4x4 autoflower grow speedrun genetics autopots 9 gallon xxl coco coir

Figured I’d do a grow diary , as I’ve never done one before , just some random pics .

Yesterday was day one for four speedrun seeds I germinated . I’m doing four different strains , acid snow , god particle , froot fuel bx , and a “mystery seed”

the setup is a xxl 4 pot autopot system . 9 gallon pots with a 50/50 mix of coco coir and perlite .

yesterday afternoon , started things off by mixing up a nute solution for my seedlings . I used roots exculerator and a small amount of fox farm tiger bloom “to stimulate root growth” the same formula I use for my clones in my ezclone 128 .

my well water here is a heavy 380ppm , so we dialed in to 600ppm and 6.0 ph , dropped the beans into root riot plug , I then drenched the plugs with 5ml of the solution .
I took the 3” grodan cubes , and soaked them in the solution , then dropped the plugs into them , put them in a tray with a humidity dome .

I put them in my 4x4 gorilla tent , with my fluence spydr 2i , set on 40%.

checked them this morning , and I gave the acid snow some Manual help to shed its shell .

by the end of day one my mystery seed , was standing at around 3/4” while the froot fuel bx and god particle have shot out of the gate to 1-1.5” and froot fuel bx around 2.5” .

tonight I dropped my light down closer so that I could prevent them from stretching heavily without having to crank the light , and produce mass heat .

now I’m going to assembly my autopot system , get it installed , as well as figure out where to put my humidifier “9 gallon fabric pots use a lot of space” and install a 8” exhaust fan . I’m growing these on my insulated front porch , so they’ll be seeing plenty of nice cool air as air conditioned and can stay anywhere from 62* and up .

bottom left is the mystery seed , bottom right is the god particle .

tomorrow I should have them in their final destination , and I’ll continue to top feed till the roots have hit substrate and can benefit from the wicking effect of the autopots and canna coco A and B
I’m gonna drop by to check comments daily. I doubt I’ll update every single day , as I work a farm and literally spend all day long 6/7 days a week , doing this . This grow should be fun , compared to commercial outdoor growing
Have a good night everyone

Looks like I was a little short on coco and perlite these 9 gallon fabric pots hold more substrate than my 10 gallon fabric pots outdoors !

I’ll head to my local supply store in the morning , grab a brick , and get it soaking so I can rinse it out and buffer it asap . I don’t suspect it’s gonna take these lovely ladies long , to grow roots through the grodan and into the substrate . I may throw some pictures of my other plants outdoors , just for substance , while detailing out this grow .

Anyways off to bed , got a lot of work to do tomorrow and I’m beat !

Day 2 , my substrate has been buffered too 5.6 ph , as well as drenched in a nutrient solution consisting of 20 ml of canna A , 20ml of canna B , 6ml of roots exculerator , and 3ml of orca myco - 5 gallons spread amongst the 4 sites , and my little ones are now in the substrate . I’m running my light at 30% , and will be dropping it down to 24 inches above the pots , keeping humidity high with a cool mist humidifier in the center of the tent , a small active air
Fan to move air around , and the lung room staying at 62 degrees , which seems to keep the tent hovering around 75 degrees now . I’ll be installing my 8 inch exhaust fan soon as well , and throwing everything on a controller by the end of the week .

I really was sold on trying this Dwc/aero combo, and still will - but I saw the results autopotamus was getting on instagram , and had to jump on the band wagon immediately . We will see what the results are when finished

Seedlings are starting their second set of leaves . The acid snow is behind but catching up . The buffered coco , seemed to have cooked the god particle seedling. I’m hoping it bounces back strong. If not I have two fast buds banana purple punch I will replace with . Hopefully 10 more days and we will have roots down into the coco and ready to kick on the system . I got a small 4 inch intake fan drawing cool air from the insulated porch at 65* , and a 4 inch exhaust witj A carbon filter to vent out moisture and kill odor.
I’m really excited to see what happens with these autopots . I also picked up the rest of the canna coco line of nutrients cannazyme, boost , rhitozone and pk.

the only other thing I will add is probably rock resonator when I start flowering as my results have been phenomenal with it so far .

Doing alright , the god particle definitely does not like the buffered coco . The top feed I’ve been giving is next to nothing tbh , and 11 other autos are loving it .

I may have to swap it out for one of the fastbuds banana purple punch as they’re growing faster than anything in here and have been in here for half the time , thats what’s in the grodan tray in the center of the tent .
Overall happy with the first week . I have a feeling they’re gonna blow up this next week , and hopefully within 14 days, I can kick this bad boy on and be lazy lol.
