nice grow there, just a small tip, those pot trays, tend to allow for excess nute/salt buildup in the lower rootzone area, ive found much less issues with turning those trays upside down to allow free flow of nute/liquid through the bottom of pots, yes its more messy and you would possibly have to have a full tray on the floor to stop it running everywhere i guess? happy growing!

Thank you, I don’t think I can handle the mess.

Ok I’ll try and get one. Thank you
i do not remember the exact percentage of plants that got toxed from auto-intoxication of nutes/salts when i used the pot trays but im thinking around 30%, when i switched earlier this year to free flowing pots with the trays inverted...not 1 plant showed the nute toxicity, fantastic! i was using 70% coco/30% perlite, im outdoors so the liquid can just run onto the ground so no prob with mess indoors,
looking forward to see how your plants develop, great variety there!

I’ve run into calcium issues but I take the blame for not using enough lime ( 1st time user) the other times I just used cal-mag weekly.
I don’t feed during veg and I’ve just recently gave them 1/2 strength after the flip. Tray 100$ not gonna do it lol.

Thank you :)
