Not too bad a week I think, after more reading up its looks like I have a few popcorn buds and too late to snip them off? Mabey caused by heat stress as the temps went up a week or so ago during the heatwave. Will make good use of them whatever. Had a new grow question and had the Pineapple's identified as looking over watered. Think they are getting back on track again, poor things have had a hard life but amazingly have the frostiest looking buds under the magnifying glass out of the 3 so far! They are 65cm tall now and after 3 days drying out are on 1.5ltr a day with quarter dose of nutrients. Critical kush is again steaming on and happily growing away. I started to nip the odd leaf off here and there with no signs of any harm. I hadn't planned this to begin as had read that the autos don't like it and have too short a time to recover. Hopefully it won't stress it too much and the buds will thank me in the long run. Its drinking 3-4ltr a day full nutrients no problem. Standing at 74cm. Sensi #119 has done an S Club7 this week and reached for the stars! It was as tall as the Kush last week but has shot up to 85cm! Again I have nipped off a few leaves that were blocking off buds with no signs of harm. This one is very bushy and on 3-4 ltr and been on full strength nutrients but I gave it a little less on tonight's watering as it had the odd yellow tip here and there. Started with big bud into the feeds this week after trawling diaries and seeing what others are using! Don't know if I need it or not but hoping it won't hurt! Once again thanks for the input and advice it's all very much appreciated! If anyone spots anything please give me a shout. Cheers.

Using the autopot feeding system, basically the pots sit in water 24/7 will this not overwatering them?

Hey Cheezy, well that's what it looks like when the trays are flooded, but eventually the water evaporates or gets sucked into the soil and drunk by the plant. HOWEVER ! Right now you've got these seedlings, and the bottom feeding technique is NOT YET suitable for them. That's because their "root mass" isnt very massive yet lol their roots are too small for bottom feeding is what i'm trying to say. So for the first 3-4 weeks you should absolutely top feed , that means watering from the top. When they get established as young plants they'll be able to get bottom fed. Right now if you dont top feed them, they'll dry out and die. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi, anyone any experience of the pineapple express auto that could comment on how it looks? Just think its lacking something? Also would it be good to trim a few leaves from the Kush and #119? Both very bushy and have been leaf tucking but didn't want to start snipping.

Hey Cheezy. After checking out your diary I see that you are giving them plenty of food. The light green yellowing starting on the lower part of the pineapple is a sign of nitrogen deficiency which has to be caused by lockout from too much water. You can tell by the droopy leaves and fat thick puffy leaves from absorbing too much water. It is a good idea to get in the habit of lifting your pots so you can kinda get a feel for the difference in wet vs dry. You want to let them dry out quite a bit before you water so this doesn't happen. Let them dry out for a few days and they will turn around quickly. And as far as the defoliation. The leaf tucking is for the birds in my opinion. I have tried it and it is a constant battle. Just remove any of those upper leaves that are blocking light to the lower budsites. She will reward you with many more fat buds in the end. Best to start of taking a couple leaves and see how she reacts. Then take a couple more a day or so later. Overall your girls look great and with a tweak here and there you will get a great harvest. Good luck with them!

Thanks guys, sorry I should have been more clear I've been top watering and now they are a bit bigger (update imminent) I've switched it on. Basically the pots are flooded at the base constantly and it doesn't seem to go down at all As you say Dilligaf they are ment to dry and release more? If they start to look like they are getting to much I'll switch it off n go back to top watering! Many thanks for the input Dilligaf and Labossanova much appreciated 👍

@CRiSPrGrow, cheers I'll keep an eye on them, just worried that the roots don't get as much oxygen as they would like if they are flooded 24/7

@Cheezy_G, yeah i had to do a double take on the pics, lol great work so far, it's basically normal for the trays to get flooded, but it's not normal for it to be always flooded, try to make sure the release system is flat in the tray... keep an eye out , there might be a little stress from getting used to the bottom feeding but beyond that looks like you got a great set up cc. @dilligaf

Hey mate, adding air-dome makes sure that the roots are in water that has oxygen. It will help a lot with not over-watering them and drowning them. But roots must be all the way done in your pot and if everything goes as it should it will take around 2 weeks, sometimes around 10 days before that happens. Must hand water until then... I also think the air-dome will help if u hand water to much, at least if u give to much and there is a pool of water it will have oxygen and not drown the plants... I hand watered and over-watered, the domes saved me and dried my medium faster when I turned on the domes.

@ivik80, deffo gona add them in to the set up, next lot are germinating in readiness for the harvest! I've read they can increase yields by 30% so its gotta be worth a pop👍

@Cheezy_G, The thing about this hobby is we all never stop learning. I have overwatered my fair share of them. Sometimes it's nice to have a fresh set of eyes to check things out.
Cheezy_G
Cheezy_Gcommented5 years ago
@Wicked_Stix, many thanks, I'm kicking myself for overwatering them! I'll let them be for two or three days and then lightly water them again. I thought I was pretty safe with coco and perlite mix, that the excess would just run off. I think I will give the other two a wee trim tommorow as there are so many bud sights on them everytime I tuck a leaf its obscuring a bud elsewhere. Once again many thanks for the input cheers.

Not sure if you have watched Mr Canucks grow / from seed to stoned on YouTube but I've learned a lot from watching both of those guys. They both tinker with autoflowers ...

Removed a few leaves from the Sensi #119 and Critical Kush tonight. Hadn't planned to defoliate but there are hundreds of them so thought it safe to take off a few of the biggest blockers and hopefully not harm them too much. Will see how they respond in the morning after a night's sleep!

That's them started to flower so pumped the lights up to 600w and added 1ml of samuri bloom into the 1ltr of today's water. Just for a laugh I'm collecting the run off and going to give it to my greenhouse tomatoes!
