Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[Bob's Auto's]

EU- Probably have to ask @Bob's Auto's . I think he's mainland EU somewhere.

Depends on what @Zaaboot actually needs. If he's growing with chemical nutes adding something like the BioTabs nutrient line would be detrimental for the bacteria and myco in the product.

US? EU? Or UK? (since they're out of the EU.)

I don't know for a plain bloom formula anymore. I ran DynaGro which did just fine on the "Gro" only with some cal/mag and silica here and there. Same with the current line. Just a little tweak here and there but one "mix" start to finish.

US - I've been using Jacks 321 with great success in coco. It's a full on 3 part blend but it runs start to finish. They have a couple add-ons but the basics are all you really need. I don't know what shipping would be across the pond. You would really only have to order a bag of A and B. The third part is just plain Epsom Salt that I suspect can be found very cheaply at the grocery store. I think it definitely need to be run with 0ppm RO water.

UK - I see a lot of the coco cats running Canna A/B. Must work well and be easily available over there.

EU- Probably have to ask @Bob's Auto's . I think he's mainland EU somewhere.


Too bad about the snacks being scarce. Just another reason to have to go fishing again isnt it? hahaha

Thanks muchly - very helpful, I do like the sound of the trio from start to finish, it is one less bottle!
Canna, I have run the full line up before on reg/fems nothing out of the ordinary works as labeled, but pricey.

Hey Bobs - yip, the Wilma is a chem zone
after trying a handful of organic stuff it just makes a mess, so it’s bottled chemicals only.

on another note, I did stock up on bio tabs Thinking I would get another few runs out of the soil tent, but no…if the room extension gets built that tent will be bio tabs following your Diaries it is truly impressive how lush those plants are

The SBAK 1 @SuperSativaSeedClub_John came down in April, today I opened the grove bag and was greeted with a very fresh pine smell with a spicy peppery follow up.
The buds were in great shape after sitting in the grove & fridge for a few months - just right texture, very slightly crisp to the touch, sticky with a little give.
Breaking open a nugget and you are greeted with a very peppery smell with earth and pine.

The smoke is very smooth, leaving the room smelling of old school Kush, no chemical smell or taste, just that of pine fresh with pepper, the exhale really gives out the earthy spice.
The first joint is a pleasant hit, very relaxing without couchlock, left me active but in my own little world, the second joint left me sitting writing this :smoking:
Overall great plant, very easy to grow, heavy yielder, respectable resin production (hash made from fresh frozen SBAK earlier in the thread somewhere) and a smooth tasty smoke.

Many thanks for your wonderful feedback, great to read! The buds look perfectly trimmed and cured, very tasty, well done. let me know if you want to try the new Auto Purple Punch, not on the market yet.

Hello all - been away again, just got back - so a quickie to show how she is getting along. The frost fairy visited again

feed is still at 2.2EC and PH at 6 today - waiting for the finish line

her nuggets are incredibly solid with a lovely frosting, still fattening up to go but not too long now.
What baffles me is mine always seem to take longer as I have seen the Predator down in 65 days but I have to assume there is two weeks left. Does not bother me regarding time so much - more of a question why

cheers

Shes a beautiful girl m8.

So then, being I am just back from a couple of days away - I am off again in a bit for a week….twat I be!
anyway, got my shit together, and bodged another feeder system for the Wilma. The last tank was massive - so I am using the tank I used for the Blumats in soil.

100ltr tank with one way feed to the Wilma res which has a stop cock cut into the side. The 100 tank has a air stone and a water fan to keep it moving quite aggressively to stop any residue from sitting, EC in the big tank is set at 1.8, with evaporation etc I expect the Wilma res will hover around 2 to 2.2 EC which is what I want.

I shall leave you with a Predator and a Acapulco gold piccy

Adios amigos
Take care all

Hello you lovelies - how are you all? I trust you are all keeping well and spending time in the sun at the beach, river or whatever!
Drives me nuts all these doom mongers saying we are going to melt in to a pool of our own urine whilst trees sing songs and the sun explodes in to 7 pieces with 4 of them heading straight for the M5 Corridor!!! twats

Anyway, once again I have been away for 8 days this time, I set the watering system up before I went and this timer it went without drama. The wilma res is circa 45/50 litres and the water butt I used this time is 100ltrs, I got back late last night and the butt was empty and the water fan had burned out and the wilma res had about an inch swilling around teh bottom...so not bad, they had a drink.
The heat in the garage has been OK, and with the extra insulation that is teh lung room, the temps inside the tent have reached a maximum of 28.7 which is absolutely fine.

Added another 100ltrs to the butt this morning making the nute solution up of Green Haze Bloom A&B, calmag, Buddhas tree PK9-18 to an EC of 2.2, dropped the PGH to 5.8 and will allow that to creep back to 6.2 before dropping it again.

I thought about adding my air conditioning unit to the Inkbird controller this morning but decided against it, waste of electricity and with the high temps not really being that hot I will leave them at their 27/28/29 today and see how it goes the rest of the week.

Started taking pictures but my phone died so only a couple of snaps - the Predator is frosting up like there is no tomorrow (all three are to be fair), her buds are getting nice and fat and have been solid as a rock for a while now. Expecting a week to 10 days more before the chop.
The other two from Auto seeds are doing swimming along - the Acapulco gold has an unholy amount of crystal coating, the Pink Runtz has kept her lovely pink colourings and has continued to fatten up and has some lovely long colas.

When I get charged back up I will take more snaps and post in the other diary to update that with the Auto seeds. Anyway - Top wizard is @Sawney_bean, I have been away for nearly half of this grow, the Predator has essentially grown herself which helps.

Acapulco gold from @Autoseeds.com - stunning lady she is

Pink Runtz

Predator by the one and only

Full tent - Predator top right, PR top left, AG the bottom half

Anyway, on my galivants over the past week I bumped into an old hippy friend of mine down on the coast - anyway, as one must I acquired some of his wares.
A nice bit of Maroc export grade. You can't beat the flavour, I love hash ever so much - and when I make my own it is strong and lovely blah blah blah but never will taste like this

Plants are still on auto pilot, the three of them work well together and will wrap up at similar times so I won't hang around - all three will come down at the same time, and the next four will go in to their 'chicken poo starter home' in the next few days. I will start them off in the drying tent and swap them over once these ladies are down.

Next batch will be:
JLO F2 - a breeder from the US swapped this for some seeds, these seeds came from a cutting of Juanita La Lagrimosa which as been coined the mother of all CBD plants, and has been crossed with an Auto OG to F2.

Two seeds from @SuperSativaSeedClub_John one is Purple Punch and the other Afghan X Northern Lights X Auto, after my last SSSC run I am very much looking forward to these.

The last one is to be decided, either something from my Mephisto box, or something I got in a swap from a chap named QTIP in the US. 9 Hammer x Pure Power Plant, with the PPP coming from a cutting in Colorado and no idea where the hammer came from, PPP was my all time favorite plant for many many years and one of the very first plants I ever grew. I remember it well - I had a little NFT table, a 400w MH bulb and 600w HPS bulb to swap when flowering. I used Canadian Express nutrients. I got the seeds from Amsterdam at the Dutch Passion store must have been in 97 or 98 (as it was released), I grew the gangliest shittiest looking plants the world has ever seen.
I knew not of something called 'stretch' so I kept them growing until they were the height I wanted then flipped, they grew like bastard triffids and took over every nook and cranny in my little manor, very few buds around - but it was all mine and I grew it and the taste is teh one thing I have never forgotten and have not found the same since. Anyway, stoned waffling over for now

Cheerio all
