This is my first Autoflower grow and my second grow overall.

This run is Mephisto Double Grape and Seedstockers O.G. Kush (Auto).

I planted the seeds in the soil on 12/29/21 to see if that would work without germinating first. I'm using tall 5-gallons fabric pots with a mixture of FFHF, FFOF, Brut Super Soil, and a mix of vermiculite and perlite. I made a fist-size pit in the center of the pots and sprinkled Great White all around then added in a handful of seeding mix with a little more Great White. I dampened the center area with a light mix of Tribus, MSA, and Mr. Fulvic. Before that, I dampened the soil to ideal conditions to set up my BluMat Moisture meters.

Today, I added in the BluMat carrots. One carrot goes deep and feeds 3 additional drippers. On a separate waterline, I have 1 ea of the shorter carrots to water at the stem.

See my attached photo for more details.

Day 77 (AM) -- Trike Check

For these Trike Pics, I tried to pull most of the color out of where the trikes are. I think it gives a more realistic picture to judge cloudiness.

The trichomes are looking great!!! You want to look at the complete flower, the top trichomes nearest the light usually turn cloudy first while the lower part of the flower is slower to turn cloudy and amber.
 
Day 82 -- Stats & Notes

The reservoir needs nutrients. I'm only going to add a gallon at a time, so I don't have to throw out much at harvest.

1 Gallon Added:

E.C.: 2.08

pH: 6.32

Either my timing is off, but OGK seems to be drinking less water. When you look at the Mb meter there's a lot less fluctuation day to day. Whereas, Double Grape is still having large swings in its moisture rate.
