36 to 42 Tuesday
Day 36
Been seeing pistils about 4 days now. Going to let the autopots drain out and start quarter bloom nutes.
D37
Started 1/4 nutes @ 680ppm (see above)
D38
Lights from 450w to 475w at 16-20".
VPD on point.
Just keeping canopy even right now. Supercroping the main stem for the third time. Feels like plant abuse now.
D39
They are thirsty. Will start filling the res more with more water.
Lowered GROW from 100% to 50%
Increased BLOOM from 25% to 50%
Increased mix from 680ppm to 720ppm mid week.
All other ratios remain the same as above.
Solo Cup seeing slight burn @ 680ppm. I was expecting it. Dropping down to ~550 for a bit.
D40
Lights increased from 475w to 500w. Will most likely move the fixture closer and drop the wattage back down with that uniform coverage!!! #geekbeast
D42
Res is empty again.
Decreased GROW from 50% to 25% strength
Increased BLOOM, ASTRO and N.CANDY from 25% to 50%
720ppm
Happy Halloween!!
Hey man, good luck with your grow in Autopots. It's my first grow using this system and my girls are thriving with the Autopots. Do you have the 6mm or 9mm connections and 25l pots? Just curious which model your using. Happy growings and I will be following your grow till the end.
@Metatronix, I love it. The temperature is stable around 23c with the driver out of the tent. The driver is at 480w at the moment and it is barely even warm. Winter is coming and I am actually concerned about it being too cold in the tent, so I might put the driver back so I don't have to plug in a heater. Another good thing about the temperature staying stable between day/night is that the humidity will also stay stable. My old lights were very warm so when they shut off, the humidity would sky rocket. The spread is absolutely amazing and I am extremely happy with all the other benefits it brings to the environment.
Also another thing about the geek I really like is it fits the 4x4 perfect. It doesn't touch the walls or anything but when I turn the exhaust on, the geek will prevent the tent from sucking in like a juice box. My plants are exploding. I love it and highly recommend.
@nerdz,In a DWC bucket the more air the better for the roots. I'm eyeing the Geekbeast 630 too i will watch how it works in your grow and maybe i will find one under the christmas tree if I'm a good grower 😇 You have an wesome set up by the way i love it 💪🤗🤩
@cpt420, hey man. I am not completely sure on the size of the hoses but yeah it's the 25L Autopot XL. They are fricken huge and annoyingly heavy with the pebbles at the bottom lmao.
Do you use the air domes at the bottom of the pots? I'm having trouble finding information on how much air to give them.
Also, when it comes to feeding, do you stick to the same strength as usual or tone it down a bit due to buildup etc? Like for example if you hand feed at ~800ppm would you lower your autopot solution down to ~600 or something.
Thanks for reaching out!
Hey there, Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Wow😯 the girls did grow so wonderfully ...amazing work 💪👏🏆
I did decide on another bar style light because i could not get the Geekbeast Pro to my country for a reasonable price (over 1000€ with shiping) but i did recived a SE 7000 from Spider farmer which was 200€ less in my place and i'm hoping it will preform as good as the Gerkbeast in your run.
it looks like your gonna have an incredible harvest...all the best and thx for your diary it's inspiring.
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
