First Autopot run Mephisto & FastBuds🤪

nuciferine 18.04 fertigated coco, ph 5.7 and ec 2. Run off at 1.5 ec. 19.04 fertigated coco, ph 5.8 and ec 1.9. Run off at 1.7 ec. Planted Cbd apple Betty and Mephisto’s forgotten cookies x Strawberry nuggets, both in soil in solo cups. 20.04 Fertigated coco, ph 5.8 and ec 2.2. Run off at 1.9 ec. Jack herer in soil was collapsed, tied her to a stick, lowered the light a little and turned on the oscillating fan 30-30 21.04 transplanted them all, half into light soil mix watered with 6.3ph (these will develop in the tent and will go outdoors in a few weeks), other half in 100% coco with air dome an clay pebbles layer in the bottom, will run these in autopots when roots have reached the bottom. Fertigated coco with 2.2 ec and 5.8 ph. Some of them were really damaged during transplantation (roots were not fully developed yet and my dog ate a leaf from green crack) so let’s see how they proceed. 22.04 fertigated coco, ph 5.8, ec 2.1. Watered soil at ph 6.3. Lowered lights, ppfd now 230ish and dli around 18. Struggling to keep humidity up, now rh around 56% and temp went up around 77f. Both seeds in solo cups popped up but the forgotten cookies x strawberry nuggets had a helmet, tried helping her. 23.04 fertigated coco, ph 5.8 ec 2.1. No runoff just moistened it. Put the fans on timer like 15min every hour and put the humidifier to half speed. Humidity got to , 90% so put a timer on humidifier as well. Adjusted dli to 20. 24.04 fertigated coco, ec 2.2 and ph 5.8, run off at 1.8 ec. Plants are looking good, just waiting for them to reach the edges of the pot so I can turn on the autopot.

nuciferine 25.04 the mars hydro smart hub arrived, finally got temp and humidity under control. Fertigated coco, ec 2.2 and ph 5.8, run off at 1.8 ec. Watered a bit the ones in soil with ph 6.3. They look happy 27.04 fertigated coco, ec 2.4 and ph 6.0, run off ec 1.8. Hoping to turn on the autopots tomorrow, let’s see 28.04 adjusted dli to 30, 400 ppfd. Finally turned autopots and airdomes on! Filled half reservoir at 2.3 ec, ph 5.8. Moved Jack Herer Auto, Cbd 20:1, Green Crack auto and Cbd Lemon auto to the balcony, was planing on letting them at least 4 weeks inside the tent to build structure but with the autopots and air pump there was no space so they went 2 weeks earlier… let’s see how they take it. Been leaf tucking a bit the plants the last couple days, they seem happy and picking up speed. 29.04 so far everything looking great, the plants already grew in 24 hours. Ph at reservoir went up to 6.1, adjusted it back to 5.8

nuciferine 01.05 ph drifted again to 6.1. Corrected it again to 5.8. Much less maintenance since turning on the autopots, and the plants are loving it. Let’s hope it continues like this. No training so far besides leaf tucking. I wonder if toping it or not or if performing lst even or if I just stick to leaf tucking. I will try to let them have the best veg possible. 03.05 reservoir got smelly so I emptied and cleaned it. Made a fresh batch 20l tap water ( high initial ec 1.0) added 65ml canna coco a & b , final ec 2.4 and ph 5.5 to try to account for the drift later. Added 0.7ml bleach. Transplanted forgotten cookies x strawberry nuggets and cbd apple Betty to small pots in the balcony with the little leftover soil I had, about 5l each. Those are just to for fun, don’t care about yield. Watered all soil pots with canna terra Vega at 1.4 ec and ph 6.2 to run off. Did some lst with the soil ones. Struggling to maintain vpd in the tent with the heat (30c in the tent), running around 1.4, hope it doesn’t slow down them down too much. 04.05 plants look really happy in the tent and growing everyday. Reservoir ph went up to 5.8 and ec to 2.5, no corrections to be made. Took the lst clips out of the plants in the balcony, have my doubts now if it doesn’t end up stunting the plants. I’m letting them all do their thing, just doing some leaf tucking a couple times a day. 05.05 added 10l more water to the tank with 40ml canna a & b, ph -, 1 ml d block, 0.3ml bleach. Ec 2.6 and ph 5.5. Plants looking nice, just leaf tucked them a bit. vpd is way more stable with the humidity the plants are producing. Getting closer to flower. 07.05 noticed some white discolorations in some of the leaves. Pretty sure it happened when I was leaf tucking after mixing the nutrients, probably some ph down residue on the gloves or something like that. So far it doesn’t seem like anything to worry about. Plants are picking up speed and growing everyday. Ph in the reservoir drifted to 5.7 and ec to 2.7. Canna-cheese showed some tacoing in the top leaves so I lifted the light a little bit. Dli now around 40 and ppfd around 500ish. Keep on leaf tucking, it’s getting harder and harder with how bushy the girls are getting. The ones in the terrace look longer and skinny but happy as well. So far so good!

