Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops

"but 600ppm must be way over 1.0ec, nah....... sort it out quickly Minty."

On a 500 scale, 600 ppm would be 1.2 EC

On 700 scale, it would be 0.9 EC

Cheers for that and the chart you posted a bit back, it`s helped me lots.

No problem mate, glad it helped

Once you`ve flushed pots through once theirs no need to do it again, in fact you can give ferts straigvht after flushing at correct EC if you like. But yes cool on doing that, maybe get them back on ferts at 0.7ec (0700US/cm) now Minty and jobs a good en. :)

Still waiting for the previously flush to dry out before feeding etc, but I have moved them down to the lower shelf as a couple were showing signs of light stress and they seem to be loads happier lower down:-

Ignore the seedlings, they are another round of Queens Seeds Royal Dwarf and Easy Bud that I am germinating for a mate to do as he wishes with them ;o)

Shite seems so much easier in Coco.

Between the chart and 2-Scoops 'uk' explanation definitely helped me. Thanks both.

Minty these topping asap, when i say topping i mean just nip out the top highest new shoot between finger and thumb.



You also need to be feeding these every day or at least every 2nd day atmo, don`t worry about shit being too wet or pots too heavy now, it doesn`t apply when growing with coco unlike if ghrowing in soil, you won`t be able to overwater those now they have plenty of roots in coco and clayballs in those small pots and that`s even if you watered x 2 daily, don`t treat it like soil cus its certainly not soil it`s hydro.

Ok mate, that is done:-







I will move to feeding them daily as you suggest.

Jobs a good en that looks good mate. Sound for feeding daily too.

So when are the plans to get them in your autopot system ?

This is all interesting stuff, thanks for sharing

See how they go but looking at potting them up on Friday as I have a day off. Might be before then depending on how they look over the next couple of days.

The problem I have is that the AutPot Res will not have a chiller cooling it so not sure how that is going to work with the current heat in the loft. Is water temperature still a concern when growing in Coco/AutoPots?

Can you relocate the chiller out of the attic somehow and get it going? In a week those things are gonna be big

With a more powerful pump I could relocated the chiller into the airing cupboard beneath the loft but this still leaves the problem of having only one chiller and two Res's. I'm hoping the AutoPot setup won't be so critical with water temps?

My initial plan is to try and cool the loft space as a whole by adding a dedicated intake fan and a detected extract fan mounted to the actual roof tile inlets before T'ing off via ducting to the tents. Not sure how well that will work but it should help.

The heat is my biggest treat at the moment.
