Indoor Growing Autos in SIPs with living soil~~> Bloody Skunk, Red Poison, Zkittles, GDP, and Blue Dream

[Zer0]

Well 7 days have passed and they look healthy to me. i pulled the covers back (which was EASY) when i woke up and gave the citypickers 2 liters of water and each small tote 1 liter each of water and replaced the covers, i don't feel i need to swap the black covers to trashbags just yet but who knows i lowered the lights from 43 inches down to 32 inches so i will monitor the temps on the black covers and see if they will be ok.

I noticed 5-10 gnats in the whole tent so i went ahead and added sticky traps and i have some mosquito bits i will mix into water and drench the soil if it becomes a problem, i bought it to add to the res in case gnats thought it was a good idea to thrive in there.

Lights:
bp3000 , bp1500 100%
Light height: 32-34"

Environment:
Temp ~ 68.4°F - 83.7°F Avg 76.6°F (my new portable ac is amazing no more 90+ temps and i sleep better in the room)
RH ~ 49.7% - 95.4% Avg 70% (working on getting the avg down to 60-65%)

I decided to pull their skirts up and give them some veg bokashi and sprayed it in with maybe half a liter per sip. other than that i have done nothing special but watch them grow.

All of these girls are doing great even the runt blue dream looks good to me.

Lights:
bp3000 , bp1500 100%
Light height: 25-28"

Environment:
Temp ~ 70.3°F - 83.3°F Avg 77.2°F
RH ~ 50.7% - 74.8% Avg 64.5%

I finally got around to cleaning my tower fan from my last few grows and mounted it up as high as i could for some massive airflow making all the girls dance nicely. tomorrow my big plan is to add a bamboo stick to every plant and add a little BuildaFlower as this will be a good time to give some nutes 2 weeks in advance when the soil starts to lag.

@WildBill i noticed the res in both citypickers are empty this morning while the DIY sips still have water in there. I took to cover off and seen plenty of moisture so maybe its just slower with 1 plant per sip vs 3 haha

While mounting the fan it looked like 2 girls grew 3inches over night and 1 has some red coming in on her buds which should be normal as it is red poison auto

Amazing growth so far, the best i have ever had with cannabis and feeling proud so far even with the runt, nothing wrong with it other than being small lol

I have been filling the res the next day whenever seeing that they are dry minus the runt which can not drink the res fast enough so i give some top feeding plus a little in the res, if it does not drink it in 72 hours i suck it out with a shop vac give it a day or 2 and repeat, doing so has improved her size, i also removed 6-8 leafs and pulled 2 of her branches out with wire ties, seemed to help

3 plants are showing colors, 2 red poisons in the middle side by side looking like 1 plant and the bloody skunk in the middle of the right citypicker is turning a black/red around its buds a little differently than red poison but still pretty, hard to take pictures of it with my phone, i may buy a camera made for this stuff as i hate using a phone to focus in on these plants.

My beaver genetics Sorbet Dream in the 6.6 gallon autopot is 7 days old now

I have been doing this wrong but i caught it early and corrected myself, i was feeding 400ppm of mega crop v3, epson salt, and cal/mag whenever the promix looked dry but have since been giving daily splashes of it and growth has increased.

Lights:
bp3000 , bp1500 100%
Light height: 36" on autopot, 32" on the runt, and 23-25" on the rest of the girls.

Environment:
Temp ~ 71.1°F - 82.4°F Avg 76.6°F
RH ~ 51.0% - 78% Avg 64.7%

I have been sloppy with res filling as they are drinking 1 gallon to fast now, next dry cycle they all will be getting 2 gallons of water in their res's

Other than sloppy res fillings everything is going good with these girls minus the runt, i'm still deciding if i want to remove her and start another plant in her place, she won't yield much and is going to be annoying with light heights once little beaver's sorbet dream outgrows the runt. I'm giving her another 5-7 days to show me she wants to live.

Colors have been great in the tent so far

I had a perfect grow going until i ran out of rainwater, my tap seems to have caused a PH issue with all of my plants. I should of ph'ed it down but i didn't and now i have yellow leafs. i have since been phing the tap down to 6.9-7.1 hoping this solves it.

While filling the res's today i decided to give all the containers some BuildaFlower and bloom bokashi watered in and fresh straw on top hoping to keep it moist as the top was dry when i pulled the cover back ; /

I killed off the runt blue dream as she was not even close to budding like the rest of the tent and was still growing abnormal but things to note was my DIY SIP worked great, the roots were thick and all in the 2 wicks and the worms looked happy too.

Here are the weekly pictures, not thrilled with these girls anymore.

Along with yellowing now i have tip burns lol oh well they are budding up nicely. Just filling the res when needed and picking out the dead leafs. 1-3 more weeks on these red poisons and bloody skunks they looking closer than normal but gdp and zkittlez will need a lot more time for sure.

Week 8 and it should be the finishing time for the sweet seeds. I think the bloody skunks and red poisons are done but i will let them go 1 more week just for the hell of it and being lazy. Both sips have slowed down on water drinkage and the right sip has stopped drinking for 3 days now so those 3 plants might be done for sure and the left sip with Zkittlez in it is still drinking but slower, i think the zkittlez is the only 1 drinking from that sip as she looks to have a few more weeks left in her. GDP looks to be on zkittlez schedule and needs more time so next week i should be chopping 5 plants and i'll be left with more space for beaver's sorbet dream as she is a huge plant and is already bigger than anything in the tent, the power of autopots, she seems to be drinking a gallon a day or so.

heh looks like a mess since adding the extra 2 lights (110w each) oh and i upgraded to a 6 inch filter, the 4 inch was not working out in flower.

Tomorrow if I'm not lazy I'll scope the bloody skunks and red poisons and chop if they are done which i bet they are because my autopot plant sorbet dream is taking over the tent and i need more space. gdp and trizkits have another week before i judge them for their death row walk.

Sorbet dream is 6 weeks today and is huge! my biggest plant to date for me

i got some lights off with flash included and the normal lights on pics too

Here we can see sorbet dream cover up gdp to the right and in the back she is covering up bloody skunk lol big ass plant.
