Im planning an Octopot, Kratky spinoff autofill DIY for my next grow, and could use some advice. This will be my first attempt at Kratky so here's what I'm thinking. 6" Wide lip net pot, in a 5 Gal. fabric pot. Sitting on top of hopefully a 9 gallon Black tote with the yellow checkered lids. Nutes; 50% recommended GH grow and bloom with sweeteners. Water with an auto fill tank. Run it in the Kratky method, No air stone. Medium will be promix/ seasoil/ and 40% Perelite. Here's where the questions start. With transpiration, and an auto fill, do i add my nutes once a week to the 9 Gal tote and auto fill with plain h2o ? Or mix up nutes in the auto fill reservoir and continously feed ? I'm guessing its the tote. Other than N-P-K Would you add dolomite, and if so in the soil or res ? Am I missing anything. Calmag ? True to Kratky, I wasn't planning on draining the tote just topping up. Lighting will be tsl2000
This is the route I'm wanting to explore, so what do you think ?
