Okay... I have 3 x Nirvana Bubbleicious flowering in a one pot Autopot system that I vegged for far too long (I was intending to keep her as a mother) but I got impatient & threw caution to the wind a started flowering her after about 3 months from seed.. I took two cuttings just before I started flowering & they have been vegged for 3 weeks & now are in the grow tent flowering..

The Autopot is rigged up to a 40 Litre reservoir & through the wonders of gravity & the plants needs ...waters itself. There is also a big Airstone in there airating the water.

The two 10L pots & the Autopot are made up with a mix of 70% Canna Coco, 20% Perlite & 10% clay pebbles - I am hand watering them every 1-2 days.

Pics to follow...

Nutes used:
Canna A+B
Ferro Enzyme Plus
Ferro PK Bloombooster

    Yeah thanks..took me a few attempts top get the hang of cloning.. now I have a fool-proof method:

    Coco Jiffy Pellets for rooting medium (soaked in Formulex & Water - 5ml per litre)
    Clonex Gel
    Scalpel
    Alcohol wipes
    Spray Bottle (daily or until condensation has gone from inside - str8 tap water)
    Propergator (lid on vents shut for entire process until roots show - 7/10 days later)
    18/6 light schedule

    Other people will have other methods but this one works very well for me. Previoulsy I tried using Rockwool but just had no luck also tried hormone rooting powders which didn't work for me so I tried some different techniques/methods/products & the one above is the one that works best for me.

    Okay here are some updated pics 8 days on:

    Here's the Blue Mystic I repotted 8 days ago (roots alreday showing through bottom of pot)
    She (I'm 90% certain it's a she)was also topped 8 days ago too...

    Two Blue Mystic Clones I took 2 days ago (11th May)



    And this is my Bubblicious which sadly is either bad genetics or I vegged for too long?
    Kinda hard to work out but she is now 8 weeks flowering & still has popcorn buds..

    Well I am chopping the beast down tonight so I can free up the tent for my Blue Mystic.. not hoping for much she is about 85% leaf.. been 9 weeks flowering now wasting leccy, nutes, time & effort so I'm cutting my loses now.. will post up the pathetic yieldage when done...

    So the mutant got chopped on Friday evening (21st May) it took two of us 4 hours solid to chop it as expected most of the 'bud' is about 85% leaf - Iv never seen so many fan leaves on a plant it was ridiculous.. For every bud head there were about 12 fan leaves where on a 'normal' MJ plant you would get say 4 or 5.. crazy..anyway I'm glad I pulled her out (9 weeks flowering) as she was just going nowhere & I'd rather have my grow tent free for a plant with better genes.. The bud we trimmed is drying elsewhere so I don't have pics I'll post some up when it's all dry..it won't be quality bud I'm afraid tho.. In the mean time here are some pics:

    Haha cheers Don.. yeah what a monster she was.. shame she was all about leaf production than bud.. oh well you get some good genes you gets ome bad.. Yeah I moved from DWC to Autopots & have been totally blown away by them they work bloody well! also all that crap with water pumps & changing the nutes every day or so with DWC was getting to be a right royal pain in the ass.. Let me know how your Autopot grows go..

    any update on this one? did she end up male or herm? no way this size girl would only produce popcorn after 9 weeks flowering.
