Assorted Auto's in Auotpot XL

So far life has been good to these ladies. Temps have been steady and humidity has been locked in keeping the VPD nice and steady. Watering daily, started with 30ml per day and added 10ml each watering to end the week at 100ml per day for #2/#3 and #1/#4 only 40ml/20ml respectively. #2/#3 are taking the lead, just starting on their third set of leaves, while #1 is starting her second set by week's end and #4 has popped the soil and starting first real set. #1 is about 4 days behind the other girls since first seed did not germinate. #4 seems to be the runt, but sometimes the runt yields the best so let's see what she does! Should see some good growth this upcoming week, usually get the Autopots on around day 21 🤞. Good thing have 2 reservoir, will just run #2/#3 on one and #1/#4 on the other since they're a bit slower (for now) and may need a few more days before turning on the tap.

Nice easy week, early on so not much to say. Watering the girls every 48 hours, depending on the plant some getting 400ml others getting 150ml. Basically just watering outside of the leaves to encourage root growth. Thinking will be turning on the water soon for #2/3 as they are getting close to the edge of the pots. Not much vertical growth this week, few inches on each plant. Lights are still 50% and down to 15" by the end of the week, most of week were at 20". Should about 400-500 PAR, should start to see big growth this week coming. #1 Ghost Beach - 4 days behind the others but almost as big. #2 Ghost OG - looking great, straight trunk and healthy leaves #3 Gravely Ghost - the biggest of the bunch. Decided to do its own LST with the curvy trunk. First to get leaf tucking started. #4 Sour Ghost Kush - the runt, tiny but mighty pushing second set of leaves.

Nice easy week free of issues, other than me thinking it was time to turn on the Autopots when it wasn't 🤦‍♂️. Only second time running the system so mistakes are to be expected. Thought that #2 and #3 were ready for the pots, so turned on the valves day 23. But after 2 days (day 25) noticed the reservoir hadn't moved other than the initial few fillings, and that the girls were looking a bit thirsty. Gave them a good 1.4L each on day 26 and the next day they were perked right back up. Probably stunted them a bit, but hopefully will still get a good growth spurt now that they are both in flower 🎉🤞. Hopefully will see them start to bottom feed in next few days. I did check the tray PH and it's 6.1 so hasn't crept up much over the 5 days. #1 Ghost Beach - 4 days behind the rest but looking the healthiest and similar size as others. LST started with leaf tucking Day 24 #2 Ghost OG - started showing signs of flower Day 25 from seed. Only LST was light leaf tucking until Day 28. Used ground stakes to bend down the top slightly and one of the branches #3 Gravely Ghost - started showing signs of flower Day 23 from Seed. She is the biggest in the tent and fattened out nicely with just leaf tucking up till Day 28. Got her top bent down and tied 90° and one of the arms staked down as well. #4 Sour Ghost Kush - may be small but she had already grown 5 sets of branches so I'm gonna let her run and see what happens! Still quite small at only 4" and just showing sex on Day 28 Lights are 20" @ 80% so should be around 500-550 PAR.

Overall a good week this week. All the girls are growing at a slower but steady pace. Realising I messed up on watering early on which is why they didn't root as fast as usual. Ah well live and learn! Picked up some 3.8gal Autopots for next run, like the idea of less rooting time for the autos. Gave the girls a heavy watering Day 29 and 4 days later pots felt light so the taps were turned on day 33 and girls seem to be up taking water but at a slower rate than normal. Won't worry about it just sit back and let them do their thing! Three of the 4 are into flower and training is being done on all 4 plants. Currently running two reservoir but will go down to one this upcoming week now that all are flowering. #1 Ghost Beach - adjusted LST plant is starting to look pretty flattened out - started to flower Day 28 #2 Ghost OG - adjusted LST trying to get main cola a bit flatter but might be in its final shape now - looking good and healthy otherwise #3 Gravely Ghost - the bushiest of them all! LST and leaf tucking really fattened this girl out. -small LST adjustments - well into flower now #4 Sour Ghost Kush - the runt but looking healthy still - good growth this week -showing start of flower on Day 34 -still hand watering 2L every 3-4 days hope to get on autopot this week

