🌿 OVERVIEW
╰────────────────────────────────────╯
The Gorilla Cookies Auto trio hit a rough patch but pulled through! 🌿 Monday was smooth sailing, but Tuesday’s 3L feed to the fabric pot plant went overboard—runoff screamed 4.2 EC / 2140 PPM, way too spicy! 🔥 Plastic pot plants chilled, no water needed. Fabric pot plants still trailed their plastic pals. Midweek (Wed–Sat) was a ghost town, and by Saturday, growth stalled hard—soil water crashed to 16%. Sunday’s 3L feed (1.6 EC) saved the day, with runoff at a happy 1.5 EC / 800 PPM. Conditions stayed decent, but a high VPD (1.4) midweek and low CO₂ (500 ppm) didn’t help. Light bumped to 65% but dropped to 50% Sunday. 😅
Lessons:
→Nutrient Alert: Overfeeding keeps haunting the fabric pot—use lighter feeds (1.0–1.2 EC) for autos.
→Don’t Ghost: Midweek neglect killed momentum. Set reminders or automate watering to avoid stalling. ⏰
→VPD Matters: High VPD (1.4) stressed plants. Boost humidity to keep it 1.0–1.2. 💨
Fabric Pot Woes: Dries faster than plastic—check soil daily to keep it consistent. 👀
Takeaway: Overfeeding and a hands-off midweek slowed things down, but Sunday’s fix got ‘em back on track. Stay on top of feeds and water! 🚀😉
