I love those pods, I only use those or rock wool, gotta watch the pH on rockwool though!!! Coco an pods are pH like nothing. Rockwool on the other hand tends to hold on to manufacturing pH fer glass. Weird I know. Clay pellets, I don't use. Too to porous and collect and breed bad shite. Coco or rockwool with DWC is best fer me. Here is a lil bit of my last crop two tents.
Was that auto's
 
I never do auto. I am old guy, 12/12 photo, regular seeds I rather roll the dice. An Auto is a cross between a great strain an a Russian ditch weed. My opinion. So pls take it with a grain of salt.

Many members here have great success with autos, not my cup of tea. Too many things can go wrong an the autos have a limited time. Not very good fer newer grower's in "once again" my opinion. And we know everyone has opinions just like........
 
If something starts going wrong, I have the

A buddy did green crack auto from fast buds that was great.. yea it didn't get 8ft tall but was like 4 feet and produce good buds and yeild
 
After all the input went back Thur my box's and found this in light box's. I'm way too high on light% turned down a little more doing 25% at 2ft

As long as you're roots are already dropping below the the clay pellets you are good. The roots will find the water. If you're roots are stuck in the clay you have to have a drip system. Whole different setup.

Top down watering before the roots hit the water will speed you up a lot. I have a 5ml syringe and every day i visit them i drop it around the rockwool just take the water feom under the dwc.that way the rockwool gets mycos and other benies from dwc i think it has acids and shit for roots speeds up the growth a little.plant can live with no nutes for a few weeks but with low dose of nutes she gets a kick

I buy 10 ml syringes in bulk. One fer each separate nutrient. I have found that the one fer pH needs to be wrapped with packaging tape. The acid dissolves the ink.

So I did the syringes for my ph up/down and I've been use one to feed. I have to top drip system but I shut it off because I thought I soaks and over water them. I even had system on low. So started feeding like amneziahaze way trying to let rockwool die out some and feed twice. But it didn't seem to help. So I came here trying find help. Which I've found alot thanks to all of you.

I have 200 that I bought at auction. A good hack is some stick on velcro on the bottles & syringes. Each bottle gets its own syringe stuck to it. Never mix them up or misplace them πŸ‘ πŸ˜‰
 
You guys use the hydroguard or Southern ag.I seen that alot when I was doing some research last few days. so I just purchased both last night. I kinda wanted to see if I can get them little happier since I probably have the stressed over light or more. Before I try adding something new.. so the tent got water changed out with RO water and better pH. pH 5.8 and 68 temp.got light down 25%. I am going to found a light meter and keep track of that instead growing off what manufacturer says. Maybe can dail in the light for each stage better then just a estimate guide.

dwc still needs to be just under the pot and the air bubbles popping spray the rockwool.
as for hydroguard i dont use it i use tnc mycos that was the cheapest bacteria trichoderma mycos mix i could find

Yea did the same for the dry nutes also and got a pack for up/down. I really didn't want to use same syringe for them since they have the opposite effect.