nuciferine 08.05 Day 22: stretch phase is here! Both indoor and outdoor plants are growing at a much increased rate and have started smelling. It smells deliciously green and aromatic. Fertigated the outdoor plants with the leftover nutrient solution. I noticed signs of thrips in a plant outdoors (cbd lemon) that was right next to a chili plant I have that’s struggling with it for a while, so… sprayed all of them with canna cure . 09.05 day 23: In the tent, plants look happy but I found them a little bit pale, so increased nutrient solution ec to 2.9, ph 5.7. Increased dli to 45ish, ppfd around 600. Still leaf tucking a couple times a day and can already see a wider structure forming. Outdoors the thrips seem to be spreading, saw them in the Jack Herer as well, so sprayed them all over again with canna cure. 10.05 day 24: just saw the first pre flowers pistils on the indoor plants! Added 10 more liters of water to the reservoir plus 45ml canna a & b, 1ml canna d block and 0.3ml bleach plus ph down. Total ec 2.9 and ph 5.6. 11.05 day 25: pre flower stretch is definitely here… indoor girls are drinking way more. Added 10 more liters to the reservoir, same deal as before: 45ml canna a & b, 1ml canna d block and 0.3ml bleach plus ph down. Total ec 2.9 and ph 5.6. I noticed that Mango smile has some purple stems, I wonder if the nutrient solution is too strong for her and the stressed her out. Specially considering she was the one to show the first pistils even though she is the youngest in the tent. Let’s try to ride it, chances are she will get hungrier when in full flower soon. In the meantime, noticed that some of the terrace girls had some rusty spots on the leaves which suggested lockout. Fed them following the canna soil guide recommendations, ended up with ec 2.0 and ph 6.4, watered to run off and to my surprise the run off ec was very high 3.0, and the ph low at 5.7, so I will be giving them only ph corrected water from now on until both ec and ph can get in a healthy range. 13.05 day 27: 10 more liters added to the reservoir, lowered a bit the nutrients after seeing some slight tip burn on some new growth. 40ml canna a & b, 1ml d block and .3ml bleach. For some reason I ended up having to put more ph down to bring ph to 5.5 and at the end ec was 3.1 even reducing the nutrients. Hope they take it well. Also added some clips to tie the main colas down. The outdoor plants look good but are still battling thrips. Sprayed them with canna cure. 14.05 Day 28: ph in the reservoir went up to 5.7 and ec at 3.1, but so far the girls are taking it well. Tucked some of the tallest branches with some more clips to open them up more in the middle. Especially of Canna-cheese, that is low key trying to take over the tent. Growth looks good, just slightly burned at the tips. This is the end of week 4 and I’m excited about what is to come, they look like they are going to get big! In the terrace the outdoor girls are doing good all things considered, getting taller everyday, still not in flower but this should happen soon. Thank you for following my journey! :)

