Theycallme_nips Planted directly into 5gal. After 1 week all 3 have solid growth, no stretching but leaves look a little light. First time growing in coco so I may have waited too long for first feed. With high humidity the fabric pots seem to be holding water for multiple days at a time at this stage.

Theycallme_nips Trying out the blumat system again. 24 hours in and no flooding yet. Water level does not look like it has moved much yet on the bucket but going to give it some more time. Plants look healthy overall.

Theycallme_nips Tried to set up the blumat system with drip rings but it never seemed to work. Water in reservoir had ph drift up so when finally fertigated they are showing slight deficiencies. No flowering yet but I’d imagine it is right around the corner. Pictures are from day 26. LST clips added only to meristems on day 27.

Theycallme_nips Blumat seems to be working finally. Giving only CalMagic ph balanced water as the lead tips were starting to show a bit of burn. Put a few more bud clips on the outside two. Original bud clip fell off the middle plant so going to let it grow naturally. Day 33

Theycallme_nips Right plant was taken off blumat. Was consistently droopy even when soil was wet or dry so now just hand watering. Has bounced back since. Left and middle are loving the blumat system but it’s getting tricky to keep nutrients in there for long enough before they begin to smell a bit. Started flower approximately 2/1 so probably not much more stretch coming. Probably need to flush slightly more frequently next time around as left and middle got slight nutrient burn but was caught early.
