New grow room Autopot grow

I forgot to turn the system back on after my last time adding water to the reservoir. The plants dried back a little but didn't begin to droop or wilt so it wasn't too bad. I realized it this morning because the water level in the res was the same as the night before. Oops.

I sprayed lock lubricant in the door lock and now the keys are working a hell of a lot better. There were points in which I didn't even want to go to the grow because the keys were giving me such problems.

For the second time in a week, I refilled the res and forgot to turn it back on. I don't think the plants were too negatively harmed but I should be more careful in the future.

Attached are random pics of random budsites.











My clones are starting to root as well.



No picture but the plants in the veg tent are doing alright also. I'm going to replace a couple of the plants in there with the new clones next week.

The flower plants are powering though and getting closer to harvest. They are starting to show a lot of color.



The veg plants have been completely neglected. The VPD gets down to .4 due to high heat in the closed tent. All I've done is fill the res and let them grow themselves.



My Melted Strawberries and Rainbow Guava snips have rooted and I will be replacing some of the plants in the veg tent this weekend.

Worked like a charm haha I thought the lock was broken. You want a Teflon based lube. I used 3 in 1 dry lock dry lube

The Hive plants in the middle have pretty much depleted all their nitrogen but are still growing fine and should finish up in a couple weeks. However, the trichomes are still clear so it may be a little longer than that.



I didn't get a photo but the plants in veg are growing pretty big. I'm going to do a deep defoliation on them to make sure they will fit in the veg tent for at least another week or two before harvest.

I haven't looked at the whole thread, but have you analyzed the root use on those large bags after harvest? Are they using all that mixture, and what size are you running?

This is my first run. They are 9 gallon fabric pots. I would not recommend going that big as it is unnecessary with autopots but because I feed the coco and not the plants, the bigger pots are useful. Just like they would be if you were growing using a super or living soil. If you feed salt nutes then I would stick with the 6 gallon pots max.
