New Grower Dale’s 2022 1st grow journal attempt

[JP1]

Don't be embarrassed to post pics. i regret not starting to post pics sooner might have shortened my learning curve. i've learned from your posts so it is helpful. i don't think my issues with the coco girls are fault of the autopots yet.

Embarrassed is probably not the right word. Maybe misrepresented. I've definitely learned more from dealing with the bad ones then just cruising along with the good ones. And hopefully somebody along the line can learn something from my trials and errors

@Suki813 would you go back to salts or are you staying organic? i thought i saw some pots setup for hydro in your tent?

I ask because I am debating that also right now I might pop another bean in CoM soil again rather then coco & salts. So I can keep my perpetual setup on schedule.

Nope, just topped them with the balls cause I didn't want to go in my daughters room while she was asleep to get more dirt from the balcony and then I forgot all about it lol. Balls were right next to the tent so easy access. Didn't have quite enough to cover the root riots and they needed a little extra support.

Hey guys got kinda of a technical question I think. I’ve decided to abort the autopots and go to hand feeding 1-2 a day to 20% runoff. The plants don’t like something. IMO I think it’s either a nutrient balance issue or overwatered because of the aqua valve not working properly. The valves seems to be over filling the tray to above the clamp ring on the inlet port. The valves seem to be more of a pain to maintain then just feeding once a day to 20% runnoff for me. I was happy with my results from the bubblegum queen in a 3 gallon coda grow bag. The only difference I can think of it nutes and watering habits.

With all that said while I am flushing the autopots 3.9 gallon plastic pot with a new nute balance. I noticed the roots have gotten quite long and not sure what would be the best route to take. Should trim roots

If they are to remain in a moist environment I would let them be.

Been busy the last few days so figured I better update some of MY threads.

Here's my harvest from the nightowl bubblegum queen run 115 days total. I don't have pic of total weight but I do estimate it at about 225g +/-. jars were filled as followed 60g, 60g, 60g ish, and 45g ish.
@420Forever here's A harvest next one I will get pic of total weight. That will be the Mehpisto's Doublegrape and orange utan in a couple weeks
