    Hi mate

    Get yourself some UV glasses to protect your eyes as well as a pH pen, EC pen, pH down (probably won't need pH up)

    That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

    Theres a few people on here who use autopots and get really good results with them but I've had nothing but problems, tried using them on 2 grows now and had plenty of leaks and root rot both times even with clay pebbles and airdomes. I've unplugged my autopots now part way through my second grow and watering by hand. Ordered 2 wilmas for my next grow. Im not saying don't use them but I'm just saying be careful as I got autopots thinking it would be the easiest way to grow but I was wrong from my experience.

    If your heart is set on autopots have a look at some of dexters diaries he knows what he's doing with autopots https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-foru...topot-and-Coco

    i would prioritise your fan and filter set up, and upgrade to a rhino pro filter and a RVK fan.
    If you are new to this, i would also recommend coco instead og hydro, to start with. By this i mean coco in normal pots, run to waste.
    More forgiving, and easier to use, with equally as good results.
    If you really want to go hydro, i would recommend a DWC or wilma, both easier than autopots IMO.

    youll struggle with heat with a 600 in a 90 x 90,maybe go down to 400 or at least get a dimmable just in case.

    The autopots are excellent, I've been using them for a while now, I use the 27L pots, and love them.

    100% make sure you have an air dome installed in the base of autopot, it really makes a difference, and pythium (root rot) hates the air domes!

    Personally I make sure my plants are nice and stong under cfls in a cupboard then transplate over to the auto pot, 1" / 1"1/2 of clay pebbles, just enough so i leave a 2" 'opening' over the air dome. then I use 60/40 coco/perlite. I leave the air domes off and top feed for at least a week, maybe 2, then switch it to the autopot. I use a very small submersible pump in the res to keep the nutes circulating, smaller the better tho, you dont want the heat from them.

    Oh, make sure the res is out of the grow tent, otherwise it will get way too hot.

    I'd upgrade the extraction as well, and get a dimmable ballast. it better to turn down the fan than have it running at full blast, and the dimmable ballast will make life easy on hot days.

    I'd agree with billybob and say that dwc or even rdwc would be easier.
    I've just gone from soil to rdwc and finding it easy to grow nice plants.
    You have the added risks with autistic of timing and knowing how often and how long to water. In dwc you don't have any if that. Just the need to keep your water cool.

    I've never grown in coco so I can't comment on that.

    Also could you stretch to a 1m tent as it will be tricky to run 600w in there I think.
