Indoor NL Auto-1-plant-grow transition to AutoCob and MegaCrop.

Thanks very much!
I hope my dry-weight estimate is pretty accurate. lol..

Dry weight ~ 1/5 wet weight

I'm thinking of switching to the Octopots.
Are you glad you used it?
Am I correct in assuming that as the reservoir level gets low, you just add more pHed nute solution, but never have to emply the res and replace the solution?

Yes, I really liked it. You just mix your nutes "per gallon" and then add as necessary to keep the level where it should be. You PH it as you said but you never empty and replace unless I guess you do something really bad and need to switch gears fast. I did that at one point, WAY too much nutes and so I just took the water out of the resevoir and replaced it with PH water and then a day or two later started adding back nutes in smaller amounts.

Another advantage is that since there is no runoff, you save water and you save nutes; they recommend that you do a max of "half strength" because you are never losing nutes.

Dry weight total: 4.4 oz.
They only hung 3 days; Sunday to Wed but they felt dry so I didn't want to OVER dry them. I put hygrometers and Boveda 62% packs in each jar to make sure they stayed relatively close to 62%.

Now on to the cure!

Well...it's day 64 and day 49 for the second string team.
NL Auto = 64 days
Auto Blueberry = 49 days.

They were jammed in a tiny tent for much of their life while my main plant too TOO LONG to finish...so they look weird. Hopefully I'll get at least and oz and a half or two oz each plant.

They are now in their own larger tent and doing fairly well.

Thanks! I learned a lot this time around.

Day 71 for the NL auto second string plant.
Day 56 for the Auto Blueberry.

Things are going good, had a bit of a rough time a while back, you can see the leaves suffering about half way down the plant but the new growth is ok...maybe a "tad" brown tipped due to too much N but I'm not going to stress on that.

I figure that I have another month to go on the NL plant and another 45 to 50 days on the Blueberry.

One interesting thing, the NL auto is sticky and smelling very dank! (Unlike my other NL auto that just finished.) I think that's a good sign.

This NL got no abuse like the other one did except I bent over one branch a while back but mostly I left them alone.

Well..home from my week's vacation and I checked the trichomes. I think that I'm about a week or so off from harvesting. I see a few amber triches on one of the two buds that I checked but I'm going to wait.

Time to flush. Give her 2 more weeks and she will reward you more than a week. This is the time your flowers bulk up and put on weight. I'd give them 2 weeks instead of 1. What's another week when you made it this far?

You are 100% right. I can wait. I won't make the mistake that I made on the last harvest.
