Kuwl's Krazy 8's - Auto Pot Grow

[steamroller]

From a guy who does not really measure and has some problems I will say your ppm is screaming high compared to the hydro guys that grow trees.
They never go much over 800 and taper back to 250 before finish.
Maybe @smoke or @SweetLeafGrow could chime in.

I've seen some with ppm this high, I think PipeCarver's grow runs this high also.
The thing is that lsd and gs seem to thrive on it but the others not so much.
I guess it's a strain issue but I hate to cut back when those two are doing so well.
Time to throw in a bucket of plain water and start to cut back.

I think my ppm was high because of the amount or variety of nutes. with Cal/mag/micro/Grow/Bloom/Diamond Nectar/ Kool Bloom/peroxide/hyclean after 3rd week in flower, each one bumps the ppm up. I don't think I got over 1200 though, I don't really bother with it, I follow the directions on the bottles for the most part and what is is it is. I watch my leaves for any signs they're not liking what I've fed them but I'm not having many problems feeding by whats on the labels

I'm done now and using FloraKleen .....because I have it...lol....6 days today they've been getting 10 ml Florakleen/ gal and that's it. I pulled both Frozen Custard 3 days ago then I got sick so I couldn't do any more but today I'm better and will pull the 2 Greesy today

I believe my ppm was so high because of the epson salts I added it really kicks it up.
Around 800 now, some plants love the high nute lvl, some don’t.
The C99 looks almost done dam I took some pics of it just now.

Auto Froot by the foot coming down next weekend.

1200ish is where the 3.9's are at now. 2.2's are in the 800 range not so over the top for Auto Pots I think.
Ya that "KoolBloom' is powerfull stuff and raises the ppm alot so does ep.
I follow my chart and so far Dyna Gro/Super Thrive flows with the chart you gave me.
I started the KB a week ago but the problems were with me from the start so didn't figure KB had nothing to do with it.
K is what the chart calls for and KB has a ton of it lol.
But ya, I think the ppm is way too high for week 5.5, so bucket of water got it down to 800ish and unless I clean out the tank
that's what I'll do when the lvl drops enough to put another bucket of water in there and reduce it to 600ish in a few days.
They are still drinking good tho, so there's that.

Now that's what my Cinderella 99 looks like in size and buds.
I'm thinking that I got some Auto's by mistake but won't know till the next time I grow em.
Maybe I'll try one outside, see what pops up.

 

[Kuwl]

Must be oldness haha
I found this pic of Blue Dream I was growing march 2022 only 2 years ago!
As far as I can figure the plants are 5 wks in flower.
I think it was my first venture into auto pots and had a BD and GL in them on the
left side of the tent GL is left side center and BD you can barely see in left corner.
But the health of the plants leaves is what I'm looking at plus the bud amt.
They are at 750-800 ppm using the same nutes as I am now.
So wowy idk what I was thinking!!! Almost double the nute strenght using the same chart.
The only dif I used Epsom Salts this time which kicks it up some.
Well I need a new feed chart haha
I wanted to look that up for a long time but now that I have it's an eye opener.

March 2022 @ 2 weeks after the strip.
I stripped at day 21 Three weeks in veg at the time back then.
Should be week 5

This cat with one ear is getting to me.
Rango, my daughter calls her, at least I think its a female but not sure.
She lets me pet but not too much and can't pick her up, no way.
I feed her daily and made a nest of hay for her to lay on. She liked that!
I also made a crate/shelter with 2 exits and hay inside.

I also have another visitor but not sure what it is.
Might be a woodchuck/ground hog as I've seen one last year in the lot next door.
Dug a hole/entrance under my porch. So I guess it's gonna live there for the summer.


Oh ya, the grow progress haha I'm in limbo.
Week 7 (officially Monday)
Half my grow going ok with one plant doing exceptional.
One plant (GTH) got uprooted and replanted in a cloth pot to be put outside to live/die idk.
One plant (Fruity Pebbles 2.0) got transfered from cloth pot to a 2.2g AP pot and is doing well.
One plant (BD) is pretty much dead in the pot, not sure why? Lights, feed or the special UV and RED lights I turned on.
After the burn on that plant and leaves looking stressed and changing color
I turned off UV and Red lights, done with them this grow.
The other BD is hanging on for life but I don't expect much from her if she survives.

