Yuzu sour auto. In coco and an autopot.

What's happening growroom.

Completly changed grow technique so I'm back to being a noob.

Have set up the autopot system, but haven't filled the res yet as i am waiting for a couple of taps to come in the post but i'll be hand feeding for a little while anyway. I am also still trying to figure out how to power my water pump as the wire isn't quite long enough.

I gave the clay pebbles a wash and let them soak for a while in some water and cal-mag ph'd to 5.6.
Put the net at the bottom of the pots with about 2inches of clay pebbles on top. I mixed the rest of the clay pebbles with the coco and filled the pots. Haven't ran any water through them yet.

In the left pot will be the focus of this diary.
It is my last bean from my dismal pot noodle attempt lol.

The right pot will be taken by my replacement Amaretto Tarmac bean for the seedstockers auto grow off.
Nutrient wise, i have just got the base canna coco a&b.

I figured i may get used to the basics before getting more adventurous. Unless im missing something. Maybe a little pk books later on but i really haven't a clue. Will be counting on you awesome bunch.
Seeds are in baggies in damp tissue so will update when they're in the pots.

Goodluck bro. I've been using autopots for a couple of years me thinks (around 3 ot 4 grows).

My last couple of diaries were in autppots..I learnt quite a few lessons along the way which I put in my diaries..so it's worth having a scan.

Common failures for me are those taps at the end of my pipe for draining the water out..they leak after a while. I just closed it off on my last grow and stopped draining it. I added silver bullet roots to the res. With a and b just like you.

Previous mistake was not having enough clay pebbles at the bottom, so I made sure they were at least 2 inches above the pot water level so the coco doesn't sit in water.. I mixed pebbles in my canna coco pro plus.

In my res I ran a circulator every 3 or 4 hours to keep things mixed..no air pumps in pots or res.

If you need any tips holler at me.

P3ace and goodluck

leaving feeds for a week is no problem I've left it a lot longer with no problems in the past. You said water, you use nutes with every feed mate you only use plain water when flushing in coco. Re the feed I usually pH at 5.8 to start as it will be higher the next day you just adjust it if needed aim for 6 but there's no need to worry if it's a couple of points out anywhere between 5.8 and 6.2 is ok. Good luck mate

@Wrh that's great thanks.
I did say water but i know you feed all the time in coco i just dont have the terminology down yet lol

Thanks again

Well @Herbalist this is the ultimate system for slackers like us. Sounds as if you have it setup right too. Best piece of advice I can give you is to use 10 full days of top-watering once you transplant. Make sure the roots go deep!
