AREA 51 IS FINALLY COMPLETELY BUILT!!!

There were three new 20A circuits installed with new outlets for each circuit. This gives me four total 20A circuits in the room, plus the A/C. I am not using nearly this many watts but it sure is nice to be operating with safe electrical work!

Seriously though, don't grow if your electrical isn't up to code. It's not worth it. Take that from me if nothing else.

I think the only thing I could have done to make Area 51 more proper than it is now is if I would've finished the floor. It took forever, but I really think I nailed it! Everything is done right and with good equipment and the right knowledge. I'm so excited to share this grow with you.

I transplanted my plants into their 2.2 gallon veg containers yesterday afternoon. It was relatively simple to transplant out of the dividers that the plants were previously in.

There were .55 gallons of coco/perlite for each plant in the divider. I subtracted this from 2.2 gallons and that left 1.65 gallons of coco/perlite that would require V-Basis, the beanstalk veg nutrient. At a rate of 25 grams per gallon, that would mean I would need to add 41.25 grams of V-basis to each pot when I transplanted.

It was too easy to add these nutrients to the coco/perlite and now all I will need to do is add water to the reservoir and pH the water. I had turned the reservoir off after transplanting, leaving the water that was in the bases already to see if the plants were able to bottom feed. To my surprise, 24 hours later and the bases were dry. This allowed me to open the system back up for self watering.

It really is amazing how the plants don't seem to be stressed out from transplanting when using the autopots. This is something I realized last time I transplanted and again this time. The plants almost seem to just keep growing. Even the runty blueberry bang bang seems to have grown bigger immediately following the transplant.

It is important to note that I poured 2 solo cups worth of pHed tap water on top of the coco/perlite after transplant. I think that may be all I need to do in terms of top watering.



I'm hoping that the runt in the bottom right will recover and I will have 6 healthy plants for flower. I'm not sure exactly on how to shut off water to just one of the autopot xxl bases. I supposed I could plug the line.
