Hey dudes and dudettes, long time enthusiast, first time grower here, I guess I decided to go with auto flowers my first time. It's hard to get smoke where I am. Three critical purples and one Hawaiian auto. My two other HA's didn't germinated. Using fox farms ocean forest so I imagine that's cause for the few spots on the leaves. Have the three fox farms ferts for all stages, big bud, and getting an organic root booster Friday to help out.
So I originally planted these in fox farms ocean forest so I think that's part of the leaf spots, but I have kept them on a 24/0 (24 light / 0 dark) scheduled. I've read this soil can burn seedlings so I'm wondering if the extra light cycle helps prevent that by using the excess nutrients? I'm not a rocket surgeon.
They're about a week old. I was going to get bags but I wanted to get them in their final container before their root set because I didn't want the down time and because I planted them originally in smaller pots that didn't drain. I was just super gentle and made sure the soil was moist. So family dollar store laundry hamper it is lol? I am know for being creative. Be gentle, I'm new.
Running 195 cfm with virgin charcoal on low mode. 4x2x4 mylar tent by zeny. Gvg grow lamps 600w with Samsung LEDs. Maybe have $400 including seeds. All bills paid.
Oh using distilled H2O. Waiting on a new pH meter to tackle deficiency problems as they arise.
I come from an engineering background.
Any advice or constructive comments are appreciated.
So far I think they look very healthy.
Edit: sorry for the lines, for some reason the grow lights do that to my phone camera.
