Just got back from vacation, and I'm very pleased to see that the plants are doing well! Was gone Saturday to Thursday, and had a friend check on them once to adjust the pH but other than that they've been on autopilot. The Autopots are amazing for this - I got 2 kits with 2 pots each (instead of 1 kit with 4 pots) which gave me an extra reservoir in anticipation of this vacation. I connected the tubes from both of them with tees, and it worked exactly as I hoped. There's still a few days left of water in the reservoirs, so I think I could theoretically go a full week if needed (though the pH does drift a bit). Switched my feeding approach from guess-and-check EC measurements to doing mass/gallon which has made mixing nutrients a lot more consistent. The current feed contains 5.5g/gal of Megacrop, 1.5g/gal of calmag, and 1g/gal of bud explosion (PK). This works out to be an EC of ~3.1 including my tap water. They've been at this strength for a few weeks and are due for a little bit more, but I didn't want to mess with nutrients before leaving since I'll want to monitor them. The smell is getting pretty strong, with a very sweet scent (almost like berries) when I open the tent. The buds are starting to get some weight as well. Interestingly the two plants that veg'd a little bit slower seem to be budding the strongest. The plant that had explosive growth during veg has a ton of tops, but the buds are smaller. But overall they're all looking pretty good. No signs of issues as far as I can tell, tons of trichomes on the buds and sugar leaves. Expecting ~10 weeks of flower, so they're about half way done. Hopefully they'll keep packing on some weight!

That looks like nutrient burn in the last picture, right? Should I be doing anything other than dialing them back?

From what I have seen in other people's diaries and in my own as well, those tips are looking just normal. Don't be concerned, especially at this point of time in the cycle!

Fuzzy mold on surface is not bad it’s good!! Sign of healthy fungi I’ve used auto pots had some success but ended up water in the trays and not using system. Had some disgusting slime in the res. Any bad smell in the res you’re fucked for root rot. If you use air stone PH will rise with dissolved co2

@MagicBeanStalk, Yes the white fuzzy stuff is Mycelium, From Trichoderma The spores are found in most good coco and soil... Mycelium is a sign that it is healthy colony. Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus that helps to protect your plants against molds and bacteria. These tough little guys stand up against root rot and grey mold, protecting your plants from being destroyed. They create a barrier that make it impossible for harmful bacteria and pathogens to pass through. Link: http://waytogrow.net/trichoderma-biofungicide/

@PharmaZ, mind explaining about the fungus? I thought fungus was a bad thing. No issues with the res so far as I can tell. No air stone but I do have a water pump in the res to keep the water circulating.

@Mrs_Larimar, luckily he'll basically only need to make sure the pH is in range and nothing catastrophic has happened while I'm gone 6 days, since I have 25 gallons of reservoir hooked up to the autopots.
