Hi everyone ok so this is my first grow. I picked up four autos. In this order I've planted them. 4\20 directly germinated in the coco. 4\23 sprouted of the 2 fast 2 vast auto. I watered pure pH 7 a few times . after three or for days I watered until almost the gallon came out. Terrible mistake then from there I let it sit for a week or two and became a underwaterer but it never showed on the plants... After that week 3 I started watering every few days new regime! with 1\4th nutes until a week ago I used half strength every 3 days regime. This seems to work. Next watering used full strength and its growing but with no kabooms i hear and see on youtube etc...
temps are good humidity has been between 40%+ most of the time.my fourth auto is just a sitting dead duck waiting to come back alive, jacked it full of half strength nutes fkd it up big time. . its just sitting there alive and contemplating g-d damnit weird. Anyway back to my first one.
She's small for a month and 9days.. I have her under three 40w 6500k cfl... The growth has finally started nicely but why did it take a month?
My second and third auto planted 430 sprouted 5\3.., three days after sprout I transplated.. No water.. but they stayed healthy, always healthy looking plants!. I started them on a3 day regime a week and a half ago with 1\4th then 1\2th strength nutes. They are taking well now, but still same thing, slow start and slow going on 3 weeks later but the regime seems to be working, my suspicion is that I watered like shit. From what I've. Collected I need to use pH 5.8 with 1/4 nutes after sprout for a week around the base of the plant to guide the tap root down, 1\4th gallon everday for that week then start the 3 day regime half strength. then every 2 waterings bump up the strength by 1/4th.. I don't know why else they went so slow. I'm using full coco and 1 gallon perlite res on the bottom with the hole.. All rinsed.no coco charge. Next grow, the only thing I can see to do different is more waterings and mix perlite into the coco along with the res. Pix soon... They all have always looked healthy always.
