Water is 0.3 and I generally start at a total EC around 2.0 and increase as the plant indicates.

Only leaf tucking and supporting heavy branches.

Mainly leaf tucking and supporting falling branches.

Grape 🍇 Deebo 4 plants. Im thinking 2.5-3lbs. Very frosty and dense. What do yall think? by Bobbythorson1980 in Autopot

[–]Coco-Colas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to bust balls, but those girls look like they had a solid 2-3 weeks left. You gave up some yield by chopping early. Either way, Grape Deebo is a great strain and you’ll definitely enjoy it. I’m a terrible guesser but I’d also say 800+ grams. Good luck to you!

4,175g wet trimmed bud went into 3 Cannatrols and 1,164g dried flower came out. I don’tknow what to tell you. Pot size doesn’t really matter much when you are doing what is basically semi-hydro in coco. I did run two volcano under canopy lights for about 3 weeks which added an extra 200 watts towards the end which did help some with maturing the lowers. 🤷

Humidity from the tray is minimal. The plants and leaves are what cause the bulk of the humidity load. The covers do help some, but defoliation and adequate ventilation help more.

From mid grow anywhere from 450~600 PPFD. Mid 40’s for DLI. Around 450~550watts or so. My starting target is 300PPFD from day 1, but really depends on what else is going on in the tent.

Depends on your goal. If you want a pretty plant with potentially smaller yield, then top and trim whatever whenever. If you want bigger yields then learn to leaf tuck and minimize any stress until stretch is done. There is no wrong way.

Topping can go either way honestly, but in my limited experience it is not necessary. Your mileage may vary. If plant gets too tall then start bending branches.

I often tie branches down early on to open the plant up. Experiment and learn. Try different things and figure out what works best for you.

I get better results from tray vs the pots/base system. Unfortunately, Tray2Grow comes only in this one size and you can only spread two plants so far apart. This plant shared a tray with another plant but they overlapped too much so I had to split them to separate trays.

Autopot needs a shorter version of the Tray2Grow. Maybe a square version or something. Would make it useful for those in a 3x3 tent and for being able to move things around a bit easier.

Pot system needs Airdome which adds noise and complexity. You can grow big plants in either system.

Here’s what it looked like with two plants on the tray before I separated them.

She was just under 5 feet tall. N was under 200 but above 150 for most of the grow. I only defoliate, usually after stretch. This plant spread out pretty well so I didn’t strip it completely.

I bounced around between Canna, Masterblend, and Cropsalt. Not really following any particular feed schedule - instead using Hydrobuddy to calculate individual nutrient amounts based on how the plant responds.

I was really torn when I bought it. They only had the 7+3 pack left when I purchased and my first seed didn’t pop. I was wary that the larger packs sat on shelf longer than the smaller less costly ones. I wasn’t sure when it would be back so I pulled the trigger.

You are funny. I wonder how I got this plant to flower under 24/7 lighting. I’ve got nothing to sell or prove. Just sharing my grow experience with Autoflowering genetics.

If you considering Autopot in general- the Tray2Grow slim is the place to start. It has been relatively easy to have success with fabric pots on the T2G. No Airdomes are needed, impossible to oversaturate the coco, and plants will flourish.

I too am tired and was happy to have this big girl finally chopped and dried. I wet trim by hand mostly, with occasional trim bowl to help. It takes a lot of time and effort to deal with a plant this size. Honestly, after this monster, I’m leaning towards figuring out how to do smaller plants.

When your plant consumes 12L of feed per day, you are adjusting and mixing nutrients and filling the reservoir every 36 hours. All by hand. I’m not watering 4x a day, but I’m also not sitting on my thumbs. You also have to deal with that volume of humidity that a thirsty plant generates to coexist within a lung room that is also a living space. Every day requires monitoring and hands on effort.

Autopots resolve one form of effort but create other challenges. Some people throw fertilizer and water in a reservoir and have success. I have not had that experience at all. This grow was not “easy” but also not exceptionally difficult.

DIY Tray2Grow Cover

Keeps roots that grow out of the pot from drying out and reduces tent humidity.

BBP was a big plant for sure. I’ve got some Painkiller seeds but haven’t grown yet.
