AutoPot Grow #2

Starting to see daily growth

Day 14 for this girl. Should be ready to be topped in a couple more days. She’s getting big enough that I should be ok turning on the reservoir in another 7-10 days.

Topped this girl today above the 5th node and spread her out a bit. Going to give her a few days to recover then turn the reservoir on

Today is day 24 and she’s starting to show signs of flower. I went ahead and activated the system today. Basically it floods the tray until the float shuts off the water supply, as the water is consumed and the level gets low enough it will refill itself. I’m starting off with 6 gallons ph’d to 5.9 since the level will ride up a little each day, we’ll see how long it takes her to consume this batch. Hopefully it slowly drifts up to 6.2-6.3 before it needs refilled.

This is the smallest size plant I’d feel comfortable activating this system on. It’s a bit of a shock to the plants system to go from dry, airy soil to always damp soil but they thrive once adjusted and it’s cruise control on the grower really. Last plant I grew using this system had me in my grow room less than 5min per day unless the reservoir needed filled.

Two days on the reservoir and she’s thriving. The change in soil conditions didn’t bother this plant one bit.

The ph already went up to 6.4 so I adjusted back down to 6.1. Probably going to order an automatic ph adjuster to keep things regular

Did some training and thinning out this evening

Life getting easier

 

[Smoklahoma]

Hell right!

 

[bboyfromwayback]

24hrs after getting this thing setup and it’s still right where I want it

I have two of them...work like a champ.

 

[Smoklahoma]

They are nice. One thing I noticed that the ph almost stays to consistent at times. My Milwaukee ones are OK, but I should have splurged and got the blue lab.

Did some more training and thinning out today. This plant is super compact with colas and bud sites all bunched up

 

[bboyfromwayback]

One of these days I’ll remember to take a before training pic…hopefully

I see what your saying about how tight the nodes are, well you have done excellent laying them down.

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Thank you! She’s one compact plant. Been flowering over a week now, maybe one day she’ll start to stretch 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lol

 

[bboyfromwayback]

I kinda forgot about posting pics of the Glueberry OG. She’s still doing her thing and healthy but the GSC she’s sharing a tent with has stolen the show

My thoughts on this system….well every single plant I’m currently growing is now in a AutoPot. I have 2 autoflowers on one reservoir that I just added 6 gallons of water to and 5 photos on another reservoir with 20 gallons of water. They’re both controlled by a BlueLab ph controller that keeps the ph exactly where I set it. Tomorrow morning I’m going out of town for a few without a concern for my girls, they’ll all be tended to while I’m gone 👍🏻
