First I wanted to thank everyone for their previous feedback. I had an auto that wasn’t making much headway early on. I was advised to be patient and now that sucker has pretty much filled a 3x3 tent. I feel way less whiny about that now.
Anyway this is an ebb and flow setup with the plant in a 3.5 gallon bucket. The roots have been growing down both the intake and drain tubing. I have been pulling those out as I don’t want them submersed in water, and don’t want them clogging the pump. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so how did you solve it? Wondering if I can maybe cover the valves with mesh or something in the future to allow water through, but prevent the roots from growing into the tubing? Any ideas?
The question is just about time to harvest. I am in the third week of flower. Just starting to see some trichomes showing up, most prominently on the main cola. Is there a rule of thumb on the time between the appearance of the first trichomes and harvest?
This is a sweet auto gelato.
Thanks for any thoughts.
