Grow Mediums First AutoPot grow Bum Wine and Sour Raspberry Kush

[TexasGrows]

Day 19

Thanks for watching!!!! Feed back is always welcome.

Environment: 2X4 tent, 300 watts at the wall full spectrum LED, 6" exhaust, passive intake.

Water: RO 10ppm
Nutrient: 498 PPM MegaCrop 1 part latest version. V3 I think.
PH: 6.5

Sour Raspberry Kush is a bit behind. They where both planted the same time, however she did not show above soil until three days after the Bum Wine.

I upped the PPM to ~500 of the MegaCrop, nothing else added. Will keep PPM around there from here on. I plan on using nothing but the MegaCrop 1 part the entire grow.

I have only been giving water when the soil is dry the first couple inches or so. I have given no more than 2 cups at one watering.

The Auto pot direction say wait 14-20 days before turning the system on.

I have read some say wait until the the plants leaves reach the edge of the pot.

So Im at Day 19 but my Bum Wine has not quite reached the edge and the SRK has quite a bit before getting there.

What do y'all say...

Turn the System on based on time or based on leaves touching the edge of the pot?

Bum Wine

Sour Raspberry Kush

looking good! While I haven't used autopots YET, I'd say be patient.

When life is good, why hurry?

that one small plant is just not ready. You could start the other plant on the res by putting a bag clip or something similar to pinch of the line to the other pot, i've done this. When the other is ready, just remove the clip.

Thanks for the confirmation Pop22!!! I was think along the same lines!!!! I am set up to turn each pot on or off independently so I will turn the Bum Wine on and leave the SRK off for a bit longer.


Big Sul that's pretty cool "When life is good, why hurry?". I do need to work on the patience thing!!!!

Have u put them on the res yet? I'm very interested on your Grow. My autopots was just delivered on 4/20. How's that for a sign!!!!

Yes I put the largest one the Bum Wine on the res. Its growing but slowly. The color is a bit on the pale side and growth is slow, so I upped the the PPM to 588 PH 6.5.

The small one is a for sure runt or stunt. Given my limited experience I would lean towards stunt. Im gonna say I over watered both these girls in th beginning. Then under watered trying to compensate. I ended up with the top half of the pot dry dry and the bottom half soaked.

The Bum Wine has grown 1inch in height but not much at all in width. That seems quite slow to me over nine days.

I have been fighting low humidity which is very strange here. Its been as low as 28% and not higher than ~35 ish for 9 days. Humidifier running extra bucket with rag for a wick trick still couldn't get over 40 at best of times in tent amd most of times in high 20s and low 30s.

I will try amd get some pics up later.

This go around I planted right into the 3.9 gal pot it was hard to control the moisture right. I ended up too soggy on the bottom and too dry up top. I think this stunted them.

I read some more and should of stuck with what I know. I should of up potted them.

I am starting a few more seeds. I will start these in a 1 gal for most of the hand watering phase then up pot to the 3.9 gal autopot.

This is what was I doing before just not with autopots.

I will update the progress of the Bum wine until she finishes or passes wich ever comes first.

I am going to start a new thread for the three seeds I started today. They are Blue Dream Matic 420 Fast Buds, Gorilla Glue Auto freebie from Herbies, Sour Raspberry Kush Wickedpissah.

I'll post a link to it here when I get I it going.

Had you been top watering/feeding them? I have not had my grows had any issue with dry top when top feeding them.

Starting directly in a large pot can be tricky, it's why I transplant. And I firmly believe my transplants grow as well or better than direct planting in big pot. The trick is to transplant as soon as the leaves are as wide as the pot it starts in.Don't delay more than a day. Done this way I usually see meaurable growth within 12 hours.

@Nosias yes I was top feeding and before planting I had thoroughly watered both pots, me thinks more than really needed.


@pop22 I too have always transplanted before. I start seed and transplant in my vegetable garden routinely simce always. I have also always done so in the eight or so successful autoflower grows I've done so far.

I just bought into the it's better idea to start in thw final pot. I tried it it didn't work for me this go. Im sure it was me and not the method.

Not saying up potting is better just saying it's better for me

I have started a blue dream matic from 420 fast buds. Started in a jiffy pellet, then into a 1 gallon. Its already wider than the others in just four days above ground, and green green.

Starting another Wickedpissah Sour Raspberry Kush, and a Gorilla Glue Auto. Niether one is showing yet.

I'll get a pic of the new Blue Dream this evening.

Thanks so much for watching and giving feedback!!!!!!
