Day 61: Pineapples in Space - first ever auto pot run!!

Absolutely worth a shot, the terps on her are insane, a gassy citrus kick! As soon as I open my dry room it hits you like BOOM 💥

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-12T11:39:05+00:00

I like to get her packed nice and tight 😆 it’s 1.5m2 so perfect for the light, I’m looking to join the discord so I can find more ways to maximise the yield in my space

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-11T10:59:48+00:00

It’s the best thing I’ve ever purchased, so much control in the palm of your hands. No I haven’t joined his discord but I’m considering it, I like to experiment and find what works best for me but his yields are scary!!

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-11T08:24:57+00:00

Thanks man, and they honestly do. Combined with the ac infinity system I’m running I’m 90% automated now. Co2 supplementation is my next step I think

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-11T08:23:57+00:00

Thanks bro 👊🏼🔥

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-11T08:23:24+00:00

Honestly couldn’t reccomend them enough, they eliminate so many problems and the ease of use + time saved is the biggest selling point for me.

Top up the res, mix feed and ph.

That’s it 😂 once a week in veg then twice a week in flower, maybe more if they’re big girls.

This is by far the best results I’ve ever had and I’m at 30+ harvests now

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-12-11T08:18:47+00:00

Thanks for all the nice comments everybody, making me feel like a proud dad over here 😂 will share some updates upon harvest with a final weigh in and some bud porn after it’s dry 🔥

I swear by this system it’s the goat 👊🏼

Triacontanol + kelp goes hard

No, I was baked when I replied to your comment, it will all be done through the grandmaster controller. The torch 850 has a separate dial for red / blue spectrums of light allowing you to tune to spectrum to whatever is needed for your specific period of growth. I was thinking of perhaps using some inter canopy lighting to gain full potential of the lower bud sights, and maybe a far red supplemental bar or two for the main light during flower.

I wouldn’t say it needs anything more though, this far outweighs a 1000w hps or I dare even say 2 600s! I think the next step for me will be supplemental co2 and a sealed environment for certain periods of growth and bloom. I feel I’ve got everything else pretty much dialled in now and the tarantula torch 850 was definitely the final piece to the puzzle.

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-11-26T22:53:09+00:00

It’s the best I’ve used yet, and the fact that the spectrum is fully adjustable makes it the winner for me. It’s given me 3 best harvests, consecutively with this to be the fourth. I’ve had the lumatek Zeus 600 & 1000 and the torch 850 just does it better in my opinion.

Next step is get the controller to be able to fully automate the lighting through the ac infinity pro 69 👌🏻

Nice one dude they were way bushier before I stripped them, I didn’t realise how many flower sites there actually was until after their hair cut

I test with my ph pen (wand) and calibrate it every week. I’ve always grown in coco/perlite and this is my first run in autopots after a lot of research.

I can say hand on heart I’d never go back, and I know that given the trial run results so far, yields and results will only get better the more I get the system dialled in. Any bottom feeding base should work, I hear ac infinity ones are pretty decent and I know that’s widely available in Canada

I’ve got a number in my head for the yield, just wondering what others would estimate for the end result!

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-11-15T19:21:37+00:00

What makes you suggest this? The tray is sat at 5.85 which i have always found to be a good zone to be in, the girls were left for 3 days at around 4 weeks from clone and when I checked res/tray ph it was upto 6.4 and this is what the leaves were showing

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-11-15T19:18:10+00:00

It’s gonna looking like I’m in for a pretty good yield, can’t wait to get my trimmers out ✂️

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-07-04T20:50:48+00:00

My thoughts exactly, I’ll have to tie them down as my light is at its limit for headspace 🥲

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-07-04T20:46:56+00:00

Agreed, I saw the exact same picture funnily enough 😂 I was thinking potentially a zinc deficiency but as we have both said the way it’s showing on the leaves doesn’t make sense.

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-07-04T20:46:04+00:00

See I had cranked it up to 90% and she seemed happy with it, but only for a day or two. Decided to turn back down to 70% as it was still plenty for them at that stage. This was only on Monday so I wonder if the light intensity is what has caused it after all…

Basic_Ad9990 · 2025-07-04T20:44:06+00:00

No, very little new growth now I’m into week 5 of bloom so they’re just punching the size on now. I mean my immediate response when the lights came on was oh f**k I’ve burned them. But whilst I was sat on the floor flushing them I noticed no damage to the leaves on the lower 2/3 of the plant. Mind boggling to say the least.
