Moby Dick & Critical Jack (Autopot)

WEEK  8 - 27/3/2021 - 2/4/2021 27/3/2021 - made a bug decisions today to top all the plants again to allow 16 main colas. Wish I had done it earlier to cut down veg time. Eh it's just another additional week of veg. So for Moby dick, plant 1,3 and 4 topped to 16 main colas. As for critical Jack, only plant 1 and 3 topped to 16 colas. The other two are still shirt and small. Maybe I might keep them at 8 colas. 2/4/2021 - 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Silicate - 4g/10L - 30g Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml pH - 6.24 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 25 All the plants are looking great! All the topped plants to 16 colas are growing well but the stems are still weak and thin. Even plant 2 Moby Dick has managed to recover and the same height as the others. So another week of Veg then flip to 12/12! All together 9 weeks of veg. I could have flipped to 12/12 by week 7, if I didnt screw up plant 2 and didnt make the late decision of 16 colas instead of just 8. I think I might need to do a total flush at week 12, since at week 6, few plants started showing nutrient lockout issues. Plant 2 Moby Dick roots have somehow penetrated the copper disc at the bottom of the pot. This will become a major issue if the roots start clogging the valve. From the forums, the only solution I can find is using a pot sock which is lined by copper. That's going to take some time to use forwarding company to reach my country. Meanwhile I have to check the pot every few days and remove the roots as they grow out of the pot. The longer I grow in Autopot, the more I miss growing in DWC. Did not see these many issues with DWC. I need to figure out a good RDWC build compatible with my grow space for my next grow.
