Moby Dick & Critical Jack (Autopot)

WEEK 1 - 6/2/2021 - 12/2/2021 This will be my 5th grow if I include the failed Gorilla Glue. So I've been growing cannabis for over a year now. Crazy how time flies. Again, I put the RDWC idea on hold. Decided to upgrade the tent to a 4 x 8 Gorrila Grow Tent. I got another set of 4 pot Autopot but the XL version. So 4 Moby Dick on the regular Autopot and 4 Critical Jack on the Autopot XL. I decided to grow on Autopot again because it's less maintenance which would allow me to spend more time on the plants. I am going to try manifolding this time hoping that it would cut down on the veg time. I'll be using the same HLG 550 V2 for Critical Jack while for Moby Dick I'll be using the  Migro Aray 8 grow light. 3/2/2021 - 5 Moby Dick and 5 Critical Jack seeds from Dinafem Seeds soaked in 10ml/L Nitrozyme for 24 hours. 4/2/2021 - All 10 seeds placed between paper towel inside a humidity dome. Temp at 25, RH 80 - 90. 6/2/2021 - 8 seeds germinated in tissue paper. Germinated seeds transferred to Root Riot and moistened with more Nitrozyme.  9/2/2021 - 4 Moby Dick and 3 Critical Jack seedlings have developed cotyledons. All 10 seedlings in Root Riot transplanted to a party cup and placed in humidity dome. Feeding done with the following: 1L (0.26gal) of filtered water mixed with: Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 1.3ml Micro - 1.25ml/Gal - 0.3ml Gro - 0.6ml/Gal - 0.2ml Bloom - 0.6ml/Gal - 0.2ml Diamond Nectar - 2.5ml/Gal - 0.7ml Rapid start - 2ml/gal - 0.5ml pH - 5.9 EC - 1.46 Dome temp - 26, RH - 80-90 12/2/2020 - 4 regular pots and 4 xl pots filled with clay pebbles at the botom then above it a mix of Coco and perlite (60:40). I'm using Ugro coco brick which claims to have been washed x 2 and buffered x 1 with Cal mag. I noticed signs of calcium deficiency even early on for the previous grow. So this time, I used 5 gallons of water mixed with 7.5ml/gal of Cal mag to Coco it break it up. Then once the pots got filled, I drenched it again with 5ml/gal of Cal mag. Hope this will prevent Cal deficiency later on. Airdome buried in all 8 pots. I think I might transplant tomorrow. This is the part that makes me miss growing in DWC where you dont have to deal with heavy ass pots. But it's OK, once I turn on the Autopot system, it would be much easier.

WEEK 2 - 13/2/2021 - 19/2/2021 13/2/2021 - I lucked out on seeds germination. Out of 5 Moby dick seeds, 4 germinated and out of 5 critical jack, 4 seeds germinated as well. Even after a week, those two seeds just refused to germinate. So 4 Moby Dick seedlings transplanted to 4 regular pots and 4 critical jack seedlings transplanted to 4 xl pots. All 8 pots will be top fed until the roots have established before autopot system can be started. 15 gallons of water mixed with the following and each pots watered with 2 litres of fertigation : Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 75ml Micro - 2.25ml/Gal - 34 ml Gro - 2.25ml/Gal - 34ml Bloom - 0.6ml/Gal - 9ml Diamond Nectar - 5ml/Gal - 75ml Rapid Start - 2ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.04 EC - 1.09 mS/cm T - 27 16/2/2021 - 4 pots separated into its own section of the tent. So 4 xl pots with critical jack placed under Migro Array 8 light and 4 regular pots with Moby dick under HLG 550 rspec. The tent temp is at 30 now. I'm leaving the AC setting as it is because if I reduce the temp, the rh will reduce as well and 1 humidifier is not enough to cover the full 4 x 8 tent. Plus the plants are still in seedling stage so highish temp it's fine for now. So far so good. All 8 plants are looking great!  17/2/2021 - one of the Moby Dick is showing calcium deficiency but it is still growing, though slightly slower than the other. I'm not too worried about this. I think it should improve once the Autopot system is turned on. 19/2/2021 - Day 14 from germination

