Re: Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops
I`d possibly be looking at setting them L shaped now not in a straight line @Minty , but just so they can spread out a wee bit more freely, once they`re touching everywhere they have no where else to go but up, get them spread out mukka.
I`m liking the pictures from above by the way, it helps alot as to when to make a decision on flipping to bloom. :)

Re: Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops
God damn it - I posted a reply to this last week and seemed to have lost it...
Basically the tent is only really setup for two plants in the middle so moving them into an L shape doesn't really work due to the tent being split in half in the upper section means the lights are in the centre of the tent. I guess if needed I could remove one of the plants to give the remaining two more room or perhaps train them out to the sides?

@2-Scoops Is the plan still to flip them to 12/12 or do you think I should be giving them a little more time in veg?



Feeding them on the following at the moment:-

I`d remove smallest and flip other 2 looking down on them and at at floor space they take up now, they will soon fill out your space mate in a few weeks.

Re: Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops
Disconnected the smallest one mate, but have to leave her in the tent to use the nutrients etc before I can move her out, tucked her to one side for now so ignore but the others are looking a little better spaced out now?
Loving the AutoPot System, as the Stats are Solid - they pretty much don't move, PH is fluctuating, and not as much as I would like but 6.0 is a good number no? Main point is that I only NEED to check on them every other day and they are fine. Could probably get away with doing them weekly.
Switched them to 12/12 from today so we shall see how they stretch I guess.

Re: Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops
You really need to be upping ferts for first 3 weeks of 12/12 now or you may notice odd deficiency starting like MG or CAL usually but other fert ellements too as well, so tis prolly best upping both AnB and calmag slightly to around 1.2`ish EC
Yes very cool system and tbh that`s whatrits all about, proper lazy growing being able to pop in once a week to refill fert tank and bingo.
They defo needed switching to 12/12. Keep moving them apart a bit a time once plants are touching again till they touching walls and then that`s all you can do really. :)
They also needed defoliating of most fan leaves except on tips, but hey-ho tis your shout now that one. Check pictures out for how too before and after @Minty
Flip to 12/12 day before after stripping big fan leafage away>


Then i did it at 2 weeks into 12/12 but generally it`s best done around 3 weeks in and if done at that time when stretch is over more or less, then no need to remove so much as i have and best just removing bottom 3rd away and some more fan leaf removal works. >

And here`s same plant around 40days into 12/12 now.

Re: Minty - AutoPot Grow - Assisted by 2-Scoops
@2-Scoops OK mate, one plant has been removed and planted out in the wild (AKA mate's back garden). All have been defoliated (one possibly a little extremely but seems to be bouncing back OK). Lights Running 12/12 and nutrients adjusted to about 1.2 EC @ 6.0 pH
Current stats:-

I decided to remove 'Split' (the one I dropped the light on and split in half):-

Rather than the smallest one (as there wasn't much difference in height and the smaller one had better branch structure etc).
