New Grower 1st Autopot/Autoflower Run: 2 Toof Decay by Mephisto Genetics!

Day 0: Dropping seeds into Rapid Rooters & Autopot Setup


This tray fits perfectly at the bottom of my grow tent.

Adding 2 autopots to my tent. Turned them on once to check if they work and then drained trays.

Medium setup went like this:
1. 1.5 inch of Clay Pebbles at the bottom of pot (I've been told they cause pH drift but I bought them already so I might as well try)
2. Fill up Coco Coir / Perlite combination. (70/30 mix from Hydro Crunch)
3. Put Rapid Rooter in the middle.
4. Added 4L to each of the 2 pots and let them drain. 3mL/gal Cal-Mag & .5tsp/gal of Recharge (Found this combo from reddit user r/Oreck420)
5. Wait until they drain out and then put them into the autopot trays.

Drop the seed in and cover up the top a lil by a pinch with the rapid rooter.

Give a final small watering over the rapid rooter and I moistened the propagation lids by spraying them before putting them on the pots.

Final Notes of Day 0:
Planted at 3PM on Nov 19, 2020.
Tap Water: 7.8 pH & 112 ppm.
After the recipe: 6.1 pH & 215 ppm (ppm went down from 300 because I put too much pH down and I had to dilute it...)
The pH runoff when I was buffering the medium was 6.0.

Day 0-1 & 0-2: Adding 75mL & Questions

Adding 75mL of the same solution in a ring around the rapid rooter.

QUESTION: Thoughts on the lid being closed or open? Inside the domes, its 75-80f and 80RH.

These are the tent conditions over the last 24 hours. (This is different from what's inside the propagation domes)

QUESTION: How should I ramp up the amount of water? Also when should I start adding Megacrop 2 part? I have a general idea from stalking other grows.

Overall, uneventful.. Shoutout to @Master_gRoshi for helping me in the chat. They wanted to be tagged.

In regards to tray in your tent...if it works for you just don't fill the reservoir above the trays capacity along with the displacement of the pot trays...with 2 plants--- 3 gallons should last you ~ a week dependent on the growth stage.

Very good idea!

Day 1: 2 Sprouts

I haven't done anything since Day 0-1. I didn't water or anything because I kept reading conflicting opinions so I just let it happen. I'll most likely have to start watering soon.

Day 2: (11/23/20) First Watering

I just took what Megacrop Part A + B had on the bag and half'd it. Simple as that.

Megacrop Part A + B and pH Down from Advanced Nutrients.
Starting Tap Water = 7.6 pH & 120 ppm
After Part A = 7.1 pH & 205 ppm
After Part B = 7.0 pH & 350 ppm
After pH Down = 6.2 pH

Trying to calibrate it weekly, might be excessive.

RH inside my tent last night, I added a small humidifier before I went to bed.

Just a lil guy, nothing special.

This is what it is this morning. 55 RH.

& just some extra pictures because I like documenting. The 2 part Megacrop dissolved very nicely.

Thank you for checking back in.

EDIT:

Started with 5 gallons of water.
Math wanted me to add 3.75g of Part B and 6.25g of Part B

How much I actually watered my pots? Probably like 500mL-700mL because I think I let it dry it too much last time.

Day 4: (11/25/20) Watering, Pictures

Pictures. Probably watered around 500mL around the top to keep coco moist.

pH rose to 6.6 in my container so I brought it back down to 6.2 pH

Day 6: (11/27/20)500mL Water, Pictures & Refilling Humidifier

500mL each at 6.4 pH

Day 7: (11/28/20) No Water, Pictures & Refilling Humidifier

Day 8: (11/29/20) Full Water, Pictures & Refilling Humidifier

1L each. 6.5 pH & 390-400 ppm so (~270ppm of Megacrop A + B)

I let it drain in a 5 gallon bucket because it sits perfectly in it and it's better than letting it drain in the autopot trays.
