Banana Blaze Auto

UPDATE - 24th March, Wed The week has been good, mainly due to the sample I was sent from onestopgrowshop.com of the plant magic evolution 2.0 in a solar spray. Saw the difference the light cycle after. I think it was that, in combination with the microbes that have made the difference. Also iv been watering the soil auto with a 200ml measuring syringe giving it minimal amounts of water whilst it’s stil small, squirting circles around the edges so the roots spread outwards. The one in the black hempy bucket obviously hasn’t reached the res yet and because it wicks up moisture and I think i put a top dress of castings on top so the water/air holding potential of the coco is changed. I think the microbes are doing their job because the plants are growing fine, especially the one in soil looks happy as Larry, trouble is, it’s in a pretty small pot probably a 3 gal so the plant ent going to be a monster. I’m going to try and fim again as soon as I get good grow shoots again as I want it to spread outwards and you gotta be quick with auto’s. I just want the hempy ones to actually reach the reservoir and take off like the photo - ayahuasca purple has. I ordered a load of those coco expandable compressed seed starters that come and you soak them and they expand for one chamber of my propagator, I also bought some branded Root Riot starter cubes but iv nothing to sit them in as my propogator is a long tray underneath with three seperate mini-ish propogators. About the size of a 6 pack egg carton- which is what I was planning on using to hold it all in place inside the propogator. I’m just a little worried about the fact they are made of cardboard and will soak up the water. I suppose I could give it a really thick coat of acrylic paint so it seals the card. I dunno anyway, my point of explaining all that is I’m going to just straight plant my seeds into these. When i see roots, I will use the mini hempy buckets I made from old foot tubs that m+s sell their chocolate brownie bites and stuff in. Also the clothes whitener I use comes in them so iv plenty. The roots love it, expand quicker and more compact. I’m also not going to stop at the size I’m growing in now. Iv seen some nice square opaque plastic tubs with a lid that is like to buy that are 18 litres so I’ll step it up to that after not very long at all in the 11 litre tubs. That’s why my barneys photoperiod is doing so well, because I used that method with that plant. I also got one of those GHE Ph testing kits. They are meant to be pretty accurate and let’s face it, with what I’m doing with microbes already even getting it into the hydro ball park would make less work for them to do. I just need to get more patient at waiting when I add ph down (it’s always ph down as my water is hard as fuck and comes out at roughly ph 7.5 if my first ever measurement of the electronic ph stick when I got it is to be believed.) Even though I doubt I will use it every time it will be useful be able to keep some water that Is roughly in the right range. I think that’s all I have to ramble on about now so I’ll go!

Genetics would have to be stable though
