Autopot w/ Airdome-2 Radical Juice Autos

Thomas86 Off to a good start with the first week seedlings, blasting them with 100% light from about 60 cm away with the mars hydro TS1000 still going strong on its 3rd auto run. PH is kept @ 5.8 and EC @1.3, Letting the roots get established a bit better in the solo cups for a few more days with watering to runoff with runoff EC climbing to around PH 6.0

Thomas86 Have the EC up to 1.5 this week with PH about 5.7, runoff PH was creeping to about 6 So I adjusted slightly down, By the end of the week I transplanted into autopots sitting in temporary buckets to allow runoff for a few days before their final home in the trays when the leaves hit the edges, Pumping runoff water into a separate container with a handy little manual pump works good for me to minimize moving the pots around. so far so good, buried the one on the left a little too deep but seems to be doing good so far. Added Cannazyme to the Nute schedule this week.😁

Thomas86 Put the pots in the final trays, the hard part hand watering is done, Got the airdomes turned on pumping 1L/min from a boyu air pump during lights on. Day 17 since seedlings broke thru coco. Messed up counting m days lol but its Day 21, plants were slow growing for a few days but have vigorous growth again, had to increase air flow to airdome, keeping ph in res between 5.5 and 5.8, Ec @ 1.8, very slight tip burn from pushing the Ec so I wont increase just yet, So far so good😀

Thomas86 Plants are doing good, hoping for a bit of a stretch for this last week of veg, I gently tied them over at the start of the week to expose more bud sites, maybe a bit late, So far they're quite bushy but I'm not planning on cutting anything off this grow or using a scrog net like previous plants, doing my best to keep the stress low, the temperatures and humidity have been great so far for this grow after battling a heatwave in the summer made keeping the tent difficult to cool. Havn't changed EC this week and letting PH Drift from 5.5 to 5.8 in the reservoir. Re calibrated my Apera EC/PH pen last week after noticing it was off a little. plants are drinking at a steady pace but not yet guzzling the water from the tank, got slight tip burn on new growth that seems to grow out as the leaves get bigger and slight bleaching of upper leaves il keep an eye on, possibly Light burn or Getting used to the higher EC.

Thomas86 Started using canna boost and mono silicic acid this week, Gently tied back a couple of branches of the bigger plant, roots got past the root control and could clog the aquavalve and cause a flood so I got some potsocks ordered, hopefully they come before next week, put some foam mats under the trays to keep em off the concrete floor, some leaves have some interveinal chlorosis from when I was phing too low with an uncalibrated meter I think. Raised the EC to 2.0, Ph swings from 5.5 to 5.8

Thomas86 This weeks diary coming in late, I went on Vacation for 10 days leaving the plants completely unattended, I PH'd down to 5.4 before leaving and raised the lights 20 cm, I filled the reservoir completely to 47 liters and they drank approx 20L, when I got back the plants were okay but look a little pale and the Ph had drifted to 5.84 only slightly over the 5.8 max I try to keep, I think il bump up the EC and Calmag slowly and see how they respond.

Thomas86 Plants are filling out the tent, gently tied back a few more branches to let the light get into the canopy, Ec is quite high at 2.1 and the paleness from last week is getting better I think, Keeping the ph between 5.5 and 5.8

Thomas86 Bumped up the EC this week to 2.5 because the plants looked hungry, so far so good, Plants are getting bushy, Increased Calmag a little too, lots of bud sites developing, probably should have pruned or lollypopped but its a bit late so gonna see how it goes, Ph in the reservoir still drifting between 5.5 to 5.8.
