Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops

[Nanook]

I must admit ive not seen a good one before Jimmi, but I suppose like anything, its what you know.
I would love to see this go well... be a real lazy system if it did :)

34oz from his first grow with 8 auto plants here > https://www.t-g-c.nl/forum/index.php/to ... toextreme/

Great read, just finished that one - Dave did awesome.

84oz his second grow from 8 photoperiod plants here > https://www.t-g-c.nl/forum/index.php/to ... ope-style/

Will do this one tomorrow, that last one took way longer than I thought It would ;o)

Your not best listener either for following instructions but at end of shift i can understand that only too well myself, neither am i , but yes you can use those links as a reference for help with future grows maybe hey...... :D

I know I am not mate and I apologise, but you know, situations and shit happens. I have a lot going on bro. I am trying to follow your guidance but regardless, I am definitely taking it all onboard for next time.

I`d prolly switch to Canna, Vitalink or Growers Ark ferts and start using your tap water as well next grow alongside a splash of calmag if needs be. Growers Ark guys will actually tailor make you ferts for your water if needs be but usually using correct hard or softwater ferts should do jobby. https://growers-ark.com/products/water-analysis A top fert maker ive used many many times, atmo im using Vitalink though. :)

I will check out the Growers Ark mate but I recently stocked up on some randoms in case I need them so for now I already have the following:-

• Canna A/B
• Canna Start
• Rhizotonic
• Canna CalMag agent
• Cannazym
• Canna PK1314
• Canna Boost Accelerator
• Canna Flush
• Canna D Block

And from my Hydro grow I also have the following (if needed):-

• Calmag Agent
• Flora Micro SW
• Flora Grow
• Flora Bloom
• Phytoff
• OxyPlus
• Silver Bullet Roots
• HydroGuard
• Liquid Silicon

Bit excessive I know, but with the lockdown I thought I would make sure I have them available if needed.

From reading the other diary, should I be getting some Epsom Salts mate?

Couple more pictures for you mate and she is looking a little darker now - and starting to smell ;o)







Middle one is still a little light as I was previously filling my pint grows in that corner and they would overflow(hydro) or drain(coco) into the pot below - My bad i know just trying to make the most of the space but I have now put them in 'jugs' ;o)

I'm so lazy and bad Minty.

I will check the run off tomorrow mate. Most of the nutrients have been used now and I will sling what's left and do a top feed as you suggested and measure the run off from all three of them.

Would you recommend a mix to use as the top feed mate based on what I have available:-

• Canna A/B
• Rhizotonic
• Canna CalMag agent
• Cannazym

Or should I just stick to the A+B with some added Calmag and Silicon?

My thinking being if I am going to be adding any Rhizotonic or Cannazym it may be more beneficial doing this the top of the Coco?

[Minty]

Looking at them pics again and it might be that the light is too much? The ones around the edges look to be a little darker than the ones in the middle? But that could just be new growth etc.

[Minty]

Some pictures taken with the light off:-




And some with the main light off but the airing cupboard light on:-




Not the greatest looking plants but they doing alright I reckon considering they are still under the Invisible Sun 150watt- pretty glad they are not up in the main tent yet as that is back in the high 30's low 40's (currently 38℃ with a humidity of 28%)

I did get another PH pen today which gives me the two portable pens and the Atlas Probes to be able to confirm which one is most acurate (my money is on the Atlas Probes) but an additional pen is a good starting point as I obviously can't use the probes to test the water for the AutoPots while in use with the Main Hydro build.

[Minty]

I`d be checking your run off it all possible, basically tyurn system off and sling some ferts through top and if that`s saying everything is ok then i`d be upping ferts a wee bit as well mate.

Hey Mate,

I ran a 1.5 litres of Feed through each of them at approx 1.2 EH and 5.8 pH and then measured the run off as advised:-

Plant A (T-Bar):-
Run Off 1.7EC / 800ppm @ 6.4pH



Plant B (Splitter) :-
Run Off 1.4EC / 740ppm @ 6.42pH




Plant C (BandAid):-
Run Off 1.14EC / 563ppm @ 6.71pH




Not really sure what that means in terms of adjusting the feed but they seem to liking the increase in CalMag and the addition of Silicon. Guess I just wait and see what they look like tomorrow - after this top feed.

Also, checking the new PH pen shows it is aligned with the Atlas probe so the original PH pen I was using to measure the Nutrients for this grow is way off. Hopefully the new pen might make a difference.

[Minty]

They seem to doing alright so I decided to name them depending on what damage I have already done to them ;o)

Introducing Split, Snap & T-Bar:-

SPLIT

Had an Invisible Sun ISH150 dropped on her Keeno Style - and totally split the main stem off - oh well, it's a Weed - get over it



Snap

Let's just say I was not enough 'L' while doing the 'LST' - oh well, it's a Weed - get over it



T-Bar

This one is actually an example of no damage (to the steam - yea I see the leaves - feck off) other than the original topping to split the main stem followed by some gentle LST to train as required.
I still have time to fuck this one up don't worry but end of the day - it's a Weed - get over it



This is just a small example of how I like to BEAT on Melons in my spare time but Melons gonna loose the comp and canabis is a weed
they want to survive and by the end of the grow all three of those nodes will pretty much be solid as a ROCK I reckon ;o)

Posting partly as an update but thought it might be useful images for the Social Media girls - hence the labels ;o)

It`s up to you they hardly effect EC so its not a biggi either way, you really need to be thinking about flowqering them or by time you do you i could have ten grows whuilst these were vegging ;)

They don`t look as bad as i thought with light off pictures either. Keep at it Minty :)

[PaleoCannabica]

like success look like! nice~!

[Minty]

Will do mate, kinda been putting it off as the other plant in my main tent only has a couple of weeks left and I also like keeping these one's handy as I have been doing some LST on them. In a couple of days I will switch them to 12/12 either in the main tent or where they are depending on how they all look.

They don`t look as bad as i thought with light off pictures either. Keep at it Minty :)

I removed the bad looking bits ;o)

Thanks Mate.