So half my plants, no matter what pots they are in, with same feed, same soil. same set up failed.
Well at least I got some good ones. haha.
LSD, the champ, is doing so well I wish I only planted that strain and no other.
It was a good grow last time and the smoke was better than any of the others.
I gave my grandson a sample of the 3 I grew last time (OC Blue, OC White and LSD)
He said LSD rock'd, so do I.
Sativa Gold is doing well with some burnt leaves, from high feed, I think.
Cinderella 99 is another champ also with buds filling this plant up.
Funny tho, there is not a strong smell coming from her and should have more tri's also.
Pretty plant and would grow again if the smoke is good.
Fat Bastard is ok but not filling out as much, so not sure how it will turn out.
OC Black same, ok but not filling out well.
The other BD is alive but sparse, it might survive.
PPM is around 600 at this time.

I seen some particles in one tank so changed the water and washed out the tank with dawn.
Also sucked out all the old res from the trays and feed tubes to let in the fresh nutes.
Filled it with 5 gal of light nute mix at 600 PPM and a few days later got particles again!
I think one or more of the nute bottles are contaminated.
I don't think it's a big deal so will let it ride.
Both Rez Tanks use the same nutes and are fed the same, only one has particles, so idk wtf is going on with that.
I'm going to ditch the Dyna Gro/Super Thrive feed and start using "Athena" nutes for the next round.
For some reason since ST took over Dyna Gro I've been having major problems with my grows.
Time for a change.

Week 7 (Mon)
Getting hot and humid here so cut out the oil heater and installed
the humidifier set at 50%.
I was battling it for a day or two and along with the rez tank clean-out
and re-fill I figured it's time to do it.

Emptied, washed out and re-filled the tank with only KoolBloom nute.

The particles that were in the tank were settled at the bottom and not noticable
until I stirred it, then they showed up, so left it alone till it was time to change it.

I stoped using the Protekt and Zyme, I don't think they need that anymore @ 7 wks.

Defoliated some since the humi in there was jumping to 61 even tho I got 5 fans running.
3 small ones and 2 larger ones. Not including the Exhaust fan.

Added 3 yoyo's and 3 stakes to the LSD pot, it's getting heavy.
Hung the yoyo's from the celling joist.

I think it's pretty much in control now.
Looking like LSD will finish 1st, then C99 and GS.
Some plants are a week to 2 weeks behind.
Might do the other 2.2g tank in a couple more days.
Not too much else to do but watch and wait and hope those buds get big.

Ya I'm thinking of making an enclosure or something after this land purchase on the 5th.
Trying to figure out how to let him in and away from Sky and any other critters or dogs so maybe a double fence in that area.
Back by the alley. I already have a shelter from a bin with straw and 2 exits.
But when the lot is fenced he will be fenced out unless I figure out something.

Really good smoke too!
I was looking around my stash and found some weed I forgot about lmao
An ounce of Sour Diesel and 1/4 oz of Wedding Cake, I cleaned up and smoked the WC
and was a nice surprize how good it was.

Not sure how you could rig it but a cat door keeps larger animals out. I have one I attached to a piece of plywood and put it in a window I can open so the whole window isn't wide open 24/7 just their door that they push open and fly through. It has a magnetic centering clip that drops the door back in place and keeps the wind out

I knew it was coming being I had a late start and knew this grow
would get close to June before harvest.
I got this idea to vent the hot air exhaust from the humidifier running
into the exhaust duct turning it up to 8-10 and using a helper duct fan
to get more outside air into the room. Well............it's a work in progress.

Maybe pic's will explain it better

You're lucky to have heat so early in the year....ha ha.....its still cool here. I used cardboard and built a duct taped vent through black out curtains one year, it helped somewhat but it was a bit hokey, hot air was still leaking into my grow space. I bought a tarp to divide my space off in my basement so I can keep the tents separate from my grow tents I'll still have to vent through some how. Always something to do.

