Thank you @Paul_led / @2-Scoops

I've never used insulation..what type would you recommend...that would save me having to faff about with buying extra pot saucers to put them on?

When I'll be handwatering...I've got a couple of these substrate trays which have lots of holes in them that allow the pot to sit on and drain out excess water. They're 7.50 a pop from.the local grow shop. Any other ideas apart from holding the pot until its completely drained. Worked well for the last soil grows I did, so was thinking of buying a few more whilst handwatering before I turn on the autopot system. Any advice? Thanks in advance

I've never used insulation myself but if its to put pots on to lift of cold floor look at kingspan like Paul mentioned or just use a few lengths of summink like 4 x 2 wood mate.

+1 for overthinking it dude.

Handwater till flip, then give them a good flush through with clean ferts using a cake cooling rack tray thing, sitting them on the bog... and then fire up the system is how I used my old autopots.

Tent was on a concrete floor in the garage and had no issues.

Only issue was I had 2 strains on one res and one of the strains wanted less grub than the other and decided to lock itself out while I was on holiday.

Came home to 1 lovely dark green plant and one bright yellow bugger. :strangling: :lol:

Good luck dude.

Cheers mate. What about winter ..assuming you're in the UK? I have a water heater which I am going to put in the reservoir so at least the nutes are not cold when hitting the roots.

Cake cooling rack...why did i not think of this lol. Saved me some cash there mate.

I really don't care what temp the res is/was, I still mix nutes up in cold water straight out of the tap if my bucket has run dry. Plants don;t seem to mind.

Cake racks from pound shops for the win! :running-around: Just pop it on the seat of the bog and fun the plants through and flush it away.

No worries. :viking:

It looks like there maybe growth coming...but it almost feels like its an in-growing plant like in-growing hair. God knows.
