Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

Update….This grow will be about the use of self watering bases with coco coir. I’m planning to bottom feed exclusively with a flush between veg and flower to flush out the residual salts from the fertilizer. I ran into that with soil the last time I used these pots, but I’ve never run with the coco. This is all new to me. Transplanted from the germination station (under T5 fluorescent lights) to the grow tent under LEDs. I expect much stronger light from the LED in the tent. Adjusted lamp to 6500 lux (recommended lux for seedlings is 5-7000). I had been giving them 2500 lux under the T5 fluorescent bulbs. Watered in with RO Water with seaweed extract (1oz/gallon) and CalMag (3ml/g) and then 1ml/g each of the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients. Adjusted ph to 6.0, which required about 1ml/g of ph down. Humidifier set to 70%. I wish I could raise the temperature (70 degrees) by a few degrees, but I’m not willing to put a heater in the tent. My lamp will put off more heat as I increase intensity too, so the tent will be warmer in the future. Exhaust fan is set up to turn on if humidity hits 80% or if the temperature hits 78 degrees. Daily Updates: TUESDAY- Adjusted light to 6900 lux level. Plants looked great under 6500 lux yesterday. Topped off the self-watering bases with 6.0 ph nutrient solution. The wicks are likely slowly transferring liquid to the bottom of the 5 gallon fabric pots. I’m questioning the health of the Godfather OG. Leaves look abnormal and growth is slow…..likely overwatered early on. Might replace Godfather OG with another backup seedling if she doesn’t start looking healthier. See photo above. WEDNESDAY- raised tent temperature to 75 degrees and 70% humidity. Measured plants to see growth over time. Godfather OG might be replaced soon if she doesn’t show any growth. She seems stunted considering she’s over one week older than the other two plants. Keeping the VPD less than 1. THURSDAY-Topping off the self watering bases every day or two as nutrients are sucked up into the soil through the wicks and fabric pot. These self-watering pots generally moisten the bottom 1/3 of the fabric pot, so the roots need to grow down to the bottom third before the self-watering pots become effective. I’m going to modify these self watering bases so that I can check the ph and ppm in the bases without dis-assembly…see photo of before and after. I replaced the Godfather OG with the spare Zkittz seedling. She was much more robust and showing growth compared to the sluggish Godfather seedling. Godfather seemed stunted before and after transplant….possibly over fed too early as a seedling. FRIDAY - Added soil around long stem of new Zkittelz transplant so that she’s sturdier in the pot without wanting to tip over during watering. Watered each plant with nutrient solution.
