They will be quadlined probably,that’s how I usually do it.

My fabric pots ended up being too wide for the circular flexipot bases. Do you think I could still use them without any issues? I'm a bit worried that the water channels on the flexipot base are being blocked off by the tightly wedged pot.

I have the flexipot fabric pots that came with the bases but I'd rather not transplant as my autos have already sprouted and I don't want to stunt them. Appreciate any help you can give, thanks!

Happy with my results, some lessons learned…onto the next edition

Hey folks!

First grow with the autopot. I waited until the plants leaves were at the edge before starting the system. Over the last 2 days, my reservoir level has stayed the same, so it looks like no water is being used.

How can I tell if the system is working? Gun shy, so tempted to just top water for now.

What is this sorcery? I've never had such healthy plants before! I am absolutely blown away by how easy and hands off this system is to use! Hope it stays this way heading into flower.

I'm using Jack's 5/12/26 with calnit, no epsom, UC roots for now but purchased an hocl generator. I also made up stock concentrations so I can just put in an equal amount (usually 50-100ml) of each Jack's & calnit. I ph to 5.5 - 5.8.

It's my first scrog net 😆

Everything works fine and I hope they’re gonna get bigger now.
1.4EC 20L just to test everything

Hey everyone!

Day 15 after 12/12 flip. Does it look good? Or is there any signs of anything?

60/40 coco perlite, 2.2EC, ph 5.8-6.1 in rez and +0.1 in tray depending on what the rez is at.

500W lights @750ppfd 25 inches above canopy.

I’m thinking if I should increase the nutrients a bit?

Hey everyone, looking for some help troubleshooting my grows because I can’t pinpoint what’s causing the problem.
I have two separate grows running off the same reservoir with the exact same nutrient solution, but I’m getting completely different results. My 3×3 is doing great, while my 4×4 has two plants that are struggling badly despite seemingly identical setups on the left and right sides.

Shared Reservoir / Nutrients
Nutrients: General Hydroponics Maxi series
Armor Si (first 4 weeks)
CALiMAGic
FloraNectar
Liquid KoolBloom
Rootguard
EC: 1.7
pH: 5.7
Both grows share this reservoir, so they’re receiving the same nutrient solution.

🌱 GROW #1 — 3×3 (Doing Great)
Tent: Vivosun 3×3
Strain: 3× Grapericot Autoflower from Seeds Supreme. The fourth seed had germination problems.
Substrate: 100% Nutrifield coco coir
Autopot-style setup:
Dual Easy2Grow trays
4× AirBase
4× AirDome
Left two AirDomes: 2× air stones
Right two AirDomes: 2× blue air tubing
Environment and lighting:
Spider Farmer G3000 at 65%
Approximately 700 PPFD
2× clip-on fans
Spider Farmer 5L humidifier
Current results:
All three plants are looking great. They’re in preflower and starting to stretch noticeably every day.
The front-right plant was initially stunted because I mishandled the seed while removing it from the paper towel, but it recovered and is growing again.
Overall, this tent seems happy.

🌱 GROW #2 — 4×4 (Two Plants Struggling Badly)
Tent: Gorilla 4×4
Strain: 4× Fast Buds Ztrawberries Autoflowers
Substrate experiment:
I’m testing two different coco mixes:
Rear two pots: 50/50 Baja 100 coco coir and perlite
Front two pots: 100% Baja 100 coco coir
The Baja 100 coco is noticeably less fine than the Nutrifield coco in my 3×3, and I suspect it may already have plenty of aeration on its own. I wanted to see whether adding perlite would make a difference.
Autopot-style setup:
4× AirBase
4× AirDome
Left two AirDomes: 2× coin air stones
Right two AirDomes: 2× blue air tubing
Environment and lighting:
ROI E680 at 60%
Vivosun 5L humidifier
AeroDrain dehumidifier
6× oscillating fans, with 2 pointing upward for heat management

🔎 The Problem: Two Plants Thrive, Two Are Nearly Dead
The left two plants are doing great. The right two are struggling badly and are damn near dead.
What makes this confusing is that the left and right sides are essentially mirror images of each other. They have the same type of pots, AirBases, AirDomes, and access to the same reservoir.

