Grow Mediums explosive autopot grow! newbie autopot grower

[Blasting]

Hello people from the autpot section! I am blasting, a professional blaster working a 7 days in 7 days off schedule away from home and also an hobby grower, I just recently found about these autopot and bought my self a kit because thats seemed to be the best for me with my not so nice schedule for growing.

This grow will start in my 2x4 tent until my 39x39 tent finished.

The setup

• 3 pot 15L autopot system with two air domes only (store ran out was too in a hurry lol)
• 2x300W Mars Hydro, 1x300W Roleadro 2nd gen full spectrum light
• 2x4x5 Fusion hut tent
• 4 inch Vivosun inline fan + filter

The bigger tent

• Mars II 700W and Mars 600W panel (pretty much 50w/square feet)
• 39x39 Mars Hydro tent
• 6 inch ventech fan + filter and controller
• Same autopot system to be transfered

The nutes and the medium

These were transplanted into a 50%Canna coco/50% perlite mix and poured lots of mycho, my clones were in 0.5gal soil pot before, I hope i didnt do a mistake transplanting into coco, the guy at the hydro shop said that was fine.


Veg nutes

• Sensi grow a+b
  
• Voodoo juice
• Sensi CalMag
• B52
• Rhino Skin (not on AN chart but was recommended to use by hydro shop)

Bloom Nutes

I found out about the Sensi coco line after buying the sensi grow, I am not sure yet wich product of the whole line I am getting, but Im thinking Sensi Coco Bloom, Bid Bud coco, overdrive, bud candy, sensizym and one of their microbial product. Please enlighten me on that one.

The real deal

I am presenting you my babies today, they were grow to this stage in a closet with a 30W T5.. they are not as healthy as I would like them but Im pretty sure they'll take off. Left to right is Mazar from DP, Crystal candy and green poison from SS.




Mazar (from seed) other are clones





Transplanted them yesterday january 26, they all got 2L of distilled nute water.

• 2ML/L Voodoo Juice
• 1ML/L cal-mag
• 1ml/l sensi A+B
• 0.5ml/L B52
• 0.5ml/L Rhino Skin (Sillica)

I am still unsure about this whole next line of nutes, and also about autopots. By the look of these plants, how long do you think until they root down so I can start reservoir. Mazar and green poison are air domed, crystal candy is not.

Thanks for passing by any advice is really appreciated since this is me second grow ever, and my first grow with autopots. Happy growing everyone!

Forgot to add they received a good topping and LST, hoping to start the reservoir by tuesday because I am going for a week for work!

Not sure anyone can say how long before you turn on the res. On average people start at 21 days I would say.

Bloom Nutes

I found out about the Sensi coco line after buying the sensi grow, I am not sure yet wich product of the whole line I am getting, but Im thinking Sensi Coco Bloom, Bid Bud coco, overdrive, bud candy, sensizym and one of their microbial product. Please enlighten me on that one.

Yes, all those AN supplements (or alternative equivalent products) are essentially needed. For beneficial microbes, you might look at more cost-effective options, such as HydroGuard or ReCharge. And you might consider replacing Big Bud with OverDrive (which I and some others use throughout bloom), although you surely can use both as the schedule recommends.

Perhaps for base bloom nutes consider using AN's new pH Perfect Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B. Connoisseur Coco is their new top-of-the-line base nutes, designed specifically for coco; it's above the Sensi line; and it doesn't cost that much more.

I am now in my 3nd grow using a Connoisseur Coco Bloom-only regimen from sprouting to harvest, never using Grow base nutes, following a modified TaNg's simple schedule. I have not seen any deficiencies or excesses, and transition from veg. to bloom goes smoother vs. switching from grow to bloom nutes.

Are you using RO water with that AN PH Perfect?

I will see if I can find the connoisseur coco line near me or online in canada, do you happen to have that schedule nearby? could be interesting I am new to this whole autopot thing. I have not seen much photos grower in the autopot section (of course this is autoflowe.net loll) is there kind of microbial i shouldnt use in autopot system?

Use the online "Advanced Nutrients Calculator." The schedule/regimens (all the recommended supplements) remain the same no matter which pH Perfect nutrient base is used.

Are you using RO water with that AN PH Perfect?

No. I just use local mid-Atlantic East Coast US river-derived tap water, with ppm about 225. Using pH Perfect, I don't bother to even check pH. I used to use RO only, but now see no difference, no downsides, using tap water (bubbled for hours before use to get rid of chlorine). [But keep in mind, RO is recommended and the best option if you have cost-effective access to it].

The buffering treatment (or not) done during manufacturing of the coco you are using could well have more impact on plant nutrition than your water source.
