Soooo this is my first time ever growing an auto plant. I never like them because they didnt produce enough bud and it seemed like all the good seeds where never autos. Wellll i received a free Fruit Automatic seed by Dyna Fem Seeds with my last order, to increase the growth rate and push the bud threshold i figured i would decrease the amount of water and container size, while increasing the amount of air pumped into the bucket. I started with a 2 gal bucket for the first month with 2 5" air rings and 2 5" large air stones. A total of 4 air stones, 2 double air pumps, and a 2 gal container made this auto EXPLODED!!! There was so much aeration from the stones you could literally see it bubbling up through the next pot. Blasting the roots with air and babying this plant for the past month produced what you see here below, this plant is only 31 days old...........I would like to know what everyone thinks about the size because from what ive seen and read, auto flowers DO NOT get this big, and dont forget i still have 30-45 dasy to go. The way this thing is going i wouldnt been suprised if i got 2 1/2-3 oz dried before its all said and done.......photo (1).jpg

I like the idea of really increasing your air supply. Im about to do the same with my powergrower. How much flowering has happened? Its hard to tell from your picture. It has gone into flower right?

Looks good.

IMO you should really wall mount that ballast. Nothing like having an accidental leak flowing towards 120v of amped up goodness ;)

If you have water temp issues wrap the bucket in Reflectix as this will insulate it. Also put this on the lid as well.

If you have bacteria issues in your water a product called Dutch Master Zone is a root sterilizer and prevents pythuim from getting hold (root rot).

I ran this contiously in my rDWC system even when I had a 1/4hp water chiller. Smells real clean and is supposedly a chloramine (diff than chlorine) base.

This pump is bomber, I had the 12 outlet 110L/min pump running 8 buckets and 2 stones in my recirc rez. If you can wallmount your air pumps instead of on the floor. If a power failure happens the water will siphon back into your pump and ruin it.

Too much O2 in the water is kinda like too many blow jobs in a week.....not likely to happen. Peace & be kind
Remember oxygen levels change with temp. The cooler the water the more oxygen it can hold. But to much at a root zone is never going to happen.
