As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks.
Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know.
Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s
Water 32L every four days
UV lights one hour per day mid cycle
6" Exhaust 30%
4" Intake 50%
6" oscillating fan x2 50%
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 😃🌱
