Apple Strudel Auto

Aeromatics I am adding this beautiful girl a bit late, as I have been focused on my Z-Up Auto and Northern Lights Autopot diaries. However, I started a bunch of variety in my 4 x 4, so I thought I should add them here, since they are looking great! I sprouted Apple Strudel in an Organiplug and grew her in a quart-size pot until day 14. At that time, I transplanted her into a 2-gallon of Happy Frog soil. I sprinkled Mykos on the established roots (it looked great!), and she has taken to the transplanting nicely. This is my first grow using Dolomite Lime as a precaution to prevent PH swings in Happy Frog as well as CalMag issues using distilled water. Let's see how she goes! I hope for a nice yield and some delivious fall terpines!

Aeromatics Keeping this one super simple! I gave 500 ml of water on day 20 and 20 - 2.5 ml Ventana Plant Science Support and 1 ml Tribus. I'll start adding some veg nutrients at the end of week 4, but given I transplanted her from a 1 gallon to a 2 gallon at the end of week 2, the soil still has plenty of nutrients in it! Plus, I added dolomite lime so we should HOPEFULLY be good with using the distilled water. I did some minor training to try and keep her as a nice bush and she is already responding well to the leaf tucking and tie down of the main cola. I am going super simple here, as she is in a tent with 9 other plants haha. Let's have a great week 4!

Aeromatics She has been growing well! I had to skip a week of posts due to a trip and vacation, but she survived my time away well. The biggest change I made was starting to work with the AC Infinity Self-Watering Pots. I've been reading alot about these, pros and cons are aplenty, so I am giving them a go. Mainly I am having such amazing success with my autopots, I want to see if I can replicate a bit with these or if I should just get a Autopot xl x4 setup for my 4 x 4 and live the dream. I have my first fill of the reservoir be just Ph balanced with Ventana Plant Science Support (CalMag). She drank it up very fast! Then I decided to try and see how she would uptake VPS nutrients from a bottom feed with the wicking, so I went with a light grow mixture and replenished the reservoir with 2 more liters this morning (Day 38 - 10/11). My 2 L recipe was: Support 1.25 ml/L Grow 0.75 ml/L Flower 0.25 ml/L The top was also looking dry so I gave her 500 ml of water with .5 of support and .5 of Tribus for a boost. These are very new for me so there's going to be a steep learning curve! However, I think to try and avoid overfeeding, I am going to restrict myself to a topfeed only once a week strategy and stick with a calmag only water in the base. Let's see how it goes!

Aeromatics I maintained my reservior at 2/3 levels but am looking to switch to flower nutrients over the next week! It looks like one stem may have been pollinated from a few stressed hermies that I removed earlier in the week, so I clipped it off. The rest is looking alright with a slight calmag issue. I top watered with 500 ml with 1 ml of Ventana Plant Science Support and .5 of Tribus. I think we are going to have 4 massive colas here!

Aeromatics Kept is very simple this week trying to stack up some CalMag while she started to build up some flowers! She is looking great and is really loving the self-watering pots from AC Infinity!

Aeromatics Easy full flower mix reaching to about .7 ec and 6.4 PH! She is drinking like crazy from the self-watering reservior. I am having to top her off to keep her 2/3 full almost every other day. I let her dry back the other day but I am heaitant to do that again due to the roots almost looking like hydroponics at this point haha! They have expanded into the reservior so I think I will keep it fairly full the rest of the grow and have some fun with it heading into week 9.
