Hey Thanks, Here is a bunch of pictures of my setup, this is my first coco grow with the auto watering, im having issues and i think i figured out if was a ph issue and not enough watering or nutes.

Looks like a mag deficiency to me but that's pretty common in coco.

Thanks! It was a lot of playing with PVC. Im waiting on the new bucket company watering rings should make it a lot better

I like Hydrologics filters. Some of the warehouses I worked at used their Evolution 1000 model with UV for water borne pathogens.

I like the way you layed out all the controls. Nice and clean.

Thanks man!, Im going to use the uv steralizer on my new setup

Welcome, brother! Nice setup 😎

Welcome. Nice automation. Looks like pH or root zone issues. Are you allowing slight dry back in the coco at lights off? I say slight because if you allow coco to dry too much and too frequently you’ll experience pH swings in the media.

I’m doing 24 hours of light watering once a day

I’m doing 24 hours of light watering once a day

May ask why 24 and not 18/6? No timer or wanting to slow growth rates down?

I guess that’s how I was taught. I’m assuming 18/6 is better?

 

[BUDFARMA]

Yesterday I had some
Issues. I had my res start siphoning and my sump box foot got stuck. Big clean up. Thinking of running a second sump box as backup.

Welcome to the farm. Tons of people here that are very helpful, and very knowledgeable.

If your plant is receiveing the appropriate DLI during its light cycle (light have adequate intensity) the 18/6 will let the plants rest as well as save you money on your electric bill, as well as run time on your equipment
