Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

I update this diary daily, so changes happen regularly. Firstly, an update on the AC self watering bases that use wicks to feed water and nutrients to the plant. Last week I made a terrible mistake and added some MaxiCrop Seaweed Extract WITH IRON that I had around. That was a BIG MISTAKE WHEN USING AN AUTOFEEDER THAT USES WICKS. I have now learned that IRON CLOGS WICKS!! Mine were completely clogged and the plant was dry and light. So if you’re considering these self watering reservoirs, they work well but be aware that the wicks can clog. I will need to completely clean these tomorrow to remove all iron residue and get the nutrients flowing perfectly. I am left wondering whether it’s safe to use silica with wicks without clogging issues. Tuesday: start of week 15. Posted a photo of top cola from each Zkitzz plant. Zkitzz #1 is almost ready while Zkitzz #2 is weeks away. I’m going to let Zkitzz #1 develop heavy amber as a nighttime smoke. Two distinctly different appearances despite being the same strain. I’m getting some brown spots on the leaves. It’s my own fault for fluctuating nutrients. She will be harvested soon anyway, but I do want to do a small flush beforehand. Wednesday: cleaned out both reservoirs and cleaned wicks. Both were clogged from using seaweed extract WITH IRON. Iron clogged the wicks, so the plants weren’t being fed enough nutrients or water. Should be almost as good as new now. Checked trichomes on Zkitzz #1 and they’re still clear. Zkitzz #2 has weeks to go, so no rush. Thursday: I’m glad I cleaned the wicks and rinsed out the solution with iron. Plants are drinking again. I will continue to top off reservoirs daily and wait patiently for some amber to appear. Sunday: plants have been taking up large quantities of water to rehydrate the root balls. Back to around .7 gallons of nutrients being consumed per plant per day. (Some is evaporated away too)