WEEK 3 - 20/2/2021 - 26/2/2021 20/2/2021 - 15 gallons of water mixed with the following and each pots watered with 2 litres of fertigation : Liquid Silicon - 1ml/Gal - 15ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 75ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 38ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 38ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 15ml Diamond Nectar - 5ml/Gal - 75ml Rapid Start - 2ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.06 EC - 1.19 mS/cm T - 25 23/2/2021 - 4 Autopot and 4 XL set up and system started. Airdome connected to airpumps (1 pump for 4 pots). The Autpot reservoir for the new XL is broken at the bottom. While waiting for the supplier to provide replacement, I used the existing reservoir for all 8 pots. Seems to be working fine. Reservoir mixed with the following: 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Liquid Silicon - 1ml/Gal - 20ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml Aquaburst - 1ml/L (3.8ml/gal) - 76ml pH - 6.01 EC - 1.07 mS/cm T - 25.4 The growth on the XL pots are still lagging behind compared to the normal sized pots. Hopefully once the Airdome has been started the root growth would pick up. Change of light setup - the XL pots are growing Critical Jack and is under the HLG 550 while the regular sized pots are growing Moby Dick and is under the Migro Aray 8. I have to say the Aray 8 is performing exceptionally. The Moby Dicks are loving it! 24/2/2021 - 2ml/L of chitosan foliar spray done just before lights off. 26/2/2021 - I initially wanted to top only the plants that have more than 6 nodes today but decided to top all plants while I'm at it. The critical jacks are still lagging behind compared to the Moby Dicks.

WEEK 4 - 27/2/2021 - 5/3/2021 2/3/2021 - All 8 plants LST readjusted. 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Liquid Silicon - 1ml/Gal - 20ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml Aquaburst - 1ml/L (3.8ml/gal) - 76ml pH - 5.93 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 25.3 3/3/2021 - 2ml/L of chitosan foliar spray done just before lights off.  4/3/2021 - All four Moby Dicks final topping done at the 3rd node. Second node and fan leaves moved entirely. Manifolding complete for all four Moby dick plants. As for critical Jack's, only plant 1,2 and 3 topped at 3rd node and second node removed entirely. Plant 4 internodal space is too close and the 4th node has just started appearing. I think I'll give another 3 days to grow a little to allow easier access to top.

WEEK 5 - 6/3/2021 - 12/3/2021 9/3/2021 - I was away for few days. When I came back, noted all 4 Moby Dick  was stunted and leaves appeared dry. Upon inspecting the res tank, I noticed presence of sludge in the nutrient mix. Removed the tubing and flushed with peroxide, only to discover a long and thick gunk obstructing the tubing. For both plants.  But why? I didn't use any organic nutrients or supplements. Strange. Plant 4 Critical Jack final topping done. So all plants have completed toppings and now it's just LST until flip. 10/3/2021 - Moby Dick plant 2 leaves have completely dried off and it looks like its dying! I think it's because of the peroxide I used to flush. I might have caused root burn stress from the peroxide. But it shouldn't affect the upper roots. I'm hoping it would recover. The Moby Dick Autopots are not filling up the nutrient well. There seems to be more sludge blocking the tubing. I decided to dissemble the whole system and clean of all the gunk for both Moby Dick and Critical Jack. I'll be using only 1 reservoir this time to minimize the risk of contamination. I finished off 4 litres of H2O2 7% cleaning the whole system. Truly a huge pain in the ass to clean everything. I really hope this issue doesn't recur. So 10 gallons of water mixed with the usual minus Liquid silicon. Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 50ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 10ml Aquaburst - 1ml/L (3.8ml/gal) - 38ml pH - 5.98 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 26 11/3/2021 - the plants are looking so much better today. But not so much for Moby dick plant 2. Almost all the leaves have dried out and dying. But the good news is I can see new growth from the nodes which means the plant might make it after all. Let's see how it progress the next few days. I removed all the dead leaves to avoid any risk of pests. 12/3/2021 - All 4 Critical Jacks and plant 1 Moby Dick, LST readjusted.

