Well fella there's more beans if you want a few? The new crosses need a run out too. They haven't been stabilised yet tho so phenos will be a bit varied.
donny i know its a backwards way of doing it as we all know the autopots work on gravity....wooot woot! yeah man i think we're all interested haha, i did keep a few beans but again its going to be bout 6 months afore i can pop them
still having problems with the autopots. 3 are getting water fine but one keeps drying up, im not sure if its the one furthest from the tank or if the tube from the tank to the pot is too long tho that shouldn't matter in theory... my girl says force decreases over distance so ill maybe shorten it. not sure if that applies in a tube full of water probably does. im away this weekend ill dismantle the valve and make sure theres ne shit in it, shorten the tube and if it doesn't graft properly after that. idk
cheers las man, im a bit weary of putting a pump in there. i flood the place more than enough as is, whilst siphoning the nutes off this morning i answered the phone and the bottle overflowed bouta couple of litres all over the fuckin carpet...deffo thinking about the clay balls idea, ive got a bag from a while back i never used, ill give that a whirl next run through. ive got 4 more auto pots coming the morrow so im going to pot the 2 ive just flipped up and get them cracked on for 6 weeks. they'll be the testers tho i hope i've got the issues sorted now with the filter mesh in place. when i checked this morning every pot had water in its base so hop ive got it licked now. i'm sick as fuck of siphoning nuted water into bins.donny i know its a backwards way of doing it as we all know the autopots work on gravity....
i had my autopots plummed up to a small pump which was enough to put the small tubes under pressure delivering the solution evenly to the trays i had set up. the valves would stop the trays filling up completley with the pressure of the pump and u could run the pump on a timer, get a digital and u could have it come on whenever u wanted to fill the trays back up.
i was thinking of doing this but oscar suggested using an inch or 2 of clay balls in the bottom of the pots to stop the roots sitting in the solution all day.....
just a thought bro, u know the score
have a good weekend mate
Is that thing in the bottom left hand corner the bit that splits the hose into 4? When i was using autopots i would've had one cross and one T piece for 4 pots. Also you could try and get a couple of milk crates to stand your res on. Las was right i did use to put clay pebbles in the bottoms of the pots, say the solution is an inch and a half deep i'd put two and a half inches of pebbles in the bottom and i'd put 2 or 3 layers of pebbles in the pots too so the roots would be able to breathe. I don't wanna come off like a smart cunt but i never had any aggro with autopots, i chose em coz i sometimes i would have to stay out with work with no notice and you can go quite a few days without even having to look in the tent with them.

cheers fella! the scrog for sure. there's a tree in there in the pots and 2 in the scrog, im discounting the stunted one its going to be close i think. but the spread of the scrog ones will win.looking smashing as always bro
what u think u get more yield from the small bushy fuckers or the normal trees i'm used 2 seeing in ur rooms?
