Looks good bro
Keep the clones worm and under a dome for some humidity theyā€™ll do just fine

@ifish they are really swelling upā€¦and trying hard to to give them a squeeze. I could switch too fall feed next floodā€¦but may give them 1 more flood.

Thanks @paps. I just did a trial run with coffee and had roots showing at day 7ish. Just potted them in promix and hoping for the best.

Tons of clone runs coming up till I get it spot on.

Well, I finally made it to your current thread. Worked through all of them :sweat_smile:. Got to say Iā€™m impressed by your journey, you really stuck to it and worked out all the issues. Your current system looks great, Iā€™d love more details about how it all works!

Itā€™s been one hell of a journey for sure! From giving my plants too much love to now letting them do all the work lol.

This weekend Iā€™ll add some notes on how Iā€™ve set up my tent etc. And also Iā€™ll take some snapshots of my crates and how to prep the mapito.

I still have issuesā€¦but way less now lol Tonightā€™s update will showcase my autopot issues lol.

Day 51

Decided to drain the res and move onto finishing these girls off. Iā€™m running extremely low on bud :slight_smile:

Ok so moved onto the following feed:

This is a modified version of my first run, this time dropping Ca completely. She should hold plenty enough in her leaves to finish off. Also dropped Nā€¦looking to see a nice fade.

Coffee Cake - Day 3

So having a Mg issue which Iā€™m currently addressing. I completely forgot to let the PH increase to 6-6.2 while I flowered her so Mg uptake was lacking.

Looking good bro
You can spray the plant with water and Epson salts and kelp if you have it the plants love it and would help to correct those mg issues

Looking forward to your write-up of the methodology. Iā€™ve read some journals with mapito, itā€™s mostly dutch guys that use it. Seems itā€™s spreading :slight_smile:. Also nice looking plants in autopots, guess thereā€™s still hope for that system :smiley:.

Mapito + Flood and Drain

So here are a few things that sold me on Mapito :

Pros
Explosive growth
Minimal effort - 30minutes every 3 days to feed them.
Ability to re-use the medium
Ability to harvest and have a new grow up and running the same day*

Cons
Prepping Mapito for first run - Stable 5.6ph on runoff is needed to start off with

The combination of Rockwool cubes + foam chunks makes for a very porous medium. Coming from coco this was something that I lovedā€¦without any worries about the medium holding onto Ca/Mg/K.

I use Canna Cannazym during the last 2 weeks of my grow and also at the start of the next run (after first use of Mapito) to help break down all the dead roots. After pulling the plant out itā€™s as easy as running .8ec/5.6ph through the medium until sheā€™s back to where you first started. Doesnā€™t take long to wash the salt line out.

I like the fact that it can be reused thatā€™s a big plus !

I may have to give this a try I wonder if itā€™s compatible to the Octopots ?

Veg tent is now running T5 lights for my moms. Iā€™ve got some LEDs at the bottom for my clones runs.

I just finished transplanting all my girls into Promixā€¦and now working on dialing in the feed. Reading my plants is on ongoing battle, but itā€™s coming along.

I think it would be worth a try, just another medium. Iā€™m waiting on a few clones to try and see how she works with Autopots, hoping to have that running in a 1/2 weeks.

Needs another Mg foliar spray tomorrow morning before lights out. Still needs to green up.
