Or if anyone has a tad bit of experience enough to tell me if there worth it or not.... i have a 2 pot system sitting in the closet thats ive never used... late night shopping frenzies... the wife hates it hahahaha.

I know nothing about autopots.
Still learning to mangle with coco. Lol
"Plants and especially cannabis need most lighting during the flowering stage, so we`ll be using that as an estimate of how much area needs to be covered. A standard LED grow light must use more than 32 watts per square foot of grow space, but for optimum results it should be over 50 watts, up to 80 watts.
Consult with the following bullet points if you need a quick guide for calculating how many watts you need for a given grow area.

I wanted optimum lighting.

- 1 by 1 – 32 watts
- 2 by 2 – 128 watts
- 3 by 3 – 288 watts
- 4 by 4 – 512 watts
- 6 by 6 – 1152 watts

youd be surprised that this happens often in other threads too
I thought about them once but I heard from a grower I highly trust that the water mechanism (the blue things) at the bottom get clogged with coco sometimes. I opted out of using them. Have you heard of blumats? I thought about them too with coco and I opted out as well. Too many mixed reviews. I like running radicle bags and pure coco with a diy drip system. Im cool with it. I have no drippers attached to my 1/4 inch tubing. I run a floraflex manifold and megacrop hasnt clogged my lines once!!
Are you running co2?

Once the ladies get more established in the new home i will start to crank up the wattage a bit...
Today i lst'd the fuck out of my 5 gelato 33 plants. Using 5 gallon fabric pots i poked a small hole along the top side of the pot so i could feed a zip tie through then slowly bring down the lower branches firdt to create a circle then bent the main stalk all the way down to the top of the bag just about...
Was using straight peat before i transplanted into the 5 gallons fabric pots of coco was having horrible deficiencies so i watered with ph 6.5 tap water 4G megacrop 1.25G sweet candy 2 gram cal-mag/epsom mix (DONT MIX THEM IN THE BAG... I WAS STONED AND STUPID...) but the ratio does seem to work well ! Already looking much better then they were... i got extremely busy and neglected the piss out of these plants. I actuslly thought about throwing them away... then i got to smelling and the vegging plants have a very unique sweet skunky aroma so going to try my best to bring them back to health and get a decent harvest out of them. My main goal is to get clones of the keeper phenos ( looking for early finishers!)

Gotcha ! I was wondering what you were talking about on the other post when you stated MKP-65ppm makes sense now.

Thank you both! I'd heard of Adub but hadn't seen such a fine example. From wikileaf: Because it tapers off from stimulation into lethargic sedation, A-Dub is recommended for use later in the day through the early evening.
Would you guys agree with the later in the day/evening thing?

Yeah I heard its a pretty potent strain. I heard shango los got a 30% thc lab test from it. Might make a nice sleep aide for those who cant sleep.Ill let you know how my friends react when they try some LOL.

So is this an all in one nutrient from start to finish or do I need their sweet candy or calmag? I currently use CANNA with my tap water and I ONLY use Canna vega, then Canna flores for flower. That's it. Can I achieve the same or better results with megacrop without buying calmag, PK booster ect?
