1st grow
Thanks LuckyThief86 a lot of good info.
Yah I didnt want to replant @ all so I bought those peat pots which I was told mold after you plant them into bigger pots so out they went when I was told that my soil was way too high in fert
They've been replanted twice the 1st time was my fault I thought my original soil was what was causing all their stress but turns out it was lack of humidity..
They'll only be replanted 1 last time into their 5g pots when needed I did have them on 24hr light & just lastnight switched them off for 5 hours but if you say 20/4 then thats what I'll do..
IMO I think their small but what do I know this is my 1st time growing ever..Hell this is the 1st time seeing a plant this young..lol
I got the seeds on May 17th @ 12 noon I germed them & this is what they looked like 2 days ago..
I've read people that have 2 week old plants that are 6-7 inches tall already..!?
I can however see new growth today :thumbsup:
Anyway thanks for the input
Peace

There's some yellowing on the outside of your leaves, which you should look in to. Your girls are asking for help.
Your plants are about to explode. Autoflowers have a 15 day vegetative growth before they start blooming. You just exited that, so be prepared for a lot of good growth my man!
I'm not saying 20/4 is -the- way to go. If you're doing 19/5, and that works, keep with it. I've heard of 18/6 working just fine. Feel it out, you know?
5gal buckets for an autoflower? I hope you're only using a bucket or two. Autoflowers grow best in what I've been told is called the 'sea of green' set-up, which is what I have. I'm using an EarthBox, and I have three healthy adult plants, and one that is rather diminutive in stature. However, I think it's because of a bad seed. Anyway, my point is, if you get caught, they count the weight of the soil towards the amount of pot you are growing. There was an article in High Times, if I'm not mistaken, about a woman getting hit with 86 pounds because of all the soil she had. The pigs are vicious, and will try to ream you as hard as they can.
My only concern with your plants, like I said, is the yellowing. Is that -browning- on the tips? That indicates death in the leaf. Get on that.

Yeah the brown tips are from the soil I was told had way too much fertilizer in it but since I put them in the new soil they have like you said exploded I see 4 new leaves coming in already I'm sure the co2 is helping alot too but now that I have and know everything I need I'm ready for them to grow
I have 3 gallon pots if you think they would be better ? I only have 3 plants going right now but will start germing some more once I feel these ones are taken care of

Forgot to mention that when I ordered these seeds 1 came cracked in the vile & was a dud..
So I asked the place where I got them from if they replace bunk seeds they said yes of course
so i asked for a different strand & this is what I picked up @ the post office today
Freebies..!! So stoked to try these 80% Sativa 20% Indica w00t

Sorry to post so much. Going back over your old posts, keeping them in a tank is actually a really terrible idea. The plant uses up all the CO2 around it, but with stagnant air, doesn't circulate, and doesn't grow. At -least- put a small little computer fan in there to circulate the air. It -has- to be moving. At least, this is what I've learned. I could be completely wrong. :)
I'm expecting two ounces off -one- of my autoflowers. Two zips off one plant? Oh yeah. Take good care of them, because one day they're going to take care of you.

No worries m8 post away the more you do the more i learn :)
I do have a small fan that blows air into the tank from the front & out a crack in the back plus I have the CO2 line running in
but the fan prolly just blows it right back out lol

Good job on the free seeds! I got a tattoo with a seed distributors logo, and they sent me something like 50 free seeds. My next strain is World of Seeds Afghan Kush Ryder; 22% THC content!
Anyway, you could use a small fan, like an 80mm. You just need the air moving around, it doesn't need to be replaced; just circulated. It makes it so the plant always has fresh CO2 and air available to it.
Definitely need a new grow light. Your plants are going to grow now, and grow a lot.
My EarthBox is alright, but if you get one, don't use the fertilizer they provide. It's a 7-7-7, sure, but when you have to use Sledge Hammer, or a similar product to destroy the salts, you're going to need a lot of it, because there's going to be a -lot- of salt. The only downfall with it is that I'm growing inside, and it's really hard to drain the reservoir. It's designed for outdoor growing, and to wash it out, you just flood it with a hose. I, however, had to use a submersible pump, a couple buckets, and a buddy, as well as some whiskey to get the taste of nutrient solution out of our mouths from the siphoning we had to do to get the pump started. Nasty!
One thing I learned to do, is plan ten steps ahead. When you have the money, get what you need. I go without gas money, and without a lot of luxuries because I'm taking this growing thing incredibly serious. I have a few pairs of magnifying glasses, some snips, a scalpel, microscope, soil pH tester, a -lot- of different organic nutes, etc. etc. etc. I also have canning jars for curing, and a trim tray for when I need it. A spray bottle with filtered water, and a spray bottle with foliar spray.
You're spraying too much, which is why your plants wilted. Spray twice a day, lightly. Like, when you go to the store, how the misters turn on lightly for a few seconds every like, six hours? Do that. Don't drench them. When they wilt like a weeping willow, you're drowning them.
According to Maximum Yield Monthly, or High Times section by Nico Escondido [it's so hard to keep what articles came from where after years of arguing], thought I'm pretty sure it was HT... Yeah, it was an article in the July 2011 issue, with the cover story about Marc Emery being interviewed in prison. Page 112, about how important flushing is.
"Really savvy growers implement a flushing program that runs concurrently with the regular feeding schedule. For example, some growers may feed with a nutrient solution on day one, then flush completely with purified water on day two and give the plant nothing on day three, allowing the medium to dry almost completely. Not only does this encourage better root growth, but it also helps prevent nutrient lock-up from dissolved salts"
Using an EarthBox, I've yet to have a problem with nute lock. Could just be me. Either way, back to you!
You'll want a better setup for your Neville's Haze. Those are full-sized plants, and you'll want a HID [high-intensity discharge] light like HPS [high pressure sodium] or MH [Metal Halide] to properly grow them; or better, if you can, do them outside. In Humboldt County, CA, they have plants that harvest 10 pounds apiece. They are large, like trees.
I have listed all my contact information in my profile. Feel free to contact me. I may not be the best resource to use, but I'll tell you everything I've read that might help you.

All that extra stuff is for experts bro. Get rid of the CO2, you need high temps and SEALED rooms among other variables. Its really not a benefit for small grows.
I just replied to this same scenario in another thread. All you need is Light,Soil,Ventilation.
Now, with autos, they have a 'X' amount of veg days that are imprinted in their growth pattern. So you want to plant them in what will be their final home from seed(3 gal is fine). Otherwise you will stunt them and effect yield. Now you have had those autos goin for a while now and are no where near flower.. Id still be interested to see how they finish if you can keep em goin.
That CFL you have is fine up until the 3rd or 4th set of leaves.
If you can keep a constant flow of fresh air, proper watering/drying, and decent lighting, you got green :thumbsup:
