Skunk in Autopots:my 3rd indoor grow

[edsthreads]

stunning progress jats.. really incredible growth.. I will be using coco next time for sure! I am not having the same results from using clay pebbles.

Hey edsthreads....... I know,,,what a plant.....they said it was a super skunk ((the peep who sold the clones))......a very vigorous grower....and teamed with the autopots and the coco a winning combo....... :^D

 

[jats]

Hey All.....its trimming time....cleared up the little stuff underneath the plants

 

[jats]

Hey All...... Its 3 1/2 weeks since I flipped the switch on my girlz......and they are starting to chunk up a bit now as well as still growing about 3 inches a day.... I can virtually see them growing...beautiful

and the clones and seedlings are all doing really well now...that I've started feeding them....

the seedlings did freak out a bit....but they are getting better everyday.....

I'm bumping these pics...... enjoy

 

[edsthreads]

well worth a bump jats! I'm amazed how well they are doing.. I think I have a either the wrong growing medium or the plant is genetically not the best (although I got my seeds from sensi) Tell me, what nutes do you use jats? apologies if you have already answered this one.. I'm wondering if I can continue to use my nutes but with coco next time instead of clay pebbles? (I use 'Ferro' nutes from Holland) You have already converted me to autopots & now I will use coco next time! Any advice for a coco noob?

Hey Edsthreads ,,,,, I'm using advanced nutrients bloom food and veg food for the clones,seedlings and the veg stage of my girls....its not esp for coco and I feed at half strength....there is a photo of the containers a couple of pages back... when I run out I'm going to get the coco specific nutrients as I'm sure they will work even better ..... my plants are very vigorous and it does have a lot to do with the coco but also the super skunk genetics.... I think ... :^)

I will probably do the same then..I'm guessing you do that (half strength nutes) as the coco holds the nutrients better than other mediums?.. I will look into coco specific nutrients.. although I have over £300 of Ferro nutes that I have to use up first!

Oh yeah.. what type of coco are you using? Just a regular one like Canna Coco? & did you add any other mediums like perlite etc?

 

[jats]

I'm using a fully rinsed and ph and ca and mg buffered coco...made by www.dutchglory.com............ I did'nt buy it online,,it was at my local hydro shop.... I'd say it was the same as cana..
the half strength feeding is because in the autopots there is no run off so it makes sense not to build up the levels too much.... the nutrients are used more efficiently then in feed to waste systems .... this is my 2nd grow with coco and I'm still using up my old nutrients too....but they have worked gr8....
this is a photo of my 1st grow with coco ((using feed to waste)) and skunk at 5 1/2 weeks in flower

Nice grow jats. Those are some big girls.
I'm a RTW coco grower and I love the stuff.
I have used the auto pots as well, but with perlite and with good results.

Check out OziMagic organic products. They compliment the coco wonderfully & are available locally.

 

[jats]

Hi mma ,,,good to meet another autopot grower ,,did u use prelite alone or mixed with coco..? thankz for the tip about Ozimagic..... :^)

 

[Knickers]

[jats]

I just want to say that my girlz are looking awesome....they are tucked in for the night at the minute but 1st thing 2mozza I will post some more pikkiz....
oh sorry Knickers ,,no can do.. but why don't you join the AUSSIE GROWERS thread that I started 2day....for the fun of it,,, and for the excellent chance of checking out some home grown talent....... :^)

 

[jats]

Hey All....just blazing a phat one......hope you are too ....... Its been 4 1/2 wks since I flipped the switch on my girls....they have finely stopped growing up now and are growing out now.....chunking right up and getting a frosty covering of crystals.... BEAUTIFUL....

looking nice huh......
and the seedlings and clones are going great guns...awesome stuff

 

[jats]

I jus realised there was some blurry arse photos in that lot... try these

hey mate im a aussie grower to. did you make your own res or did you just use the one that came with the auto pots?

also how do you go about hooking more than one single auto pot up can you please explain how you put your system together an what you used

do you use any vermiculite in you coco so it aint so dense an easier for root growth?

 

[jats]

hey jzs... lets see now... yes I put my own res together ...its a 250 litre one..massive
there is a main hose running from the res and the individual pots are connected via smaller hoses which are pugged in by you where you want them.....you cut the lengths you will need them...and you fill up the res and your away it feeds the water/nutrients to the plants as they need it via gravity ...very simple and easy...even I could put it together you will get all the tubes etc you need from who ever sells you the autopots... I use the coco on its own..because I want to try recycling it.... good luck with that

so you just connect the smaller hoses that come with the auto pot into a main hose?

how did you do it look like you just drilled a hole an then siliconed the smaller hose onto the bigger one or did you
use gromets?

 

[jats]

its way simpler than siliconing anything.... its more like a grommet ,,I guess ... you would prob use the same stuff to set up a drip feed system... I'll take some photos 2mozza and show you ...

 

[jzs147]

sweet thanks man.

would't mind doing that system looks nice an easy to maintain

 

[jats]

just so you know.....I'm not bragging or nothing....but I'm a woman.....you can still call me man though........
