Lizzy (Herbies Seeds Bruce Banner Auto)
Date: 2/23/24 Day# 9
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with Coco & Dynomyco
Nutrients: MC 2.4g/G 60-90ml/day​

---

I've bumped the feedings up to 60-90ml/day. I'm watering in a much wider circle, almost to the outside of the bucket. So same amount per square inch, just a lot more area to cover. There is still a little bit in the SIP, too. Enough to keep any tap roots that find their way down there happy She's still working on the original gallon jug that I mixed up for her, which I pH'ed yesterday. I'll be bumping up the MC soon, though.

OK, so it's a little boring in the Vivosun Auto Oasis right now. It's just little Lizzy in here. She's looking good and pushing out her second node. The RH is low in the Vivosun Auto Oasis with no other plant to help bring it up. I could put a humidifier in there, but I'm going to let her tough it out a little. Sitting on top of the SIP, she should have more RH than the rest of the tent anyways.

Lizzy (Herbies Seeds Bruce Banner Auto)
Date: 2/26/24 Day# 12
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with Coco & Dynomyco
Nutrients: MC 4g/G​

I've been feeding Lizzy once/day around the outside of the pot. Lately it's been around 100ml spread around the outside. I mixed up a fresh gallon for her this morning at 4g/G MC, a bump up from the 2.5g/G she was getting. I also bumped the @VIVOSUN AeroLight up to 50%. Finishing up her second week I think she's ready for it. I put 1 liter in her res, too, since it was almost empty. I'll keep feeding manually around the outside of the bucket for another week or so, but I think this girl is almost ready to let go in the SIP.

Looks happy so far!

How will you know when the roots hit the res? Are you expecting that growth boost like you'd see in DWC?

The tap root is probably already down there. I do expect to see a growth spurt when it gets well established, and she will start drinking a lot more. My plan is to top-water for a few more days, then seal her up and let the SIP take over.

Date: 2/29/24 Day# 15
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with Coco & Dynomyco
Nutrients: MC 4g/G​

This week I switched up Lizzy's watering. I'm still using the 30ml dropper to top feed her, but instead of watering just around the outside I'm trying to wet the entire surface to a 1-2" depth. I use about 100ml spread across the entire surface, like a light rain. She needed another 1 liter in the SIP res today, too. She'll be finishing up the gallon of 4g/G and moving up to 5g/G with her next feeding.

At day# 15 she's not as big as my usual autos. I'm usually ready to top above the 4th node by day# 20, and I don't think I'll get there with her. I believe it's due to starting in the SIP instead of a 4" pot, where I can control how much she's drinking. I was too lazy for that this time, though, so I just started in the SIP. She does seem to be catching on to the SIP, though, hopefully she starts shooting out some nodes soon

Sweet little thing she will grow.

Thanks Keith, I think she's doing great for starting in the SIP.

Slacker...pull it and start again! On the plus side it looks perfectly healthy.

WooHoo! She looks fine! I believe she will favor the roots until they hit the container, then she will EXPLODE!

Thanks Shed, I'll probably keep her around a little longer

Thanks Med, I agree. I've been starting in a 4" pot and transplanting to the SIP around day# 16. It makes bigger plants at day# 16, but then it usually slows down for a bit until it gets used to the SIP. I'm hoping this one is getting used to the SIP early and she's about to put on a show

That’s what he said.

And reported. As Member of the Year royalty, I expected better.

I start my seedlings out in a mini SIP, either 9 or 32oz. Gives me the control over watering like in any other smallish pot but also gives a jump start on getting the roots converted over.

Wonder if that would help. I know some growers don't like to transplant auto's but sounds like that's your normal process anyway.

WooHoo! Me too! lol

I just started 11 Planet Z's in solo cups, cut into a 10 gal tote with 5 gal water, microfiber wicks.

Thanks! Now I need to find your journal and look for pics!

Best to try the SIP Club thread for that angle.

Yea, I have no issues with transplanting. Next auto will start in a 4" pot with a mini-SIP and be transplanted.

Hi LKA. When you say a 4 inch pot, what is the volume of soil it takes? I pot up from a nursery seedling starter which is about the size of a solo cup, and sometimes in between to a 5 liter Bato pot before going to the 5 gallon bag. I am still undecided on what to do for my next grow because I haven't grown enough autos to be able to judge best practice. So I want to try to follow your methodology as far as I can, and see what happens, only I don't SIP because it's just too impractical in my space to do that. Do you think the solo cup sized starter is a good choice? Would you advise that I pot up to a medium size before the 5 gallon, or should I go straight to the 5 gallon from the starter?

Hi Carmen. Congrats on MOTM! My 4" pots are about the size of a solo cup although a bit more shallow, probably closer to your nursery seedling starter pots. For an auto I would stick with one uppot, and go from the starter to the final pot. I'm not sure there is enough veg/rooting time to justify two uppots with an auto.
