Nice setup man!! I’d love to have that space haha
Noticed your in an automated watering system?
You tried airpots before? The proper brand not the knock-offs

No irrigation here man sorry. And yes I’ve tried airpots, awful things imo.

I found the airpots ok for seedlings and clones. Once you get into flower with them they like to piss the feed right out of the holes.

The way it’s coming along it’s going to be a fast finisher by the looks of her, which is exactly what I was hoping to find. Fuck these 11 week strains, I have one already (frosted fruit cake) I don’t need more.

Longest I’ve went was 12 weeks. I hated it. But thank god it was a mono crop so everything came down at the same time.

Ah fair play thought it was automated.
They do if it gets too dry or when the rootball hasn’t filled the pot entirely or it’s improperly potted up to being with. A good stab with BBQ skewers help if too dry combined with watering in 3-4 stages. Water one then the others and by the time you get back to the first it’s soaked in.
Also when potting up it’s critical to tap the shit outta it so it settles into the holes. I find doing it in layers with pushing my finger tips an inch round the side forms a better barrier, because if it’s lose it fires out the sides big time which is what puts people off.
Its the simplest way to get bigger buds/plants in the same timeframe if everything else is dialled in.

What’s funny about that? Do a side by side for yourself to see and no doubt the airpot will yield more.

since you've done a side by side let's see some pics my man.

Ive not done an exact side by side but from experience the growth rate of airpots and yields have been consistently more. I’m sure there’s side by sides if you look on google.
Theres a reason the most advanced horticulture organisation (Gardens of Kew London) use them for over 3000 species of plants...
I’ve got one I can show just now - it’s only an auto as I done an auto run this winter for various lazy reasons. Tent is a 5x5 for scale.
it’s in a 9l pot so that’s 2 1/3 us gallons and looks to yield 5-6ozs. Not bad for 65 days since planting.
Reason she doesn’t fill the tent is that she’s the part of the remaining few from the winter cycle. Vegging and flowering in one tent is the most attractive quality of autos.

Cute plants. Kinda small for my liking.
I think I’ll stick to not using airpots thanks.

Only front one is an airpot which ended up being the solo pictured plant. They‘re Small due to being autos/pot size. Most are in less than a gal. I wanted variety rather than weight.
Honestly man just giving u a tip as you’ve got everything else dialled in and if you got 20% more yield for simply changing your pot ain’t that a good thing?
