Nutrients:
Heavy 16 Prime, Finish, Fire, Bud/Veg (base) (5/7)
Aptus: Fasilitor, Startboost, Bloomboost, Ecozen (4/7)
AN: Bud Blood, Big Bud, Overdrive, Bud Candy, bits of Calmag
- Because I wanted to
H&G: Roots Excelurator, Drip Clean
Grow space: 2x2.5x6'
Light: 250w LED, 90w from a P150, 160w from CXB 3590's and Vero 18's
Autopots: Google it, mimics a flood and drain. Biggest problem is the extremely small tubing and fickleness of the autopot valves.
Water: 4 parts zerowater to 1 part tap (EC = 600)
EC: 2-2.2; 2.5 and the plant starts fussing
pH: I pH to 5.5 and let it raise to 6.3 over the course of 5-8 days
Issues so far:
- I overfed, but have since gotten the EC under control.
- I think stretch is over at day 30, but the plants are at risk of having to be supercropped if they grow another 6".
- I contacted Heavy 16 about using their product with autopots and was given a personalized response (big thumbs up). One has to keep an eye on Fire & Prime because of their heavy organic components and use Roots or Drip Clean. I cut the recommended Fire & Prime by 50%... whereas I'm running the others at 70%, topping off the EC with the PK boosters. At about days 22-23, my plant dried out as the valve stopped working (my fault, overfed organics). I fixed it and it seemed to not even have been stressed.
Veg:
- I neglected the plant and let it dry out over the course of the first 10 days.
- Hand watered for first 3 weeks, then hooked up autopot.
- Lights were flipped 21-22 days after germination. Planted in their final pot.
I plan on bloom taking 9-10 weeks. The pictures are taken either with lights off or with a mix of 3000K & 5000K white light (hard to get the camera to focus without lights).

; had 9-10 ounces with my ruderalis "fast" crap in the past. It's entirely genetics, so no need to blame the autopots yet. The plant on the right would be a wonderful sog plant for short grow spaces. The following pictures are taken with lights on (left picture) and lights off (right picture).
