Looks lke the lollipop is good for fast, large growing autos. I can agree with this too. Nice chop Groff

Thank you! I am very happy with the result too! :smokebuds:
5 drying days and counting! Temps are up and humidity is down, so I am checking daily for stem snap. I'm also known to not resist and pluck a little popcorn for a late night chill... :tiphat:
Perfectly smokeable and just the slightest taste of green. By the looks of things I'm guessing tomorrow will be final trim day.
The AM-Biobizz have had their last feed on Sunday, entering a 2 week flush. By the looks of things they could go a little further, but I'll be chopping them at day 100 just like the coco sisters. Today is day 86 for them. Significantly smaller plants, and the lower buds are much less developed, so in this comparison thread I'm guessing the difference is going to be huge.
It was only when I put up the plants to dry in the tent did I realize how much the first two yielded. I wont risk shooting the sky here, but I've certainly hit a new personal best, and the satisfaction is double being my first AF grow

How do you find coco bro? Iv been looking at alternative mediums, and now I have a good ph pen
Anything you need to look out and keep an eye on in coco?
I've only done 1 grow in soil before moving to coco, and now again with this biobizz thing. To answer that question right now would defeat the whole purpose of this thread and my autoX thread :brow: but stay tuned for a final report :smokebuds:
About what to look out for... well, there is a half-dozen types of coco. For reptiles, for conditioning, as medium by itself, washed, unwashed, buffered or not, with trichoderma or not etc etc. So just go straight to the known brands no matter what you local store says. Biobizz, Canna and others have specific coco products for our needs, and silly money compared to what might go wrong (I almost killed 7 seedlings once!) - around 15€ for 50L of proper, ready to use coco.
Coco is basically hydro, so get that pH around 5.7/5.8 in veg and up to 6.1/6.3 in flower - dont get too paranoid, you don't have to nail it everytime, in fact, its better if you don't. Coco relies a lot on Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), highly pH dependent, so swinging the pH slightly is actually good for nutrient uptake. CEC is also the reason why there is no separate veg and bloom nutes. Just A&B.
Get airpots! Especially with coco! Very noticeable performance boost. Watering is still very debatable. People swear by feeding once daily, or multiple drip feedings a day, I prefer to let it dry out a little to keep the roots in shape. 24h before planting the seed, rootling or clone, water the coco with an EC of 0.6 and pH 5.5 until a little run-off comes out. This will kick start life before planting and seedlings who prefer a slightly more acidic environment to start out. This is not pure hydro, this pH 5.5 will interact with the coco positively.
Clean the pH probe and calibrate once a month, like a religion.
What else? Oh, first 2 weeks, water daily with as little as you can actually bear to give loool ... this will highly encourage the roots to shoot downwards looking for more. If it goes well, you will freak out because the top side of the plant will look like its stunted in comparison to soil grows. This is because the plant is redirecting all energy to root production. Once it finds its limit, then BOOM, upwards explosive growth. So a good idea to pot directly into the final container.
Cant think of anything else right now, its pretty simple. I'm pulling up 20L litre airpots this next run, so I hope to get close to what people do with buckets and bubbles!
Definitely try it! You'll love it Kipster!

very nice nuggets groff. The AutoMazar is one of the favourites for a quality high and hashy smokes. You have plenty of it too !
all the best
all the best
Quick snap of the Biobizz AM's. Starting to yellow out. Not too long to the chop :ama:

Chopped the Biobizz down yesterday, exactly at day 100 too!!
Did my best to trim, ended breaking a couple branches.
They are much smaller and much much leafier. Main nuggs seem fatter, but definitely less yield. We'll know exactly in 1 week's time.
