Final update: I just finished transplanting four of these seedlings to soilmix in Autopots. BFD but I went from this: To this in less than 15 minutes with no stress to the plants, almost zero mess...never had to touch a plant or roots using the above technique: So now when these girls get...

Update: Here is the plant you saw above and 5 others all done this way happily going in bloom. Important point to me: zero casualties... 5 Uranium 420s (all looking female as of this morning) and one lone Exorcist....

Cheers; it actually is working out well. Its funny though; I was working all this out in my head (and paper, and CAD software, etc) and found all of the benefits to *me* as the grower....but one of the comments above brought home what could be the most important point: With this I can...

Well actually in my "designers head" I saw these pots as being cylindrical (no bevel to top or bottom), blue/black painted and has fitting for adding wicks. The whole system is in a state of evolution as I try stuff, make improvements, etc. As well as this, in my head I saw the tub part as...

Update: the Alfies are just stagnant but the rest (Alpine OG, Black Sugar Rose, Afghani Kush) are doing great! Alfies were freebies anyways..thing is, the pots are working as-designed.

Just finished my first 8 plants completely through the system (haven't shown the seed bit yet) from seed/clones to harvest and haven't lost one yet and every one done this way is thriving so far. This setup is very simple to get going and to maintain. I am currently using a soil mix that is...

Hey gang, here is something I came up with and maybe it will help others. Kind of a neat system for me. Not saying it grows pot better than any other method but I CAN state w/o reservation how well it works for me and solves some problems unique to my situation. Due to my disability I needed...

Well, since I am in a continual harvest system anyways, that doesn't really help because I am either always or never at the end of the cycle for *something* in there, whereas the remaining 66% or so needs that light to stay right the F where its at if possible. So figured since there are no...

Would that I could estimate; I have had so many different light-schemes going etc that I lost track. Probably should pick some arbitrary date like Jan 1 or something, drop in a new one and *pay more attention this time*..... Cheers for the reply...

Greetings. I was in bloom today and I realized that I had the same 600w HPS bulb in play for nearly a year. Since both ends of my cooling tube around it are sealed, I only want to rip into it when I need to or what it makes sense. So if you have a schedule for changing your lights, how often do...

Greetings farmers. One thing Octopot/Autopot (or any similar system) owners know is that while they are great for thriving vigorously-growing plants, they kinda stink for clones and seedlings, mostly due to the fact that what you are planting doesn't really have a developed root system yet and...

And thats exactly why I am trying to document the results. Before I started the gradual harvest thing I had maybe a dozen or more plant-harvests under my belt. Not alot but enough to know something needed to change. I have done the lollypopping in the past as a general trial but never under any...

Greetings and thanks for the input. In many ways we think alike; for example, thats why I am standardizing on Autopots for now; veg to bloom move is simply lifting the plant/pot from one room and take it to another. Wheels would not help much for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is I...

I just realized, I am kinda doing that too, although not by intent. Any plants that get ready for flowering, first I take a bunch of clones (planning for the future) and where do those come from? Bottom of the plant....

Last time I will ever say this but....yeah in a lot of ways I do feel lucky....however the freedom afforded by this luck, this situation was not voluntary and I miss being far more functional. Also, the same thing that pushed me into this "freedom" also might yank it away in a few years or so...

Also keep in mind: * I just grow for myself and the missus * As such, I only keep about 18-20 plants max at any one time (everything from seedlings to fully mature plants) * Being disabled, on days when my brains doesn't go south I can afford to micro-manage the process and "tinker". Add it all...

@mittenmedgrow: I take maybe 20% credit but as I have been only growing for a year now (last year this time I was just putting my first crop to flower), I know much of that 20% is luck. The remainder though I must credit to the source strain, Exorcist (Ambulance x Harlequin Jo) bred by a cool...

@mittenmedgrow: Cheers for the tips and information. I have no real ego here, I know for fact for every single thing I think I do know, I am also confident that there are 10 I don't and maybe another 10 I have misunderstood. Many hilarious tales in that last category. In fact though, you kinda...

Damned straight it is. Sometimes I think I bite off more than I can chew. Making it work right means making it work smoothly and reliably. To do that you need to be able to say "on such and such date I want a (for example) Trainwreck, which means I must have a healthy teen ready on such and such...

Update: finished the final harvest on the Exorcist (right in above pic) and I must say I am sold on the technique. Even at the bottom of the plant, where you would expect to find the worthless whispy crap, I found maybe 3 of those anywhere on whats left of the plant. All the rest, to a one...
