First Gorilla Grow (autos)

Sorry everyone for missing last weeks episode. I've been working a lot lately and haven't had a chance to get you some pics. This is the first week the ladies are in their permanent homes now. They get a decent amount of light during the day and are 7.5/10 in a safe place. As long as I'm careful with my visits, I shouldn't have t worry much about theft. I have a food safe drum that I have converted to store water in to minimize my trips back and forth. Should I worry about bacterial buildup in the water if I don't use it within a period of time? I have increased the amount of Mega Crop according to the feeding calculator on the Greenleaf website. The plants really do like this stuff. The amount of Roots Excelurator I use has not changed per the supplier recommendations. I decided not to use and techniques with the autos for my first run just t see how they preform straight. I'll defoliate when the time comes. Since these shouldn't grow too much taller I'll start to think of what I might be able to use to cover them to protect the ladies from rain as they begin to set buds and become more vulnerable to mold and disease. I was a bit nervous when I first moved the plants because we have a lot of deer in the area. The deer must not be interested in the plants once they become established. I'm glad I don't need to install fencing. That's about it for now. We have been having a lot of rain lately and I'm hoping that we get a few really nice days for the ladies to dry up and I can feed them again. Let me Know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by.
