@BigGeekSmallGrower, wow! those looks really amazing :heart_eyes: strain info said plant would be compact :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: those are massive :joy: autopot's really does the job well :fire: hope you get everything good with your grow! Your diary makes me want even more to try autopot! Cant wait for the next run! Maybe going to need a bigger tent :grin:

@@Hortibro, Thanks mate! Warming words, love it!:blush:Yeah they stretched quite a lot, but since its only a single phenotype from 1 bean only it may be an outlier :relieved: Autopots are definitively a great system. But you´ll have to mix the right structure of substrate for them to work nicely, had a lot of overwatering issues in the first runs as the water level never really drops to 0 as long as the reservoir is kept filled. I use 50/50 Coco/Perlite right now with a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom, but with soil its a bit more complicated. Run a big part of aeration ingredients like rice hulls or perlite. Since the plants wont have any water deficiency issues when using Autopots, you wont need as much of water holding capacity in your substrate and a quicker dryback is desirable. Make sure to not start bottom watering before you find the substrate more or less fully rooted to avoid anoxic conditions and I really recommend running them with airdomes (Its an Autopot product but I 3D-printed mine and use them with aqaurium bubble stones during lights on period). With those you can actively oxygenate the part thats often submerged in water. Just my learnings of a full year, summed up in too long of a comment LOL. Hope I could help you with some of it:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I think I have it on the final spurt now with the carbon filter placed at the tent bottom, now they have a little more room to the lights :heart_eyes: Next run I will try the tray2grow module by Autopot together with a drip irrigation setup and rockwool cubes on slabs.

@@Hortibro, Thanks mate! Yeah that would be the only option left without letting the scissors dance around the tops...would love to avoid that LOL. Since I have no free time available to tackle the exhaust repositioning this weekend Ill probably look into that afterwards, but i will need more piping to do that too. Maybe Ill just take advantage of the situation and realize air transport out of the room. Right now it goes into the room itself... I tghinned them out quite heavily yesterday, but still massive plants :) Veg time is difficult to say. Took the cuttings when i flipped the previous run into flower and rested them near a window. By week 4 of flower I repotted them and started to give them light to pre-veg to size, before flipping them the night after taking out the previous, dried harvest. No time wasted sir :sunglasses:
