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! ![20230401_142108](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/9/8/2981397fb3814bdabb119b9de9d8dcac3304926d.jpeg) @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. ![20230205_133016](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/f/8/bf8e0dc597b933c68853daf464876ef72b6790cb.jpeg) ![IMG_0011](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/1/f/01fab88fcf9a251e506bc5b147cb0998362e4f2e.jpeg) ---

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. ---

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. ---
