Not2sureyet and 4 more Durban thai, 2 more TXL šŸ¤«

@Myfriendis410 Damn, that sounds super efficient. Now im thinking of investing in this for my next grow rather than fabric pots haha. What stops growers from using this if its that efficient?

I see this a lot in big growing facilities. Guess its usefull and less time consuming for all the amount of plants they have in there

@ashhhh There are more in here that use these as well @Nicky, and my brain froze lol I just started using these last grow. It really makes things easier on me. Especially when it is hot out. Plus. I can leave for days now if I want. You can kind of see the pots in here now. Tomorrow I will make sure to show them. There are some good videos showing the set up on youtube as well.
I have been working on the scrog for some of the day. Till it got to hot in there for me. I am getting closer to done in here though.

Beautiful setup, I know myfriendis410 loves working with his hands and you guys live down the street from each other, so you guys must be building your own stuff a lot together! Love it. Id love to check out your youtube channel so i can see more of your setup

@Mote The TXL is a triple XL from Lineage genetics. Can you pm me your addy. I thought I had it. I will get you a few of these. And see what the other was I was going to get to you. @TLC, I look for the coarse stuff. I also get the vermeculite in bags like this. I would guess I am about a 60/40 mix heavier on the coco side.
Normally it is a lot cheaper. But every one seems to be using the cov as an excuse to jack prices up. All my grow stuff cost at least 50% more to buy now :angry: I canā€™t even get more coco bricks right now either. I am glad I keep a good back up.

Gogo autopot team
There has yet to be an autopot section, *cough @dbrn32 @Myfriendis410 @latewood, but there are a couple that use them and more growing every week it seems.
@TDubWilly grows in soil autopots
@Reitus just started using them
And others I can recall the momentā€¦

If your looking at getting the TXL keep in mind the shipping is super slow from lineage genetics right now I waited like way long so order seeds asap. I have yet to grow mine because I want to try them in my area outdoor.

Any questions about APā€™s let me know happy growing.

@Not2SureYet looking good!

Most just post in hydroponic section. Autopots are basically passive hydroponic systems right? I will ask though.

It is a type of hydro but I feel line inside hydro should be an autopot sectionā€¦ Because itā€™s like hydro for newbs but itā€™s epic and easy and the way of the future really.
Until aeroponics gets more popular

Ok, here is a quick up date and my room still being worked on. Both of the reservoirs are in the closet opposite of the seedlings. I forgot about them.

Thanks for the clarification :grin:
New one for me, but they all are, so TXL is this crossā€¦ Northern Lights #5 X Big Bud X Green Crack ?

You and @Myfriendis410 have piqued my interest on the Promix.
Iā€™m in 50/50 Coco/Happy Frog right now but I think the HF might be playing a little havoc,
its still ā€œLoadedā€ afic.
The main reason I dont want to go 100% coco is the more frequent waterings but if I do a 50/50 Coco/ProMix it might be more of a benign combination (w added water retention via the ProMix) that the nutes will dictate what the hell happens and be much more manageable, at least thatā€™s my theory for now. Gotta flush some girls today?
Going to re-read what you guys said about the Vermiculite, all good stuff. How much vermiculite do you add per gallon of medium? approximately :wink:

Great Videos Man! :+1: love the scrog you created, very ingenious :clap: :clap: :clap: and if thatā€™s a disorganized setting Iā€™m in trouble :joy: Love the pizz box reflector too :grin:
Have a great day, keep cool! :v: :partying_face:

I see more water retention with coco. I like Promix HP exactly because it drains so well. If you are looking for less watering you would benefit from these Autopots as well: whichever substrate you use I donā€™t think will matter as much.

Ok, Thank you. I had that backwards then :grin:
Do you find yourself watering more frequently w ProMixHP (as opposed to coco) because it drains so efficiently??

No because coco needs to be watered daily.

Interesting!!! being half in half out I dont know the true qualities of 100% coco.

Thank you again, thats very helpful I assure you :grin:
Will give it a shot, actually cheaper than HF :+1: plus Iā€™ll be needing it soon enough. :wink: :v:
(done been ordered ;o)

I do see faster more vigorous plants in media as opposed to soil and the quirks of the substrate arenā€™t so hard to deal with. Coco is renewable resource; peat is not. If that factors into your purchasing decision.

It doesnt, plus Iā€™ll be doing 50/50 mix or something like it anyway. I remember ProMix from when I first joined the forum but there were so many (in my mind) different types I kind of just skipped it.

Iā€™m excited to try it out, I try to keep an open mind and I just might strike the balance that Iā€™m looking for as far as a mix of both coco/ProMix :+1: Watering daily is not an option, I already spend way too much time on this hobby as it is :joy: Thank you Sir!

I use Pro-Mix Hp and it does a wonderful job, imoā€¦ I water every other day, sometimes I can skip a dayā€¦ :nerd_face:

Iā€™m happy to hear that Kaptain, in regular soil I can do every 4 days, w the mix I got now that 4th day may be a bit of a stretch but Iā€™m just making it to that. Already ordered so time to give it a go w some of the pee wees I got going now are ready for their big girls home. :wink: :v:
