Used Jiffy-7 pellets for germination. All the seeds sprouted and they were in daylight for the rest of the week.
This is going to be my second grow, and my first plant training.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▌My setup:
▌
▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80
▌Lights: MEIZHI 600W
▌Ventilation: Secret Jardin Monkey Fan (oscillating)
▌& Ventilution Mixed In-Line (145/187m³/h)
▌Pots/Water-System: AutoPot 4Pot System
▌Substrate: 50% Biobizz Coco-Mix & 50% Perlite
▌Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The 4 plants almost died because of underwatering. The soil I have mixed has to drain very fast (important for the AutoPot System) but it dryed out faster than I expected.
I rely on the autopot system cause I will be away often and so the plants can hopefully grow all by themselves.

I was gone for 10 days and had to rely on the AutoPot watering system for the first time. The plants seem to have gotten enough water, however they have some burns I guess. See question.

General question about my plants:
First of all I can see some burns, I could think of windburn due to the fan? Then on the overall picture, the Haze Berry are shaped very flat, while the OG Kush are like a christmas tree. Also, the leaves are very close together. Is that normal?
Hi @FourTwenty! Well, we're missing some crucial informations here: considering you're growing soilless, I guess you already fed your babies multiple times right? What nutrients have you been giving, at what frequency? Do you control both PH and EC levels of your waterings/feedings? If so, what were the PH and EC levels of your last feedings? It's absolutely necessary to control these values in coco, since this medium can't buffer anything. It looks like your OG Kush is suffering from over-watering and nutrients issue, but the last one could be caused by the 1st one (roots flooded in water can't breath and can't handle nutrients). In this situation, I would stop any feeding and let the medium dry a bit. Roots need to be on a Wet/Dry cycle to properly spread, searching for water. Each phase should be pretty quick (so this involves slight waterings and good airflow). Now about the different shapes of your plants, they're just expressing their indica/sativa traits, nothing to worry about at this stage. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
I was away again for 6 days, today I finally added nutrients (BioBizz TryPack) to the tank, so the plants will be better next week.
I thought the plants would grow without nutrients (lol), because it worked in my last grow (in which I used soil), but now I found out that coco needs nutrients. Also, I bought a PH and an EC measuring device to get started.

The BioBizz nutrients aren't working really well with the AutoPot System (because it's organic), that's why I ordered Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect for next week.
Also I removed the bottom leaves of all the plants.

I switched from BioBizz to Advanced Nutrients and filled up the pots. Also I topped all the plants (hope I didn't damage the bud sites, those were my first toppings).

I did another topping because I wasn't satisfied the first time. They seem to have recovered, although the new leaves are a bit deformed. I'm having trouble with the autopot system and the nutrients (tried BioBizz and Advanced Nutrients), the plants are overwatered and I'm not sure if they get the right amount of nutrients..
