Windowsill Grow - Living Soil Auto Expert GG

Spector76 In Red Cup, growing well and rooted

Spector76 Transplanted directly into 5-gallon fabric pot. Watering every 5-6 days

Spector76 Still waiting to Tap Root

Spector76 Leaves are “praying”. Moved canfan to point at fabric pot and plant is looking much happier. Growing horizontally with 8-10 pre-flower sites

Spector76 Plant is starting to form small budding sites. Even when watered, plant is turgid and very healthy looking.

Spector76 Plant is stretching. Bud sites stacking. White hairs in clusters at top of budding sites. Looks very healthy. Runoff PPM’s are VERY HIGH - 4000ppm! Flushed twice with regular filtered water, runoff is down to 2000ppm. Plants look great with no signs of salt buildup. 5-Gallon fabric pots are likely “stacking” notes in the soil.

Spector76 This is a hobby grow, on a windowsill with led supplemental light, no tent, and by no means optimally tuned for growing. That being said, it’s fun and it’s working. I haven’t done a grow in 7 years, so I’m back to making mistakes; this one I literally decapitated after fming, delaying growth for about 2 weeks. I’m only watering about 1.5 litres of 6.1PH water @ 900-1100ppms, as the soil remains moist for days. Plant shows little growth vertically but I’d turgid and upright, never drooping - ever. I think my watering technique could be improved by watering very slowly over the course of 12 hours, instead of a slow 10-minute dump. My other girls are in DWC, and are about 1 week behind this one, but are taking-off with explosive foliage and vertical growth, with bud sites beginning to stack. This is my first time using Fabric Pots, and I’m familiar with DWC, so any pros want to be nice and give me tips that would be great. P.s. I know my fan distance isn’t perfect and my environment isn’t a garden - it’s my windowsill, so keep that in mind when being critical. I’m just having fun, not trying to show off.

Spector76 Not drinking much - used to smaller pots needing more water. Have stunted root development by overwatering. Not going to water until pot is lighter and I’m sure the bottom isn’t compacting. Added some perlite to help dry things up a bit. Raised lights a bit and took away fan, seems to be happier. We’ll see. I anticipate more growth later half of this week. Let pot dry out nicely; watered on Wednesday March 5 (2025). Started watering at 10AM, 2 hours after lights on, and watered 500ml/hour, slowly throughout the day. Runoff started after about 5 litres, with a high Ppm count (/300). Flushing with a bit more straight dechlorinated water, to get the runoff ppm‘s down. Runoff is about 5% at 7:30PM

Spector76 Watered and fed last Wednesday and haven’t needed to since. New buds are still growing, white hairs and all despite the fact that the plant looks like she’s finished packing on weight. Going to water and feed lightly tomorrow, with the addition of AN’s “Overdrive” to see if it works. Trichomes are showing, but not much oil or resin production or smell. Made many mistakes on this one, but it’s all a learning curve. Looking forward to reaping the bounty of my harvest! Instead of spending on nutes, boosters, and accessories lol (and power…).
