Second grow dwc to autopotspider farmer self watering system 100% coco

[limp biffskit]

Hi guys, here I am doing my second grow with a total switch from dwc to autopots (spider farmer equivalent). First grow was a success however ran I in to a few problems along the way and was a bit of a headache to maintain for my busy work life. However I am reaping the rewards now either due to the change is system and/or the mass of experience I gained from my first grow.

I've been watching multiple videos including Autopotomus who has pretty much made me switch after seeing the absolute beasts he grows.

So here is my grow as it stands I started my plants in normal plant pots out side while my previous harvest was drying and then transferred to my tent 3 days after sprout once I had trimmed my buds.

I took a risk with my seeds after watching Mr Autopot and fed at 2.0 EC as losing a couple of seeds in a week isn't a huge problem I can always start again.

I am currently at the 13 day mark and they are absolutely massive vs my first grow in dwc currently running 2.2ec and 450ppfd off light. Hope this grow runs much smoother. 26c 80% Rh 5.8ph and 2.0ec on critical Bilbo with air domes in the fabric pots. Here are some photos of my dwc vs autopots day by day equivalents.

Per my sig block, I'm a big believer in "lotsa light" so kudos to you for feeding your plants well ("feed" because light is how a plant makes food; nutrients are how fertilizer companies make money). High light in veg helps ensure a lot of infrastructure for flower.

Something you might want to look into—the spout of the humidifier hose is below the body of the hose. When the vapor from the humidifier condenses, it will drip on the floor (or your plant).

To avoid that, keep the end of the hose higher than the body so that the flows back toward the humidifier. You'll also have to make sure that there are no U-shaped bends in the hose or else water will gather in the bend and will, eventually, block the hose.

It took a while to figure out how to get the hoses set up, but it was just one more thing to not have to muck with once I figured it out.

Cheers brother! Totally! Im just trying to learn along the way and trying to experiment with everything's I've learned from everyone who had given invaluable information to me other the last few months and I can literally see the difference day by day! And thanks for that i was wondering why the tent door was wet.. the instructions on the humidifier said not to put a double "u" bend in the pipe so I have been scratching my head but obviously it explains it once it condenses it drips out of the spout I'll go change the direction of if immediately! The bud looks absolutely fucking massive mate sick grow man!
