New member long time grower in Autopots

Its nice to have a rewarding hobby.

It is and I have respect for the older guys especially the ones that have been doing it when it was illegal. I think the excitement for me is breeding and finding another hype strain that most people can enjoy more than anything.

I'm going to leave breeding to the pro's. Its a lot of work to come up with stable genetics. There are so many new strains to try and grow, for me that's enough. I have thousands of seeds, more if I sweep up some. Some would be awesome others would be full of seeds. I don't want to waste my time growing out a plant with more useless seeds that will most likely hermi on me.

Thanks for the welcome, Things seem slow here.Where did all the growers go?

The flower pics look excellent!

There has not been a lot of traffic, but there are a few of us that have been around for a while and still keep an eye on this forum.

Those flowers are absolute fire how do the autpots work exactly? Does it flood on a timer? How long can you leave them without having to top up or do any maintenance on the system. Great looking system you got going bro

Hey thanks, Autopots sit in a tray that is controlled by a float valve and fed through a reservoir. I feed the res every 2-3-4 days depending on their cycle. I use a Promix type , peat based grow medium mixed with added perlite for a 60/40 ish split. A very simple system once you learn your nutrients feed and give them what they want when they want it.

Update, I flipped my girls to 12/12- 2 days ago, a lot later than I had planned I believe my 2 Strawberry Purps are over 6 weeks in veg. I got them all transplanted to my Autopots and my feed is 4/4/4/4/1 + 1tsp epsom salts...That's Micro/Grow/Bloom/Diamond Nectar/Rapid Start in ml/gal.

I took 4 cuttings off 1 Strawberry Purps with the intention of planting all in one Autopot and flipping to flower once they start to grow roots, hopefully in 1 month from today I'll flip them

Hey bro, welcome! Those buds you grew look amazing. Out of the strains you’ve grown, which one did you like best? Do you have seeds from any of those strains?

Another question: at 73 years old, how does cannabis affect you? Does your age have any impact, or do you not have any issues in that regard?
