Well it was a nice easy week again this week, and the flush has officially begun on Day 72. Trichomes were 60/40 cloudy/clear and aiming for a 7-10 day flush so timing felt right. Emptied out the last 8L of nutrient enriched water, washed the reservoir and switched over to plain PH water with Flawless Finish to help with the final flush. Before turning the water back on I took both girls out of the tent and put on pot risers with trays to let their pots drain out. Also emptied and cleaned the autopot bases, then replaced the pots and opened up the water tap. When I clean the bases I also take a minute to squish (8-10 times) and reset the red silicone stoppers. The smell of these girls is just amazing, a sweet but pungent grape/citrus mix and the buds are very dense and just absolutely packed with trichomes. Just from the pictures I would say these are my most packed buds yet! Can't wait to get these two harvested, dried and tested to see how they performed compared to the hand watered organic amendment run I just did previously. Just from the size of the plants and bud structure I wouldn't be surprised to see easily 30% if not 50% more yield with the Autopots. The organic run was half the size but still put off 12g buds so this could get interesting! šŸ¤ž By Day 77 we are seeing a few reds here and there, might be another week at most I'm thinking. For now will practice my patience and enjoy the last few days of growing this beauty strain.

Absolutely beautiful. I am considering autopots, but not being able to flush, or have runoff to check my ppms scares me. I believe I will go with a drip irrigation system. Idk.. it's so hard to chose. I do know that picking up 3g pots to switch to new runoff trays suck. Especially when I got to pick up each one and switch trays 3 or 4 times. Having 10 plants, it takes me literally 2hrs to water and check runoffs.. every single day. there has to be a better way

@Grow_for_Happiness, I thought I had responded to you. Idk why my response isn't showing. Anyways thanks for the response and tips. I really appreciate it. I believe I may try them at some point, but a drain to waste system will be my preferred method for now. Hey bro, it works tho your KILLING IT those ladies are absolutely beautiful šŸ˜

@DoughHead, holy sh*t dude 2 hours a day? I could see how it takes that long but daaaaaamn you've got determination! I went with the Autopots because I was tired of watering every 2 days for 30 minutes a time šŸ˜„ . Also I like the idea of not having to run multiple pumps. While it is true you can't really check the ppm from runoff since there is none, you can flush the plants quite easily. Either have a second reservoir with plain PH water that you just switch to, or empty your reservoir with nutes into bucket(s) and refill with PH water. I had to flush half way through this run when I hit the girls with a high EC a bit too early, and the two reservoir method worked great. If flushing make sure to pull out the pots and let them drain a bit, and also empty the trays before turning on the ph water tap.
