No I don't think any issue my trays still look clear aswell, specially for me just running the pump as and when am in the room, its a big pump I worry once res gets so low the water will fountain by the power of pump hahaHey bud they're looking well, fwiw I'd keep the nutrient if the plants look ok, or maybe use it on vegging plants if you suspect there could be some issue besides the dye?
Hey bud, I forgot to add I usually run my pumps 24hrs outside summer, they heat up nutrient so in summer it's worth using a cycle timer to keep nutrient agitated and also prevent overheating it.No I don't think any issue my trays still look clear aswell, specially for me just running the pump as and when am in the room, its a big pump I worry once res gets so low the water will fountain by the power of pump haha

Fwiw I've a piece of hose connected to the pumps so nutrient gets pushed down when the reservoir is running low.
Both are sump feeding pumps they work in as little as 0.5" of nutrient so they don't ever run dry, the amount of nutrient left in the tank is enough to keep them wet/cooled.
Jfc I mentioned canna in relation to calmag idk how but it slipped my mind I'm actually using hydrocrop powder nutrient for this run.
You can finish the plant much much faster with 2 hours light on a day all the way through if you want. The plant will ripen quick time and in week 4 or 5 would probably be done compared to a plant under 12/12 in wk 4-5I can't remember if mentioned I tried 11/13 after putting them to flower?
I vegged in 12-12 then 11/13 after sexing and re potting to flower.
I made some minor changes but it's much the same as previous crops except the 11/13 hrs.
Idk for sure what's responsible until i repeat it but it appears that 11/13 speeds things up.
At 7/8 weeks I've got 2 plants harvested and another 2 that'll be ready anytime soon?

This new to me, never have I had plants looking near ready at wk 7/8 the only major changes I made was changing the timer to 11/13.

I had a feeling that YouTube dude knew his way around a plant.

We call those ones "finickey" lol.....Hey bud, yes I'm using them, this is my 1st full crop with autopots.
It's going well with a few exceptions.

I tried epsom and calmag but it made no odds, it's really odd since it's only 4 plants and all others were fine, they're in the above post?
When calmag and epsom didn't work I ignored them, my thinking was I'll ruin the others trying to correct the problem, it's not been easy but I've managed to pretend they don't exist
sometimes the calculator doesn't tick the calmag box automatically when using the calculator if on a phone....We're u adding all cal mag through flower as on shogun it says not to on there calculator but I been debating hoying sum in my res as think they shoukd be getting sum
That bud does look sound on then although the leafs don't, but I see an American on insta and his leafs always look yellow but the bud looks fire on auto pots
Have you got the standard 2" of clay balls in the base of the pots?Hey bud, I was going to use a big syringe but it's a pain to reach the pots at the back, if i nudged the valve it refills lol.
Yesterday I checked the affected sites to see if they were completely full but one was close to refilling and another was around half way.
For the other pots I lifted the floats so they could fill up then turned it off until this morning then turned it back on and checked them, they appear to be working ok.
Cheers bud
Honestly not my area of knowledge.Does anyone know anyway to upload videos on here thats not via YouTube link?
I tried to upload a vid to YouTube and link it here but the quality was terrible.
I did mate and it wasn't on, I still added the amount it stated in week 4 of veg. Iv just ended my first week of 12/12...sometimes the calculator doesn't tick the calmag box automatically when using the calculator if on a phone....
Doubble check this....
As in brands do you mean? if so I do with a couple of thingsHow many of you guys mix and match nutrients?
I have the airbases in mine but no air donesHave you got the standard 2" of clay balls in the base of the pots?
Not heard of the air bases.I have the airbases in mine but no air dones
These are the air bases to save the need of the hydrotonNot heard of the air bases.
I never used the domes.
The 2" of hydroton is to slow the wicking down so they don't get wet feet.
Least that was the instructions when I bought mine, but that was maybe over 8 year ago at a guess.
Haven't used them for a long long time.
Sweet! That's a mint idea.These are the air bases to save the need of the hydroton
@coreywebster hey bud, yes I've got 2" of perlite in all but 2.
I also used some fibrous coco with a square of capillary matt over it and topped with regular coco and I've another with just coco and wicks out of the bottom of the pot with a square of capillary in the bottom to help distribute nutrient?

When a pot is put inside a 2nd pot it's held just above the high water mark imo its absolutely perfect for a wick set up.

The 2 most affected sites are set up in the recommended way with 2" perlite, however the pots set up with coco and capillary matt are looking well, I'm happy with the capillary in particular it's really convenient to set up and it avoids anything to do with, perlite, hydroton or wet feet.
