Thanks Doc - RO water is whats on the menu for the ladies anyways. Sometimes I do top drench with goodies - no go with the auto pots?
Building soil - yay us.. love me some worm castings and granite dust FTW. I bought a bunch of bags of already mixed PREMIER BioMax 3-in-1 Garden Mix is a ready-made blend of compost, black earth, and Canadian sphagnum peat moss with mycos and limestone dust.. I add in a crap ton of aeration a few minerals "and so forth". Ready ... grow.
Hey Doc gotta give you some serious reps for the Auto Pot system. This is some serious gear. I just transplanted a lady that just showed sex last night into one of the pots ... she never skipped a beat. I think the 6.6 gal pot size is perfect for big LED lamps like what you are using with a short over head. I have a 7 foot ceiling in my flower room and I've got the lamps at 6' - ladies grow to 48"-58". Some ladies don't like the intensity. I think I need to start them out hot (higher intensity) so they get used to it in flower.
I see you got some bud bleach. I had that too last run plants not used to the big lamps I think; top nug goes white ... still tastes good on the back side - the plants stop vertical growth pretty much as soon as the white tops show is my experience. Try training that will work??
Fast forwards to now.. yikes. Seeds .. hey man I can remember when we were smoking up all the good strains from the 70s - they all had seeds.. well a few exceptions (Maui Wowi is one, Thai Stick too). It's part of the whole.... round ball life keeps moving on. You will to bro - no worries no worries, love and life still with you, right?..
Seeds aren't the end of the world - they are the beginning. If you're stressing where they came from.. could be the neighbors f-ing up too ... nice wind and boom.
