Hozona, Fifi, Pita, Sue, Cronic, Jaga, & Welshy: 
Jimbo: I think you're right. So I'm wondering why the unsealed SIPs don't get this build up. On those we alternate the method of feeding:
Top feed every other watering
Bottom feed (fill the reservoir) every other watering
It usually takes 2 or 3 days for a plant to empty out the reservoir.

Thanxx Dusty and Brother, & Dirty it's from the same batch as yours. :

AFGHAN KUSH (Auto) Day 86 completely under 18/6
This is our first auto. I see now on the most part they're easy to grow & train. Just do as you would with photos; except train early to get the structure you want and then leave them be. It yielded about what we've been averaging in 2lt Soda Pop Pots. The only problem I see with autos is when they're done they're done; no clones or re-vegging.
One idea has crossed my mind. If you only harvest the top half of an auto will the bottom half continue to mature & grow since the conditions will stay the same? If so could you do this repeatedly?
Wet Weight
Here's a look at the experiment we've been conducting cloning cuttings from a plant in bloom; One staying under 12/12 while the other was put back under 18/6. This is Day 14 for the both of them.
The one under 12/12 appears to have started resuming her bloom cycle while the one under 18/6 is taking her time trying to re-veg. The purpose of this experiment is to see if a cut from a plant in bloom would continue to flower if left under 12/12.
PS: I've yet to succeed cloning a plant in bloom.

Hey Reg-
How's your clone of a clone (in perlite) doing? Still improving?
As a new kid on the block, I hesitate to offer much advice, but since I also have a plant in soiless (rockwool cubes) that looked almost the same, I thought I'd offer this for consideration.
I've tried PH feeding and waterings ranging from 5.5 to 6.5. None really helped. What did make a huge difference for me is getting more water through the plant with each feed/water. My guess is salts or other crud was building up in the "soil" even though I did have some runoff with each watering - just not enough. These soiless mediums offer no buffer like good old dirt. After a big flush, and using more solution each time, the results have been pretty dramatic. Nothing else has changed. This is in spite of a pretty severe root aphid infestation that has become apparant in the last week. The plant also added 3-1/2" in the last week (not bad since it was near death and only about 7" tall a month ago). Here are some before and after pic's. Dunno if it will help you, but it might be worth a shot. Best of luck w/it!

Fifi, Jaga, Skunny, Sweets, Dirty, & Jade: Thanxx
Pita: Last night she looked ok but I haven't reset the Bloom Tent timer yet so I don't really get a chance to STARE at the 12/12 plants before leaving for work in the morning. I'll move it up an hr this weekend. Thanxx for reminding me & I'll let you know how she's doing when I get home.

Fifi: And I missed you as well.
Carestaker, Cronic, Jimbo, & Jaga: Thanxx
Dirty: I wouldn't be mad if you continued to spray every night with Snow Storm Ultra just so we can see how a regiment like that would effect plants.
LEMON KUSH (In unsealed SIP with a Micro-scrog) Day 48
We've attached the screen to the pot using two clothes hangers. Should I wait until she reaches the net before flipping her to 12/12?
With a SCroG screen you should allow the plant to grow and weave the branches through the SCroG screen until 60% full then switch to flower. The branches continue to be trained through the SCroG screen during the stretch phase of flower.
Congratulations on your harvest!

It's not easy leaving the girls, there's been enough mornings I've ran late from messing around in these tents. I finally reset the timer for the bloom tent last night & was thinking about Dr. Ziggy going 11/13. I kept it on 12/12 but instead of robbing the plants of an hour sleep I just sent them to bed an hour earlier. Now they're back on my wake, bake & stare schedule.I can't have the lights come on before I go to work or I will be late everyday
Seriously though.
It was a snow/rain mix this morning but everything's cleared up now.Is it still snowing..
Welcome aboard NewBoy.
Ok then John. I'll post pics of her at least once a week for advice & thanxx.

I didn't forget about you Pita. She's done a 180 since adjusting her feed to a PH level of 5.8 instead of 6.5, she even started to bloom. It was me not paying attention to detail again. Since I hadn't grown in anything but soil up to this point adjusting to 6.5 is like 2nd nature after mixing nutes. Good thing I caught myself.

Dry Weight
There won't be a dry weight on the Afghan Kush we chopped 2 days ago. I donated that harvest to my sister last night. But no need to panic, there's another Afghan Kush auto that should be ready any day now.
sweet update Brotha Gratz too
