Thanks Db, glad you found this new place. I'm feeling much better today, still wobbly on my feet but at least I'm on my feet. I'd like to just pull and hang but I've 2 layers of net that I'm not cutting so I'll have to chop branches and I have to get on it today. Energy levels are low but I still gotta get atter

Wow you got some nice looking plants !!!
Something to be dam proud of there
Thanks you can give your self a pat on the back for a job well done. Its hard not to learn when I read your post even when I try to fight the information some of it had to rub off.
Lovin the pots. I'm going through double the nutes at least over soil but I like the results. I gotta get 2 more for their next run.
It could be just the residue from the chelates
Meaning????....just a waste byproduct? ...Last night 7:50pm I was mixing the last part to my mixture together and the power went out. fk so I left the 3 gallon mix in my big 8 gal mixing pot overnight. This am I added it to the reservoir and It was as clear as when first mixed so it doesn't separate over a 12hr period in the mixing pot but it seems to separate overnight in the reservoir, even with agitation and air stone..........ah....air stone?????
Yeah exactly what i mean… possibly just a byproduct… some nutrients do this. The old mega crop used to and i did notice a tiny bit with the jacks also
I've trimmed up 3 of the AK47 & I've a design flaw in my box of too much air not enough hangers. I need level 2 . It would be great for trees but branches leave 3ft of dead space to the floor. I'll fix something up temp to get me through. I'm almost out of room with only 3 hung...5 to go....somethings gotta give somewhere...
Thanks and yes me too.......its going to linger for a while though, its the kinda hit that makes ya old
GH & Auto Pots have recommended cleaning every 2 weeks maybe for this reason because without the residue there would be no need. I was trying to make up an order from AP for 2 more pots,valves & accessories but it became more expensive than just ordering a new 2pot system with another reservoir. That would allow me a seamless change over with another reservoir making cleaning the pots simpler.
Sweet sounds like thats a much better option

Thanks I give credit to the new pots & light I'm sold on the auto pots, I just placed an order for 2 more pots last night to add onto the 4 in my 3x3. ( I'll then move them into my 5x5 ) The G3000 gives me more control with a better dimmer than my SE3000's and I was able to slowly bring up the power as I increased their feed. I'm at 7.5 weeks now at 8 weeks I'll turn down the light to 80%ish to let them ripen without full intensity. Everything is just so healthy at this age in flower I'm enthused with the pots and their potential for a more consistent healthy grow.
I think its down around 6.00. I've not needed to adjust the ph very much. My water 7.3 then adding nutes brings it down into a 5.8 - 6.2 at 5.8 I'd added ph up to bring it over 6.00. I'm in promix and perlite I think the Pm helps buffer the ph....I've had zero issues with this grow other than maybe a bit over fed with dark green leaves. I'm also getting what Aqua said maybe chelates???? waste byproduct from the interaction of the GH chemicals over time in my reservoir. I get a thin brownish coating on pumps and wires than has no real feel to it. I'm not seeing any deficiencies so its a good possibility of what the sht is. Easy to clean up, without that there'd be little work to do on the system.
I think he has Coco though which has a lower ph requirement......also city water I think. I was afraid about ph issues when I started these things up but I've been good. I pre saturated and soaked the clay balls in 6.00 ph water prior to loading the pots and I've tried to stay around 6 and above even 6.5 at the start with feed....Coco scares me it seems too tempermental
Yes, I kept adjusting it up to full speed. It'll be interesting to see how the air affected the root mass at the end. I've been going 11 weeks in soil, I don't think these will take that long. I'll start looking next week after they pass 8 weeks.
Yes I will do, I ordered 2 more pots but I'll need another pump to extend to 6 pots or I have a big noisy pump with a 6 port manifold . The pump now in use with 4 ports is almost silent, it would be a shame to ruin the quiet with a loud humm or go without 2 and see if there's any difference in growth.
