First time grower, full of doubts - Also sort of a growth journal

[Django_TO]

Hi everyone,
I just started my first grow. I believe i messed up on the germination process. I used a Royal Queen Seeds starter kit for autoflower, and i may have left the seedling for too long in the propagator. Long story short, i have a 80cmsx80cmsx180cms tent, and i use a TGL Star 100, one extractor, 1 fan. I have 4 11l pots and i have 2 easy buds and 2 critical (all autoflowering from RQS) growing. Before the transplant (tuesday 02/11) i watered the pots with ph corrected water and bactomatik (10g/4 liters only once) and 2ml/l of B-52 from advanced nutrients. I transplanted the seedlings and let them be. I have the ligh at 50 cms from the plants. Yesterday morning i found one of them "laying down". I used a tongue depressor and some soil to get her straight. I'm adding a fem pics of them right now. I would like to read your advice to try and make it a successful grow.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that AN's B-52 isn't intended for seedlings. That might be part (if not all) of the problem.

Thanks. I'm using it because at the growshop they told me it would be beneficial, it would protect the plants against stress. Especially since i'm a beginner, more prone to do things wrong. Should i try to flush or that would be worse? And can you see any more problems?

 

[OttoCBD]

They're correct in that it'll help protect a plant against stress but I think they should have mentioned (or at least known) that the product that they were suggesting was made for plants that have been established in the veg stage. I can't really answer if flushing is the best idea. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. I'm not sure if it's the camera angle or not but it looks like you could have put a lot more soil in those containers.

Transplanting autos is touch and go as they are on a time clock, unlike photos and don't have much time to recover. Some do it with excellent results. Planting the germinated seed in the large pot from the start is the simple and safe method.

You don't say what your grow medium is. What i see in many grow journals is not feeding for the first two weeks or so, then starting out at a quarter or so of the recommended amount. Careful with the watering too. Don't drown those young ones.

Good luck on your grow !

I'm using the light mix of biobizz.
Thanks for the reply

If you haven't done so already, you might want to study a site like growweedeasy.com. Also, when it comes to nutrients and feeding schedules it doesn't get any easier than this one here. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/tangs-easy-auto-feeding-schedule.47290/

heya @Django_TO and to afn! if ur in soil, then kyote is right, in that seedlingz don't need any nutez for the first couple weekz...and for the first few dayz, all they need for water is a light soil-misting...after that, an oz or so of water, but make sure u water in a ring, away from the stem, so that the lil rootz are forced to find the water on their own, and thus, grow also, the picz don't show, but do u have a general air circ fan blowin in the tent-? constant airflow is important & helpz strengthen the stemz great commune here to help ya get dialed in & anything else u need, jus give a holler

I’d agree with everyone here. I use the an line with coco and I give just a bit of voodoo juice for the first few days after sprout and than I start to slowly increase rates and add base and other supplement after the second or third set of leaves
