Week 1
Germination.
For germinating I went with the old soak in glass of water for 24hrs and straight in to a Root Riot plug way. Within 24hrs she was making a bid for freedom and fully up in 48hrs

Day 1

Day 4

Day 7

I did start another Elephant, as around the 3rd day I wasn't too happy with how Nelly was looking leaves looked just a tad iffy, so I started another, just to be safe.
Thankfully Nelly seems to of grown out of it and is looking pretty normal now so I'll probably just leave the newb to grow in the Solo Cup

Day 11

I'll give her another couple of days and I'll pot her up in her new home I haven't decided on pot size yet, possibly going in a Autopot.

As for baby Elle, she's not looking the best I think it has something to do with the tap root growing up and out, then back in the top of root riot cube hopefully she'll come good.

Week 2
All going well with Nelly I transferred her to her new home today, I went with the 15ltr Autopot. I've only used it once before on a photo grow and the result was pretty poor fingers crossed I'll have better luck this time we'll see

Week 3
Elephant Auto
So far so good with Nelly, she's looking healthy and beginning to fill out the pot She's definitely a chunky wee lass and thankfully, she's settled in to her new home nicely, well I haven't heard any complaints
I can just about the snips in, so tomorrow, she'll be getting topped
Elephant 1
Day 17

As for little Elle, she's still looking rough and she's growing at a wanky angle I should really put her out of her misery as I don't think she'll amount to much, but you never know.

Auto Elephant
Week 4
So far all is going well with Nelly after her topping the other day, I've done a little leaf tucking to help promote the lower shoots to the top, other than that, I've just left her to it
I'll probably give it till the end of week, then set up and turn on the Autopot
Auto Elephant 1
Day 22

As for Ellie, she doesn't look to be getting any healthier still a strange colour to her, it looks almost like Elephant skin I've removed her from the solo cup and put her in a small plastic pot, see if that helps any. I've also topped her and removed all the lower growth I'll try and sort of mainline her, just for shits and giggles

Day 16

Till the next time grow bro's an gal's

Auto Elephant
Day 24
I haven't decided yet, but I may wait until she starts flowering before I turn the Autopot on. That way I know she has had as good a start to life as with the rest of my plants, and if it does all go to crap, I'll know the reason why She's probably only got another week or so of veg, and I don't want to be farting around swapping the feed in Res from veg to pre flower and then to bloom, we'll see

When I was feeding her earlier, I noticed the first few roots coming out the bottom of pot so she's pretty much ready to go on the Res.
Also I did a little lst on her yesterday, just to open her up a bit it's a work in progress.

Day 24

Ellie is still plodding along I was hoping she would of grown out of whatever it is thats causing the funky looking leaves but that doesn't look like happening anytime soon

Auto Elephant/Oliphant
Day 26
All looking good with Nelly, so far and after the bit of lst, she's beginning to get quite a nice shape to her Also her first pistils have made an appearance
There's a lot more roots trying to escape from bottom of pot, so when it's time for her next feed, I think it would be a good time to turn the Autopot on

Auto Oliphant/Elephant
Day 28
Right, the Autopot is on and feeding Nelly I started out with 8 litres of a pre flower feed,
GHE Flora Trio
Micro 1ml/l
Grow 1ml/l
Bloom 0.75ml/l
Vitalink Cal/Mag 1.2ml/l
Ph'd to around 6.
Well I actually thought I'd start with 4 litres, but after I got back from playing Fuckit (or golf as it's more commonly known as ) I checked on the bin and it was almost below filter so I whanged in another 4 litre. Hopefully that will last a couple of days at least, we'll see I suppose
Nelly
Day 28

As for the baby Pachyderm, I have topped both mains at their 3rd nodes and I've removed all growth from the 2nd nodes, so I will have 8 colas at the end, maybe

Day 32
It's 4 days since I turned the Autopot on and so far, she seems to be enjoying it and is still looking healthy I've changed her feed to a flower feed now. Mainly because the rest of my plants are on it, but also because she's about to flower anyway.
GHE Flora
Micro 0.8ml/l
Grow 0.4ml/l
Bloom 1.2ml/l
Vitalink Cal/Mag 1.2ml/l
Dutch Pro, Clean It 1ml/10l
Ph'd to around 6.2

Ellie
Not much to say about her she's alive and growing, just about, so it's all good
