Ash these are gonna work so good for you because I know how detailed you are. Your like me and so you’ll Remeber to always double check your floats are set correctly, then check your tent like 6-12hr after any changes to make sure no leaks.
Lastly clean your lines after every grow. Clean reservoir once a month.
No recharge in the Rez or any organics other then fishshit though!

@Nicky Thanks again for your recommendations! Im excited not to hand water again and clean run off and dump it and clean my shop vac every day haha. Definitely going to be working smarter now, not harder.
You know it! First thing I’ll be doing once lights come on is check everything. Second check is usually when I wake up before lights go out. Glad I found someone who’s detail oriented like me. You get me haha.
Sounds good, fishsh!t will be ordered next week!
One thing im thinking about is the pH, so i’ll have to adjust the pH in the res everyday correct?

If your using the 25 gallon Res ph the Rez and your using jacks.
Ph it once a week… I know life’s so hard with autopots hahaha
Top water until leafs reach edge of pot then turn system on.
Cleaning the rez once a month is the biggest pain aside from taking all the lines apart at the end and soaking them in a really strong ph down mix in a 5 gallon bucket to remove all the buildup from inside the lines over 24hr.

@Nicky Do you recommend buying the 25gallon rez right away or should I test the one that it comes with?
I did notice my pH goes up everyday in my rez by the way, you sure once a week will be fine?

The lower the ppm the faster the drift, also the lower quality the PH up/down the faster the drift (again why I only use AN after using 3 other brands)
The smaller the rez the faster the drift.
You can try with thst rezervoir but you’ll be filling it 2 maybe 3 times a week.
The 25 gallon Res is amsixng for 4 plants. Even more so with Jack’s because we don’t change our ratios more then 3 times per grow.
For people changing ratios every week the small Rez is good.
If you have the money I say get the rez if you don’t then try it.
I know the 25 gallon will last your 4 plants 6-9 days at least
If I’m home I’ll PH my rezervoir when it’s at like the last 1/4. But of course I’m never home so they just get a PH once and then my 4-5 plants better suck it up before it goes out of wack because my girl ain’t checking it again lol

You will not be sorry about this purchase.
I estimate plants truly do grow 50+% better in autopots.
I got my pump in the reservoir like Nicky.
But watch out when using Fishshit.
It makes a spongie fish bacteria colony that blocked my autopot valve.
I might just top feed them fishsht and see if the valve still gets coated.

Do you maybe have a fan blowing too strongly over that part of plant?

@Flying-High are you using 2ml per gallon in the reservoirs? I’ve never had the issue you describe.
Damn, dude; plant looks pretty sweet to me. I think you maybe need to smoke a doobie lol.

My bottle of Bloom.City Wild Alaskan Salmon says 30ml per gallon in flowering.
This stuff is chunky when mixed up well.
I did 3 gallons with approximately 100ml and haven’t used it again yet.
The buds on my auto did start another growth spurt after I used it! 
I did the same for all my outdoor plants which all grew the spongie fish colonies in their 2ltr watering bottles.

@Nicky you convinced me, I ended up buying AN pH down and the 25 gallon rez. I guess I’m all set!
@Flying-High I cant wait to see the results! you guys got me pumped.
@dbrn32 I did a couple of days ago, I moved it up though, could it be that?
@Myfriendis410 which one, I want to see it?

Ohh that stuff is THICK yeah I’m talking about fishshit the brand.
Your set ash. Keep. Using your current ph down and just use it till its done but then stick with the an stuff.
You’ll be growing even more trees very soon.

You made a good choice getting the 25 gal rez. I can go through 10 gallons in 2 - 3 days max in flower.
247garden has the size you need for replacements cheap. I think they were in Colorado if I remember right. You can use a 3 gallon soft pot and grow a monster plant so you know. I use 3 gallons now with almost any thing I do in a autopot now. I have 4o of the 5 gallons for these. So will be rolling down a lot of pots to 3 - 4 gallon size in the next grow I do. 
If you are using Jack. I wouldn’t expect any drift. Mine stay stable right to the bottom. I only use Jacks and silica though.

@Not2SureYet Yeah I’m pretty happy I pulled the trigger all at once. Im excited for all the time and effort I’ll be saving. I’ll be using jacks and Agsil 16H Silica. So similar to you and @Nicky however I will be adding MKP for the first 2-3 weeks of flower. I got some from garden tech Nicky, so I’m set on that as well

Update
Week 5 of veg
Temp 20-25c
RH 50-60%
Supercropped the Cookie Haze as it was getting taller than the rest and I wanted to maintain its height to try and achieve an even canopy.
My autopot smart system should be on its way so I’m anticipating installing it within a week or two.
I’ll be vegging them for another 3 weeks then I’ll flip them. I’ll be using MKP come flower along with fishsh!t

If your pots fit in the trays lol… They might not right, most standard fabric are to wide.
Also I don’t know if we are meant to run mkp from flip for 2 weeks or 2 weeks after flip…
Maybe @imSICKkid can answer that I havent seen genie specifically speek to that
