Auto Pots? How often do you flush…. I had issues with salt buildup unless I flushed once a week… ?

First time using cmh light looks like flowering going to be finished quiker than last time under hps. Same strain.

the last 2-3weeks.

Are you worried about salt build up, hence the lower PPM?

I've been thinking about how to properly flush this system, and it seems like you'd need to do a res change and just run plain water.

I’ve been running autopots for about 5 years now. I don’t really get the salt build up because I top feed through Veg and don’t put them in the system until flower. So it’s basically 8-10 weeks in the system. You can flush them by lifting them out of the autopot tray and top feeding ph’d water, then feed some nutes, then dump the run off out of the try and resume bottom feeding.

 

[Brownthumb]

Yes^^^pain in the ass if you have a bad back… but overall I like the way the autopots work… just need to watch your salt buildup… I’m only working 3-5 plants at a time… so I hand feed and use the autopots for vacations….

 

[Brettdawg]

Never feed high ppm anyways.
But yh 650ppm no tip birn at all everyfing sound.
As for fluah i yaper down nutes week 7-8. Then fill rez with jus plain water. Does the trik nice fade
