Hello everyone,this is my first time posting here,and the first time growing autoflowering cannabis.I have grown outdoor regular cannabis strains so i have a bit of experience with this stuff.
So...this is the story:I am growing under my kitchen table.No space cause my appartment is kinda small,but i think this will as i plan to LST the hell of this baby.
The lights i am using are 6 cfl(3 2700k and 3 6400k) that total to about 150w,so about 9000 lumens.
Growing medium is a noname soil that i have used succesfuly before and also added 10-15% perlite for better air circulation\drenage.This suff went into a 4L pot that i got really cheap.
As nutrients go i have BioBizz BioGrow and Bloom.
Using 1 Dutch Passion's Think Different seed to see how it goes and if everythink is good i will do 2 more TD the next grow.
Alongside my TD i will be growing a Norther Lights regular plant that is in flowering for about 2 weeks now.She is on 12\12 so half of the time the Think Different will have all the space to herself.
Forgot to mention i will do a 24\0 grow.
So....Some pictures of the grow.

And the 2 week flowering regular Northern Lights

As you can see from the pictures,the pot i am growing in is orange colored and i am thinking to cover it with something cause light and roots dont mix verry well.What do you guys think?Will this be a problem?
Untill now i have only given her plain water but that will change today or tommorow when i will add 1\4 BioGrow to her watering.
On the bottom of the pot i can see her roots comming out,and from what i have heard she will explode with growth after her root mass gets a bit bigger.
Tell me what you think guys keeping in mind my grow is on a pretty small budget.
Probably will add 2 more lights in there after she gets into flowering to give her a boost.
Any tips are welcomed especially from ppl that have grown Think Different.
nJoy and i will post as soon as she grows a bit bigger.

Good to have you join the AFN family....

Looking good... Think Different and Bio-Bizz nutrients work well together in my experience.... get banging the feed into her sooner rather than later 1/4 is that ml per litre that will be a little weak in my experience however if that is what you normally do and it works for you carry on...

Please pop over to the introductions bit and introduce yourself....

Happy growing

Hey and Welcome!
Sounds like a great plan!
If the pot is as light colored as it looks, covering it with something is a good idea. Might just be that ounce of prevention kind of thing!
The Kings advice is spot on as always too. Look forward to following along.
Peace and happy growing.

Hello guys i'm back with a little update.
Introduced 1ml\L of BioGrow yesterday and it seems to work well.No burn till now and hopefully it wont burn at all.Next time i water i will flush it with plain water and the next feeding will be with 2 ml\L.
As you can see from the pics side branches are starting to pop up.Will LST the plant once ut has 4\5 dodes and a few side branches.
Not sure if i should foliar feed it yet.What do you think?Any advice on foliar feeding in first 2 weeks of life?

Waiting for your feedback.

Welcome to the show. I promise you won't find a better community out there. Need anything, let us know, but you seem to have your head on straight. Glad you're here!
 
p.s. I would f.f just yet. save that as a preemptive strike vs cal mag issues, but I doubt they'll arise. anyone else wants to step in and offer counteradvice be my guest. just mah two cents.
 
Thanks man.Will wait with the foliar feed for now.Waiting to see how she handels the nuts i've given.

Always better to underfeed in the beginning than overfeed. Good plan redsky. I would rather suffer a few grams loss than an entire plant and weeks of care.

Best of luck with your grow my friend, happy to have you with us.
 
Looking good, redsky. :kusht:
X2 what A4 said, you can always ramp up after you see what your gals can handle.
What foliar mix are you planning to use?
