Gone back to where i left of years ago,the trusty old auto pot system.I was useing a 100 ltr tub for 4 plants but have found this to be abit of a ball ache,far better with a 50 ltr tub then you can take it down and scrub the tub once a week has salts do tend to build up in them.The plants are in wk 3 of flowering and drinking 40 ltr ever 3/4 days,there now on 1.5 ec thats with canna coco a/b and big bud from advanced.I'm useing pre mix this is about a 60 /40 coco and clay pebbles.I also have added a new little touch that i have been shown in stead of adding a air stone to thetanks put ai rings in the bottom of the tubs these are on 24/7.I have 2 600 hps lights over 4 plants [jack herer],the only two strains that i bother with now are jack herer or blueberry.I hand watered the clones once they had got legs and was added to the trays just around the base of the plants till the roots reached the bottom of the tubs.I used coco/a/b and root stimm for the 1st 7 12 days then has soon has the roots hit the bottom of the pots the barral was filled.The 1st feed was set at 1.1 ec till the roots hit the bottom of the tub week two i up the ec to 1.2 week 3 1.3 ec and week 4 1.4 ec.The plants grow realy fast once the roots hit bottom of pot and was 2 ft tall within 4 week with nice tight nodes.flowering wk one nothing was added all though i have used bud blood from advanced before but left it out has i dont think much is gained of useing this stuff,but no dought others will disagree.I left them on 1.4 for the 1st week of flowering but up the ec to 1.5 i will maintain this all the way through till the very endof flowering.I add big bud from advanced at wk 2 of flowering all ways add your ud booster pk spike before adding your a/b canna coco,mix well and then add the a/b till it reaches 1.5.I flower for 9/10 wk so i use big bud till week 7 then flip to overdrive and flush at wk 10 still the same ec 1.5.The econd garden that i have running at a differant address has 10 plants in and will throw at least amin of 8 per plant but in all should get 90/100 oz of the 10.Because the second grow is 4 plants under 2 600 hps they will throw me at least 45/50.The garden with 10 in is at the start of week 6 and there is well over 50/60 dry if it was took down now.they are well over 4 /5 ft tall.pictures will follow soon so watch out for em....tyke
