Fast Buds Hans' FastBuds LED Coco Autopot Grow - Blackberry / Girl Scout Cookies

[Hansbricks]

So Hans, they were left completely alone for a week?
How was the reservoir level?
Looking very nice.
Picking up two Easy to grow vacation kits from the good people at Autopot.
Flood and draw coco.
We shall see.
Wishing you a good week.
If those were photo plants I would strip them hard.
I am merciless in defoliation, will that hurt final numbers on an auto?
oe; will it stunt them?
I hate larfy leafy scrap.
Thanks.

Hey bro, thanks. Yeah I'm often away for up to a week at a time for my work. They went through about 30L in the 5 days I was gone... The nutes will stay good and pH stable for at least a week but after that the res can get kinda scuzzy and possibly clog up the aquavalves, which I've had happen a couple times when I've been away for extended periods... It good practice to regularly clean the valves and flush the lines out.
Yeah defoliation with autos is still kind of a controversial subject, some people think it can hurt/stunt them... With certain plants I think it's definitely beneficial though, I trim off quite a bit of the lower secondary branches as well to focus on the main tops and get less popcorn buds.

hey guys just a quick question as i have 2 fasty blackberrys goin at day 20 just curious if you hav any advice or things u noticed that will help mine kickass are they heavy feeders? also im growin 1 in plastic 3 gal with happy frog
and 1 in 5 gal fabric pot with coco peat mix thanks

Hey Pat, thanks for stopping by. My Blackberry has been pretty easy going... maybe a bit N sensitive initially and needs some extra cal-mag in bloom. Good luck with yours... could get a pretty big one in that 5gal with coco, hope you have enough room

Looking mighty impressive as always hans bro! Cleaning the valves and lines is always good practice, but i swear by house and gardens drip clean, used to get a slimy residue on my res tank and salt build up in the lines(in a wilma system) but since using drip clean everything is super clean. Still clean it every few weeks. Its quite expensive at about £40 a litre but you only use 1ml per 10 litres.

Day 63
These two are really putting out some pungent aromas now... starting to overpower my filter so guess I'm due for a new one next round. Buds are coming along well, the GSC is getting real frosty now too Started them on Overdrive yesterday so hopefully should start to really fatten up now... I'm thinking maybe another week or so of feeding for the Blackberry then start the flush. The GSC still has 99% white pistils so probably needs a good 3-4 weeks still.

It makes me slightly skeptical to run 4 girls in a 4x4 attempting to mimic your autopot setup.

Really, just slightly lol.........I do it all the time, albeit in larger 25 L autopots and yes, you need to be on top of them.....

@Hansbricks looks like there's a

coming your way, picture perfect health .........and the possibility of going away for awhile.....it's kinda boring and hard to notice the daily development when you see the girls every day....oh well!

I'll look into that as well. H&G seems to make some top notch stuff the more I look into them. I am currently using their roots excelurator gold and am very impressed with the stalk size of my plants. I can't wait to check the the root system after chop.
