Sour crinkle + 3 bears OG Autoflower

Enkell1420 This is the second week of growth (W7-14) The light schedule is 20/4 because of mature plants that were already on that schedule. Normally I would run them on 24/0 for at least the first 4 weeks. Water: This week I hand watered twice on day 9 or day 12. Before every hand watering I spray the topsoil until it's slightly moist to break the hydrophobic layer. Day 9 I watered 800ml water with 0.5gr/l of bactrex Day 12 watered 900ml plain water Light: To measure the light I use PPFD and DLI. Unfortunately I don't have a expensive quantum par reader so I use the Uni-t lux meter paired with Photone app hack. PPFD average: 212 DLI average: 15 I heat the tent with a oil radiator (this week) and I also have a dehumidifier in the tent to keep the humidity around 60-65% My exhaust kicks on with my dehumifier controlled bij a inkbird humidity controller and my heater in controlled by a trollmaster temp controller. For air movement I use spider farmer EC motor fans. My autopot flexitank is covered with bubble plastic and radiator foil to keep the water temp stable (already in use for older plants).

Enkell1420 So week 3 (DAY 14-21) is in motion and it's the week of the first Biotab fertilizer tablet and heater change to combat high humidity. This week I removed the sick 3 bears OG plants from the grow. Biotabs: Day 15: All 3 plants got their first tab which i pushed in deep in the soil. The reason I push them in deep is because of the autopot bottom feed system. I water them with 1L water + 0,5gr bactex Day 18: All plants got 1,5L plain water. Light: PPFD average: 220 DLI average: 16 This month is going to get heavy with a lot of blackouts and constant 90-100% humidity. My dehumidifier doen't work on it's own so I decided to combine it with a simple fan heater which dries out the air even further. So they both heat and dehumidify at the same time.

Enkell1420 week 4 (day 22-28) This is the week of the second Biotab fertilizer tablet, early flower signs and turning on of the autopot system. Light: Mars hydro FCe 4800 PPFD average week: 320 DLI average week: 24 Biotabs: Day 22: All 3 plants got their second biotab fertilizer tab pushed deep in the soil. Do this slow and steady! Water the pot with 1,8L water + 0,5gr/l bactrex + 10ml/l orgatrex Day 24: Turned on the autopot system. I like to wait with this until the plants have leaves that reach the end of the pots or when they are at the fifth node. After turning the system on and having fed them with the mix above the plants started to grow FAST! Day 25: Very early flower signs. Day 26: Power was out for 4 hours. At this time the humdity spiked to 95% and the heat dropped to 10 degree celsius. Day 27: WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT FIX YOUR TIMER STUPID! Notes for the autopot system: The water in the tank is heated by the room and is plain tap water with no ph adjustment. My water has low PH and EC. When the water temp rises I top it up with cold aerated water until it reaches about 20-21 degree celsius.

Enkell1420 Week 5 (day 29-34) This is the first week of preflower, Mayor blackout and PK booster revival microbe revival tea. I also decided that I will not perform any training method this time and grow the plants like the christmas trees they want to be. Light: Mars hydro FCe 4800 PPFD average: 340 DLI average: 24 Day 31: Turned on the airdomes. I use them together with the airbase. I have the pump in the tent on the floor raised just above the autopot tray water level. Day 32-33: MAYOR BLACKOUT. The power was out from 22:00 day 26 till 15:00 day 27. So the power was out for a total of 17 hours. At this time I was convinced that this was the end of my grow. With pain in my hart I said goodbye to my girls. When the power came back on I was relieved to see that they were still alive and kicking! The temps went down to 9 degrees celsius and the humdity was around 100% at this time. After this I decided to buy a generator because this really sucked! Day 33-34 When the power came on I began to make a Biotabs PK booster tea with the idea to kickstart the microbes again. I was planning to do this later in flower but learned that starting early is not a bad idea at all! So i brewed the tea for 24 hours and half an hour before finish I added the microbes The mix: 15gr/l PK booster compost tea 5ml/l Orgatrex liquid feed 1gr/l Bactrex (half hour before end of brew) 1gr/l Mycotrex (half hour before end of brew) Note compost tea: when starting brew I turn off autopot system and the airdomes. 24 hour later I hand feed the compost tea after lightly spraying the soil to make it less hydrophobic. 12 hours after the feed I turn on the sytem again Note autopot: I use individual valves for my autopots. If you use them water stays in the tube and gets hot over time. What I do is check the temp of the water, adjust and run through the line a little bit before turing on the individual valves.

