Its an auto :thumbs:
I think I tried to grow a freebie of that... and it didn't pop for me. I could also just be making shit up.
About 7 weeks old from seed. Right now there finishing up the first week of flowering nutes.
So I have changed almost every aspect of my growing methods this time around and so far to date I have not achieved such deep dark lush green leaves .
I am sure a big part to this is the nutrients ph`ing the water to 6.5 (10 liters a go) then over a 7 day period the ph rises slowly to 6.8 /9 which is the ideal ph range for everything when feeding daily. Epsom salt are added at 2 tbs per 10 liters and done once a week. these seem to like there mag
So theses been no ph`ing except to monitor the rez, No mixing up water/nutes every day or other, so now if the plants need water I give it to them. and just mix up 10 liters as and when I run out. ( i may need a bigger rez further into flower i go)
I have been super strict on the watering throughout this whole grow, giving the plants just enough water for the plants to raise up and back down over 24hrs so have been feeding daily rather then weekly. I keep on slowly stepping the water up every few days till they do not show signs of dehydration 24hrs later but this amount is changing weekly, if the plants look good 24hrs later they get another day but by 48hrs they are always looking thirsty and a little unhappy.
I have just today stepped it up to 3 liters per plant for a 24-hour period and now awaiting to see how the plants look tomorrow morning. 2 liters in the top of nutrient mixed water and 1 liter in the tray strait out the tap. 2 liters a day has not been enough for the last 2/3 days.
Today is the start of the 2nd week of flowering nutes.
Still a bit of fluff left to cut out,
2 bent over and el naturel.

So I watered again this morning, the same as yesterday 2 liters of nute mixed water went in the top, and 1 liter strait out the tap went into the tray. The plants where proper thirsty and droopy at 6 am this morning ( work head still on) so that is when they got watered.
So some photos,
The tray was like this yesterday after watering, the fabric pot was sat in a good inch of water yet was totally dry this morning at 6am
Today 7 hours after watering 6.5 suk it up girls. So as I've nothing to really do, I will continue to check the ph of the tray water today/night
6.5 after few mins
Now i have never used a fabric pot before, but already the root structure has amazed me the amount of roots at the top of the pot, i have never seen this with a plastic pot. I normally found them about an inch below the soil.
You may notice a thin layer of vermiculite on each pot, this was put there to try and stop the soil drying out as i was only watering a small amount of water in the center of the pot and under a hot hps light the soil was getting really dry and as there were 10 25kg bags laying around on-site I decided to help myself to a carrier bag full.
I think this is something I am going to continue to do in future grows.
A little scrap back can reveal so much
And on to today, theses roots where not there yesterday evening before bed. In fact i have not seen any roots poke out the side till now, but look at them nice fat white roots
Giving some idea to how well the roots have grown.
Byebye plastic pots
Reaching for the sky.. I will try and replicate the photo below tomorrow morning to show how badly theses plants droop overnight. I cannot understand why though.