I got my water lines & air lines hooked up last night after cleaning everything but ran out of time to load my res up with nutes. I'll load it up and turn on the pots today. its taken me a week to clean everything and get it all back together again. I lost 2 blue silicon pads cleaning the valves. Its a good thing I have extra's. When this happened last year OLDCRO sent me some instead of having to order and pay shipping so I had a couple to replace them.
I also ordered a few on my last order. fkin things disappear once they pop out of their spot and hit the floor. I was cleaning one with a small brush and it popped out, I saw it pop out but do you think I could find it...nope..its gone forever I guess. I had just swept the floor so it should have been easy to find, hands and knees crawling around on the floor sweeping with my desk brush but its gone.

I think the little silicon pads are the cheapest part of these pots, fkin little things are crucial and without them the pots don't work. I think they should send a dozen of each with purchase of the pots in the first place. I'm good now but I'll have to order more red pads next order I only have 2 left and for 50 cents each I should have more spares. Speaking of spares I broke another X connector on my water lines but I ordered 4 my last order so I have spares. I've broke one each time I've messed with the lines. I now have spare X's,Y's straights & L's in stock so it was no big deal I just replaced parts.......Without spare parts order's have a $25 shipping charge and a week or 2 delay in getting them......I love the pots but they do have some issues with small parts breaking or disappearing.

I lost one of those blue pads once, never found it, had to oder some and ordered the wrong one.
Everything goes in a bucket when I clean em now.
Happens all the time to me, I drop something, watch it fall and hit the floor then ....poof, it's gone!
Never to be found again. Either it's a worm hole or poltergiest, not sure.

Got the humi/heat under control using frozen gal juice bottles and small water bottles put in front of fans.
When I get 2 more frozen, they will go into the tanks.
Although the rez tank water is about 68, the tray water is 71-74 and would be higher if I didn't cool the room down.
Thanks for that tip PC it came in handy but it's a miricle that I remembered it lol.

Cinderella 99 is getting close and I think it might be done at 8 wks.

The others will take a lot longer, maybe 9-10 or even 11 weeks.
LSD not even close to done, too many white pistils showing.
Same with Gold Sativa.

Heat/hummi under control now.
Not Cellar Temp but upstairs spare room temp in the drying tent, which I still have to adjust.

I got a bunch of gal bottles in the freezer to help with that.
The only plant that has big azz buds is Cinderella 99, none of the others compare.
But it's a shorty, darn, if it was normal size it would be a monster.

Got a long way to go and it's getting warmer here with lots of humidity.

Do you have any behind these to run through summer? I love your lighting that should help bump lower buds a bunch. Are you using your reds ? what's your timing for them?

I started mine a few nights ago for just 15 min at lights out. Next week I'll adjust my 12/12 to 12.5/11.5 then 1 week later 13/11 and run with that trough flower until the last week I'll go 14/10...so is my plan again this run. I just need to make sure I'm adding lights on time not taking it away this time

I'm not going to start any until August now, I have to fly out to Vancouver early August and I can't leave any in flower unattended back home here while I'm gone. If I can time it right I may start some seeds late July and if I can get them into 1 gal pots I could I could get my wife to water them once while I'm away but she's not big on tending plants.

She's already pissed I'm going alone, having her tend my plants just adds salt to the wound. We have no one to watch our cats, Dusk need a puffer twice a day and they'd bolt or Qnight would, as soon as a stranger opened the door he'd be gone past them and they'd never be able to catch him. I looked into a 5 day stay at a cat hotel but fk that get expensive for 3 cats with extra fee's for giving cat meds twice a day

Not sure yet on a summer run.
Was thinking of planting one outside in the ground just to see if it will grow proper with all the city lights.
If I did one inside it would be a limited run of 1-2 plants with 1-2 of the small TS1000 lights.
I still have time to pop a seed or two, there's still time for that.

No other lights are running now.
I did have the Reds running (15 mins after lights out) and the Blue UV's (2hrs @ noon to 2pm) also but
I noticed something happening to the leaves. They got pale/light in color.
The Blue Dream burnt up and it didn't look good for the other plants, so I turned them all off.
Maybe I had them too close, not sure, but it is the end of this run so I got scared and thought it's gonna give me seeds if I don't turn em off.
After they were turned off for a few days, the plants looked better, so left them off.
Next time they go up in the ceiling.

I wanted to do some traveling at one point, I checked the prices to board our dogs (we had 2 small dogs)
That thought ended fast!!! Wow are they crazy? lol I think it was $800 for 5 days, that was 5 years ago.
Prob a grand or more now.

