Ahh right i thought you were soft water for some reason, but that explains the gunk in your lines. Defo a wise idea changing your lines out each grown then Wu IMO.

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
Isn't there a magic liquid for this stuff, not the famous calmag one lol
The lines from autopot are deer. Last time I checked I struggled to find an equivalent. After each grow I thoroughly wash the pipework with hot water etc. Including pots and valves.

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
A shit load of cheap plastic or silicon tubing that's right size Wu will do job, im sure it dont have to be made by the auto-pot guys, owt that fits should work ok, the silicon tube is more flexible than the plastic stuff so prolly easier to work with, but take your pick see what you think if ya go that route int it. Id prolly look at modding it to bigger tubing, personally speaking.
Do you have a filter in your water tank what line plugs into at outlet in your tank ? I think these are pretty standard and come with system though
https://www.growell.co.uk/products/ata- ... n-additive which i think is used through out the grow, but not totally sure. Prolly an idea getting some sort of limescale/hard water build up cleaner to clean tubes to do job in between grows
Some long pipe cleaner things for tuff shit that's hard to remove

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
@2-Scoops I think she's either at the end of her phase now. 15 weeks from seed or something ain't right with the system. The tray is never dry but always at the same level, never 100% full as it usually is. The res doesn't seem to be depleting as fast, especially in this heat. Strange. She's certainly dying now. Think I might just have to chop tomorrow

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
I've emptied the r3s and put 10l of plain water.
The tray water level is the same but I don't get it. Has the bottom of the pot stopped absorbing water..because it completely dried out few days ago. Its a propa mind fuck. Anyways I think she is done..any longer and the buds will start dying then it will be nasty.
Harvest later today or tomorrow AM me thinks.

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
Looks cooked big style now, not to worry though cus its coming down. The amount of ferts like 4 to 5ml per ltr you were using with this i dont think id be doing that again, ok their was a reason here. But 3 to 3.5ml a ltr should be more than enough for any plant of Canna A&B and im being generous adding extra half ml extra their, it was just this big fucker was looking hungry, im gonna say it was a bit of a freak

Re: Seedstockers - Sherbet Auto
Yeah man. I'm not really disheartened as I'm grateful I've got this far. It's all the small important lessons along the way. Would you believe, when I first started growing...I wasn't even mixing the nutes in the bucket with a stick, adding ph down and reading it and slinging it into NFT res. Since then I thoroughly mix that shit up. This time I've learnt even more.2-Scoops wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 12:05 pmLooks cooked big style now, not to worry though cus its coming down.

When it's cooked like that, do they stop uptaking water too? Maybe I have some clogging in my valves that's still filling the tray but not as much as before. It's got plain water in now anyways.
In your opinion would you just harvest now or give it another week? If I give it another week I think I'll lose my buds..or there is certainly a risk of that if half the plants looking dead.
