Phat Gary, Yaaas Betch, Sherb N Sour and Sherbadelic

iggy097 · Aug 25, 2022

I think the issue was that I fucked up the seeds at first. Seems like I am going to end up with for this run - 2 Sherbadelic, 3 Sherb N Sour, 1 Yaaas Betch (wish I hadn't fucked that one up), 2 Phat Gary.
Also I have decided to only run 8 in the 4x8 - in auto pots, with SF SE5000 lights. The two older 4x4 tents will be delegated to clone & mother tent.

I’ve been busy. First off - fuck putting a 4x8 tent up. What a pain! A had a mini meltdown when I couldn’t figure out where the bottom was to even start. Then I still had the other two tents in the room to make it even more difficult.
Anyhow, seedling - clone tent is done - have that connected to the now empty mother tent. 4x8 is almost done, I’m running autopots this time so I still have to set all that up.
My 6” ac infinity carbon filters are about a year old - they’re spent so I’m grabbing an 8” vortex filter.
The plants are coming along - I have two extra so I’ll have to decide which 8 to run. There is one random seedling that came out of nowhere - it was a leftover from either a watermelon zkittlez or skywalker seeds that didn’t sprout and I mixed the soil back in. Either way - her name is “scully”

Starting to finally take off. In hind sight I should not plant my seedlings into a 2 quart container if I’m going to transplant into an autopot

Everything is potted up into the autopot system. Now to hand water for a couple weeks.

Turned on the autopot system today - everything has been topped once (well not the sherbadelic it’s a week behind)
Added the megacrop and sweet candy to the res - I’ll have to monitor the EC better - bit high at 1.7 with the sweet candy

Growing quick now!

Looking real good! I was thinking of switching to AutoPots for my next grow. What's your feedback? How often do you change the water in th tank?

I've only had the system on for one week so far - it's gone through 10+ gallons. I will fill it back up once it gets down to 5g or so. Seems very simple, I actually just ordered a 2nd system (4 pot) for my mother tent. I like the Flexi Tank Pro reservoir that I got with the 8 pot - HOWEVER it is very expensive for what it is and for my 2nd system I'm going to make my own reservoir out of a 20g Brute garbage can.

Added bamboo stakes for LST - hate the way that it looks, like I have a bamboo forest! But it will serve - I follow someone on IG who grows in autopots with the stakes like this and it works out very well.

LST today - minus the Sherbadelic as she’s 2 weeks behind.

Going into week 5 of veg. The one Phat Gary in the back right corner has a little yellowing starting in some leaves. Might mean nothing - but worth noting. PH in the res creeping up to 6.1 so I lowered it some. EC is 1.3

iggy097 · Oct 3, 2022

Some yellowing on the leaves. Bumped up the megacrop dosage to 1.7EC in the reservoir. Getting ready to flip to flower soon.

iggy097 · Oct 4, 2022

Took cuttings of all the plants in the tent - 3 Phat Gary’s, 1 Yaaas Betch, 3 Sherb N Sour and one Sherbadelic. Pheno hunting for a few good mothers. First day of flower tomorrow. Whose the bald guy checking for light leaks?

Coming along nicely

iggy097 · Oct 8, 2022

Still waiting for the increased EC from 1.3 to 1.7 (megacrop) to kick in and help the yellowing. Been only 5 days. Patience is a virtue they say.

iggy097 · Oct 13, 2022

Day 9 of flower.
Just a quick update - EC is set to 1.8 now in the reservoir. I think I'm going to swap to Blue Planet nutes next grow, the MegaCrop seems a pain to dial in for me and it is drifting in the reservoir (PH up) a bit too much.
The 2 taller Phat Garys seem to be wanting much more Nitrogen than the rest of the tents - those leaves are the palest. Smaller Phat Gary is nice and healthy looking. Yaaas Betch seems to be a nice thick healthy plant, and the 3 Sherb and Sours look good, as does the Sherbadelic.
I bought a Phantom PAR meter - Amazon.com : PHOTOBIO LGBQM2 Advanced Quantum Sensor PAR Meter (Micromoles), Measure Light Intensity : Patio, Lawn & Garden to test out against my Phototone app on my Iphone Pro 14 - the app was much higher readings! Now - I don't know which was more accurate so I ordered an Apogee unit to test them against (500 bucks - I'll be returning via Amazon, thanks Bezos!)
I added in Bud Explosion Bud Explosion PK Booster – Greenleaf Nutrients - in my reservoir today with the water change.

This was my first run NOT positioning the LED's above the canopy closer like the Spider Farmer directions say - going by the advice of Mike from Exotic Genetix and using his Grow Guide. I seem to have more stretch this way, but I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing as long as the buds fill out nice and thick. Time will tell!

Not loving Phat Gary #1 here. Herm? If so - debating on pulling the balls or scrapping the plant all together. This plant was the first to germinate, but was always the slowest grower out of all of them.
*edit* I'm going to pull Phat Gary #1 and scrap it.

iggy097 · Oct 17, 2022

Well - I scrapped Phat Gary 1. Did my lollipop and defoliation on the rest while I was at it. No sign of herm on any other plant.

Installed a Bluelab PH controller
