Actually it was closer to Week 6 when the Blumats got hooked up. Watered every 3-4 days in Weeks 4-5.
I'm a big fan of the Blumats Soil Moisture Meter btw- super useful tool for new growers like me. Yeah, you can learn picking them up, or you can learn faster by having a measurable number to compare your feelings to- of course if you're not new to growing I doubt you'd find the value.
With all the trial and error necessary to figure out watering , it's still an important tool 3 months after I picked it up- even when I'm hand-watering.
I'm following this because of the Grow dots. I see they're becoming a little problematic. I hear they work best on autoflowers in coco/perlite because of the way they time release. I'm going to do a side by side on a couple of autos my next round and see what's up.
Good luck, your flowers are looking pretty good ✌️💚🌱
@Wanda, Thanks! I think some of it's the strain- wants to touch the light and eats a ton, and now it looks like could take at least 9 weeks flowering to finish.
I think the bigger issues were mostly my fault. The other 2 Growdots plants were well-fed but I should've seen how pale the monster was getting in wk 2-3 of flower and just used a PK booster- the bigger mistake was turning off the Calmag in coco loco and then letting her get 10" from the light.
I've run some Growdots in everything including just peat moss with some perlite and they work in everything but you're prob right that they work best with autos- 1 pot, no transplanting, 11 weeks. Happy experimenting! 🙏👊
