New Grower First time grower. 8 Pot Autopot System. Demon Auto Tao & BCN Critical

[Big Sul]

Great read! I will be incorporating autopots in next Grow. Can you tell me what air pump you use? I'm thinking I need a pump with at least 6 ports(4-pots, res, & one to make teas), does that sound right?

I finally had a chance to sample some bcn critical today.

It was part of a cola pulled early that had some bud rot infection present. All infected bud thrown out of course. It was dried in paper bags inside tent for a while, hang dried a while, in fridge for a while, then removed from fridge In jar / burped for a couple days.

It looks great, smells great, it's sticky dense bud. Its a smooth smoke and has hint of lemon / fruity taste. I believe it supposed to be a sedating high but being that this was pulled early there was not really much sedation. Its not like anything I have tried for many years. Very celeberal, euphoric, giggly high. I love it.

sounds great my LSD is the same sort of high untill you smoke a few joints great all day smoke i reckon i harvested a week or two early than i should have

Day 87. I completed the final chop on 7 plants today. It has been trimmed and is currently drying. I mentioned at the beginning one of the autopot ladies had twins sprout. Well turns out they both survived - one of them turned out pretty tiny(as seen in pic) and I just chopped it today. The other is quite large but is only just now starting to produce bud as of day 87. It's got quite a way to go. It's a demon Auto tao. Attached a few pics. Also there is still a photoperiod gorilla glue there. I switched the lights just today to try trigger it into flower.

Hopefully I will have the final yeild of the 7 plants harvested in 1 week or so.

I have an aqua one pump that has 2 pump outputs. I just have those two going to the reservior with air stones connected. It turns on at 4 intervals during the day for 15 mins each time. I heard it's not good to have on all the time as it can raise the ph. I don't use air pump for the autopots.

Day 93
Final results are in. Total. 745grams from 7 plants. That’s 1.64 pounds - 26 ounces. That’s an average of 4 ounces per plant

615grams sitting on my bench right now
unfortunately around 150g of that was poorly looked after during curing/drying and is over dry. I may make hash from it or something. Happy with around 500g of it though. Fresh, sticky, sweet stuff. Big learning curve with the drying and curing and was pretty sad to have mold hit 4-5 ounces worth.


130grams that had some minor mold infection has already been made into trichome budder after following recipe instructions to remove mold spores

Attached pic that is budder before draining the water.

I have 2 plants left from this grow. They are still going well. Both in flower.

I just started germinating some seeds. Blueberry cookies this time.

Day 97
There is still 2 ladies left.
1x demon tao (right)
1x gorilla glue

As you can see in picture. The gorilla glue has now hit the light.

I was wondering what would you guys do with it? It’s just starting to go into flower.
Maybe I could add a net and try stretch it out over a bigger area?

Also I have had 5 seeds pop so far. Just need 1 more. They are garden of green Blueberry cookies. I am Planning to plant in final medium on the weekend.

I also ordered the aqua valve 5 upgrade which should arrive shortly. Hoping that will help prevent any future spills. I Do not like the small tubes to each pot currently, they are too flimsy.
