Is it all 4 pots that soaked or just 1 could it be the vales not shutting properly
they was all soaking wet man even on the top of coco the valves are working properly its my medium i never made it airy enough for the autopots and the cold nights made it even worse im gonna givem another try but with airdomes in pots and a 50/50 mix i think they will be bang on then lol lesson learnt

I had no end of probs when I used the autopots, the theory is sound but there's allsorts of problems you can run into. salt build up and clogged lines, toasted plants and roots in the valve mechanism, I went to airpots instead and had coco all over the shop being lazy and trying to water too quick. that's why i haven't fucked with hydro. I'll have the house flooded and the missus kicking off.

that rdwc of mg's look nice and easy with a control res takes the work out of it instead of doing each bucket separate

Try general hydroponics waterfarms really easy to use and maintain and they grow massive plants with good yeilds they can also be linked together to make a larger system :peace:

aye I've seen some canny impressive recirculating systems. be great if you had plenty space and the res in a different room etc to keep the temp down.

10L pots, I just don't have space for just now but will do shortly. my plants are about 4ft tall in 3L's just now

I've got one sat never been used, I was expecting a small square american style one and ended up with a right massive uk one, the footprint was enormous so i never bothered with it.

Yea it sounds like Maybe they sent you the aquafarm which is the larger version of the water farm it's still definitely worth giving it a shot I don't think you would be disappointed they grow some really nice plants and once you have them dailed in The plants grow so much faster than most mediums

I'm beginning to wish i had done one plant in my 3x3. but I wanted the mix of strains so i'll suffer the struggle for a bit. some of the plants the buds are nearly touching the floor they're way too top heavy for the pots

Give it a try 1 plant in a waterfarm with a bit of training in your space I don't think you'll be disappointed

I'm moving into the loft man, if anything the 3x3 may get used for the hot summer grow but probably go back to being an inconspicuous cupboard.