Overall good, easy low maintenance week. Repositioned the fans and turned on the second one mid week to ensure best air movement. All 4 plants have the Autopots and air domes on now and are quite happy. Lots of growth from #1 and #4 but #2 and #3 seem to have slowed down or stopped by end of week. May have to put them on risers they're a good bit shorter than front plants already and I don't think front is done growing yet hahaha. #1 Ghost Beach Easy week and with 10" growth almost doubled in size! Adjusted ties and did some leaf picking but only the very lowest that had never fully formed. She is now the biggest in the tent and youngest by 4 days. #2 Ghost OG She recovered from the LST late last week and kept adjusting the ties every few days throughout the week. Only 4" growth though, might be almost at her max size for this run. This strain seems to be coming in with a LOT of fan leaves! Did some leaf picking, maybe 16-20 and some bud sites that were right against the main stalk. Looking great though, buds coming in well already. #3 Gravely Ghost The buds on this plant are the most developed in the tent so far. Looks like she may have reached her final height with only 1.5" growth this week, but the way it's going I'm picturing one big bud per branch, similar to my first Slimer run 🤞. She is also quite leafy, did a good leaf picking (20-24) at the end of the week. #4 Sour Ghost Kush Well the runt is still looking nice and healthy. Got some LST going early week and she really widened out near the end of it. Adjusted tied on Day 42 and removed 6-10 of the lowest most inner fan leaves. Res change tomorrow will be the start of flowering nutes for this one, will keep her on seperate reservoir until she is in week 2 flower.

Overall a great week. No issues and girls are drinking well. Did a defoliation on all plants on Day 48 at lights on and next day all the plants looking happier than they have. Also cleaned out all the Autopot bases/valves when I had plants out to defoliate, 3 weeks water on and they weren't too dirty so that's nice. #1 Ghost Beach The biggest in the tent and looking very good. Defoliate Day 43, wasn't too thick wanted to stay ahead of any crowding. Also adjusted and added more ties while I still can to maximize spacing between buds. A few branches already too thick to bend. Slowed down in growth but still 5" this week, I'm guessing she's just about done. With mainly leaf tucking and only 2-3 ties (up to Day 43) she has 5-7 branches that have reached the same height as the main top. Nice even canopy and minimal work so far. #2 Ghost OG Overall she is in pretty good health, save for what looks like some nutrient or light burn on a few of the uppermost leaves. Maybe she's a bit more sensitive to high EC or PH swings than the other strains. Even with Advanced Nutrients I need to PH the res every few days because of my water. Defoliate and wow did she need it! Almost looks like a whole different plant after, and even better the next day after a bit of rest she was perked right up. Buds are coming in very well and starting to fatten up. Gonna be a lot of fatties on this one! #3 Gravely Ghost The most developed of the girls but now the shortest. She is only 16" tall, but each branch is basically a 12" bud!! Defoliation was heavy just like #2 but boy did she need it! Now much more light penetration and airflow. While defoliation all I could smell was oranges and skunk #4 Sour Ghost OG Well she is officially no longer the smallest in the tent! A good 5" of vertical growth and a lot of widening out this week. Did some training mid week and a defoliation end of week with the rest of the girls and she is just loving life right now! Should still see another week or so of growth before she slows down. Bud sites galore, if these link it'll be fatties for days

Wow can't believe we are already finishing week 4 of flower! This grow has gone by so fast. Had a pretty laid back week overall. Not much work on the plants, after the heavy defoliation last week wanted to give them as much rest and low stress as possible. #1 Ghost Beach The biggest and youngest girl in the tent on Day 52 from seed. Buds are coming in well and she has been pretty happy for the most part. She's looking a tad bit stressed with the burnt and curling tips, she may just be a bit more sensitive to PH swings than the others or maybe more nute sensitive. Or could be that because she's the tallest that she's only 8" from the lights, getting 800umol/s 🤣. Looking great either way, keep going champ! #2 Ghost OG Barely see her hidden in the back left corner. Not much to say about this one, buds are fattening and she is packing on weight. #3 Gravely Ghost She may be short but this girl is all bud! Starting to see brown hairs on most buds and the buds just keep swelling and putting on weight. Happy otherwise, still the furthest along but #2 is pretty close. #4 Sour Ghost Kush The "runt" is doing great despite its slower start. Glad I kept her around as she has shot up to 19" and is starting to flower nicely. This strain must have a longer flower time as she is still the least developed, but that's ok it just means she will have the tent to herself for a week or so at the end of it all.

