Well here we are! The end of week two of veg (day 19 from seed) and the AutoPots have already been turned on for 3 days! By far the earliest I have ever turned the system on, normally it is around 21-24 days from seed. The plants were not watered aside from the initial 3L per pot on day 1 when the seeds were placed in the soil. Picked the pots up on Day 16 and they felt almost dry, so I turned the system on and the girls started drinking the next day.
No drooping just perky, happy plants!
Time to sit back, keep the reservoir filled, and watch these girls explode now that the AutoPots are on. Probably start training in the next few days.
Lights 16" @60% 500-520 umol/s.
Very even spread
damn brother, sooner or later you're gonna spot a tiger in that mf jungle!
looking nice as always, something to strive for, although.. me going into automated drip shit stuff? maybe in a few years 😂
@ironf1st, thanks dude! I have noticed a huge difference since switching to the AutoPots, especially with auto strains. No more guessing how hungry or thirsty they are, they just drink as needed. No fancy pumps or drip emitters, just plain easy gravity feed bottom watering. Although the air domes help (about 30% more yield) they aren't a needed if want to keep the watering system power free. Now it's just up to me to keep raising the lights to keep up with the plant growth haha
They are looking beautiful my friend, and yes, if you'd asked me, I would've said, their growth is slowed down due to the defoliation, that's why I would rather prune them a little bit every couple of days through the grow, automatics are really finicky when it comes to handling stress like that. I have noticed it with the white haze automatic my friend gave me, my first automatic I had, I just Pruned her carefully, bit by bit, it grew much bigger than the one I have in there right now. They get shocked very easily. Not a fan of autos tbh. But still, yours look beautiful. Good luck on the final phase my friend!
I love that I came by your page, I really like what I see!. If you have time to spare, please come over I have 5 diaries going on at once. Would be fun to have you over! Good luck with everything and I’m sending my best wishes for you and your future grows! /LST 😃🌱
