Week 10 - 9/1/2021 - 15/1/2021
9/1/2021 - plant one connected to a 7 gallon container filled with 5 gallons of water mixed with 95ml (5ml/l) of Ripen. Made a 7mm hole just nice for a rubber grommet and a separate tubing for plant 1 autopot.
12/1/2021 - The smell has been getting stronger past week. I'm not sure if the carbon filter needs replacement or the plant smell is just too strong. Every time I walk pass the grow room, it smells like freshly baked cookies. But other times it smells like someone is cooking spiced meat or sausages. Weird terpene profile. With enough curing time, I'm guessing this is going to be one amazing smoke.
15/1/2021 - plant 1 removed from autopot system and flushing started with 3ml/l of flora kleen. This will continue for 3 days before harvest.
For plant 2 and 4 - GHE Ripen started. I just used the previous mix for plant 1 and diverted the tubing to plant 2 and 4.
The previous nutrient mix continued for plant 3 since its 2 weeks behind the other plants. Minor defoliation done for plant 3
Trichome inspection done for plant 4. I'd say its 70:30 cloudy/clear with minimal amber trichome. Hence why I decided to start ripen instead of another week of regular nutrient mix.
My current light cycle is 18/6. I'm on week 3 of flowering now. Is it possible to increase the light on duration to 20 hours or 24 hours now? Would it stress the plants?
Auto flowering plants are not wonder plants that can work 24/7!! they're just normal plants with a different trait!
I'd say leave it at 18/6 since you're already giving them 6 more hours of light than the usual photoperiod plants and you don't want to cause radiation stress to your girls!
If you want to try *with caution* increase the schedule to 20/4, I've heard of some people who grew in that schedule with conflicting opinions and experiences.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
@Psyfolk, Good luck on your harvest dude!😀 Let it cure properly. Totally worth the wait. It really brings out the terpene profile and a lot more smoother smoke.
My current grow on Autopot is not working out great though. I vegged for 9 weeks and on week 6, noted signs of persistent droopy leaves and nutrition issues. I concluded it could most likely be due to nutrient lockout and started top feeding with proper run off and within 2 days noticed significant improvement. So I guess, one of the challenges of Autopot can be nutrient lockout especially if your plant consumes nutrient heavily. Something to keep in mind if you do decide to give Autopot a try. 😀
