Hi there!

Here is my grow. It's a 180W (100W actual draw) 6 spectrum 3w led from China.

Tent is 60x60x140cm

Using 12L airpots, gold label special mix soil and gold label nutes.

The girl is a "sweet seeds +speed auto" just coming to the end of day 25. Pre-flowering started day 20 and yesterday stretched 3cm and a full node. She is now 24cm tall.

Looks good out except one half of one node is stunted, was born that way.

Today I set down seed number 2 for germination. She is in the peat pot at the back of the photo of my tent. The peat pot's top and bottom will be ripped off at transplant into the airpot. (when roots show out the bottom). From day one she will be fed root feed at half strength. This is what i done with the first girl.

Looking VERY healthy!

Rolling along just swimmingly. My first grow was very similar in that I had one UFO (a bit smaller - 135W - 90W actual) and the Sweet was Dark Devil. :)

Welcome to AFN!

Maybe head over to introductions and give us a little data to get to know yah!

Cheers!
 
Hey xyz, welcome to the site.. plant looks great so far.. I been askin about root stim from day 1 so there I go.. Ive learned somethin from your first post ;-) good luck with the rest of the grow dude
 
Yeah hope2grow I had no issues from my root feed.

Trapper, yeah she does look healthy! If you look close at the plants fan leaves you see some "marks", well the ph was off as I had no way to measure. I used my tap water for the first week which is ph 8!!! (a bit less with the root feed added). Anyway it got corrected after week one and now I water at a steady 6.2ph The new leaves show less and less markings daily. I water daily in these airpots, nutes one day, water the next, 400 ml daily at the moment. 500ml with 100ml runoff.

peace :peace:
 
Today my girl drunk 1.2L nutes, 1.4 L with 200ml runoff. She also grew another node and 4cm overnight. 28cm tall now. Eating a whopping 1.7ec with no adverse affects. I think she can be pushed harder.
 
The seed in the peat pot germinated today. I made a mistake with her day in the photo in my original post. I said day 25 should have been day 24.

Today is day 27. She is 35 cm tall.

Just popped in to see the girls before lights out. looked at the bottom of the peat pot. The taproot was already poking through the peat pots. Easy-peazy since I kept the peat pots nice and moist throughout the germination in the tent. I am a believer in germinating seeds in the environment they will grow up in and autos make this easy with a tiny personal space like mine.

So I proceeded to mix a liter of rood feed and do an emergency transplant before the taproot could get any damage or try to grow into the paper plate. I only removed the top half of the peat pot since the taproot was obviously doing just fine in the peat and I watered in with 200 ml of 0.5ml/L of gold label roots. Then I realised, I didn't ph down! measure it at 8.0, so i ph'd down the remaining solution to 5.8 with my apple cider vinegar and just gave it another 200ml. That should balance things out ok, the soil will buffer the ph too. The last plant suffered a week of the same and done fine.

Here's a pic of a very small plant in a fairly big pot, She shouldn't stay like that for too long though :)

Hi everyone

Day 30 for the big one. 45cm tall, still in pre-flower, not slowing down yet. She is very sativa dominated compared with most pics I have seen online. I expect her to run quite long.

Day 4 for the baby.
