Autopot with Air Dome Grow! 2 Layer Cake x Runtz 2 Apple Fritter.

[420BigBud]

I've started my first Autopot with air domes grow. I started the seeds off by placing them in a cup of water for 18 hours then planted them in coco coir with about 15 percent perlit added a cup of worm castings and 1 table spoon of 4-4-4 dry amendments in a 2 litre pot. The plants are now 1 week old. I'll be updating you as I grow and all feed back is welcome.

I just fed my little lady's and took the opportunity to add micro bacteria to the pots. In a few days I'll be able to move these plants into my proper grow space which is being used to dry my last run right now.

Nice one bud.

I've 4 purple punch x lemon drizzle they turned out ok and should be pretty good smoke.
Do you have something growing at the moment yourself?

It's been a week since the last update all things are moving along as expected. I've moved the ladies into their 5 star accommodation fitted with 4 inch ac infinity exhaust and carbon filter
Marshydro 300w evo
Tower fan
Small oil heater
ac infinity t3 humidifier
Autopot 2.2 gallon with air domes

I transplanted to the 2.2 gallon pots for the Autopot system. I top fed each pot with 1.25 litres of canna coco a and b
Rhizotonic and cannaazym at half strength and a ph of 5.4, I did not ph this it just ended up at 5.4 so I sent it as is.

They need at least a week before I can turn on the autopot watering system but the air domes are on so should help the root zone.

How often should I be top watering this girls? All input welcome thanks grow buds!!!

Turned on the Autopot system today the plants have been growing well this week with the air domes turned on so now that the Autopot watering system is taking care of the watering i should see even more growth. I filled the tank with 10 liters of Canna coco nutrients at ph of 5.6

The leaves look much darker green in person than this photo. If I can get 1 week of very good growth I'll be able to flip too flower. Let's fucking go!!!!!

I've been learning alot about the Autopot system this last week. I noticed the ph in my resivour was going from 5.6 all the way up to 7.2 in the bottom of the pots in a 24 hour period. I blamed bio bizz ph for this swing and changed my ph to a different brand I had. This fixed my ph swing for the most part it still rises but only .4 every 24 hours and I ph it back down to 5.6.

I've been feeding Canna coco nutrients at ec of 1.7. I noticed magnesium deficiency so I started adding calmag at 1ml per litre this helped but didn't fix the issue completely. I raised my marshydro ev3000 light and dimmed it from 65% to 50% i also increased the temperature in the room from 76 to 82 and this seems to have fixed the problem.

The ladies have grow to the point I need to flip to flower incase they more than double in height. This is the fun part growing buds

The layer cake x runtz in the top left is taking over she's boss, i only tucked two fan leaves and she exploded leaving me with an even canopy.

You don't have room for 4 plants there. They're looking great !!!

You're 100% correct i should only have 1 or 2 plant's in this 3x2 foot but I have a couple of reasons for putting 4 plant's. First reason is to fill up the room as fast as possible so I can harvest ASAP, second reason is I like to smoke a verity of bud everyday even the same strain has different pheno types so that's why I like to run 4 at a time. Will I harvest more bud with 4 plants instead of 1 or 2 plants i have no idea but I like to think that I will

One plant can make a decent amount of bud ;-).

Looking like an all you can smoke buffet

It's been 2 weeks since the last update and everything is going very nicely. The ladies stretched doubling in height i had to beat up a couple of the girls every now and then to keep them all in line.
I lollipopped the plants there today leaving some big fan leaves on the bottom. Here they are the ladies you've all been waiting for...

I'm only starting to see pistols today really and i hope the stretch is over because I've not got any more head room for my light.

Can anyone identify which is the Apple Fritter and which is the Layer Cake x Runtz?

 

[420BigBud]

It's now day 28th of flower. The plants continued to stretch until day 21 of flower so I had to move my light right up against my carbon filter and even at that height my light is 6 inches away from the top of the plants.

I've been feeding Canna coco a+b, boost accelerator, and pk 13/14 with a tea spoon of Magnesium Sulphate at PH 5.8 and EC of 2.8 now. I've removed lots of big fan leaves 2 buckets of them over the last 28 days. There is lots of frost for day 28 of flower

She smells pretty dank and is gone into full bud production.
There is alot of tops in this space and my light is at 100% now until harvest

Stay tuned for my next update soon. Respect to all my growers out there

Looks awesome in there Homie . Goin to have some serious weight soon

Hi everybody it's day 42 of flower. Unbelievably the plants continued to stretch into week 5 of flower could this be shade response I'm not sure my light has excellent coverage. Besides the stretch everything is going very nicely. I'm so impressed with the canna coco line I bought more of everything

I'm feeding at 5.8 ph and ec is at 3.0 now the plants had slight burn on the tips but nothing for me to be worrying about.
There is good bud development now but I still have 4 or 5 weeks left of flower I'm guessing. Here's a quick video but the plants are so big now it's hard to record or take good pictures.

This will be my best run in this space since I started 6 years ago. The anticipation of harvest has kicked in i can not wait to smoke these.

As you can see my camera isn't the best they look better in person but you get a good idea anyway.

Looks like a rain forrest in there
I call that full house.

It's day 56 of flower
The 4 plants had some burn on the tips of the leaves when I feed EC of 3.0 so I backed it down to EC of 2.8 and everything seemed fine. The next time I filled the resivour i feed at EC of 2.8 again but I added p/k 13/14 at double the strength I ment to, half one in the morning job you know yourself
And let me tell you that p/k 13/14 is powerful stuff as you'll see in the video. Luckily for me I noticed the next night and added some plain water to dilute it a bit it's already burnt the leaves but the flower is unaffected.

 

[420BigBud]

I'm now only feeding water, this last 4 days the EC has been 2.0 and PH 5.8

The Layer Cake x Runtz nearest on the left is ready all cloudy trichomes with one or too amber on the actual bud that is not the sugar leaves. I'll take her down on Sunday.

The other Layer Cake x Runtz in the back left needs one more week she's a huge plant.

Then on the right hand side the two Apple Fritter will also need one more week to finish up.
