Automatics_Gourmets After a mishap during the first run, it was about time for another go with the Banana Cream Cake XL Auto. 🍌 A big thank you to @Sweet_Seeds for providing the seeds – you’re brilliant! πŸ˜πŸ’ And as if that weren’t enough, we’ve also had the chance to put Rooties’ pots through their paces. Over the last two years, we’ve tested 17 different manufacturers’ pots and haven’t really been satisfied with any of them so far. πŸ—‘οΈβ™»οΈ That seems to be changing now, as even our first impression was overwhelming. πŸ’«πŸΎ The Banana Cream Cake XL Autois now in the β€˜15l Living Soil Pot’, which, as well as being superbly made (including zip), features three different moisture zones. The standard version (without the three zones) might be enough for us, but we’ll find out when the next grow starts. 🌱 # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # πŸ₯¦ Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively πŸ₯¦ Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out πŸ₯¦ Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration πŸ₯¦ Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time 15-litre Living Soil pot: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets 15-litre pot β€˜High Edition’: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-high-edition-mit-reissverschluss?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Automatics_Gourmets The first week is over, and after seven days Saturn finally gave her some water again. πŸŒ±πŸ’¦ The soil is drying out noticeably more slowly and more evenly. πŸ‘ # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # πŸ₯¦ Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively πŸ₯¦ Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out πŸ₯¦ Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration πŸ₯¦ Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time Check: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Automatics_Gourmets Despite the heat, the little plant is doing well. 🌱 However, as it couldn’t yet support the weight of being sprayed several times a day, it was given a little support. 🚿 πŸ—οΈ # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # πŸ₯¦ Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively πŸ₯¦ Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out πŸ₯¦ Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration πŸ₯¦ Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time Check: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Automatics_Gourmets Fortunately, the heatwave is over, so the plant can now thrive a little better. 🌦️ A small floor fan has at least helped to cool the pot a little, and the fabric pots have prevented it from drying out. ?πŸ’¨ # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # πŸ₯¦ Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively πŸ₯¦ Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out πŸ₯¦ Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration πŸ₯¦ Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time Check: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Automatics_Gourmets Saturn hadn’t realised that less water also means fewer nutrients, which is why the fertiliser plan was adjusted slightly upwards.πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬ In addition, only a few larger leaves were removed from the lower part. πŸƒ # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # πŸ₯¦ Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively πŸ₯¦ Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out πŸ₯¦ Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration πŸ₯¦ Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time Check: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Automatics_Gourmets On day 35, the plant is finally showing the long-awaited signs of flowering. πŸ’ Only a few of the larger leaves have been removed; otherwise, the plant is growing without any problems and very evenly. πŸƒπŸŒ³

@Automatics_Gourmets, good reminder to keep an eye on nutrient usage during veg phase πŸ‘

Automatics_Gourmets commented4d ago
@wolfvb, Water consumption for the pots has virtually halved, but the plant’s need for nutrients remains the same. πŸ˜‚

@Automatics_Gourmets, my outdoor plants are drinking like no man business, I have to water them sometimes multiple times day. One of them drinks 3L a day for 10L fabric pots ☠️ I wanted to replant her but she is like 2m now
