Holy Autopots, Batman! Crazy growth!

[OldSchoolest]

Hey guys!

I’m just floored by how these plants are growing in 2.2 gallon autopots!

I ran this same genetic in hand watered soil a little while back, and the difference is just night and day!

Recovery time is seemingly hours!

I mainlined and lollipopped the ever loving crap outta these gals, and they just take it.

Just wanted to let you guys know my experience, and post a couple photos!

Here’s the plants on day one of flower, and day 11 of flower…

What's the media?

What hardware are you using?

 

[OldSchoolest]

I’m using canna coco, chunky perlite, and bio char.

I also run AC infinity side lights, and a 320w Mars Hydro top light.

 

[OldSchoolest]

Also running the air comes and air bases on the autopots.

I’m really excited for my next cycle because I’m running two high yielding 45 day strains, and I’m so interested to see how that’s even possible ha ha ha.

 

[OldSchoolest]

You can seriously almost watch them grow in these things ha ha ha

I don’t think I’ll ever NOT mainline again either.

 

[OldSchoolest]

Also…

I barely used New Millennium Decision for day one, and just hand watered a bit of it in…

I still feel like even that small amount kicked them into flower mode faster than usual.

I mean…I don’t usually see little pistil clusters on day 8-9 of flower

Today is day 15 that I took the photos

 

[OldSchoolest]

Again…

This is just ridiculous ha ha ha.

I tried shwazzing my plants again this run at day one and day 19…

Today is day 22, and LEAVES ARE BACK!

Ha ha ha!!!!

Awesome! I am finding similar results with BluMats. Night and day difference over hand watering. Like you said, I can almost watch them grow.

 

[OldSchoolest]

I stripped almost all the fan leaves on day 19 and the next photo is from 3 days later…

Mind is blown!

Wait until you cut them down and pull the roots/ earth out. Root development will be crazy too.

 

[OldSchoolest]

I’m just so amazed with these pots man…

Keep watching them stack, and stack, and stack…

Man I did not need to see their post. I am doing soil but have seen time and time again the growth on the autopots and am growing a huge amount of data from diaries and journals. I will be all active on different forums and printing out stuff and then loose interest cause I got a grow then I read this and it starts up again.
9 months. Gimmie 9 months as I am pretty new to pot but I got the soil and organic methods down and want to do a large harvest of kushberry moon rocks over the winter. I do not want that strain to be my first toe into autopots. I know it has a curve and I am still working on identifying plant problems cause doing soil with organics is easy with a 4 plant run to get the nutrition profile dialed.
Also I am thinking I just learned another data point for growers. Have seen for a while what I call conflation in the forums. It's when someone suggest drying out coco or watering soil every day. The 2 are conflated.
Swazzing. I can see how someone doing high growth vegative systems can conflate this technique. The growth filled in great. Doing that on a slow and steady organic grow would cost me 3 weeks. Sure airflow but the cost would be too high.
Outstanding grow and following with a few other autopot heads.

What's the media?

It's stuff like the television news, online news outlets would be considered, "the media" too! Newspapers too!

What hardware are you using?

What's "hardware?" Is it a general term for a grow setup?

Also…

I barely used New Millennium Decision for day one, and just hand watered a bit of it in…

I still feel like even that small amount kicked them into flower mode faster than usual.

I bottom water and have the same pistil action fwiw. You have a nice grow happening!

I’m just so amazed with these pots man…

Keep watching them stack, and stack, and stack…

Will these flowers eventually meet to form single, large, colas?

 

[OldSchoolest]

That’s what it looks like this time!

I’ll post photos.

 

[OldSchoolest]

This is day one of week 6

 

[OldSchoolest]

I also feel like running the new millennium secret sauce with the green sensation is the cheat code

 

[OldSchoolest]

Allllmost touching ha ha ha.

You can really see two leaning more GG4 and the other more Zkittles with the thinner wonkier buds!

I also wonder what the dynamics are with growth when you mainline, but don’t tie the final mains down so their side by side instead of one above the other.

I feel like that’s the reason why some are short and some are long!

 

[OldSchoolest]

Got a little creative this weekend!

I feel like they turned out pretty good!