Yes, I made an adjustment to the side lights for better saturation.
I like the way they are now and wish I did that from the start.
The last grow benifited from those side lights and I got bigger staulk buds and bigger buds in general.
But it was the lower "popcorn" buds or "larf" that impressed me the most with their large size.

My downfall, this time, was the soil mix, as I mixed it way too hot, with too many additives.
Then skipped the step where you top water for 2 wks before starting the AP's.
Which, if I tested the run off, would have seen the ppm was too high and could have fixed it.
It went down hill from there.
The only thing I learned is that LSD is a beast and can survive anything I can throw at it and the smoke is Ooo la la.
And I will have to grow anothr C99 to find out why so short and no smell and how it will smoke.

Safe travels PC

Well, after I thought about it and decided to turn my red's and blue's on again.
The leaf problem was more likely too high intensity of the lights rather than any fault or the red/blue uv lights.
They are feeding well as I put in another 2 gal's of nutes each.
I did raise the Red R80w lights a bit but left the uv's the same height.
Also changed the UV's duration from 3 to 2 hrs @ mid-day.
The Red's are on only for 15 mins after lights out.
Nothing in the SF-Glow R80 manual for how high, how long on and when they should be on, either.

Hey, I don't think the reds will cause any burning, I've mine about even with my other lights. They are a lot brighter than the small far red pucks I've been using. I have to check my calendar but I think today is the day I extend my lights on to 12.5 hrs. 1 week from flip.

I get the same thing with my plants when I have too many on the go, some just don't do well. I find I'm better with just 5-6 flowering at once with the same in veg, any more than that plants get crispy for some reason. I had to kill a plant mid flower 2 runs ago because it didn't like what the rest of my plants were getting. I keep hoping my next run will be perfect...lol.....I've been hoping that for years now.....but the next run for sure will be perfect...lol

My next one will be, hahha Darn it tho, I thought this one would be the "One"
I'm getting old and my mind and memory just don't wanna work how I want them too.
I cut too many coners this time.

Killed the one Blue Dream, it was getting crispy ugly and I could not look at it no more, so took her out of her misery.

I am bamboosled how one plant can grow perfectly with absolutely no problems, not even burnt tips, nothing!!
And all the others suffer with major problems.
I think I could have raised PPM to 2000 and still LSD would thrive!
Nothing affected it in a bad way, that I can see!

Same with Cinderella 99 but not sure what it is? CBD? Auto? Runt? idk
It grew at a phenomenal pace but short, like way short, blossomed fast and furious.
Not many tri's but big buds and lots of them. I don't know what this freak is!
Pic's of C99 look nothing like what I grew.

Well, no harm in turning on the Red's and Blue's and hoping I can get some smoke from what's left of this grow.
But Next Grow Look Out!! lol
I'm thinking of one or maybe two plants, whatever one TS1000 will support.
I am changing nutrients to Athena which has good reviews from alot of AP users.

Good thing I have plenty of old smoke left from previous grows.

I'm going to go all one strain on my next batch of seeds. I have some Hoele Moonshine regs from DFG I'm going to run, 10 seeds I'll germinate and use the splitters I just bought to separate into half cells in 5 leaving me 1 extra pot I can grow 1 or 2 plants in

I really stunted my plants this time, from 1 week into flower last run compared to this I've got bonsai plants growing. I had to bend them over and lay them down they were so big......not these...I should get a nice canopy but much smaller plants

I re-arranged my grow pots oh my what a pain in the back that was.
Got rid of some of the dead/burnt leaves, impossible to get them all.
Thankfully I have enough shut off valves but after this I'll order more.
Have to order from the AP site as everytime I order from any where else I get the wrong size.
I have pkgs of em hidden around that I was too lazy to return and don't want
wifey askin' "How much did these cost" as she holds them up for display.

Latest pic's 8 wks into Flower and looks like a week or two to go maybe 3 for some.

C99

LSD, my only worry with this one is "SEEDS" so far none, whew!

C-99 looks fire.
I could not wait weeks for that one.

It don't pay to hurry,, as I found out. I did the same thing and hurried for the, "summer heat n hummi", I knew was coming in June, so I skipped a step
or two and boom shit started to happen that I have no control to prevent or change.

I think C99 is coming down sometime this week, it's cloudy but no amber yet so I'll give it a few more days.
