AK48 in AutoPots

Right now I'm using the Liquid Earth nutes that came with the autopot kit. It seems to be doing fine but since this is my first real grow I don't know any different. Probably in another week or so I'll be getting to the bottom of my nutes and I'll have to pick some new ones. I'm going to go with whatever my hydro guy suggests.

Since you asked I went and checked my pH. The reservoir is at 6.7 and in each of the trays it's 6.5. I usually start out at 5.9-6.0 when I mix nutes. That's about the same results you're seeing too. Do you have condensation in your reservoir? I have some on the inside walls. My guess is that it might have something to do with that. I really have no idea WTF I'm talking about though haha

most of the boys on here use canna coco as they medium with the auto pots it works out the best from all the medium as far as my research goes.
also do you have a air pump connected in your tank? i have a air pump connected to a air stone, the air stone is sitting bottom of the tank, you will want this to keep you nutrients fresh or they will start to go off after 2 days, in my experience it is better to do your research here on these threads rather then listening to your hydro guy, dont gt me wrong they be right at times but not all the time,

this is one of my pals thred on autopots this will be a good research for you on what you might want to use on ur autopots next

nice one man.

Here's the girls at 6 weeks from starting the seeds. They've grown a lot and the grow space is filling up quickly.


Allegedly of course

After 7 weeks since seed this is the last day of veg. Tonight is the first night of darkness (in Dave Chappelle voice)!

looking good!!!!!!!!!!

After 9 weeks from germination and 12 days into flowering, we're starting to see some buds. The girls are getting big for sure. The #2 and #4 girls are blocking out some of the light the runt of the litter (#3) is getting.

what nutes are you using? and at what rate?

Your ladies are looking beautiful and you have a nice set-up. Can't wait to see those ladies in full bloom.