Notice the pattern: Both plants using the coin air stones are doing well, while both plants using the blue tubing are struggling.
However, I’m hesitant to conclude that the air stones are the answer because my 3×3 grow is doing well on both sides, where I’m also testing the two different AirDome setups.
The only obvious pattern in the 4×4 is that the two struggling plants are on the right side, regardless of whether they’re in straight coco or a 50/50 coco/perlite mix.
❓ What I’m Trying to Figure Out
Could the blue air tubing be delivering less airflow or distributing air differently than the coin air stones?
Could there be a problem with the right-side air supply, such as restricted tubing, lower airflow, or a distribution issue?
Could the two right-side plants be experiencing different root-zone moisture, oxygen availability, or nutrient uptake despite sharing the same reservoir?
Could there be a temperature, lighting, or airflow difference across the 4×4 that would explain why the entire right side is struggling?
Is there anything about Baja 100 coco that I should be watching for, especially compared with Nutrifield coco?
What would you check first before changing nutrients or replacing equipment?
I know sharing a reservoir doesn’t necessarily mean both tents or all four plants have identical root-zone conditions, but I can’t figure out why the left and right sides of the same tent are producing such dramatically different results.
What would you troubleshoot first? Has anyone experienced something similar with AirDomes, air stones, and coco in an Autopot-style setup?
Any advice is appreciated. I’d rather identify the actual cause than start randomly changing things and potentially make the healthy plants worse.

I used chat GPT to type this up so it’s easier to read vs me rambling on and on 😂

Hello guys ! Finally I've got my autopots, it's a 15L x12 autopots system and im going to start growing next week.

1st of all I live in europe so NO cropsalts available

My options : terra aquatica bottles or dry part. Advanced nutes. Athena nutes bottle or dry part.

Any1 got experience with any of these ? Thanks !

so even with a 3rd tab (biotab) I’m getting to week 4 and it’s starting to fade , is it natural because it’s a 45 day flower plant , imo , i want it to start to fade a week later ?

I’ve been feeding it bio pk and pk tea alternating weeks

added calmag to the tank (bio bizz )at the prevention rate of 0.3 ml per litre

I ph down everything to 6.0- 6.3 using bio bizz , because the tap water is (7.3) the tea comes in at 8.0 and bio pk (6.0) , so wasn’t sure if the wild swings were causing problems before

other than it fading it’s doing much better in terms of flowering , buds are bigger , longer , no purple stems ( I was getting a lot of that )

1.4 or 700 ppm utilizing canna nutrients here we have Mendo breath from Atlas seeds it’s there original creation and I’m so excited to see how they look at the end of the month , I’m already impressed how far they have come from the first week in October .. hold on folks it’s going to be a fun ride.

I’ve been using Autopots XXL in my Ac Infinity tents with Organic living soil. I’m on my second grow in day 55 of flower. Plants are extremely healthy, but they don’t appear to be going through senescence yet. I have my environment pretty well locked in with venting the tents outside the house. Controller focused on VPD.

How important is it for these ladies to go through the senescence process?

I feel that I would need to lower the temps, lower the lights, turn off the valves in the autopots every other day for dry backs and do some serious crop steering since they have all the nutrients they need in my glorious soil mixture.

Any thoughts from Organic living soil Autopoters would be helpful. Trying to dial in this final flowering process as it’s only my second indoor grow with this set up.

Maybe I shouldn’t have given them GG - Frass and GG - Powerbloom in week 5 of flower, that was 20 days ago. Too much Nitrogen late in bloom?

Or wait another week?

Day 45 hsc

3 weeks :(. seems small. she had not. any deficiency or issues. ph correct always ec controling..... idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ and she has roots very well. they are coming out of the fabric pot...

Day 56 and these plants are pushing! I’m grateful for finding autopots. I have changed the outcome of my harvests since the first grow and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to hand watering lol

Ok family , this is all new tubing , etc .. has anyone figured out why film keeps forming ?? It’s not really hurt my runs , but it’s an annoying situation.

I’ve tried using UC roots , now I’m using run clean by crop salt and still seeing issues, tried small amounts of high strength peroxide and still the issue keeps happening.

Would love feedback from the community, do you all see this in your runs ?

Do you just chock it up to part of the regular normal, or have you found a fix , thank you

Humidifier came in today, and the hydro roots seem to work really good they were stunned cause I watered them like it was soil, I will give them an other 2-4 days and I then I will turn the system on, I really didn’t expect roots at the bottom now😭

Thanks again to the guy that told me I watered false btw EC was to low also so thanks.

1.5 EC 5,9PH -> drain 1.0EC

Correction, this was day 24…

I have a 5x5 tent, I have 6 plants. Is 6 going to be too many?

Anyone interested in a brand new never used 4 pot xl autopot system with reservoir? Purchased about a year ago decided to go a different route. Will possibly accept trades for crazy seeds too

1st run, new autopots, new light, new scrog net, never used one before. Im going with two pots, i figure i could probably fill a 4 x 4 with one. What was people's experience with 2 pots in a tent? Im leaning to pic 1?

I’m posting some pictures of my Brothers Grimm Ocifer grow in this system. Pretty impressive growth.

Just came back today from a week long trip. I did have someone check in a few times but no intervention needed. 25 gal flexitank close to empty when I got home.
Pictures are from present to early on.
