I know not many people have used autopots but basically it comes down to a a plant sitting in a bucket of nutes. Supposedly they imitate the wet and dry conditions but I dont ever really see my pots go dry unless I fuck up or the res runs out.
Me being lazy as I am I decided to upgrade the sys size as I believe my plants would prefer 25L to 15L and filling that damn 47L res once a week is annoying in a way. Ive been ordering nutes in the ludicrous size aswell (5 and 10L )
I have a air pump in my reservoirs and one has a water pump that recircs the junk in the tank.
I am lazy to the point where I grab a 100Ml syringe and just give the 47L res 200Ml of coco A B some calmag and liq silicon and ph down. I believe the E C readings were easily 1.8 but I have never had nute burn and I gave this stuff to the plants as soon as they popped over the ground.
Should I push for higher ec? Any tips into my set up? Im getting the 100l res so ill be dumping a ton of nutes and correcting a bad batch will be a catastrophic option. Am I bubbling the autopot res for no reason or does it legit oxygenate the mix? And if autopots are such no brainers why doesnt everyone just dump their plants in a puddle of nutes instead of measuring runoff etc? Thx in advance guys.
