Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops

[Minty]

You`ve got a support net or not ?

Yes mate.

Not too worried about the yields as only growing for myself.

I will get the AutoPot system sorted out tomorrow as I now have the sensors free to use with this grow as well as the air pump and chiller (although the chiller is probably not as important I may as well use it).

Don`t go tieing anything down now

What, I never touched them I swear

give me plant size when you get a chance and max height they can grow too and still be around 15inches space between light and plants.

They are currently about 18" (470mm) tall including the pots:-



and with leaving a 15" gap reserve for the lights that leaves about 48" (1290 mm) of available space.(Invisible Sun recommend a 12" gap for flowering and a 18" gap for veg) So do you think we will be alright using the net to strap them down and start flowering in a week?

Sizing is about the same as it was for the Hydro grow:-

Ok mate that sounds good we can always up ferts if needs be at some point, nio sweat.

Sorry mate, this is what they are actually on at the min while still bottle feeding them. I can obviously adjust as needed but they seem to be doing alright with these:-

2ml of AnB is more than enough mate atmo, you don`t really want to get build up with this system once plants are in full swing you may struggle to get rid of build up, but at 2ml per liter which is what ive run plenty of times in veg and bloom you`ll be ok right to chop, just up it to 2.5 for first 3 weeks of bloom and back to 2ml , you can always add more if thety look like its needed but tis harder other way around, bingo jobs a good en sorted.

Cool for height and things, we`ll just have a look see what they`re saying next weekend before deciding hey. But my worry is rootage in those pots. What size are the pots 15 litres ? It maybe an idea to turn a valve off on one let it dry out for 2 days then carefully pop the fucker out of pots to have a goosey-gander and see what rootage is saying, but that`s up to you and theirs not much we can do about that anyhow if your keeping them in same pots except get scissors out to chop a load of roots away and that`s gonna put them back a week or two. Fuck it we can just go with it as is its no sweat, it maybe an idea filling those pots right to top more or less now as well cus they feeding from bottom so its not a problem, well its not a "maybe an idea" its needs doing, just top them up with coco mukka

Nets not for holding anything down but for supporting stems full of buddage.

The 2.5 ml of A and B is for 1.5 litres (a bottle) of water so I will adjust to 2ml per litre in the main AutoPot res tomorrow and that should be about right. I will defo top them up with coco tomorrow and fill out the tops (and hope they don't need flushing any time soon). Rather not pull one up just to see mate as like you say there is fuck all I can do about it now anyway.

My plan is to let them be alone for a while to fill out the new space, get the AutoPot systems going tomorrow and wing it from there. I don't think they look that bad considering one was chopped in half, and the other two were snapped and all three have been tied down and abused in a tiny airing cupboard just for being Melons ;o)

All good mate. Appreciate your help and you patience with me ;o)

[Point 5]

Its all coming along nicely.

[Minty]

Its all coming along nicely.

2nd attempt and hopefully this time no root rot ;o)

[2-Scoops]

Yes that`s only problem, if you can call it one, with your system hence why you don`t over fert plants to start with Minty. Those plants will do ya proud now if you flipped them as well, the only reason im saying give a week is to see system running properly without any glitches in space-time-continuum. But let`s see next week first hey. :)

I can honestly say ive never seen a grow get root rot if growing in coco mate. :)

I can't wait for my auto beans to come in. Great post. Maybe I'll give autopot a try when I have a bigger space

Day 73 Update

3rd day in the main tent and they seem to be liking the change of environment



The AutoPot system is up and active now, running with a couple of large air stones and because I am using the chiller it also has the water pump doing some fuming so should be good on aeration of the res. also topped up the pots with some more Coco as suggested by @2-Scoops.

Two outside pots are running with the Air Domes middle is not currently using the Air Dome (although she does have one).

Feeding them against the following schedule:-
