Banana MAC 600w Indoor clone grow

cpt420 Hi all. I've ordered my beautifully packed clones from Cannaclone, South Africa and they arrived within a week of ordering. I've done a new setup with the AQUAValve5 Autopot 4x25l XL System this time. It's a gravity fed watering system connected to a 47l water reservoir, supplying my plants with PH balanced water and EHG nutrients whenever they are thirsty. My first feed lasted 16 days before I had to refill the reservoir. Inside each 25l pot, I've placed an Airdome which supplies extra oxygen to each plant giving them a boost to promote healthy roots. I'm super amped to see how they respond to the new and improved system, so wish me luck and happy growing to the rest of my fellow growers. With love and lots of bongs, from Cape Town South Africa.

cpt420 They are growing daily, unfortunately one of them got a bit hurt during transplant but I'm keeping an eye on her and wishing her a speedy recovery.

cpt420 So I finally got to topping them, had to wait a week longer before topping, due to the recovery of the plant at the back after transplants, so yeah, they were topped a bit late. Made 8 clones from them all, will keep a close eye to see whether all 8 will still be alive in a few days time.

cpt420 So finally the time for flowering came. They are still looking very green and healthy and I can't complain since using the Autopot system. Hopefully they won't stretch too much before making buds.

cpt420 Second week of flowering and still going strong. I experienced a bit of stretching within the first week of flowering but it seems so have slowed down and the buds are finally starting to put out. 4-6 weeks left before harvesting I reckon.

cpt420 So the buds on these ladies are starting to smell and fatten up quickly. Had quite a bit of stretching up until now, don't know if it's the strain or maybe me adding some of the Grow nutrients whilst flowering. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait and see if they can close up some of the space in between the nodes to make some nice, fat colas. Peace. ✌️🏻

cpt420 These ladies are starting to turn hairy and frosty real quick. Can't walk by tent without the sweet smell hitting my nose. They are also getting more thirsty by the day, had to top up my water reservoir after 6 days this week. So that's good news as it means their roots are very well established and they are just soaking up everything they need. The two plants on the right side looks like it went into a bit of re-vegging for some sorts as it just kept on shooting upwards but it seems it's finally slowing down.

cpt420 Added some ripener this week to see the effect it will have on these beauties. Really starting to smell and the flowers are fattening up. Haven't struggled with any pests, mold or nutrient burn so far and loving the Autopots. Just a few more weeks till the end result.

cpt420 Really pleased with their flowering period so far. I suspect that 2 of them will be done flowering before the other two. Getting some weird flowers from the lazy two plants, but what I've learned when growing weed, is that sometimes weird can lead to awesome things :) the leaves are getting really sticky and silver and I'm getting smells of summer grapes and sweet melon.

cpt420 I've been offline for about two weeks and jeez have they put out in size. Had to do a week's flushing to ensure the nutrient build up gets flushed out. Super happy with trichome production and the smell is amazing at this stage. I might be harvesting my first plant within the next two weeks, fingers crossed.

cpt420 Another successful week of growing, will be harvesting one of these babies within this week as her leaves are all almost turned yellow and falling off the tree. Exciting times.

cpt420 A few more days left before I start to harvest my plants. For now I'm going to start with the two on the left and work my way around to the plant that's still in reveg, shooting heads like crazy for some reason. Smells amazing and the stickyness is out of this world. Much love ❤️🍀

cpt420 Overall I'm extremely pleased with the grow and yield I got from using the Autopot system. By far my biggest yield yet. The clones were happy with the growing conditions and new setup. Would recommend the Autopots to anyone wanting to try something new or doesn't have the time to hand water or be with their plants 24/7. Also collected some decent kief/pollen from the dried leaves which can be used for smoking, making of hash or dab. Still deciding what I'll do with it. Thanks for making the effort to view my dairy, see you with the next one. Much love and happy smoking my fellow growers.
