Great smoke though huh? Shit cooks me but I’m out shortly afterwards

I'll find out in a few months! That poor thing I tried to grow only yielded one larfy nug. I'll be looking forward to having some good PK for sleep then. For now, I've got Kosher Kush and Blueberry when they finally dry out properly.

Not even through the first week of 12/12 and she’s already grown over 4”. The White Widow has pretty much filled the screen already. Im not used to this look, girls looking lonely to me 😂

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Added two Purple Kush to the 2x4 and had the room so I removed the 18”x18” screen and put a 22”x24” down. 24” wide buckled when I zipped the tent.

The GG has grown a little over 10” on average since flip. I readjusted the bindings yesterday and pulled her down to spread her out as much as possible to lower the canopy some. Those mains on the outside are hard and woody but I got her down a little.
Never had roots grow through a fabric pot before. I just prune them off so they don’t affect the AutoPot valve. She doesn’t seem to mind

The WW has about filled the screen and the Purple Kush are coming along nice. I may get a couple oz’s off each plant this time👍🏻

I’m filling the reservoir every Sunday then adding nutes and ph’ng the water. Whenever the Purple Kush need watered I open the tap at the end of the line and they get it straight from the reservoir. Now that training is over and we’re just flowering, other than Sunday, I spend less than 5min in my grow room each evening. Seriously, so far this setup has been stupid easy and now that I have the ph drift under control no issues.

Day 20, I’m busy this weekend so I went ahead and gave her a trim tonight. Still may take some of the lower outer stuff that I’m noticing in these pics. I always wonder if I took enough, then before I know it Ive taken too much. Tonight I stepped away to prevent that, tomorrow I’ll reevaluate.

I’ve never used this net but thought it would come in handy to help spread her out more and provide some support. Some of the side branches are already leaning over and there’s a long way to go. The main branches are too hard and woody to do much with but it helped to direct all the smaller growth in the center so it’s not all bunched up.

I’ll get the White Widow sometime in the next days. These two girls can drink. I filled the reservoir Sunday with 12 gallons, last night it was almost empty so I put 6 gallons in to get me through to Sunday. Tonight it looks like there’s maybe 2 gallons left in the reservoir. These girls be thirsty 😂

WoW she's a biggin and pretty too LOL they do love your care

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Thanks! Yea a learned quickly that a perpetual grow using AutoPots needs to be done a little different. They get big lol

 

[MagicMike66]

Man she’s looking great! Can’t wait to see how she turns out. This is making me want to grow a tree too

 

[bboyfromwayback]

I just hope I have enough juice. She’s under 360w which The Electric Sunshine Co says is comparable to a 600w HPS but you know how that goes

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Day 33, afraid I may have taken too much off…still early so we’ll see but this one may end up being a disappointment

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Luckily it’s nearly impossible to screw up a ScrOG when done properly. This one has been neglected. She doesn’t care

 

[bboyfromwayback]

First purple showing on the Purple Kush. These are pretty plants and a great smoke, just tiny

Day 39 for the Gorilla Glue, day 33 for the White Widow and Purple Kush

When I decided to give the GG the tent, I was hoping to get 12oz from it. When I grow 4-6 plants under these two ES180’s I average 18oz a grow so I thought 12oz would doable. We still have a few weeks to fatten up but it’s not looking like 12oz to me, I’m guessing 8, we’ll see. I think I took too much off when I stripped it week 3. That’s my usual demise with manifolds.

BU2B I’d like your thoughts on where I f’d up my PPP attempt. I know GG isn’t a huge producer but I thought the size of the plant would make up for that

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Definitely makes sense to have more leaves the first couple weeks of flowering then take more week 3. No doubt I stripped bud sites off way too low for no good reason on this plant. Not only did I have plenty of room to spread her out more, the electric sky’s penetrate. That is one thing I noticed on your plants, bud sites all the way dow. I didn’t start trying to lollipop until manifolds, I think it’s a easy technique to get carried away with and hinder yourself but when someone nails it they get rewarded.

I went back and checked, you’re right, I stripped the F out if it prior to flip. Think next time I’ll just clean it up by removing the downward and outward growth until week 3. I knew GG wouldn’t be a PPP but I was hoping for 3/4lb which would’ve put me around 1g per watt. Maybe I’ll try GSC or Blue Dream next, they’re producers.

 

[BU2B]

I think it's easy too get carried away with lollipopping hoping for that photo worthy stand back in awe GIANT bud packet. It's damn hard sometimes to find the right mix of defoliation and advice that you can distil down to an individualized working process.

Hi bboyfromwayback. I've had a little hiatus from growing but am soooo close to being able to grow again and will be growing in Autopots. I ran across the system a couple of years ago trying to find a way to auto water my plants as pre-covid I was on the road a lot. Autopots are the simplest way to grow IMHO. No moving parts. Easy to maintain PH and add nutes. Very user friendly.

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Dude, this system is the berries IMO. I honestly don’t even feel like I have a grow going right now. I was filling the reservoir twice a week but they’re slowing down now, put 18g in last Tuesday and didn’t refill until yesterday evening. Other than that I crack the tents open in the evening, give a quick scan to verify everything is operational, do a quick ph check in the res then I’m out. I asked Santa for ph monitoring/adjusting system for Christmas, hopefully he comes through. Then we’ll be on complete cruise control 😂

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Oh yea it is! Especially when you have OCD tendencies like myself 😬 I successfully lollipop’d a Pineapple Chunk once and it grew colas almost as long as my arm but that was a fluke one time only lol Ima save your pic to remind me next time to leave it alone, outward snd downward growth only, leave the leaves and bud sites

 

[MagicMike66]

I’ve had an auto pot system in my garage since I started growing a couple of years ago. Yet to use it but I have been considering getting it out and having a try. Your comment above is making me seriously consider it. My environment is now spot on, it’s just the feeding part that is a pain in the ass.
