Grow Mediums First Autopot Journey: Glueberry OG and Northern Lights fueled by Biotabs

[Ryker604_BT]

A bigger update today, we're turning the Autopot system ON .

DAY 16:

As said, on this day the Autopot system was set up and I'm going to copy the entry from the main thread, so here you go:


The girls waiting for their trays to be ready:

While the girls were waiting they got a foliar treatment with Biotabs Boom Boom Spray - 100% organic bio-stimulant. Meanwhile, I started setting up the Autopot trays and reservoir which was a first for me (doing it by myself). And I must say, it is easy peasy .
Put the filter in the reservoir and connect your reservoir and valve with the plastic tubing (you cut the plastic tubing by yourself):

After that layout the trays to your liking and cut the tubing accordingly. Then remove the black hose connector from the Aquavalve and connect the tubing to the Aquavalve using the aforementioned connector:

Once you have done this with all your Aquavalves and connected them accordingly, you can put them in their trays and let the fill with water:

And now you have your own working watering system .


After everything was set up, the tent looks something like this:

The girls (from top left clockwise: GBOG 2 - NL - GBOG 1 - GBOG 3):

Not only were the Autopots started, 2 plants were also topped . Wanted to experiment this grow and the plants looked fine and healthy, so why not?

GBOG 2:

So there you have it. The Autopots are working and after this there won't be any bigger changes in the setup and I will mostly be just checking the water level in the reservoir and the surrounding conditions. There will be further training too .

See you guys later, peace out :smoking:.

Did you turn airdomes on already?

I'm gonna quote myself from the main thread:

Considered them for this grow, but it seemed like a hassle really, so decided to skip that . Everyone I know that uses Autopots doesn't use airdomes or airstones in the reservoir. @pop22 even put a picture in some other thread of a monster plant that was grown without airdomes/airstone, so I don't deem them as necessary.

All of the plants in my tent are around 85-95cm and that is with heavy training, so all of them would be above 1m without that, which is still big for an autoflower .
However, if I decide on using airdomes the next grow, I would do only 1-2 plants in the tent and that is a plus, seeing as you have less plants it is less of a crime (in my country).

So no airdomes this grow, but I was wondering since you asked, would you turn them on around this time?

DAY 22:

Good news - did some LST on the girls after they got bushy from the training before
Bad news - broke GBOG 3's main stem while doing it (patched her up immediately and let her rest)

GBOG 1:

GBOG 2:

GBOG 3 (poor thing ):

After patching up:

Group shot after the LST (my friend insisted that we let the NL run it's natural course. no training for her):

As you can tell, I'm having great fun with this grow .

DAY 23:

Further training made the girls even bushier and I like that :

GBOG 3 took it like a champ and her main stem is already shooting up, a day after the breaking :

And a first - tent conditions:

DAY 25:

Getting bigger by the day. The GBOG 3 doesn't care about her wounds at all:

Everything's fine in Rykerville :smoking:.

DAY 32:

Going strong with the updates . The girls were pampered today with some Boom Boom spray after experiencing continued LST .

Tent shots before LST:

And tent shot after LST:

This is how the healed main stem of GBOG 3 looks :
