New Grower Newbie Autoflower Grow (autopot)

[newautoflower grower]

I have this one ..

its a 6" 440 CFM inline fan installed with a carbon filter attached. I think I am glad it will be in on Friday so I can keep an eye on the humidity .. right now I am keeping the humidity to 50-54% because I have the tangerine dream ( 9 days old) so I was thinking to keep it a bit higher . once she is a bit bigger I am going to bring it down to 40-50% . My grow is 2 - DD both 17 Days old, 1 Lemon Haze 12 Days old and 1 Tangerine dream 9 days old.. I will take them all out of the tent this weekend and take better pictures of them .. I find the light too bright for pictures .. I am getting sooooooooooo excited to start the autopots for the DD this weekend .. Day 20 will be on Friday but I think I am going to wait till Saturday to start her up .. just to keep an eye on it for a couple of days

Good thinking and planning. So that fan has a built in controller on a captive cord (hard wired in) right? And that controller allows you to control the fan speed? If so, you'l have to use it still so just run it full speed and plug it in to your new temp based controller in the COOL outlet. The Inkbird is easy to use but the manual is shitty. First plug it in. And put the sensor in your tent in a good spot. So what you want to do is press and hold the SET button and it will kick in to the settings logic. The first temp is the temp you want the fan to turn on at. Like I set mine to 22C right now. So use the up/down keys to set the max temp you want your tent at. Then hit set once. next will be the HEAT +/- differential which you are not using to hit SET again. Next is the COOLING differential. Set that to be something like 2 degrees. At this point you are almost done. There are alarm settings but you don't need that. Unless you do but not sure how that will help you with power outages when travelling. So now hit SET and hold it until it flashes. This will save the settings. This is important! One more tip is I'd unplug the controller once you got it setup and then plug it back in.

It’s a Laker I pulled out of the river up here, rare catch, considering the lake they come out of is 300+ km north of where I was haha. Don’t get me started on fishing though, I will completely takeover this thread [emoji23][emoji1787]

There are a few people on here that love fishing and have posted lots about the subject. I love to see it myself but some people might not. That is a big laker to be coming out of a river. or even to be coming out of a lake for that matter. That is still no match for this beast that came out of the Fraser river. Its like reeling in a bus. Sorry could not resist :smoking:

HI AFN Friends … A bit of an update 1 tangerine Dream, 1 Lemon Haze and 2 Dark Devils

Tangerine Dream - 13 Days Old .. Planted her into her Autopot 2 days ago .. Not as much roots as the DD .. I was debating if I should just leave her in her solo cup but decided to plant her anyways .. She is taking off … I have her on 250 PPM of nutes and she seems to be doing well .. She has developed new leaves and grown a inch in 2 days

Lemon Haze 16 Days Old

For taking such a long time to pop above soil .. She is really taking off she is on 650 PPM nutes starting today. I read that when the leaves are touching the side of the Autopot you can turn it on .. So I did .. Not sure if its right or wrong or just my excited about getting all the plants on the system LOL

Dark Devils Both are 21 days old and also on the autopot system .. Started the system Yesterday .. Decided to take the day off so I could watch them for a few days. I put in the reservoir 650 PPM … The leaves on these are huge.. I have a large hand for a female and these leaves are bigger than my hand .. I decided to LSD Samara as her leaves were so big and I noticed that the undergrowth wasn't growing like Lilith so I LST her yesterday and this morning her undergrowth spurted .. She was 7 inch tall so I knew I could do it with no issues … I decided to LST Lilith today as she was 7.5 inches tall and figured what the heck lets LST her too … I still have a lot learning and some of my learnings are with the OPTIC 6 .. gauging the height .. they are at 36 inches and I am not sure if I am going to lower it or not .. I will be checking day by day and gauging I guess … in Veg OPTIC website says 24-36 inches but man those lights are hot.. I was in the tent under the light and I felt like I was getting sunburn … LOL The one leaf on Samara took a beating due to the fluctuations of heat and cold .. but the rest of the plant seems to be doing really well .. Lilith got it too but I don't think she was affected as bad. The temperature control came in and its on the tent so this should take care of any fluctuations of temps .. thanks to @lunarman for the suggestion

DD - Samara - with growth starting to take off ..

Dark Devil Lilith

I forgot to add .. I couldn't use the 40 or 70 gallons l/m pumps. I am an aquarists and those pumps were given to me yearsssssssssss ago … now I remember why I didn't put them on my tank... the main air valve are about 8mm and 10mm and the air valve distributors take 1/4 id line .. the airline for the autopots are regular airline hose which is about 4mm. I had to use the 12 l/m for now … I ordered a couple of adapters/reducers for them so that I can use it on these autopots but its going to take a few weeks for them to come in .. I might have to wait till the next grow pending on when they come in .. I couldn't find the any in Canada or USA .. I found them in the UK ..

Hey @newautoflower grower thanks for tagging me on the update. Your garden is looking really good. I like your LST. Couple of weeks from now you'll be loving the nice canopies because of the training.
