Ep 005: First Autopot Harvest, CO2 Terp Breakdown, Greenhouse Season
· Episode 005 opens with a detailed terpene and cultivar breakdown of the CO2 room harvest, covering Bloogatti (Terp Hogz), MAC 10 Year (Capulator), Mr. Stinky F2 (Tiki Madman), and Kaleidozoap (Elev8 Seeds), all harvested at day 66 flower. Dakota then walks through the first-ever Autopot harvest in the 2x4 and 4x8 tent rooms, showcasing Blood Moon Gelato, Peyote Zkittlez, and Mellowz from Seedsman/Compound Genetics. The outdoor greenhouse segment reveals eight living soil beds loaded with cover crop and new genetics — including Marji's Magic (Huckleberry Hill Farms), multiple homemade BOP crosses, Ridge Lion, and Watermelon Emoji crosses — and introduces a new gravity-fed irrigation system and a dedicated mother/preservation greenhouse. The episode closes with an unboxing of a 24-pot Autopot system slated for the CO2 room's next run, with perlite/coco substrate replacing the problematic rice hulls from the previous cycle.