Enkell1420 Week 6 (day 36-42) This is a easy week. The week of PK Booster tea and light on the ceiling. Light: Mars hydro FCe 4800 Placed the lamp on the ceiling of my tent because my plants got to big! PPFD average top: 406 PPFD average middle: 289 DLI average top: 30 DLI average middle: 21 Day 41: BioTabs PK Booster Compost Tea: amount: 750ml per plant 15gr/l pk booster 5ml/l orgatrex 1gr/l bactrex (half an hour before end of brew) 1gr/l mycotrex (half an hour before end of brew)

Enkell1420 Week 7 (day 43-49) This is the week of extra orgatrex feed, 2 dehumidifiers and plants too big for lamp Light: Mars hydro FCe4800 PPFD average top: 525 PPFD average middle: 359 DLI average top: 38 DLI average middle: 26 Day 44: Extra orgatrex feed! Starting now I will give an extra low dose of orgatrex feed between every compost tea. Thre cycle is compost tea on wednesday and orgatrex on sunday The reason why is because in my first run I had deficiencies with the original biotabs recipe. I only had like 14 liters of soil and waited with my compost tea for week 3 of flower and this created some problems. On top of that I had some calcium issues. The extra orgatrex feed is 2-3ml/l bottom feed. I turn of the system until the pot is dry and then bottom feed 1L per plant. I leave the airdomes on! With this extra feed I dont have any calcium issues at all. Crazy because calcium is always looking for trouble at some point! Day 48: PK Booster Compost tea. amount: 500ml 15gr/l pk booster 5ml/l orgatrex 1gr/l bactrex 1gr/l mycotrex Christmas tree issues: My plants are getting too wide for my mars hydro FCe4800. If you don't want this issue training would be wise.

Enkell1420 Week 8 (day 50-56) This is the week of switching the plants to my bigger light, better weather and better humidity. Light: I swichted my plants to my bigger mars hydro FCe6500 light. This one covers an area of 120x120cm. PPFD top average: 620 PPFD middle average: 349 DLI top average: 45 DLI middle average: 29 Day 52: Biotabs orgatrex feed: 1L per plant Bottom watered 3ml/l orgatrex per plant. Day 55: Biotabs PK Booster tea Temp tea: 21.5-22.5 Amount: 1l per plant time: 24 hours Pk booster tea 15gr/l Orgatrex 5ml/l Bactrex 1gr/l (half an hour before end brew) Mycotrex 1gr/l (Half an hour before end brew) Weather: The humidity finally dropped below 90% outside what means that i can finally drop my humidity in my tent. I go from 50% down slowly to 45% and maybe less if i'm lucky.

Enkell1420 Week 10 (day 63-69) This is the week of last feeds and little less DLI. Light: Mars Hydro FCe 6500 percentage: around 60% DLI average top: 42 DLI average middle: 28 Day 65: Bio tabs orgatrex feed 1l bottom feed per plant of orgatrex (2ml/l) Day 68: LAST PK booster tea. Tea temp: 22 degree celsius (72 fahrenheit). sprayed topsoil with water before application to break hydrophobic layer 800ml per plant 24 hour brew 15gr/l pk booster tea 5ml/l orgatrex 1gr/l bactrex (half an hour before end of brew) Extra notes: biotabs. This is my first serious organic grow (after a practice run started a few weeks earlier) with biotabs. I decided to do no training and let the plants do their thing. Something I wouldn't normally do. I was very sceptical in the beginning using biotabs doing almost nothing and on top of all not measuring and adjusting ph. But what an amazing round is has been so far. I really like the simplicity coming from someone who has failed a lot over the years using synthetic nutes with shedules, flushing, adjusting, reading EC etc. Now my way too expensive PH and EC pens are collecting dust. (I do plan on adjusting ph next time and see if there's a difference) The don't panic it's organic style is working for me. I do have to say that I feed a lot more than the original recipe. I fed pk booster tea and orgatrex once a week from beginning of flower until now because in my practice run I had some problems with deficiencies and one plant that started hating me right to the end. I have very low EC/PPM water with a ph that fluctuates betweeb 5,9 to 5.0 after stirring. With the schedule above none of my plants showed calcium deficiencies once under intensive led. Mephisto with biotabs and autopots: Mephisto has some really amazing genetics! Combine them with biotabs and autopots and you have amazing growth and a amazing leaf to bud ratio. For beginning growers who just want to grow and learn without stressing the plants this is a amazing option. I didn't defoliate once and senescence is taking care of it on it's own. So long story short I am really pleased with Bio tabs, Mephisto genetics and Autopots! Recommend it for growers who like a organic more easy approach with buds smelling like christmas came early!

