Live Stoner Chat Introducing myself

[Frank Rizzo]

I came on a few days ago after searching forums to help with my first grow. I was such a newb that I even ordered my autos by accident, I thought I was ordering photos. I had no idea about anything. Now I'm 11 days in to my grow and I've learned so much from just a few people with one post. I love you guys I just wish I found this site sooner as I may have overwatered and stunted the growth on two of my youngins. So much information though! You guys rock and thank you for being here.

Some pics of the girls (currently two blue dream and one amnesia haze).
The Blue Dreams are 11 days in and the Amnesia is 6

Well, first off, don't panic, they're looking healthy enough.
At this stage, they can take a wet medium, but don't water them anymore, let the medium dry a little first.

You may have done yourself a favour ... are you growing outdoors or under lights?
Both can benefit an auto, if you follow the directions on the tin.
Under lights autos can enjoy 18 - 24 hours of light a day during flower, compared to only 12 hours for their photo counterparts.
That means buds like you wouldn't believe.

Good luck dude, you'll be fine.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm under 600w HID MH right now and will change over to HPS when they start to flower. I have a moisture meter now and won't be watering these until I'm near dry for a reading. I get nervous because I saw someone else's grow journal on day 15 and they have like double the size

That's because they've been doing it a while.
Getting a plant 'hard-on' is good enough, don't try to be John Holmes just yet ..!
