As this is my 1st attempt please be gentle!!  :spar:

Finally switched on auto pots today after hand-watering for just over a week, also switched lighting to 13/11 today for 1 week before they start 12/12.

Bought a small air pump with just 1 outlet for now and put long air stone in tank, seems to be doing ok but a 2 outlet pump will be used soon.

The strain is Dr Crippling's Incredible Bulk, which I've been growing in soil for awhile now but this is my 2nd coco grow and 1st in auto pots.

 

Ive vegged the 6 plants for about 4 weeks and used plastic bendz to try to attempt some training but veg area is small and skills very limited lol

They are in 15L pots with 1 1/2 inch of vital inks pebbles at bottom, then filled with Canna Pro Coco, did want to do a 30/70 mix by adding perlite to coco but forgot to buy coco, years of previous drug abuse in my 20's have shot my memory to bits so I forget everything, even this diary probably!

 

Nutes I'm using are Canna Coco A+B, Canna Cal-Mag, Green Planet Massive and Buddha's Tree PK 9-18

The only issue I have is the waters very soft in my area, must be all the sheep p#ssing as it runs down mountains lol

 

The before ppm is just 094 :wtfsign: and even after I added (per litre) 2.5ml of A+B, 1.5ml of cal-mag, 3ml of Massive and 0.25 of pk 9-18 the ppm of the feed is about 580 so will this cause any under-feeding problems?

 

Ive took some poor pics with my ancient lg phone but hopefully I can use my better half's phone next time.

 

Hope ive done this right and all  :help:  is greatly appreciated :D

 

My bg is as low but with just the canna a n b it would be a ppm of 6-700 at 1.5 ml p l, you sure the ppm meter is working right

Not sure dekay but ive only just realised that theres calibration solution available for the ppm pen, ive got the solution for ph pen but didnt know about other 1.

Tho when i used buddy with the A+B nutes, the ppm pen used to measure well into 990+ but ill get it checked anyway.

Thanks for looking in 😀

Autopot newbie question time lol 😀

Can i take the pots out of tray when they are ready to be lollypopped?

Im not sure if this would cause issues with the system but back 3 plants will be difficult to trim otherwise.

Will take some pics tomorrow but nothing much is happening, forgot to add that its a 1m x 1m tent with an air-cooled 600w hps light.

I have a new omega 600w son-t bulb to put in on monday which is just for flowering, bulb in there right now is sunmaster duel spec but its been used for about 15 mths and i recently read that its best to change bulb every grow, costly but might be worth it lol 👍

Just a quick update because tbh not much is happening right now.

 

Plants seem to be well and growing as normal and I'm lovin the lazy mans way of growing :pimped:

 

Putting new bulb in there tomorrow and I've ordered a stop-tap for 16mm iceline so I can clean filter and drain 100L reservoir when needed.

 

Took a few pics but still not good quality because I had to use my crap phone lol

 

Any fine growers have any answers to the question I asked in my last post about being able to remove pots so I can lollypop back plants?
