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! 😍💝 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. 🗑️♻️ That seems to be changing now, as even our first impression was overwhelming. 💫🍾 The Banana Cream Cake XL Autois now in the ‘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 # # # 🥦 Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively 🥦 Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out 🥦 Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration 🥦 Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time [Affiliate-Links] 15-litre Living Soil pot: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets 15-litre pot ‘High Edition’: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-high-edition-mit-reissverschluss?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. ?💨 # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # 🥦 Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively 🥦 Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out 🥦 Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration 🥦 Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time [Affiliate-Links] 15-litre Living Soil pot: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets 15-litre pot ‘High Edition’: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-high-edition-mit-reissverschluss?ref=AutomaticsGourmetsts

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

Automatics_Gourmets A closer look at the trichomes made it clear that, apart from the central stem, there was still some time left. ⌚️ So this was removed, and Saturn gave her an extra week on top. 🎋 # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # 🥦 Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively 🥦 Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out 🥦 Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration 🥦 Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time [Affiliate-Links] 15-litre Living Soil pot: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets 15-litre pot ‘High Edition’: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-high-edition-mit-reissverschluss?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

Happy Harvest Day!

Banana Cream Cake XL Auto develops a highly complex flavour profile; alongside the banana flavour that gives it its name, there are also sweet, spicy notes, rounded off by a faint diesel scent. The deeply soothing and relaxing effect kicked in with the very first puff and became slightly milder as time went on. Absolutely brilliant!

Automatics_Gourmets The extra week was probably the right decision, and so the cute little plant has managed to put on a bit of weight after all. 💐🏋️‍♀️ In hindsight, it turned out that the experiment with the coconut fibre tablets wasn’t a good idea. At the very least, the surrounding mesh was far too tight, so the little roots couldn’t get through at first - and this massively slowed down the plant’s growth. 👨‍⚕️ 🤷‍♂️ Given the circumstances, Saturn is more than happy with the result.🎗️ # # # Find out more about these fantastic pots # # # 🥦 Ideal for growing with Living Soil in a grow tent – microorganisms thrive better, and organic fertiliser is utilised more effectively 🥦 Three zones for perfect moisture regulation – evenly moist substrate without waterlogging or drying out 🥦 Air-pruning for healthy roots – stronger plants thanks to optimal root aeration 🥦 Easy access thanks to an extra-sturdy zip – monitor root development and moisture levels at any time [Affiliate-Links] 15-litre Living Soil pot: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-living-soil-topf?ref=AutomaticsGourmets 15-litre pot ‘High Edition’: https://rooties.eu/products/15l-high-edition-mit-reissverschluss?ref=AutomaticsGourmets

@wolfvb, Water consumption for the pots has virtually halved, but the plant’s need for nutrients remains the same. 😂

@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
