, but damn man peace of mind and free time (or the option to run more plants than you could dream of) are golden.

I don't want to start a hydro vs organic argument but to me hydro is all about $ and you are the customer.

PS the flexitank pros are what you want. The main reason I bought them was for the collapsible aspect and portability...Sometimes you gotta move and move quick ya know? Storage space is always limited.

I didnt read that far into the autopots once I figured out water. I thought they were hydro. I get it now tho. I'm reading the entire page(s) I have a general hydro setup. The waterfarm. Complete kit but I've nvr opened it. Bc of the ph n what not. Res temps and all that. It takes 10 mins to feed all my tents. So I'm in out pretty quick which is handy bc my kids are 5 and 3. And nosey as shit lol. Where's dad. I go to the store alot lol. I think I may try the autopots out tho. They have small single bucket setup to get my feet wet so to speak. Which then can be added to fairly cheap. They also look easy to make one from DIY. I'm pretty handy. But I may buy one to have it in hand to make the next or add on. And as far as hydro being a money game. I agree a million percent. All those additives and boosters and washes and this n that. Its unreal. And all unnecessary. I appreciate you explaining it out. As long as the wife doesnt shit to bed over me buying it. I kindve spent 475 bucks on beans without telling her first. So I'm kinda in the dog house. But she grows too. So I use that as an excuse and tell her she gets half the beans. Lol. But she wants to run coco next in her tent. I jus refuse to mess with it. And she wants do organics. I said if you wanna do coco organics you have to get rid of the kids. She said well pack yours and the kids shit. Lol

Edit: by the way I think i accidentally gave the link to growers mats for the water pulse you want the retail mats most likely.

LOL. Yeah man I can leave my plants alone for weeks at a time if need be...I don't ever do that though and don't recommend it. My main thing now is really using the autopot res's with water pulse mats. Autopots are awesome and work great but for many situations I need less tubing and things. There is more than one way to skin a cat too.

Use autopot res's + easy2go hook up.

Build 8'x24' foot rectangle with 2x4's. Insert pond liner or save money and use thinner plastic 6 mil or so you use for vapor barriers and stuff under homes. Put some hydro rocks or some wicking thing on bottom of fabric pots so soil isnt sitting water just wicking. Put them in rectangle turn on water valve. Pay for children's college.

Can also make felt lines that you sew into fabric pots and goes from top of pot down to water below. Wicks water to your plant while it sits on a grate above. This saves you from roots growing out of pots into water.

Green algae will grow makes shit slippery when not using a grate. Can also use shade screen so algae doesnt grow. Also leaves and debris can be a bitch falling down into watering rectangle.

Cap mats are great by the way...just require electricity and reliance on timer. but for me this works much better things stay much cleaner. Don't have to walk in water don't have algae growth et cetera, Using the full autopot system obviously saves you from some of the other issues but this can help you start on lower budget.

Yeah alot people say they have tmv and its thrips. Bc they look very very similar.

While this is not TMV but im sure its some kind of "mosaic virus" that is spreading to the grass below it. The plant is not directly on top of the grass. Its on a cinderblock. The runoff is carrying the "mosaic virus." Thrip damage and a "mosaic virus" are completely different.

Yeah I meant broad mites. Not thrips. My bad. Tmv and broadmites damage looks similar. Thanks for pointing that out. It wont let me edit it now.

I'd be careful if you have anything else growing. After touching it. I'd make sure you use hand sanitizer. They say 10% Clorox rinse will kill it. Bc mosiac viruses can live in dead leaves that have fallen, any sap and or perspiration. Hope it doesnt ruin your grow man. Good luck.

Anyone have experience with gunslinger?

One of my favs from Gps. Not a ton of stretch, dense flowers, very frosty. Some have found cherry terps, but mine have been more stardawg, lemony cleaning product. I popped 6 seeds and found very minor differences, mostly in structure. Some were single cola dominate and others branched more. I was impressed enough to grab a second pack before they were gone.

Right now Gunslinger and Purple Badlands hold the top spots for Gps gear in my garden.

I was lucky and got purple badlands for 27 shipped yesterday in auction. Blueberry is one of my fav strains for relaxing so I really am looking forward to it. Surprised I didn't swoop it earlier, didn't know Flo was similar to Blueberry.

Thought my 2 tiny Butch Cassidy would go about 8 or 9 grams each.....surprise,16.4 and 16.7 dry. These were marvelous in veg until topping at which point they stopped growing both greens and roots. Will run agin without topping.

Way strong herb and seems quite immobilizing at times. Extremely dense buds. Earthy and almost skunky or garlic aroma today.
