Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops

[2-Scoops]

Minty i dont know if its my pc or or not but those vids are hard to watch i get about 3 seconds without it stopping before it skips about 5 seconds and starting for another few seconds, maybe ikts site cus this site is slow as feck in copmparison to other sites i use, i just don`t know mate

The middle one looks a bit light in colour, maybe the one you dropped a bit of shock or hungry feck knows tbh but up ferts anyhow to around 1.0ec no higher, they`ll be good at that now going by looks and up feeds to every few days now roots will have spread a wee bit. Could do with these under more power light wise now too imo, it will fatten those leaves up quicker :)

Hey 2-Scoops Buddy,

I have raised the video streaming issues as this is not something I have been currently involved in but might have too get involved shortly ;o)

Gonna post you some static pics in the meantime so sorry for the amount of images but thought this might work better until we can sort out the video issues:-










I tied them down a little as the topping was not 100% clean on the final two I did and some stuff was growing so (guess I just learned FIMMING by mistake) thought I would give it a fair chance:-





In terms of moving them under the larger light mate, this is something I have planned although just waiting on a couple of 4" RAM duct fans to mount on the intake and extract from the main loft area to cool the overall ambient temps up there. Once these arrive (couple of days) I will remove the spare pot from the Hydro grow and move in the AutoPots.

I kinda want to top them again before moving them as once they are in the main tent they are not going to be as accessible anymore. What do you think mate?

I`m not happy about that green wire on one it could hinder new growth, im not sure tbh but i try to put ties under stems or leaves you`ll see better where ive drawn line on picture for you.

I try not to tie them back until they are big enough to reach edges of pots but either or should do jobby ok and i take your point about topping and opening them up cus of that. It does look like you`ve FIM`med that top yes.

As for topping again tbh they shouldn`t need doing now, all point of LST is so all smaller lower growth catches up and produces numerous tops just like topping lots of times but better cus their`ll be many more tops doing LST over doing some topping a few times not only that LST takes alot less time to produce lots of tops and keeps plants nice and small, where as topping you top and you wait a few weeks or so for new tops and then you top those again and whatever others needs doing and so on, well that`s if your topping for lots of tops. Ideally you should be flipping to bloom from around week 5 or 6 weeks from seed sprouting when doing this LST malarky, well it`s what ive been aiming at anyhow.

Sorry for the lack of updates but nothing much has changed recently as both of my solutions to cool the loft have failed to arrive. The original portable AC unit is still stuck on a really slow train apparently on it's way to Germany and the two 4" RAM inline duct fans I ordered are still sitting with PayPal under a payment dispute as the supplier is failing to even respond to emails etc and now my money is tied up with them so I can't even order alternatives...

Anyways, the Water Melon Wedding Cakes are still sitting in the airing cupboard and while not 'excelling' they are doing all right and I have been making the most of the time to practice some LST etc. so also decided to top them again in an attempt to keep them low for now and hopefully produce more of a stable base for once they do move into the tent.

I totally missed this post! Sorry 2-Scoops mate...

Ok, after seeing this gonna go review the tie downs but I'm really sorry mate as like I have already posted, I did top them again already- because, still learning and honestly didn't see your post - my bad. Hopefully that is not going to complicate things etc.

Another 'lame' reason they are not in the tent at the moment is that I need help to get them up there of which my mate Willy is coming around tomorrow to pick up his seedlings and help move them up.

The heat is not totally under control but the humidity seems to be resolved now with the tent maintaining a constant range of between 40 - 50% RH.

*Edit* - Removed All the tie downs

Well no biggi and tis all good stuff mate. You`ll just have to let the topping grow out properly for a few weeks and more before flipping now, but yes just carry on tieing stems back to sides of pots when they are big enough to get their and tie any other new shoot growing from those down that needs tieing if it`s getting too tall and your watching height rather than topping. Ideally you should wait till stems are big enough to reach sides of pots then do it in one go, give them 2 or 3 weeks more veg and flip with a little defoliation inbetween is my opinion of how too, but it all works i suppose Minty so jobs a good en

What a fuck up with all your equipment. So can you not get them in your room under light and get systyem running in next week or so even without the stuff :)
