They should be on at all times , ph and ppm in reservoir staying consistent for how many days ? You have a good ph pen being its hydro and a shit load of water testing ? 50 gallon reservoir right ?

11 days should be more than enough. I will let mine go 3 or 4 days. But your plants are very good sized. I do fill the tray after a day or two to make sure the roots are searching down for water/food.

I thought it refills each pot automatically on its own as the plants used the water and nutrients the water goes down and the float value opens and refill the pot :thinking:, what do you have to turn on ?

You refill the reservoir weekly or when it get to a low level ?

Ive never turned it on yet i barely potted up from 1 gallons 11 days ago!

Now , they have not been using water from the reservoir at all ? Dont tell nobody that cause they dont look like you been watering them . Its time to get that thing full of some ph water for what ph you been using and about 600- 800 ppm and let them babies ladies grow some more .

@NUG61 look at how strong and healthy these babies are growing , with out the tank with water , so its you should be ready and got youre lay out invisioned . I just want to see how big that light will grow with auto pots which the bubblers did they thing , i mean you did a hell of job buddy managing two individual buckets separately .

So i should fill it up and let her lose? @yoshi how many gallons?? And bubblerrs i dont have any ahaha i have an aeromixer and what buckets brotha???

It looks as a 50 gallon right ? @Nicky can you line this out maybe , You shoukd keep the reservoir top off each week . Plus you need to keep thecreservoir to a consistent ph 5.8 - 6.2 each week and you will have to add ppm each week as the plants grows unless you using organic soil in the pots and just plain ph water in the reservoir .

@yoshi its only 25 gallon for them!

Im assuming you transplanted them big girls into the pots. I would have turn them on with immediately considering they probably had a nice size root ball going in.
But no big deal realy, turn them on anytime you want to at this point.

I use GH trio, calmag and h2o2 in my tank and I don’t check ppm at all with my auto pots.
I ph at 5.8 going in and it slowly creeps up to about 6-6.2 over a 8-10 days.
Heres my veg mixture and its alot less them GH suggests but my plants say it’s enough :grin:

I collect rain water and its cold alot of times. I fill up 3-4 gallon jugs of it and put them in my tub in a hot water bath then pour them into the rest to warm it all up before mixing anything in.
