Indoor First auto grow 3x Barney's Farm Blue mammoth

[eleventysix]

So I decided I would start a little grow journal.... finally!
First off I wanted to let you all know what I'm using as far as soil and nutrients
Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Fox Farms Happy Frog
I mixed both bags together since I had been reading that Ocean forest was sometimes a little too hot for seedlings.
as for pots im using 2 gallon felt smart pots and will be using the tiered transplant method
For nutrients I have decided to stick with fox farms and use their Trio of Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger bloom
as far as lights I am now using a 600w mh/hps but using the hps just for this grow.

now this is not from start im coming in around day 20 on one of them and day 8 and 9 on the others from sprouting.

This is my girl thats around 20 days old

They seem to be doing pretty well but if any of you long time auto growers or auto experts have any advice or see anything thats going wrong sure would appreciate the advice!!

Ill definitely check it out ... I was just referring to any suggestions if anyone saw anything I was doing wrong since these autos are quite finicky when it comes to bites and things compare to a photo period plant...

Looks all healthy to me!

well I figured I would give you all a little bit of an update, day 23, 11, and 12..

First up is the 23 day old and shes starting to really grow it seems like shes gaining an inch or two a day its crazy!! explosive vegetation is more like it!

12 days old
The both of these are growing at an incredibly substantial rate! by the time they are 20 days old I would venture to guess they will be bigger than my oldest plant at the same age but we will see!

woodsyb1 I was waiting on you to chime in and thank you so much I did want to ask you since I am using your basic soil setup, at what week did you start feeding your girls?

Hey guys I'm back with another update for yall.. so far my girls seem to be ok at the moment, but I ran into a little problem with my HPS the bulb went out so I had to resort back to my 600w MH for a few days as I'm waiting on another couple bulbs to come in... but back to update time and pictures!

Day 27
This is the biggest of the three also the oldest but shes starting to flower and throwin out little hairs all over..

Day 15
at day 15 shes starting to grow upward more and more each day but shes slowly stopped growing upward since I had the MH put in, also shes starting to get a little yellowing around the lower leaves I fed all of them in their last watering with a 1/4 tsp of big bloom and grow big this might be the issue since I PH'ed the runoff at about 6.5 that seems about right but she is the only of the three that is showing the yellowing so Maybe its a little Nute burn, so I watered with just plain PH'd water today we'll see if that clears it up.. if anyone has any ideas please fill me in ha

Day 14
Last but not least my youngest of the bunch and she seems to be doing very well and took the feeding very well also seems to be loving it!! also her upward growth has slowed a bit since the bulb change also hopefully I can get that HPS back in there relatively sooon!