nuciferine 15.05 day 29: plants looking really good, much bigger and the tucking with the clips seems to be working. They drank a lot so I added 10 liters of tap water to the tank, plus 40ml canna a & b, 1ml d block, 0.3ml bleach and ph down. Ec 2.9 and ph 5.7. 16.05 day 30: plants in the tent look beautiful and huge. Just added 13 more liters of water to the tank, 52ml canna a & b, 1.3 ml d block and 0.4 ml bleach. Ec 2.9 and ph 5.8. Now, the ones in the terrace are having it a bit harder, struggling with thrips and lockouts. Watered with water only, ph 7 and ec 1. Runoff ec was 3.0 and ph 6. Going to keep giving the water only until ec gets to a healthy range. Sprayed all of them with canna cure . 17.05 day 31: ph drifted to 6.1, adjusted it back to 5.6. Saw some dead leaves at the floor of the tent and discarded them. I’m thinking they probably got physically damaged when I’m tucking the taller branches away. So far so good! Just waiting for stretch to be over so I can do a big defoliation on them. 18.05 day 32: added 20more liters of water to the reservoir, same ratio of nutrients as usual. Final ph 5.5 and ec 2.9 20.05 day 34: in the tent everything is good, the plants are growing taller everyday. Today they measure around 90cm. Really excited to see them developing… now the ones in the terrace are still struggling a bit due to insects and lockouts. About the pests, I’m working on it still, plants got sprayed with canna cure again today. About the lockouts, i will keep on giving them water only until everything stabilizes. honestly I’m fed up with dealing with soil, it’s just so finicky… or really incompatible with my hard tap water. Either way, Coco + autopots are so much more fun! Just going to finish this grow and next round everything outdoors will be on a tray2grow with coco. 21.05 day 35: added 13 more liters of water + nutrients + canna d block + bleach to the tank in the usual ratios. Ec ended up at 3.0 and ph 5.7. Plants look good indoors, some slight tip burn but it’s all good, still stretching everyday. Outdoors the situation is a bit trickier, gave them water only, ec 1.0 and ph 7. The run off ec was really high at 3.4 even though they have been having water only for the last days. Did some bending on the main stem trying to stimulate the side branches, a bit forceful but it should be okay. Really excited for what the next weeks will bring! :)

nuciferine 23.05 day 37: added 20 more liters of nutrient solution + canna d block and bleach as usual to the tank. Started ok at 50% recommended dose now that we are at full flower, added 15ml pk to 20 liters. Ec 3.2 and ph 5.6. 25.05 day 39: plants are still stretching, with buds starting to form. Ph drifted to 6.0, adjusted it to 5.6. 26.05 day 40: plants entered flower in the terrace, gave them ph 7 water only, still trying to correct the lockouts. Run off at 6.1 ph and ec 2.4. I think one or two rounds of water only and they can get some flowering nutrients. 27.05 day 41: added 20 more liters of nutrient solution to the tank, reduced canna a & b to 4 ml/l and increased pk to 1.1 ml/l , along with canna d block, bleach and ph down bloom. Final ph 5.6 and ec 3.1 28.05 day 42: defoliated and cut the bottom third fully off. Another good week, hoping it continues likes this. I’m excited for what’s to come :)

nuciferine 29.05 day 43: in the terrace the plants are struggling a bit both with thrips and lockouts. So I watered them once again water only ph 7. Run off still high at 2.4 even though I’m giving them a lot of water. Sprayed them with canna cure. 30.05 day 44: in the tent the girls seem to be thriving after the defoliation, creating new leaves every minute and getting stickier as well. Added 20 more liters to the tank, lowered canna a & b to 4,0 ml/l and increased pk to full at 1,5ml/l. Along with ph down, canna d block and bleach. Final ph 5.6 and ec 3.4 01.06 day 46: installed the scrog net in the tent and added a second fan under the canopy for proper airflow. In the terrace, some leaves were dying probably from the pests and being given water only due to the lockouts so I cut them off and added yellow sticky traps. 02.06 day 47: added 10 more liters to the tank at the same ratio of last time, ph 5.9 and ec 3.4. Fertigated the plants in the terrace with canna terra flora + pk at half strength to run off. Ph 6.5 and ec around 2. Didn’t measure runoff. Sprayed them with canna cure. 04.06 day 49: end of week 7, both outdoors and indoors the girls look happy and trichomes are increasing in quantity everyday. Took some photos including some details of them That’s it, excited to see their development over the next weeks!
