Hey Scott, how's it going? Thank you for the very clear instructions on your method! Sounds great/very similar to what I am already used to! :) Will definitely go this route. Do you see any reason I shouldn't run all 5 of my autos then, considering my 90x90x185cm space? In the 10L smart pots I...

tl;dr Would like to start autos w/ paper towel + jiffy pellet or just jiffy pellet -> final pot. Too much stress for auto roots? Hey Automatons, how're they growing? So I just finished my first regular grow and still have about half of my product drying in my drying cabinet. I have 2x Auto...

This is a typical bud from my tallest lady. These black spots have only been getting worse, and it looks like a Manganese deficiency in the late stages, but I'm not sure how to handle it anymore. It's probably 4 weeks from full maturity/bud ripeness, but I don't know if I'm just pouring...

Hello again, sorry I haven't been on in over a fortnight to give y'all some new pics. They are looking all right, although they lost a lot of leaf mass from the flush (lots of fan leaves were consumed). Now they are mostly bud and a few remaining fan leaves, and the bud is looking quite frosty...

I posted new stuff ^^^

Okay, guys, so this is two of them today... My tallest one isn't looking too hot.. I don't know what the hell is going on now :( On Monday I flushed the plants until the water coming out was only 10 ppm higher than the water going in, and pH was in range. All flush water was pH'd between 6.2...

Yeah, I didn't think it would answer your question, but I tossed you the link anyhow. Yeah, I'll update this same thread in a couple days.

I see. I will see if any of the local hydro shops carry similar pots.

For some weeks, ppm goes as high as 900. http://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-DTW_03216am.pdf Okay, will do!

Oh, okay, I see what you mean. Okay, to be quite honest, I have very little headroom and both my smart pots got crazy roots underneath. I wouldn't have enough ProMix for that atm, but it could be looked into...

Yes, I always measure ppm and pH for my soilless 50-50 Promix (peat moss-perlite) + vermiculite mix. Ppm always fall within GH Drain-to-Waste Flora trio schedule's given range. Last watering I think was like 560.

? These girls are in week 3 of flower.

I don't use my regular tap water (unfiltered) because I don't trust my building's pipes (old building). The ppm of regular tap is about 150-170, pH is also lower. The plants drink what I drink.

Hey y'all, something I had not realized: I got mad roots coming out the bottom of my smart pots. How does this change things?
