Autopot 8.5l, each pot with autopot airdome (max 2l of air/minute per each plant in autopot). No additional air supply for fabric pots. I also hanged CO2boost Boost Buddy large bag, no need for anything fancy in small growbox(100x50x160cm)
Experienced nutrient lockout. There was ecological disaster here about which i didnt know (im not much a tv or news type of person, im not even a "peoples" person so i didnt asked why there is no bottled water in any store nearby, people bought almost whole supply 😐), because of water contamination ph of tap water fluctuates between 6-11 even after osmosis filtration, so long story short i didnt check ph of watering/nutrient solution tank every time i refilled it (before the disaster i checked ph only once every 2-3 days because it was always the same after filtration 6.5). So this week there was an unplanned flush of all pots, replacing the soil everywhere outside the root structure with new fertilized soil from the same manufacturer Gold Label, raised the light about 15 cm to let them stretch a bit and make up for lost time. After 2 days plants look like they are recovering so i started first LST to start spreading them before applying SCROG net maybe somewhere at week 3-5 depending how fast plants will recover after this disaster. Almost forgot to mention, plants started to smell nice, especially Northern Lights guest plant 😎. Light increased from 20h to 24h for 6 days and 20h for one day, hopefully it will delay flowering stage of autoflowers for a week maybe even 2 or more.
Its my first time with Autopot system and with BIOBIZZ nutrients so my Cookies Gelato in Autopot are not as big as i was expecting. By trial and error i was learning how much nutrient solution i can store in the tank and for how long (max 4-5 days for 10 liters of solution, 4-6 days for 15liters and max 7 days for 20 liters). Because of my learning curve my Cookies had a lot of stress in this grow cycle and i had to defoliate them cause lot of leaves went really bad(Normally i dont defoliate at all with the exception of really bright yellow or white leaves or the ones that are blocking the light from reaching lover flowers) . Also had to learn how much air/minute they need for their roots from airpump connected to Autopot Airdome at the bottom of the pot for proper root health (too much and plant was drying fast and on low setting it was to wet for the roots). I even suspected root mold at some point and had to add some chems(dont like artificial chems and pesticides, always trying to keep my garden 100%Bio) from local flower store to fight it.
Last week of nutrients. From now on only ro water. Couldn't help myself and tasted all 4 plants, vaped buds without drying them even, so can't tell you about taste cause it was still full of nutrients but the potency is great even now 2 weeks before harvest. Cookies just knocked me out, low coordination of movement and hands, typical party finisher, you smoke it and you are out. White widow while still quite potent didnt knocked me out, it's nice for movie or going out. Northern lights is very opposite to both cookies and white widow, full mind clarity, almost no effect on body, i felt full of energy, happy and i went cycling. Propably good for smoking at work and still being able to do your job and enjoy it. Can't wait for them to be ready for harvest time.
