First time Autopot

Things are progressing well. I’m Top feeding until i have some runoff to establish the root zone. Hoping to have it in the auto pot system in the next couple days. PPFD 200 Duration 24/0 EC 2.0 PH 5.8 VPD 1

Week 2 Day 9 the roots were getting close to the bottom. So I transplanted into a 5 gallon fabric pot. Made a gallon of nutrient solution. Once it runs out I’ll slowly start upping the EC and PPFD Dry seed in coco Ph5.8 EC 2.0 PPFD 150 VPD 1.0

Week 3 Update: Days 14-21 3/6/25 Day 1: I tossed dry seeds directly into some coco to see how they would respond without soaking or using a paper towel. The system is now fully operational, with the air pump and aqua valve running as they should. I’m pleased with the progress so far! - EC: 2.0 - pH: 5.9 - PPFD: 375 - Light Duration: 24 hours Day 16 update. - EC: 2.5 - pH: 5.8 - PPFD: 380 - Light Duration: 24 hours

3/19/25 420 Autoflower Scrog Method. First selective defoliations to expose nodes. One more week and I will strip her down and flatten her out. First time scrog so we’ll see what happens. Will do some leaf tucking. Overall happy with shape and size. Mixing nutrients in 2 gallon bucket. 5 tsp canna A/B 4 tsp Cannazyme 2 tsp Cali magic.

Week 5, still in veg. Starting to show pistals. Still tucking and selective defoliating. Next couple days should continue to stretch before I flatten for my first auto scrog grow. Update: 30 days ago this was a dry seed. I set out on a mission to see if I could scrog an auto with as good if not better result then just letting them do their thing. Having never done this before it was a bit nerve racking. But then at the end of the day worse case I start over if it doesn’t work. Follow along as we see it hay happens when you scrog an auto in a 2x2 tent with a 5 gallon autopot xl system. Update: Alright, this little lady is responding well to the defoliation, super cropping, and the addition of a floating scrog! In the last three days, she has consumed two gallons of nutrients, which indicates it’s time to increase the feeding schedule. - EC: 2.8 - pH: 5.8 Let’s see what happens next!

Six days after my first super crop and everything has recovered nicely. I would have thought with all that stress it was sure to stunt/ early flower. But it has not. I’m impressed. Had to get a bigger tent. Raised the DLI. Hopefully we’ll start see some stretch soon. Nice even canopy