For the most part a hands off week until day 62 when I did a defoliation of all the girls. Hadn't really checked in on them much throughout the week as it's been getting busy with Christmas and work. No excuse though, have to buckle down and remember to put the time in with the girls. Everything looked great after the defoliation, lots more airflow and did not come across any sketchy buds or leaves while doing the work. I just remembered today that #4 flowered about 12 days after the rest of them, so makes sense why her buds aren't as developed yet. She is the runt afterall! And wow she's also the most frosty, I think this plant is gonna be very festive! ❄️ If this entry reads weird it's because I'm high AF right now after a vape salad of Slimer and OG Kush

Was a good week and everyone is in great spirits heading into the holidays. All the girls look happy and have been drinking well as always. Only issue this week was with the equipment, not the plants, and thankfully it did not effect the girls. Was taking pics yesterday through the side door to check #3 trichomes and noticed some water on the grow tent floor near the main door. Went around to check it out, and low and behold one of the fittings on the Autopot had leaked! Turned out the culprit was #4 at the T fitting. More my fault than anything, I have pulled this hose on and off a few times, and the last time noticed it did not grab as well but did not see a leak so thought nothing of it. Easy fix, just cut half an inch or so of hose off, reattached and it fit much more snug. Lesson learned, if removing fittings more than once I will always trim a bit off the end just be be sure. Luckily no leak outside the tent even though it was about 3L. Aside from the spill tray (which easily handled the water) I also have reinforced the bottom with 10ml plastic that goes up 2" higher than the spill tray. Better safe than sorry! Makes me realise I need to get a leak pan for my res, cause hey you never know! #1 Ghost Beach She has reached her final size and is now focusing her energy on bulking up the buds. Still a week or two until flush by the looks of it, but time to start paying more attention. #2 Ghost OG Hiding in the back behind #1, she may be shorter but she's got some weight to her. Nice big buds stacking up that's for sure! #3 Gravely Ghost Now the shortest in the tent, this girl is all bud and ready for a water only diet, with some Flawless Finish added in to make sure she cleans out nicely. Trichomes are roughly 60/40 cloudy/clear. Strong smell to her and the buds are big and solid, and not quite done yet! 7-12 days I would guess, let's see! #4 Sour Ghost Kush This girl may have been a slower starter but she has grown up to be the second biggest, but possibly the frostiest in the tent! I'd guess 3 weeks left, but already the frost is half way down the leaves. So far she has been 2 weeks behind the rest of the girls, maybe this strain just has a longer veg period 🤷🏻.

Busy week with life being Christmas time so thankfully the girls are pretty much hands off at this point. Just checking trichomes every 2-3 days, and at the rate they're going were going to be chopping plants soon! Girls #1-3 were all on flush this week, while #4 was running her last week of overdrive nutes. On day 77 switched all plants to flush. #1 Ghost Beach Looks like this girl has chosen a lighter colour profile than the others in the tent. She is still the tallest, and her buds have ripened nice and full and hard. Started flush on day 69 from Seed, should give her a good 7-10 days to clean out any buildup. Smell is strong and sticky AF. Trichomes are mostly 90/10 cloudy/clear on Day 73, with just the first sign of a red here and there but not in every pic yet. #2 Ghost OG Dark and stormy, this plant had been hiding in the corner her whole life but has been a champ. Some slight nutrient burn early on but stable since then. Plant consists of large solid buds, dark colours with spikes of trichome crusted hairs. Solid and stinky, she's on 4 days of flush now with another 3-7 to go. #3 Gravely Ghost This girl is in her last few days, if she makes 80 I'll be surprised. She is short but wow looking like it might be all tops! Buds are big and solid, one big bud per branch allllll the way down. Dark buds with sugar leaves starting to pick up yellow/orange colours. Packed with trichomes, gonna be a treat to harvest this one 🤤 #4 Sour Ghost Kush What can I say, other than she is the runt! Have been hoping that with the slower start to life it was just a slightly longer auto strain. But now am realizing that I must have mistreated her in her younger days, because she is 90/10 cloudy/clear so time to flush, but the buds are not really fully developed yet. Much thinner and lighter than I'm used to seeing, but the trichome pack is pretty intense! If the buds are super airy this one might make some good dry sift Rosin, make lemonade out of lemons right? Will be running again in the future to try and do better and get this strain to it's full potential instead of barely crossing the finish line.

Thichomes were ready so harvest was on Day 80 from seed for this girl. She has nice big strong stems and a pretty good wet weight. Buds were slightly spaced out but nice and dense. Very aromatic when cleaning her up. The hairiest and biggest of the bunch too! Be a nice 2-3 week dry I'm guessing.

Harvest went smooth and easy! Gotta love it when the whole plant is 9 massive buds, means so much less trimming hahaha. Just ran water and flawless finish to clean her out, 11 day flush with a Day 84 harvest.

Was only a two day week, trichomes matured quick and she was ready to harvest! Easy cleanup before hanging. Look forward to doing this strain again in the future to see her true potential.

Kept pushing this one but was seeing 15-20% trichomes in every pic so had to harvest. Didn't get her true potential with the very delayed start, but something's you get a runt and that's the fun of growing! And sometimes that runt ends up being a super smoke/buzz, so there's still hopes to be had 🙂. She will be grown again at some point.
