using up some my older stash..this was from some Sweet Cream Auto from 2020..  also i made some choc chip cookies a couple weeks ago using some Blue Dream Fem from outside grow in 2021...used around an ounce of bud with each mix

So I designed this little one way valve. See I needed a means to remove excess out of the bottom area of my auto pots. This is during the first bit when they a growing roots and not able to self water yet. So I like to remove the excess that some times accumulates under the pot. Most hand pumps that you buy are really over kill.  So I plopped in front of my computer and designed a simple little one way valve.  Printed it and voila a handy little pump.

So these fast ones came out in a day and I wasn't ready for their size. Usually drop them in a peat plug for a little to root. But not these, they are 2 to 3 mm taps. Scramble around for something, came up empty.  So, design a little pot 150mm by 80 and print it. Only need 3 and it will take about 3 hours.They aren't water tight. And won't be any good after 2 or 3 uses. Put them in recycle bin for pop bottles. Or PET bin.                                         .

This grow will be my largest to date, 13 plants. As usual I am running two Mars Hydro TSW2000W leds. Cocoa perlite mix in 5 gallon smart pots.I use the GH line of nutes, Armour Si , Rapid Start and bloom boosters. I use the Coco for Cannabis fertigation technique but am watering by hand for now.  I was using automatic watering until my res. pump took a shit and flooded my grow space. Temp. 72 to 78 deg. F Humidity runs around 45 to 50 Percent. Lights on a 18/6 schedule. PH I keep around 60 to 62   Update 9/14 Change light schedule to 14/10, 3 weeks into flower. I have also added a Mars Hydro TS1000 to the mix.  

So I been having a bit of issue with nutrient lockout. Think I have it solved, dumb old fart thing, but wanted to show some before and after. Now I don't have befores of one set or the after of the other, and if you understand that, well, gonna share? My monkey og and company suffered bad as the other 2 you see in the other pic. After a serious flush, not an easy task with autopots, but doable. I put them on a low ppm transition diet and they revegged and will just finish outside. Shit happens but glad I could save them. Hopefully the other 2 will come around as well

Well its easier to put an album together than post a bunch of pics .

Outside filtered, declorined, etc. If this works out I am going to go this way with my grows even inside. An only water system would be great. Even if I have to add a few nutes later, beats what I do now! Just Pre clean the water, the water sits at 400 ish ppm an 7.0 ish pH filtered. Should be ok what say you dirt farmers, is the pH a concern? I don't think so but I am all ears. Since they can pick and choose nutrients. This is like a dirt grow but bottom feed and only water.  Self filling tank

Here is my LAC been in the fridge still very active. As you see I added in the molasses to keep it fed. Put 300 ml into 10 gals and aerated it over night. Plants are loving it. Here I have used half and still looks like beer, with a molasses like odor.
