Seedstockers - Rucu Cucu OG Auto

Week 10 and she's stalled big time. Pistols are still white

She will still give you some buds mate and if she's still drinking she's still growing I've enjoyed reading about this grow keep up the good work

Thank you sir I'm glad you enjoyed the read.

I think it started off wrong, underfed in Veg. Possibly locked out at some point. Its my second run in autopots so possibly something isn't dialled in right. Let's hope the sherbet brings me some dense buds.

Hey @2-Scoops need your help....





I think it's locked out bro. I was going to flush but I thought I'd hold off and get your proper advice in terms of flushing and nutrient ph levels etc

This happened to me in flower on my previous grow too

So before it hits the sherbet I want to be sure I'm not going to screw this over.

She's looking pretty yellow mate, especially for the amount of feed. I'd would be giving her a good flush if it was me. If she stays yellow after that, id be looking to make sure you don't have any pests that are causing the issue. I've had plants that look like they have lock out, then tired all sorts of flushing.... just to find out that they had root aphids some other pest causing the issue.

Anyways I am sure 2-scoops will help you out with some solid advice as always. And if not, then just harvest what you can and try and do better on the next run.

Cheers buddy. I want to flush it today...what's the process for flushing coco? Weak nutrient solution? Or just plain pH water? Or flush thoroughly with same strength nutrients I.e. 2.5ml/l a and b and 0.5ml/l pk13/14

[Cave Hill Cole]

I normally flush with just straight water. If your wanting to be precise apparently your goal should be to reduce the run-off EC by half.

[2-Scoops]

I'm same as Cole just flush it back with shit loadsa water and start feeds back, maybe drop 0.5ml from A&B. Quick flush no faffing straight in bath and slam a load of water through it, ph or dont ph its your shout, i dont think it makes much of a difference, well it never has to me anyhow. You`ve had problems with this for some time now, im clueless as to why though.

Cheers bro.

So flush with 0.5ml a and b? Or is that the feed after the flush?

In my head I'm thinking flush through, and then put straight back into autopot system at 2.5ml and 0.5ml pk13/14

Do you think its possibly pk13/14 that's causing this? Bottle expiry is 2025. It did sit in my garage once open for a year or so but closed. My garage can be damp. I'm clutching too..coz it's second time around this has happened.

Temps are around 25 to 28c
Humidity is around 40%

It starts from bottom and works it's way up.

I'm thinking NFT next run. These pots passing me off..but I might not be them.

Nah when or if i ever flushed plants through ive just used water straight outa tap so long as its not too cold jobs a good en, peeps say it needs ph`ing and some say add a low dose of ferts too, Ive tried every way down years and opted for quickest eventually no faffing about type. Basically i would put pot in bath and run it through with loadsa water then I'll feed ferts through top a dose straight away at strength your gonna be using thats been ph`ed before putting back in your system.

Problem with your system if your not on top of it as grow goes along salts can easily build up, but feeding a fert regime at doses I've mentioned to you before shouldn't cause problems like that. I think it was 1ml when young, 2ml in full veg and 2.5ml in bloom first 3 weeks before dropping them back to 2ml. PK boost is ok at 0.5ml

@2-Scoops and @Cave Hill Cole

Thank you both foe your help

I ran 20l of plain water..no pH through the pot...MAN the first bucket of run off stank!!! Either the roots are rotten or that one one hell of a nasty salt build up.

I then ran 5l of nutrient solution 2.5ml a and b and 0.5pk13/14. Ph 6.1. By the time I'd ran this through, the run off water was pretty clear as opposed to the initial dark water..not quite brown but salty/misty. Ew.

Pot connected back to the system now.

The bud sites look well with white pistils. But now it's upto whatever dude lives up there to see if she pulls through with any flowers. No Amber hairs yet so hoping she's still got time..not sure how autos work in this respect..could it already have finished it's cycle and its dead?

So I potentially have a theory - I could be causing the issue.

So when I started I drenched the pots then transplanted seedlings. Now I know that gave me issues because that was stupid as there is no way a seedling is going to drink all the water straight away in a 15l pot. Anyway..the rucu cucu initially took off okay..but potentially the coco sat damp for too long at the bottom and maybe caused a bit of nasty rot at bottom maybe? Where as the sherbet the coco was dry second time round after scoops told me to water around it 200ml around the plant etc..rather than drench the pot. The sherbet will be the true teller. If thar fucks up then autopot bye bye.

[wutang]

My other theory is that 1inch of clay pebbles at the bottom isn't enough?

I didn't want my clay pebbles but did run water through the coco and pebbles before transplanting seedling
