Lighting 2 Autocobs, 3 Toof Decay, 1 gal pots with drip stakes..

[slowandeasy]

Hello, I just wanted to start a separate thread for this little experiment. I have 2 Autocobs in a 36x20x60 inch tent. There are currently 4 Toof Decay in 1 gal pots and 3 White Cracks in even smaller pots. I am trying to reduce the size of my plants. I never have an issue growing a big plant in 2 Gal. Hopefully 1 Gal pots instead will help my plan. I will be leaving 3 Toof Decay in the tent, one of the 4 is a mutant...I will keep her in a different area. Wednesday they will be hooked up to a reservoir with a small pump, with Drip stakes in each pot. I will have flow valves to each plant and a timer to Automate it as needed. Here are a couple pics of them at about Day 18... will take pics Wed when hooked up. The pink containers are White Cracks. They will be going into a larger flower area Wednesday, need a to make room. And I just want the 3 Toof Decay under 110w of Autocobs, with consistent watering. I will update every few days, Thanks, slowandeasy

Thanks Big, I am excited to try this Micro grow. They are drying out faster now, Wed they will be hooked up to drip stakes. Will update pics then.

Hooking up drip stakes in a few minutes, will share pics later tonight.

All hooked up! I ran it to see how much output to each. I need to make minor adjustments. Slow one down a little to help balance out the flow. Then adjust the other 2 as needed. I will wait until tomorrow to let the pots dry out a decent amount, then start to dial the drip times set. Probably have the pump on for about 30 seconds on 2-3 times per day. I am looking to keep them moist, with minimal run off each time. I will add Drip Clean next time I make water. I only added a couple gal of water to the Rez. Want to see about how long it lasts before needing to add.

Thanks Proph, here is a little updated picture. The White Cracks are still in there and a mutant Toof Decay. The front 3 are hooked to drip stakes now, have to make room in my large flower area for the rest.

The white cracks are in like 1/2 gal pots, probably @Roasty McToasty size. They are showing preflowers quickly. Smaller pots seem to force Autos to flower sooner than larger pots.

Huuuuuggeee fan of white crack! I have about 5 of em left and its soo hard to hold on to em.. That and Beary White have been my favorites so far.. And what I've learned about roots on autos so far is that they actually do have something to do with triggering the flowering process. Roots seem to know when they can no longer grown outward. I think that once they start to over lap each other, they go into flower. Smaller pots finish quicker. Bigger pots take longer. That is fact!! Root tips are like human brains! Amazing little suckers!

Yeah, my 2 gal plants are getting bigger than I thought they would. Downsizing pots to see what works best for me.