WEEK 6 - 13/3/2021 - 19/3/2021 13/3/2021 - 2ml/L of chitosan foliar spray done just before lights off.  14/3/2021 - The tank is finishing fast since its connected to 8 plants now. I'll continue replacing with new batch of nutes. Once I have my peroxide order I'll clean the other res and go back to 2 res for 8 plants. 10 gallons of water mixed with the usual minus Liquid silicon. Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 50ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 10ml Aquaburst - 1ml/L (3.8ml/gal) - 38ml pH - 5.98 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 26 Plant 1 Critical Jack lower nodes removed as they have started dominating the grow instead of allowing the main branch to grow. I should do the same for others in a few days. 15/3/2021 - 4g/10L of silicate foliar spray done for all plants. I've decided to do foliar application instead of mixing with the main res to avoid another incident of sludge obstructing the tubing. 16/3/2021 - minor defoliation done for critical Jack plant 1 and 4. Again noted presence of sludge causing obstruction to one of the autopot. This is becoming a nuisance. I think I'll change the whole tubing system with new ones once my peroxide order has reached. 17/3/2021 - silicate foliar spray done for all plants just before lights off. 18/3/2021 - silicate foliar spray done for all plants just before lights off. 19/3/2021 - complete overhaul done again. All pots removed from system. Including valves. Soaked in peroxide solution for an hour. Old tubing discarded and new tubing used. Man I really hope the res won't get sludgy again. I've omitted silicon and wetting agent from the res mix. Also I'm using water pump for both res turned on 24/7. If it does get sludgy again, I think this will be my last grow in autopot. 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml pH - 6.12 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 Moby Dick plant 1 branches are growing outwards and the middle part is unoccupied. I supercropped one branch inwards and another outwards. Did the same for the opposing side as well. Was it necessary? Of course not. But did it satisfy my itch? It sure did! 😁

WEEK 7 - 20/3/2021 - 26/3/2021 22/3/2021 - these past week or so, I've been noticing Moby Dick plant 3 leaves has been droopy. But there was no signs of nutrient issue so I just dismissed it and hoped it would recover by itself. However upon checking on forums, it's highly suggestive of nutrient lockout. Then today plant 1 and 4 are having droopy leaves as well. So I've decided to do a complete flushing of all 4 Moby Dicks. I mixed 20gal of water with 200ml of Flora Kleen (2.5ml/L). All four plants flushed with 5 gallons each. Only plant 3 runoff checked : Inflow ( 200ml Flora Kleen/ 20gal) - pH - 6.13, EC - 0.9 After first flush run-off - pH - 6.96, EC - 1.26 After 5 gallons flush run-off - pH - 6.44, EC - 0.92 So the run off pH and EC were not that far off. But after fully flushing , the Ph went down and the EC is almost the same as inflow. I am going to allow the plants to dry out properly before starting the Autopot tomorrow. 23/3/2021 - All 4 plants bounced back beautifully. Including plant 3. Woohoo!! :) The leaves are still droopy but significant improvement from before. All 4 pots reconnected back to Autopot and new batch of nutrient mixed with the following: 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml pH - 6.10 EC - 1.05 mS/cm T - 26 25/3/2021 - I initially wanted to maintain only 8 main branches of mainlining like the Blue Dream CBD grow. Then I thought since I have so much space and time to veg longer, I decided to allow the lower nodes to grow and allow 14-16 main colas instead of just 8. Kinda defeats the purpose of mainlining but fuck it, I'm going for more yield on this grow. So the 8 main branch of plant 3 and 4 of Moby Dick, supercropped outwards to the same level as the lower growing nodes. As for plant 1, I'll supercrop it in few days time as it is still recovering from my experimental supercrop last week.

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.

WEEK 9 - 3/4/2021 - 9/4/2021 3/4/2021 - all 4 Moby Dicks leaves are droopy again. My guess is nutrient lockout again. This is getting highly annoying. No choice but to flush again. I swear this is going to be my last grow on autopot. So stupid. 4/4/2021 - Even Critical Jacks are showing nutrition issue. Plant 2 looks like nitrogen deficiency while plant 3 has manganese/ phosphorus deficiency. I'm guessing nutrient lockout. Fuck autopot. I'll be hand watering myself until harvest. I will only hook it up to Autopot when I have to be away for few days. At least 8 weeks of hand watering twice/day for 8 plants is going to be time consuming and annoying. 5/4/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Gro - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml Fulvic acid - 5ml/gal - 100ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 20ml pH - 6.24 EC - 1.32 mS/cm T - 25 6/4/2021 - Since I started manual hand watering 2 days ago, all 8 plants look so much better. More vibrant and noticeable vertical growth. I am planning to do the 36 hours of darkness before flipping to 12/12. Kushman technique of removing the bud sites of all the colas up to the top 3rd node and leaving the fan leaves today. Lollipopping done for all plants before that. So the plants will have 3 days of recovery before the 36 hours of darkness. 8/4/2021 - All 8 plants look amazing! So much better since manual hand watering. So 36 hours darkness will start on 0000 (9/4/2021) to 1200 (10/4/2021). All the necessary precautions taken to reduce light leak from outside into the room. As well as led lights from electrical appliances in the grow room itself. If I can figure out an automated top watering system, then these 8 weeks of flowering would be so much more tolerable.

