Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops

Using GH Flora Trio with RO water.

Good stuff Minty and i do like the smaller light you have on them atmo. In a few days time when you water again give them some A&B base ferts if ya like around 0.4-0.5 ec or whatever base ferts your using, if your using RO > 0.0ec water. :)

I thought you told me to change the light? This is the bigger one ;o) Well I just got it so they might as well enjoy it as I can now totally control the brightness with this new AB type driver - from 0(off) to 60watts in about .5 increments and it takes about 10 full turns of the potentiometer to get there lol

Got a video update of how they are doing at 8 days old today (counting since they were dropped in a glass of water) so only really 6 days in Cocco:-

I think they are doing alright so far mate - gonna see how I can fit a couple of the Auto Pots into the existing tent this weekend.

Cool Minty . So what fert strength are you feeding as a matter of interest ?

The GH flora 3 part ferts, i think you said they were for soft water yes ?

60watts seems good enough to me as things stand atmo. :)

Yea, using the Flora Trio, So far I have just given them some watered down fert my others are using just to wet them in from in the initial transplant into the Cocoo and it's still damn so going to leave them alone for a little more.

Subbed for this cus I just cohldnt get on with my autopots, never tried just balls though so will be good to watch and learn

[Minty]

Just gave them a week one feed at 80% strength:-



Not sure on the pH value as the batteries ran out so will check tomorrow and adjust.
14th June 9 days old Feed - 80% week one schedule - 363 ppm ? pH

I wouldn`t be using calmag myself, i just can`t see point of it, look on your fert bottles their should be plenty of calcium and magnesium in their, tis your shout though Minty.

I`m not sure what 363ppm is EC wise but i googled it and looked at some charts which say it`s equivalent to anything from 0.5 to 0.7ec dependent upon type of ppm pen your using, but yes that sounds good, just keep an eye on them. Your rocking it up now mate. Cool as .

Yea sorry, mate I am still trying to work out an exact conversion from both the EC sensors I have from PPM to EC. Will try and get this sorted.

I'm using RO Water which is why I am adding CalMag.

all this hydro stuff seems like to much fuckery, its cool you all stick with it

I'm coming around to that way of thinking but to be honest I was just unlucky with the root rot. Once the air con arrives hydro should be much easier in a stable envirnment.
