This will be my second ever grow. My first was a few bag seeds in Happy Frog soil. After battling nutrient lockout, pH problems, etc, I had to harvest early due to me going on vacation. Despite the issues I had, it still resulted in an average quality bud.
I changed a few things for this grow to hopefully make my life a little easier and produce a better quality product for myself and my friends, who get to reap the rewards as I am only an occasional user.
My current setup is:
AC Infinity 5x5 tent
AC Infinity exhaust fan, duct and carbon filter
Hyphotonflux HPF4000
Autopots 6 spring pot (only using 4)
Flexitank Pro 25 gallon reservoir
I will be attempting to grow ILGM Grandaddy Purple in coco using Jack’s 321.
I drew inspiration from @Hellraiser and @Nicky after reading their jacks and autopots threads.
You jumped right into the deep end of the pool. I preload coco with a good soaking with Jack’s. At the stage your girls are at I will give water only or a couple days then start adding Jack’s at lower rates. Once they get a couple sets of leaves then I let Jack rip.
Jack’s is supposed be pretty easy on plants. When my current grow finishes up in a couple weeks GDP is next in queue. From a little over two weeks ago
Looking good bro! I grew gdp autos last run and it’s one of my favorite smokes. You will also like the auto pots. My first run with them and the plants really like it. @beardless I didn’t realize till just now you were in auto pots with Jack’s also.
And that controller is pretty cool. Can you give updates on that build?
Not familiar with the strain, but are these looking a touch yellow? Maybe a cal/mag deficiency? I’m still using full strength Jacks 321 every other day, water until runoff.
Should be moving them into the autopots this weekend.
One question I still have and don’t seem to have a definitive answer is, are clay balls in the bottom of the autopots needed? Or is it mostly growers preference?
Hoping other Autopots growers like @Nicky and others will chime in.
