How do you find the airpots compare to normal pots ? I was thinking about investing in some ?

Im currently using 7.5 litre pots ( All I had at the time) and I am debating the switch to 15 litre air pots or 20 litre round pots. (due to the hight of the air pots I cant go any bigger).

I still cant decide if the cash is worth it, They are more than triple the price of the standard pots and unless I can definately see benefit I dont want to waste the cash.

I think with my space constraints I will be better off in 20 litres rather than 15.

Nice looking plants btw :)

Very nice indeed.

Thanks mate i think it comes down to the type of plant but they do seem to be working well for me, i paid £5 for each of the pots from my local hydro shop which i didnt think was to bad but all depends on how many you are going to use,my last grow i used normal pots to grow easy ryders in 2.5l pots and had 20 in the space that i have 5 in now and got roughly 20g's per plant but theses CM are meant to produce massive yields but not sure about the Auto's i couldnt find hardly anything about them anywhere. But the bigger the pots the bigger the roots which means bigger yield i suppose

Hey mate from the pictures, it looks like they may have gotten nut burnt and there might be a deficiency of magnesium. Also is your grow area hot? just asking from the way the leafs are curled upwards. Hope this helps

I wouldnt of thought it was heat it has never been above 85 in there even a couple of days ago, its only on one of the plants the rest look perfect and its had the same exact treatment as the rest, if it magnesium def i need to get me some cal/mag don't I??

Cheers Tongue, Right went out and got some calmag and will add it next watering and i think you were right about it being a mag def
 
Mate i dont know for certaine but that looks like spider mite mate i had the same thing. And it completely fucks ur garden. When i had them i completely showered mine down, in the shower lol washing under each leaf, the stems... everything! Then i sprayed them with that spray u can get(cant think of the name of it now). Is it spreading across the plant? look under the leaves very very closely, can u see little white spider like things crawling around? I also flushed them all!

Right have some problems i think, after what i thought was a mag def i added cal mag to there feed and the leaves still seem to be yellowing from the bottom which from what ive found it could be a N def but not to sure.
Im using Canna terra flores with a NPK of 2 2 4.
If anyone can help me out with a solution to this problem i will be very grateful.

Or its just the type of plant that does it(but i doubt it) because from all the pics ive seen of the Critical Mass they all looked fucked when there finished with yellowing leaves, but mine still have a good 6 weeks left so pls HELP

I thing it can also be cause by the wrong ph levels of your soil and feeding solution. Give them a flush and ensure your future feed is between 5.6 to 6.2. Only Big Buddha of someone who have got experience growing this strain would be able to tell you the sweet spot for the ph level. How this helps

Yeah could be the problem but my understanding was that Hydro should be a PH of 5.2-5.8 and for soil it should be 6.2-6.8 so i have been doing my PH at 6.5 so fuck knows. Im getting some Canna Mono Nitrogen in a few hours so if it is N def that should sort it out, the only thing is that would to much Nitrogen stop the flowering stage in its progress or should it be ok?? can anyone shed some light on this

5 weeks old today, no more leaves have fallen off since i added Canna Mono Nitrogen and the buds are getting bigger so hopefully i have sorted out the problems the plants were having, the lst'd plant is a Vannila Kush that im practicing lsting for the first time and already smell really nice.
Feeding- Canna Terra Flores, Boost accelerator, Molasses and Canna Mono Nitrogen

6 weeks old today and they have been budding for 26 days still having a bit of trouble with the leaves yellowing and dropping off,ive tried cal mag and didnt seem to do any thing then added Nitrogen and it seems to be slowing down the yellowing of the leaves. About 25% of the pistils have started to brown.
I think they have about 3 weeks left so will give them pk13/14 starting tomorrow and they will get that for a week.
The lsted plant is a Vannila Kush and its my first attempt at lsting and seems to be pretty sweet

7 weeks 3 days and have been budding for 36 days
Ive been away for a week and week 6-7 was there Pk 13/14 week so i had a mate look after them and he did a good job. I have come back to then looking nice and frosty and the buds have swelled up nicely to, all the problems i had with the yellowing leaves i think i have sorted it with the Canna Nitrogen i added,there's still a few yellow leaves but nothing like there was before and as its the last 2 weeks im not going to worry now.
First 3 pic are a lst'd Vanilla Kush which is looking really healthy
