Fiz's Autopot Experiment - Spring '23 grow

Hello everyone! I figured since I’m starting a whole new setup it was time to create a new thread for 2023’s grow(s).

I set up my two pot Autopot system today, and rehung my lights. I added a pole fan - sprung for the AC one so it would work with my controller.

Since I have the super hard water problem, I decided to take a chance and not put the carbon filter in until they get to be teenagers and start stinking.

I expect to start sprouting my seeds tomorrow. I am growing a Critical Mass photo so I have a high CBC/medium THC strain to make my husband’s capsules. I’m still playing eenie meenie miney moe as to the other strain, I had planned a Bruce Banner auto. I’ll probably make this a game time decision though since I’m spoiled for wealth of seeds - thanks to @Graysin and @The_Cannabowlist ! I also still have seeds from my two contests, plus some from my original purchase - so many seeds!

@Twelve1 @kaptain3d @merlin44 @M.W.P.P @Newt And I’ll remember to tag others in soon. Not much to see at the moment!

Why thank you! I think this is the best my tent has looked to date. Still need to add one or two humidifiers but no rush.

One suggestion is to set the autopots in a pan or something to catch and stop any possible overflow. I have not had a grow yet where the additional insurance was not needed.
I like to grow in a frame. It is built to use a 18x24x3" dough proofing pan. The pan has saved my bacon several times. It fills to the height of the float which then prevents any more water entering from the reservoir.

Thanks! Great suggestion. I’ll look into it, I haven’t even moistened the coco yet so all’s well here.

Yeah, I have to get out and get a couple of pans. It’s a really good idea, and I’d rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

You’ll need them. Just consult my hardwood floor. :man_facepalming:

Seeing as how I’m a suspenders and a belt type of girl, I’ll be popping out to look for pans tomorrow. Have to go out, I have a doctor’s appointment.

I measured the Autopots to make sure I get a reasonable size.

Oh, and I put my seeds in moist cotton pads to sprout. One Critical Mass photo, one Bruce Banner auto.

I need to mess around with the controller and get it programmed.
