Mother Gorilla RQS Autopot

All is going as planed here. They usually love it starting in a 50/50 soil/coco mix and a 1l pot. All is needed is patience :D -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a great week, lots of growth happening, they are ready to be transplanted. I decided they will go in a coco/perlite mix, so it will be a hydro grow in Autopots.

A good week with transplant in the beginning. Hand watering at the moment till the roots get to the bottom, then switching to the Autopot system. They love the new home! First time trying the Gold Label nuts and I already like them.

Big week here. The girls got moved into the tent and also into the Autopot system. I'm excited to see how the Autopot performs! There appeared some burns, I had been busy with xmas, so I didn't had that much time to attend them. I believe they will get back on track now. The biggest challenge is to keep the PH stable in the water tank.

It's been such a great week, the girl/girls love it in the Autopots! They exploded in size the past 7 days. I did the 2nd topping this week and I started the training as well and it shows. They are getting bushy. 1st day in week 6 I flip them to 12/12, cuz I believe they will soon fill up the tent. I have to say I enjoy working with the Gold Label nutrients. It gives more control having Magnesium and PK standing for themselves.

The first week of blooming went well. The girls like the autopot system, and I'm very happy with it as well, I wish to only grow this way in the future. I filled the water tank with ca. 90l nutrient solution 6 day ago(about the same time I flipped them to 12/12), and now there are 25l left. I've been adding a bit of Ph down every 2nd day, since it kept going up to 6.5. I really wish it would stay more stable! I added a bit of PK(0.25ml/l) to the feeding, in my experience it helps the girls to start blooming. Since the water in the tank started getting murky, I started adding H2O2 to try to keep things under control. The girls have visibly stretched. So far I've been doing the minimum amount of training, topping twice and binging down the top shoots, I hope I get some time to do a bit more soon. Oh, I've also been removing the lowest side branches, I want to avoid the popcorn buds as much as possible :)

One more week of blooming and the girls seem to have grown 20cm taller. I've cleaned the tank this week and added fresh nutrients, minus "Roots", and now the water seems to be staying cleaner. There are for sure some organics in the Roots, making the water murky and slimy. I'm still fitting to keep the Ph down all the time. I started giving them some Silica to get them nice and strong. I was considering for some time to get a camera instead of taking shots with my phone. Luckily I was visiting a friend in the weekend, he's a photographer, and he offered me to buy his old camera 👌 I'm quite happy with it! :D Thanks for stopping by, see you around, and happy growing! 😉

Another good week has gone. They are freaking tall! I hope they stop stretching now, I have the lamp all the way up. I'm super happy with the Autopot system, I can definitely recommend it! I did some defoliation this week and I also removed the lowest branches.

Such a great week! I increased the nutrients to EC 1.8 and the girls are loving it. The bud growth has exploded this week. I'm happy to be half way flowering, it's a big milestone. I have to say again that the Autopot system is really a game changer. I love it! It's so much more practical than a drip system. I'm also very happy with the Golden Label nutrients. For the last 3 weeks I've only been topping up the nuts in the tank, no cleaning, and it still looks nice and clean - the tank and the nutrient solution.

This week has been about buds. They are growing and growing and growing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another great week here. The buds are exploding! I think the largest girl might easily get over 100g. The tallest of them is giving a strong sweet tropical smell that takes over the whole tent :D Thanks for stopping by! ;)

It has been one more good week. I started using only RO water for the feeding and they seem to like the lower EC. I used up the Ultra MG, there was only 500ml in the combo pack, so I ordered a new one and one more combo pack. I'm happy with this brand of nuts, so I'll keep using them. There are clear signs we are approaching the finish line. I lowered the humidity to 45, and I think I'll go down to 40 next week as there are so seriously thick buds in there. I've also turned the ventilation to max. It will be interesting to see how long it will take them to finish, since they are 75% sativa.

It has been a great week here! --------------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- ---------------------------------

I took the big Mother out for a photo shoot. I didn't dared up until now since she's so large. I started flushing with RO water. Unfortunately I got mold on two buds, one on the large Mother and the other one on one of the other ones. Now I placed the dehumidifier inside the tent and set it up to 30%. I really hope this helps, cuz they look like they could use ca. 10 more days.
