HillCountryHempCo I started feeding liquid nutrients this week. Although I’m using Nature’s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest—so technically I could water only until harvest—I decided to begin liquid feeding in Week 3 at half the recommended dose. I also have a Tray2Grow Autopot system for automatic bottom feeding, but I haven’t activated it yet. When using liquid nutrients via top feeding, I’d need to turn the Autopot system off and wait until the plants absorb all the water in the tray before feeding from the top. Afterward, I’d have to manually turn the system back on. That seems like a hassle compared to just hand-watering and feeding. I could technically add the liquid nutrients to the Autopot reservoir, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of the system. The tank holds 25 gallons—enough to last a few weeks—but if I want to change or rotate nutrients weekly, I’d have to dump the remaining water and remix the solution each time. If I wanted to feed nutrients every other watering, I’d be changing out the tank every 3 days. Plus, liquid nutrients can cause buildup, so I’d need to clean the reservoir and all the tubing regularly. For now, I’ll stick with hand-watering and top feeding. I’ll only switch to the Autopot system if I need to leave town.

we added 10 more gallons of water pH 6.4 to the auto pot reservoir, which brought the total up to around 14 gallons.

Gave her Mikrobs and Silica mixed in a one gallon container. Shared the gallon between four of them by pouring it in the self watering bases.

We added a trellis net about 14 inches above the pots. It should be 18 inches above the pots but we needed it a little lower so we could utilize it now and start tucking some buds. Prior to this we used some bud clips and plant anchors.

I remove the AC Infiniti humidifier from the system and added a spider farm dehumidifier today in order to keep the relative humidity down.

The self watering bases are feeding the plants now and they were less than half full after a couple of days so I refilled the base today with PH 6.4 plain water.

During this week of flowering, I switched from Fox farm in advance nutrients to nutrients.

HillCountryHempCocommentedweek 415d ago
Most leaves were drooping and the top 5 inches of soil was dry so I fed her 500 cc of plain water (pH 6.4) to get her through until their roots reach the self watering basis.