WEEK 10 - 10/4/2021 - 16/4/2021 10/4/2021 - Day 1 flowering! 13/4/2021 - Something came up and I have to leave my plants for 2 days. I thought of hooking it up to Autopot again but then I would have to do a major flush again and that would stress the plants. I think they can wait for 48 hours. I'll fertigate again before lights off tonight. 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 20ml Chitosan Olligosaccharide  - About 30 ml. I ran out of pH down and improvised with Chitosan. Managed to bring down the pH to 6.2. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome! :) pH - 6.21 EC - 1.28 mS/cm T - 26 14/4/2021 - The HLG 550 light seem a little dim these past week. After checking with a Quantum PAR meter, the PPFD was only around 400 mid section at 24 inches height from canopy. At first I thought it was the LED diodes but after disconecting the dimmer potentiometer, the PPFD went up to 1200. So it was the dimmer malfunction. So I just left the light as full brightness 24 inches above canopy since the girls are in bloom now, 16/4/2021 - Major defoliation done for all 8 plants. Basically removed any large leaves shading the lower nodes as well as to improve air circulation. Did supercropping on several branches to maintain even canopy.

WEEK 11 - 17/4/2021 - 23/4/2021 17/4/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 18/4/2021 - Plant 1 Moby Dick is the tallest and I have been consistently supercropping it to maintain even canopy with the other 3 plants. When the other 3 pkants have caught up with the growth, the suppercropped branch is straitened back and a soft twist tie. 21/4/2021 - I'll be away for few days. So I decided to go back Autopot for the few days I wont be around. I think it should be fine. Once I'm back, I'll go back to top feed and fertigate enough to have significant run off to wash off all the salt build up. 10 gallon of water mixed with the following - Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 30ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 3ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 22/4/2021 - the Autopot idea didn't work out. The new tubing I got was 1mm bigger than its supposed to be. And thus caused leakage at all the connections. Well back to top watering then. But the plants won't be watered for two nights. I really hope they'll be able to hold on till I come back.

WEEK 12 - 24/4/2021 - 30/4/2021 25/4/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 1.5ml/Gal - 30ml Bloom - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 Considering it has been 3 days of not watering, the plants look amazing! They stretched beautifully especially Moby Dick. I decided to use garden stakes instead of yo-yos to hold the buds later. Did major defoliation for all plants. and removed any lower nodes that wont be getting much light to avoid popcorn nugs. 28/4/2021 - I decided to give Autopot another go since I'll be away for another 3 days. Managed to get the proper size tubing. 10 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 38ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 1ml/Gal - 10ml Bloom - 3ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.00 EC - 1.02 mS/cm T - 25 29/4/2021 - All 8 plants hooked up to Autopot system. Copper pot sock used for all pots to avoid the roots blocking the valve. 30/4/2021 - so far all 8 plants seem to be responding well to the Autopot. For now. I think, I'll go back to top fertigation after 2 weeks. I'm confident somehow there'll be nutrient lockout again with prolonged Autopot usage.

WEEK 13 - 1/5/2021 - 7/5/2021 3/5/2021 - 2.5ml/L Florakleen mixed with 5 gal of water for each res tank. This will run for 24 hours. 6/5/2021 - Autopot system turned off and top watering done with the following: 5 gal of water mixed with 2.5ml/L Fulvic Acid and 0.5ml/L of Nitrozyme. All 8 plants watered with 2L fertigation. Minor defoliation done to remove any leaves shading the lower buds. 7/5/2021 - Autopot system turned on again with the Florakleen mix for another 24 hours. I really hope this helps to prevent nutrient lockout. All plants look amazing with no signs of issues.

WEEK 14 - 8/5/2021 - 14/5/2021 8/5/2021 - 10 gal water mixed with the following ( for each res tank): Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 38ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 0.5ml/Gal - 5ml Bloom - 4ml/Gal - 40ml pH - 5.90 EC - 1.02 mS/cm T - 25 12/5/2021 - Fungus gnats! Several times I've been noticing mosquito like insect flying around when I accidentally agitate the top layer of coco/ hydroton. I just dismissed it as mosquitos somehow got into my grow room. But upon closer inspection, it's definitely fungus gnats. This happened most likely during the duration I've been top feeding. With the high frequency fertigation of 2 times a day, the coco is always moist and this caused minimal algae growth at the top layer which in turn promoted fungus gnats to breed. More on plant 4 Moby Dick. Noticed a few on plant 1 Critical Jack as well. So far all 8 plants appear healthy. I might need to soak all plants with neem oil.

