Today's pics.Were you tempted to try FIM'ing as a lower stress alternative? Or have I got that wrong? I've only read very briefly about FIM Vs Top here in RIU and I'm sure there's more to it.
To be honest I've never done either so it's just an experiment really. Seems I haven't done it right either as its not split into to tops. I'll have to retry lol
Hey oilmaker68
Nice to see someone else using autopots here mate
I'll join in for a ride if you don't mind..
I'm using them in combination with biotabs line of products and its been fool proof so far.
I'm five weeks 12/12 now with no signs of nute deficiency or any problem with the girls and they are growing fast..
Also didnt use any hidroton balls at the bottom but I'm in a coco/perlite mix 60/40 and had no problems with over watering..
Never checked my ph or ec and its only water in the res from start to finish..
Removed the smart valves once a month and cleaned them with baking soda and tooth brush, flushed the pipes just to be sure and because I'm bored
There is no fertilizing or watering with this setup
I also use main lining and lst techniques to train my girls and autopots and coco are ideal for that because they recover much faster from topping..
Meet the girls

Thanks mate, all is well. back in employment and kicked some ass so all is good, just didnt have time to update my thread. i will be having a look at your grow as soon as possible matey,
To be honest, i like the chemicals because i dont smoke this stuff lol, i love the idea of mainlining so yeah ill look into that further.Proper jungle you got in there mate
Girls look really healthy..
I clean everything beside eight new colas so the juice only goes to them.. Left the growth last time and they didn't get equal food distribution so they were not even..
This is vegging room right now

And about the biotabs products..
Honestly didn't expect much from reviews i found online but in the end it turned out they work like a charm..
Actually the tabs alone would be shit, but with micorizzha spores, trichoderma bacteria and organic juice it works..
Once the things get going, the root development explodes..
I know its not fully organic but its better than chemical for me
