Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

Overall….self watering bases are working great! I did flush once between veg and flower to prevent salt buildup at the roots. I don’t know if that is recommended….but I believe it was a good preventative move before going into the more fragile flower growing phase. All I do is top off the reservoirs daily with almost .7 gallons of nutrients per reservoir. No runoff, no overwatering, no mess, no wasted nutrients. It’s almost too easy compared to other growing methods. I’m also appreciating the coco coir over soil….no bugs, lighter, less expensive, easier to flush and change nutrient levels with coco, perfect air/water ratio at the roots. Irrigating from the bottom is also called a SIP (sub-irrigated planter)….i plan to test another SIP next time called an Octopot. TUESDAY: BEGINNING of week 3 of flower. Zkitzz #1 is up to 37”, so I’m glad I upgraded my tent to a taller model. Leaves looking extremely healthy….no nutrient burn or deficiencies showing. I am glad that I flushed the plants last week in preparation for flower. I’ve been slowly defoliating a few leaves these first two weeks of flower…..almost time to stop picking leaves. I hope that I defoliated enough. WEDNESDAY: up to 38 inches tall. Really happy about the new taller tent. THURSDAY: Happy Thanksgiving! Plant is up to 39.5 inches today. Budlets are starting to be more prominent. SATURDAY: Up to 42 inches tall today…..hoping they stop stretching soon. Raised lights by 2 inches.
