1st grow

[LuckyThief86]

If the rule of thumb is one gallon per foot, you could put two autoflowers in a 3g pot. Like I said. Foot and a half each.

Instructions on germing? God bless Canada

Good luck Wicked! Post some new pics!

Heres some pics I just snapped off in their new luxury apartment with waterfall & wading pool..LOL :thumbsup: This still doesnt keep the humidity up as high as I want it but it evaporates less quickly..

None of the new leaves have any kind of discoloration so it had to have been that soil I was using before.. Should I add a bit more soil to support the stem I do have a small pc fan blowing on them to strengthen it but it still looks like their too thin to support those leaves..

Thanks guys

Peace

o0 New growth, lookin better man!

Na, no soil yet. the weight and wind will make it wanna thicken its stem (forcing more growth). As they get older, they like being deprived and damaged

Doesn't work like that:
-When they get bigger, the roots will fight each other, and one will likely win out and grow bigger, if not suffocate the other to death.
-If one shows a nutrient deficiency and the other doesnt, how do you up that specific nute intake on one and not burn the other??
-If one goes male/hermie, how do you pull it without damaging the roots system of the other??

Always think long term, stay green!

Thats a good point I would have never thought of one choking out the other..

approx how big will these guys be good for until i gotta plunk'em into the pots..?

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)

"if" I were you, i would transplant the two older ones in a week; Enough time to truly recover again.
For the small/new one that looks to just have sprouted, i would transplant ASAP.

Photo-period strains are a lot easier for first time grows, they are forgiving to mistakes.
But Auto strains require set-ups that are known to work. If they are stressed in any way, recovering takes away from veg and ultimately flowering.

Remember with autos, Once they pop, their countdown to finished product has begun.

Thanks

Just a after weekend update now that Im getting over my hangover..lol




Anyone know why this little guys leaves are rounded instead of pointy..?
The 1st set are rounded the the 2 new ones coming in are normal..
Its a 60 day wonder the same as what I already have growing..

Lookin Green! All new growth looks in good condition, id say ur well on ur way man :thumbsup:

They Might be the same strain but that one could be a different pheno... grow her out, lets see if theres a diff.

[WickedJack]

As you can see I havent gotten around to planting that baby in the bigger pot
I gotta wait until friday for more lights..
Having only the 1 cfl I have to keep them all the same height.

Im debating on what I should get, go with T5's keep it simple with no heat issues or go with a HID & worry about the heat..

My space is only going to be maybe 2x2' or 3x3' but I could very easily make a hole thru the wall & vent into the crawl space..

I grow with a t5 and like it. But u have to keep it close so u still battle heat. My space is 4 x 2 and after putting in a 6inch exhaust fan m heat woes r over.