WEEK 15 - 15/5/2021 - 21/5/2021 16/5/2021 - 2.5ml/L Florakleen mixed with 5 gal of water for each res tank. This will run for 48 hours followed with Neem oil + Chitosan + hydroguard top feeding. 18/5/2021 - I decided to go back to manual top fertigation. Mainly because I've been noticing several leaves on Moby dick and Critical Jack yellowing and older leaves seem to be showing multiple nutrition issues. So the usual diagnosis of nutrient lockout again then. Together with Fungus gnat issue, I think it's best to top fertigate until harvest. Minimal defoliation done and several small lower branches removed for Moby dick plant 4. 19/5/2021 - 10 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 38ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 0.5ml/Gal - 5ml Bloom -4ml/Gal - 40ml Chitosan - 1ml/L - 38ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Neem Oil - 3ml/L - 114ml pH - 5.9 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 25 All 8 pots drenched with the neem oil mix. 20/5/2021 - All 8 pots drenched with the neem oil mix again. Mixing neem oil with other nutrients may not have been a good idea. After a day, the sight and smell is just horrible. Looks like cheese curd floating around. Next time if needed, I'll just water the neem oil separately with the nutrient mix. It was truly a bitch to clean the whole container. So oily and stinky.

WEEK 16 - 22/5/2021 - 28/5/2021 22/5/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 0.5ml/Gal - 10ml Bloom -4ml/Gal - 80ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml pH - 5.9 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 25 4 Moby Dick fertigated with 2.5 L each and Critical Jacks 3 L each. Noted run off very minimal for Moby Dick. Next fertigation I'll increase to 3L for each pot and try to get at least 10 percent run off. 24/5/21 - fertigation done for all 8 plants. Moby dick were given 3L each and its just nice with about 10 percent run off. Critical Jack maintained with 3L each pot. I'm still deciding if I should fertigate everyday or every other day. 27/5/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom -4ml/Gal - 80ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml Chitosan - 1ml/L - 76ml pH - 5.95 EC - 1.09 mS/cm T - 24 So I'll be fertigating everyday until I start Ripen. I think with Ripen I can go back to Autopot as it will just be another 10 days followed by 3 days of FloraKleen. 28/5/2021 - Trichomes inspection for Moby Dick and Critical Jack shows 50:50 cloudy/clear and no amber. I'm thinking after completing week 8, I'll change to FloraRipen for 10 days then Kleen for 3 days and harvest.

WEEK 17 - 29/5/2021 - 4/6/2021 1/6/2021 - All 8 plants watering done with 3ml/L of Neem Oil. Final use of Neem Oil. I managed to reduce significant amount of fungus gnats from the previous neem oil application + sticky papers. Its still evident on all the pots but very minimal. 2/6/2021 - 20 gal of water mixed with 5ml/L of GHE Ripen  - 380ml. EC - Day 1 of Ripen. This will continue for 10 days, followed by 3 days of Kleen then harvest!!!

WEEK 18 - 5/6/2021 - 11/6/2021 11/6/2021 - This week has been all about Ripen. 5ml/L of GHE Ripen watered to all 8 plants every day. The buds are bulking up nicely. Today is the last day of Ripen and 2 more days of Kleen before harvest!

WEEK 19 - 12/6/2021 - 18/6/2021 15/6/2021 - All 8 plants harvested as planned. Moby Dick Plant 2 & 4 - Wet trimming done as clean as possible for smoking purpose. Plant 1 & 3 - Only fan leaves removed while preserving all the sugar leaves for hash extraction purpose. Critical Jack Plant 3 & 4 - Wet trimming done as clean as possible for smoking purpose. Plant 1 & 2 - Only fan leaves removed while preserving all the sugar leaves for hash extraction purpose. It went surprisingly smooth. Finished all the trimming work for all plants in 1 day. Or 9 hours of continuous trimming to be precise.  Now let's pray to the Gods of Ganj that they wont dry too fast and cure perfectly.
