OG Kush Auto in

Ebb & Flow 2-gallon buckets w/hydroton

Feed 15-minutes cycle every 3 hours

GH Flora series at 1600ppm with Si and Cal-Mag

PH 5.8

6- 300watt LED full-spectrum (not burple)

4 X 4 X 6’8” tent

75F night and 80F daytime

Daytime/nighttime humidity 44% to 50%

6” carbon filter 550 CFM blower

AC Dehumidifier and Humidifier as needed

My 1st grow is going sideways. I wave not figured out a way to tie down for LST I put a Scrog on top but the nodes are so close together there is no room. There is just a huge mass of leaves. I have been trying to expose potential cola sights. I have to face the fact that I haven’t a clue and I’m trying to use common sense. Maybe I’m lacking, but I an also not ready to give up. I have some lead weights on tie-down wire to help pull down the main top I removed the SCroG

Tie them to the sides of the pot. 1600 ppm? You coming out of the gate strong.

Thanks for the heads-up on the ppm. I have heard from other's same concerns. It's a little too late... time for a Res change. Do you think I should drop dowm?

I have a roll of plastic 3/4" pipe hanging strap coming. I have an idea of how to cut fasten it to provide tiedown holes all around. I get a pic of my success or failure.

No experience with autos but 800ish should be a good starting point and go from there. 1200 is usually the top out point. Honestly the best yields I get is usually in the 700-900 ppm (.5 scale) range on DTW. If those are E & F buckets make sure to run nutes from the res once a week from the top down to get rid of any buildup at the water flood level.

Yeah with plastic pots i always just drilled holes around the edges to anchor to. Nice since you can move the pots around vs screening them and don't poke your eye out on a stake.
