Day 20 and things are looking a bit darker green. So far the fabric pot plant is growing faster.
Both Berry Bombs look good and so does the Trans Siberian.
Have a bit of a heat wave with temps up to 32C. and dry air. RH often at 30%
Not a fan of faster evaporation as it can concentrates the nutes but no big concern with lots of air circulation and watering down the nutes a bit.

that's my 1st cheap meter and it is close compared to others I have purchased so happy with it. I have tried with and without the air domes and my yields are better with then without although it is not scientifically proven I like the idea of air in the bottom where all that water is. It can only help and standing water tend to turn anaerobic.

Day 27 and a clear leader but not insurmountable is the fabric pot BB. The BB in the plastic actually has larger fan leaves than the one in the fabric pot.
Topped them both 4 days ago and they hardly noticed it. Doing some leaf tucking and will do selective clipping and lst when needed.
The Trans Siberian is supposed to be mostly Indica and have a heavy, strong body stone. She is looking the part and won't be topped.
So far I am happy with the grow. fingers crossed.

They had the 4 fabric auto pot system for $53. I just received a email with a delivery date of the 17th. Hopefully it’s the real deal

Man JDU someone take a swipe at you? You sound a little pissy?

Day 34 and the stretch is on. Well it is now clear that the Berry Bomb in the 5 gallon fabric pot is the easy leader. Both BB's were topped on day 23 and they are looking great. I have to note that the one in the plastic pot is only a 4 gallon but still the difference is large. Trying for 18 to 20 colas each.
The poor little Trans Siberian auto is much slower and smaller. I think it is just a lesser plant due to random chance. Have another seed so will try it in the future and see if we get a faster, larger plant then.
Otherwise temps have been on the higher around 30C and ph steady at 5.7/5.8. RH between 25 and 60% depending if it's day or night and if we had rain or sun.
I am real happy with the topping and training results so far.

Day 41 for the Berry Bomb girls. This auto grow is going much better then my last one.
The one in the fabric pot is huge and crowding the others out. Topped June 3rd. Left 3,4,5th node branches which I tied down and out. Then I clipped out nearly 30 tops to leave only the most promising bud sites. Still will have 25 or so tops. She has stretched 9 inches in 6 days to 20" tall.had to add xtra N & cal/mag to keep the green going due to the heavy feeding and growth.
Did the same training for the BB in the plastic autopot but this one has stayed smaller with far less bud sites. still very happy with the plant.
The Trans Siberian is small and will not produce much although she looks good and the smoke is supposed to be a strong relaxing indica so perfect for the late evening. :wink:
Temps have been 19 to 30C, RH - 38-58%. res steady at 5.7 ph. Full strength Mantis nutes. 850 ppm.

Your plants are looking great man!
I didnt mind the fabric pots when I used them, but before I started quadlining I got plastic pots and drilled holes at the top to secure the branches. Now that i use electrical wire to stake them down, maybe I should go back to fabric. Could be a good experiment for my next grow!
