DB Cooper's Autopot Grow

I picked up a few clones from a friend. I’m going to be transplanting them into five gallon fabric pots and using the autopot system. This is my first time doing anything other than hand watering so its going to be new to me.

From what I am told the strain is Bred by 42 B.S.E. x G-13

I actually got the clones a week ago and was feeding them just pH water and recharge in the Solo cup to let them adjust to the new home. I transplanted them just yesterday into the 5 gallon pots.

Pictures of the transplant that went nice and smooth.
My friend had a different way of watering plants in the Solo cups.
The inside cup had holes in it but the outside cup wasn’t and he was just filling up the outside cup and letting the plants bottom feed. Root structure does look great at the bottom.



The plants are in a mixture of coco and perlite.
I am going to be hand watering everyday until the plants establish themselves.
I’m trying to use the new Jack’s 4 / 2 formula thanks to JJ and others on here.

When are you planning on putting them in auto pots?

Yes just as soon as they get enough roots I’m going to have a Autopots system. I really like the results I got on my last grow from using Coco but the watering was too much time for me.

They have more than enough roots to put into auto pots.

@beardless yes 4grams part a 2g part b no Epsom. I saw this on jj’s last grow and it went great. It seems upping the part a has enough to make up for no Epsom.
Green gene has a yt video about it.

Does the A contain enough calcium for the coco? Or do you use a cal mag product as well?

@Adt187 no additional Cal mag should be needed. I think this is the video where he talks about how he switched to the different 4/2 recipe.

Update from last week… The plants have reacted well from the transplant. I was intending to having to water this cocoa everyday. But right now it seems very moist and I’ve been doing every other day watering at the edges of the pot to try to make the roots search for water.

I’ve started doing some low stress training. The plant on the right had a couple nodes almost catch up to the top when they were transplanted so I put some clips on them. I’ve got to get some better LST clips the ones I have are too small. I can’t even fit them on the plant on the left.

I’ll probably be topping both these plants but wanted to give a little while to recover more from the transplant. I’m expecting to put the plants in the autopot trays next week.

And here is a couple pictures from today. I’m always amazed how quickly the plants bounce back.

My first Monday music video is from ok go. I saw them perform live while I was in my kayak. In fact you could say I was in the backstage area that night. They make the coolest music videos you’ve ever seen like this one…

Update the plants are looking good I’m watering everyday now. Had to put a little extra cocoa on top because Roots were starting to poke through.
I got the LST clips off just barely without doing much damage to the plant. The clip that was on the main stem I had to cut off.

Thanks, @Fieldofdreams, didn’t even realize it came around. I’ve been real busy for the last week or so.

So here we are a few days later, I have a bunch of new tops coming up from the LST. I ordered some of CoyoteCodys 3d printed clips and I have to say there are major improvement over what I had. I’m still in the process of getting them on more of the branches. I’m waiting for some of them to grow longer in between nodes.
The plants are doing well in the autopots. The valve at the end of the line is got to slow leak and I need to replace it. Hopefully I can find that at home Depot because my local grow shop just closed down.
