Fastbuds Afghan Kush Auto

OK so the afghans are interesting plants. Both of them started going a little weird and scraggley but I realised it was probably because I had the timer set the wrong way round so instead of watering for 60 seconds every 24 hours, somehow I managed to set it to 60s every 6 hours! No wonder they wernt very happy with it because there is way more soil in the medium mix for these plants so they obviously cant take as many waterings as if it were just coco. Now that they are being watered manually because iv actually been here and not away for once. They are definitely improving and also growing quite a bit too. I fimmed one and topped one but they were already a little confused about which direction they are growing so it appears as if I have managed to top them once and get four growth nodes. we will see but thats how it looks atm. Im also massively behind with another diary for 'smoothie' that im growing specifically to press into rosin (fastbuds suggested that when I told them I just got a new rosin machine) Edit: oh shit I totally forgot! I germinated two blackberry seeds as well and mentioned before that I had one in a pot which shrivled and died so I germinated two more (no idea why I did two and not one) and popped the rootriot cube into the medium and it happened again. I removed the offending pot and shrivled plants and had one left over. I didnt have the heart to kill it knowing it was a female so I just shoved it (for the time being!) into the side of one of the afghan plants. We will see what happens. The light will most likely block it from the blackberry but if dunno it will be interesting just to see. I was also looking at SIP bucket inserts. I used to use hempy buckets but I found the medium at the bottom didnt really allow for enough water and air. The autopot system works so well but is super expensive so I thoiught maybe a SIP bucket insert might work. There are a few I have seen but thew main choices are: Elho self watering insert (lots of sizes most importantly they do them the same size and actually bigger than my biggest buckets im using now, Oasesbox - these look cool and would probably be the best choice for a set and forget that you can leave for a longer period but I feel like the plants wouldnt get as big because of the HUUUUUGE water reservoir at the bottom takes up a lot of the root space, OR Mona Plantsava 10L Watering Tank - This also looks cool and has the same general idea. I think the elho and the mona are the two main choices for me - probably one of each! They both look cool and could be modified to both get filled up from my current reservoir via some sort of float valve box OR could be modified to take an airstone at the bottom aswell! I just think they are really cool ideas - probably really overpriced for a hunk of plastic, however, they are cheaper expensive hunks of plastic than the autopots and if they work as well it would be a good investment I think. If I pop on them ill do some sort of review...
