Just stellar my dude!
Quick update on all three as promised. Not really much to say, truth be told. They're all still just growing along and doing their thing with no real input from me. Keeping water in the feed bucket and checking on 'em a couple times a day.
Running into one of the downsides, I suppose, of the system. Hard to move the pots once all the water plumbing is in place and the Blumat's are doing their thing, so hard to get good pictures that really capture the full size of the bigger plants.
Blue Amnesia XXL
Devil Cream Auto
Automazar

Looks great. Sounds like its so easy to do.
Figured I should throw up an update in here while I'm remembering it. Keep tossing up little updates over in the Kindsoil Commune thread and then forget that I've got a journal going as well. :smoking:
The big news this week is it looks like Automazar is finally starting to flower. About day 33 and it's pretty amazing the difference between her and the Devil Cream Auto right next to her that sprouted at the same time. The variety this time around is really showcasing just how different autos' can be from one strain to the next as far as plant size, time to grow, etc...
Automazar taking over the closet and finally starting to bloom at around day 33. Hopefully she doesn't out grow the available space.
Devil Cream Auto. Small plant of the bunch. Tucked away in the corner and starting to get overgrown by the mazar a little. Nice colors and AMAZING smell coming off this one. Also at day 33.
Thirdly is the good sized Blue Amnesia XXL. Stretch looks to have stopped so now just slowly putting on bud weight. Seems to have been hardest hit with possible PH swing or other issues and seeing the most visible yellowing and spotting on leaves. Still going strong overall, though. She's around two weeks older than the others, at about day 47 by my count
The "hands off" part of the grow is still doing just that. Nice to just be able to sit back and watch 'em grow. Does have it's downsides, though. For example, I feel a little more clueless and powerless than usual when things like spotting and yellowing appear since I have so little input and not much I can change to try and correct on any issues. Trying to keep the water in the rez for the Blumat's at 6.8 is all I can really do since there are no nutes to adjust, etc.... Reading around some of the other Kindsoil grows and reviews, there may be some tweaks that some are looking at to optimize the soil a little more for auto's that I'll be paying attention to and maybe trying out some myself on future grows.
As for the watering, they're drinking quite a bit, though it does vary from day to day. I don't really have a way to say exactly how much with the way everything is setup, but I would guestimate that between the three they are using about 1-1.5 gallons a day on average (some days more, some less).

Oh yea...I also added a little 6" clip on fan just to move a little air around the top of the plants. Plenty of air movement under the canopy, but with the Automazar take over of the closet, it's kind of overgrown my tower fan. Could start up my rant about how nobody make oscillating small fans, but that's all just the same old song and dance.
Noticed something this AM that anyone reading along for the Blumat's might find interesting. Seeing that there is some nice, visible root growth really sticking up out of the dirt right around where the drippers are at.
Hard to capture in a shot without being able to move the pots much, but tried to get up under their skirts and give a peek...

Great Progress. Where did that fan go? I bet your beast plants eat it for dinner?
