After being put into the XL Autopot System her roots made there way into the DIY Air Dome her growth exploded !
She's super healthy besides a few tiny burn marks from me accidentally hitting her lower leaves with nutrient solution over-spray
Refer to my pics for the XL Autopot Air Dome DIY Hack
I had to make it up because where I'm from there are none readily available and the dome system only fits the ones from Autopot USA .
All in all a great week of growth and vigour.
Now that she's being fed by the Autopot Res , I am no longer hand watering !
This week was an absolute nightmare .
Had what I'm guessing is bacterial issues in my res, massive pH swing and early stage lockout .
Switched from deionised store bought water to a 0.2 micron activated carbon water filter and I'm guessing it knocked her about a bit
ph was over 7 in my Autopot bases .
Flushed thoroughly with pH5.8 water and brought the nutes back in at 5.8
I was Mentally exhausted and Made a bunch of silly rookie mistakes 🤦♂️🏼
Still she's grown a bunch in height !
What a difference a week can make !
Huge explosion in growth and vigor, she has now doubled in height and is stacking in pre-flower .
Internodal spacing is generous
Defoliated the bottom 3 shade leaves
Strangely her new leaf growth has pale tips when they come in, but they fill to green ... I don't know if that's normal for this cultivar but she looks happy and healthy
Sorted out pH issues by lowering my res to 5.0 which is keeping the bases at around 6 - 6.2 and it seems to be working wonderfully .
If you're reading this and running XL Autopots and you're having pH issues do as I have done !
Everything is back on track
@gottagrowsometime, ever since FBTC came out of testing I've been itching to add her to my line up and can't wait to see what she produces !
Loving the 5000, it's my first bar light and I'm really impressed ... I ordered the wrong UV bars but I just strapped them to the underneath of the frame and the spread is really awesome, it had my seedlings at the far end of my tent (under a Mars Hydro TSL2000) leaning and chasing the light from it after day 1 of installation
