Moby Dick & Critical Jack (Autopot)

WEEK 6 - 13/3/2021 - 19/3/2021 13/3/2021 - 2ml/L of chitosan foliar spray done just before lights off.  14/3/2021 - The tank is finishing fast since its connected to 8 plants now. I'll continue replacing with new batch of nutes. Once I have my peroxide order I'll clean the other res and go back to 2 res for 8 plants. 10 gallons of water mixed with the usual minus Liquid silicon. Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 50ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 10ml Aquaburst - 1ml/L (3.8ml/gal) - 38ml pH - 5.98 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 26 Plant 1 Critical Jack lower nodes removed as they have started dominating the grow instead of allowing the main branch to grow. I should do the same for others in a few days. 15/3/2021 - 4g/10L of silicate foliar spray done for all plants. I've decided to do foliar application instead of mixing with the main res to avoid another incident of sludge obstructing the tubing. 16/3/2021 - minor defoliation done for critical Jack plant 1 and 4. Again noted presence of sludge causing obstruction to one of the autopot. This is becoming a nuisance. I think I'll change the whole tubing system with new ones once my peroxide order has reached. 17/3/2021 - silicate foliar spray done for all plants just before lights off. 18/3/2021 - silicate foliar spray done for all plants just before lights off. 19/3/2021 - complete overhaul done again. All pots removed from system. Including valves. Soaked in peroxide solution for an hour. Old tubing discarded and new tubing used. Man I really hope the res won't get sludgy again. I've omitted silicon and wetting agent from the res mix. Also I'm using water pump for both res turned on 24/7. If it does get sludgy again, I think this will be my last grow in autopot. 20 gal for 2 Autopot Res: Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 1ml/Gal - 20ml pH - 6.12 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 Moby Dick plant 1 branches are growing outwards and the middle part is unoccupied. I supercropped one branch inwards and another outwards. Did the same for the opposing side as well. Was it necessary? Of course not. But did it satisfy my itch? It sure did! 😁