Enkell1420 Week 11 (Day 70-76) This is the week of no feed, high humidity, cooler water, temp and senescence. Light: Mars hydro FCe 6500 Percentage: around 52% PPFD top average: 527 DLI top average: 38 PPFD mid average: 325 DLI mid average: 24 Bio tabs: stopped feeding starting this week. last feed was day 68 Looking back I might have fed them one more time to extend the harvest window. High humidity: This week the bad weather has started again. I'm literally living in the clouds at the moment. The humidity rises to 100% so I temporary use 2 dehumidifiers in the tent to keep it under 50% It might be overkill but last summer almost all my indoor and outdoor plants got bud rot. So better safe than sorry! Cooler water, temp and senescence. The plants are starting the end of their cycle so I am experimenting with lowering the temp and cooling the water. Senescence is happening quick and I want the plants finished before I have no leaves left on the plant. This might be one of the downsides of having fewer leaves. To try and force them to finish faster I gradually cooled the water to 18 Celsius. The day and night temps are slightly cooler Day: 23-25 Celsius Night: 18-20 Celsius Amazing smell and change in fragrance (I might suck in describing the smell): The tent smells absolutely amazing. The sour crinkle 1 and 3 bears OG are filling the room and my carbon filter can't keep up Sour crinkle 2 is less terpy and has a nice sweet smell but nothing really exceptional. She's also bulking a lot and is taking longer than I like. Sour crinkle 1 smell She had a sweet flower, light sour smell for a while. But the last days it transformed to a fruity deep sour/grapefruit aroma with a gassy undertone. I have to say I really like it on the vine! 3 bears OG This one I really like. She's heavy on the grapefruit/watermelon and a kushy/gassy undertone. After touching the bud my fingers stick and tastes like sour gassy watermelon for at least a couple of hours. Also really nice flavors on the vine!

Enkell1420 week 12 (day 77-83) This is the week of no nutrients. tapering of light intensity and trichomes check.. Light: I decided to play with lower light intensity a bit because I want the plants to finish soon. No real idea if it's going to work or not. Percentage 50-45 tapered off gradually during the week. DLI top average begin week: 35 DLI top average end week: 30 DLI mid average begin week: 23 DLI mid average end week: 20 Water: I gradually lower the reservoir temp to 18 degrees Celsius. The reason is to make them think the season has ended. Trichome check: 3 bears OG is finished end of this week. Trichomes are all milky and a slight percentage of amber. Sour crinkle 1 is almost finished. she takes a bit longer but is almost there Sour crinkle 2 needs to go a bit longer. She is really slow. Unfortunately I have to harvest all at once so she will probably never reach her full potential. Nutrients: I stopped feeding at day 68 and thought they would finish a bit faster. With this in mind I will feed them a bit longer the next round. at least to day 75. I am also thinking to start using silicium flash soil amendment the next round to make it even more easy to use with autopots. Next grow I need to go away for two weeks so the system has to be able to get the bulk of the nutrients out of the soil! Easy mode: This week has been real easy! Nothing to do except keeping the water around 18 degrees Celsius and checking the trichomes. The way I check the trichomes is to take pictures as close and sharp as possible with my camera and zoom in on the pictures on my laptop to check te trichomes. The growlights need to be off! So yeah nothing to do except letting the plants finish on their own. No fade feeding schedule or late flower bottles used is this grow!

Enkell1420 Week 13 (day 84-87) This is the week of shutdown autopot sytem and harvest. Day 84: On this day I turned off the autopot system with the airdomes. The reason is to let the plants use up a little bit of water before harvest. Day 87: HARVEST day! today is the big day and all three plants are getting chopped down in branches. My dry room is controlled and has a humidity ranging from 58-60% humidity and a temp range of 15-16 degreed Celsius. Because i live in a humid environment I use a 25l dehumdifier in the room. The plants are cut in branches because a whole plant hang would be impossible. the branches can't support the weight of the buds! The braches in a 4x4 tent spaced evenly with two fans on ultra low mode in the bottom and are exhaust fan also on ultra low mode to have some airflow. Nothing is pointed towards the buds! Now the waiting game has started and I will dry until the smaller buds pop off the branches without leaves strings. After that they go in grove bags because I can't burp for two weeks straight! Conclusion of this grow: Hands down the best quality, most fun an worry free run I have had in my growing carreer. I have over 5 years of experience in growing and have grown photos and autos with organic/synthetic bottled nutes on coco and peat and made my own living soil. I made my own drip system and flooded the whole room by accident. Made so much mistakes and ruined so much harvests that I started to think I would never get there. After my last dance with my ph pen and drain to waste system I decided to take a step back and take it easy! First I would like to thank Biotabs, Mephisto genetics, Autopots and Mars Hydro for making this run easy. Without dailing in your grow space and creating a steady environment I can't guarantee succes. But when dailed in the system works amazing. The biotabs carry the heavy lifting for you using the microbes as the backbone of the system. The compost tea's are amazing PK boosters which keep the system WORKING! The autopots keeps the pots watered all the time and the airdomes with airbase supply constant air to the roots. This really helps in a system where microbes need constant moisture to do their work. One note on autopots: I use a peat based medium and it gets WET! I use a 50/50 ratio of peat mix with perlite. If your medium is heavy use something to let the medium breathe! And at last Mephisto Genetics! In my opinion they are autoflower sorcerers. I let the pictures speak for themselfs but my god the smell and the terps are GREAT! So yeah not saying that this gives you the best plants ever or the biggest yield possible. But for the people that like to grow on easy mode and have really terpy results give this system a try. If you do and have questions feel free to ask!
