Choosing Nutrient Line For Autopots
Hi everyone! I just received an 8‑pot 3.9 Autopot setup that I’ll be trying for the first time. Does anyone have experience running Jack’s, CANNA Coco, or Athena Blended nutrient lines in Autopots? I’m trying to decide which direction to go. I’ll be using a 60/40 coco–perlite mix.
I see that Jack’s has a feed chart specifically for Autopots, which is helpful. I couldn’t find an Autopot‑specific feed chart for Athena or CANNA Coco. My understanding is that I would just need to dial down the EC to something like the ranges below. Athena told me I could follow their standard chart, but everything I’ve read suggests their recommended EC would be too strong and could burn plants in Autopots.
Vegetative phase
Autopot EC: 1.2–1.4
Early flower
Autopot EC: 1.4–1.6
Mid–late flower (W6–W9)
Autopot EC: 1.6–1.8
Also, my understanding is that I should set my reservoir pH about 0.2–0.3 lower than the pH I want in the pots.
If anyone has suggestions or if I’m mistaken about anything above, please point me in the right direction!
