Autos in Auto pot. Unhappy plants ?

**Trex** · 13-12-19, 10:07 PM

Organics though in auto pots maybe something is gummed up at the bottom and can uptake water .

Are your pots light ? Those plants look like they need water something bad

What medium are you growing in?

Deffo feed coming through. Yesterday morning I took the pots
Off the the trays and cleaned out the full res. And
Checked pipes for any blockage. Then filled res back up and checked this afternoon, water back in bottom of trays. I do get a eggy smell of the bottom of pots after a few days? I might change nutes tomorrow ? Go to my local hydro shop and buy something not organic

Are the pots heavy? I used the organic bio bizz with my auto pots. That stuff didnt look good in the res a couple of days after. Could do with a lights off pics. I'd say a watering issue

Is the valve working as it should so that you are getting a proper wet/dry cycle?

Ah! I'm not so sure....

I know that they are supposed to fill to a certain level & then wait for the water to empty... could this be replicated by taking the pots out, filling it & using a sponge to empty to see where it starts to refill?
