Not2sure getting back to autos 🏍

Talk to someone at autopot but yea smart pot brand works I was told…
Like I said my local store has the fabric pot pots and I like em and their cheap but not easy to find.
Lists dome garden supplies in Ontario California as a seller but they don’t have an online store really…

the 3 gal smart pots have same dia… 5 gal are bigger round… probably still fit but not as good. google says there are all kinds of generic 10" dia fabric bags… didnt check to make sure. look under autopot accessories or something like that where you purchased the module… where I got mine has replacement bags for $6.00… betting most places have same…

I have moved on from this and consider it a lesson learned. I found the correct pots at a little over2 1/2 times the price of a normal 5 gallon bag. What burns me is that they choose to screw their customers like this. Their 6.6l set up takes standard 5 gallon soft pots. I found 10 hard plastic pots on amazon that will fit these for 20.00 I ordered them. I am not over paying for these pots. I would rather use fabric pots. And may eat another 100 and order the trays that should be used as to these. I am moving past this and continue on with the grow. I would recommend avoiding this system and getting the 6.6l one if you want to use soft pots though :+1:

I did get the tent cleaned up a bit and spent some time re setting up my scrogs. I narrowed them from 30" back to 24" I got better light coverage that way. Tonight I will be transplanting and getting these into the big tent here. :grin: It looks kind of empty doesn’t it

Wait… The XL system is all the same it’s the round one, the only one you can use soft pots in and it comes with plastic 6.6l plastic it fabric.
Unless your saying something else?
The smaller system is square and soft pots won’t work right

Yeah I’m still confused about the pot size but thats ok , I’m sure you will get it straightened out . Your tents look good even without plants . Once you get them set up and running I think you will like them .

I talked with customer service and was told. All the pots are the same. My autopot 2 is the same as the 6.6 They only change the upper pot size. I let him know there add dimensions are miss leading as it show 12" And they have the same 10" lower section as what I have. He told me to check out Liquid Jades youtube channel. I guess he has found other work arounds and good tips. I have not went there yet. I will be transplanting tonight though. I am happy about that. Once that is done. I will feel like things are back in my control again :grin: After I get the new pots tomorrow. i will add the next pictures with these in their final pots. I am also thinking I have room in here for a Swiss Cheese auto if I want. I will have one a pot free to test with. maybe use a 3 gallon pot for it

Yeah that seems like a bunch of stuff I don’t have time for… especially customer service lol. I use opulent 5g fabric pots. If I use 4 or 3g of medium I can roll my fabric pots down. They are the last company I ordered from on Amazon that I had to call customer service for, and I had a small…and I mean insignificant defect and they replaced my whole order no questions asked and told me to keep the first order. Now I’m a customer for life. I’m set to watching. I’m gonna run my new setup next to my old and compare the GH schedule you gave me vs Jack’s 3-2-1 and see what the differences are.

@Rayofsunshine, I will be top feeding 2 of the plants in this grow. The other 3 I will be trying auto pot with. They still have about 3 weeks before they get interesting. All are in coco

Ok, this grow just kind of fell apart. So I guess i am starting some what new now :laughing:

What we have now in the big tent is the TXL auto at 5 weeks old. We are back to cold nights. it was 48 in the tent last night. I am going to have to set the heater to run during the coldest part of the night and hope it helps.
Here she is in a auto pot. I put her in here 2 nights ago and she has all ready grown 1/2"
I turned the air dome on tonight

I still have the little CBD auto. Same age

A pink kush auto that struggled. but is finding her feet

And a Critical mass photo. This one is starting off great. it is just over 2 weeks old

I have a Sour diesel photo and auto under a cfl. As well as another fruit punch. With a little luck. They will survive this cold we are getting.

The inside of my tent was at 61F this morning. That’s a little too cold.

I am fine with 61. That is a normal low for me. but not in the 40 - 50 lol I see I forgot the first picture of the TXL in the auto pot :roll_eyes:

2 days in and she is a 1/2" taller.

Here is the 16th

And today.

Yup I am watching it but thanks for the tag as always👍

That one sure has grown well eh but they don’t like the cold.
Your cbd plant (what strain is this from who?) had 2 crazy fan leafs sticking out that’s odd.

Hey what’s with the wire is that some sort of adjustable SCOG? I thought it was your autopot lines for a second.

Air domes on! Should be boosting in no time, hopefully my little one will catch up soon and I can turn my system on.

Thanks @Nicky. The CBD is from and being grown for a friend. I will find out the info on it though. I just know it i a 20:1 I have got a few that started off with a couple long leaves. Then fill in later. And yes. my scrog is adjustable. I leave the lines on the outer edge to make watering easier. Then only move the lines as I need then. When the grow is finished. I can un clip them from the edge and have the scrog line free to harvest. This is an old video showing it. The scrog is the same. but my tent is set up different now. All my good racks are back in here

Did you buy or make the bungy lines? That is sooo smart! If I grow photos I’m going to take your and @merlin44 SCOG designs and make them have a baby lol
For someone who doesn’t use your such a pillar of this community and such a wealth of information.

Things are the same in here pretty much. Every one are growing at their own pace. What feels like weeks here are in reality. Only days. I never think any one is really progressing till I look at the previous weeks pictures. And realize some of these are still only a few weeks old.

The TXL in the auto pot seems to be enjoying it as mush as I am. Boy do these make growing easy.

@Ning The CBD is looking good. These CBD twins are a lot smaller than what I normally see.

The Pink kush is in pre flower. I don’t expect her to grow a lot from what she is showing. But she is at least still in there :grin:

The Sour diesel photo is happy. I was thinking this was tiny but she is only a few weeks old. Soon to get up graded to a bigger pot

The Sour diesel auto. Well. She is no more. Not thinking. She got hammered with 650pm nutes at a week old. She turned brown and gave up the ship fast.

Fortunately. I realized that before doing the same to the Fruit punch auto here. She was the youngest of all. I have learned my lesson. I can not start tiny ones like this in large pots. It just doesn’t work for me. From here out. Every one gets a 1 gallon pot before a final pot.

This is an off shoot. Part of this grow. but not a part :laughing: This is going to be one for me to try and further my education. It is the Critical mass cbd photo. She will be an honest attempt at a mainline. Or some thing similar. I left her with 4 branches rather than 2 to start. ll 4 are super short. I will determine later on if I keep all 4 or try a traditional mainline.
Here she was before her hair cut at 4 weeks old

I only had to trim a little from her since this was a planned adventure

When we were done. She still looked full. I made sure to leave all the fan leaves this time. I learned from the past.

I have 2 RQS diesels I dropped the other night. @ravenchief was talking about doing an auto in a 1 gallon pot. I think these are small plants. SO i can going to see what happens if they get left in a 1 gallon start to finish.

And because it just wouldn’t be me if I didn’t start to many plants. I plan on dropping a couple photos in the near future. One bred by @OttzPot, and one by @MattyBearILGM
I have room for a few more now :laughing: But would need more lights :grimacing
