Here i grow again fall 2024

Howdy yall. It was a busy summer. But things are slowling down. And it was time to get my garden up and going again. This fall im trying my hand with a couple of autopots. Added 2 extra 100 watt led panels for some help on the sides. These girls have just been above ground for about 10 days now. So far fingers crossed everything is running smoothly.

That is a nice setup. I am just starting my first auto pot grow, beans just popping today. Did you make the trellis stands or buy them, they seem to be a perfect fit with the auto pots? Good luck on your grow👍.

I got the rest of my tank parts in so time to start the water flow on my autopots. They filled up and valves cut them off no leaks or drips so far. Thank you jesus :raised_hands:t3:

This being my first run with autopots. Is this about the right water level they sit at?

About an 1” in the trays, tap your float to make sure it bounces up and down. You can elevate the float at an angle a little when you push it down on the keeper if the level is too low :love_you_gesture:

Mine fill up to the top of the nut that holds water line to valve or close to the top.

The PH drift happens and unavoidable, the Mega Crop does great with the drift in my reservoirs. I’ve learned to mix enough to last a week and typically adjust every 3 days or so. I’ve used wave makers with minimal help but can add heat to reservoir. Mixing 6 gallons or so seems to work best for me :love_you_gesture:

Right on, I’m not familiar with drifts as bad as OP :person_shrugging:t2:
Mine may drift a tenth or 2 every few days.
Now this season will be a learning curve again since I’m switching to MC too :green_heart::metal:t2:
