New Grower Kat's first time

[SlinkyKat]

Hi all!! I'm hoping that I did everthing right, and hope that I can attach the pics properly.

Yay!!! Tell me how she looks, please. Any critique's are welcome!!! She's an Auto Biodiesel Mass and is on day 8 of her short life. I haven't used any nutes yet and she gets watered about every 4 days with ph balanced water. I have her under 2 65 watt, 6500 k, 4000 lumen bulbs right now. The temp is steady at 77 F. I open the windows for air exchange about 1/2 hr. daily (unless it's too cold ie. below 60 F outside). The lights are hooded and she definitely gets a really good amount of it. I think I need more perlite in the soil mix (Black Gold Organic). I did have a very bad Fungus Gnat problem (they came with the soil ), but have managed to kill them off (I'm hoping anyway). She has a small fan running on low as long as the lights are on. I am trying to run it as if it were outside, so, the lights are 16-8 on a timer and so is the fan. I know that most auto growers think that 18-6 is best, but I want to keep it as natural as I can. First timer, what a rush!!!

Hi SlinkyKat and Welcome!!
They look well nice, growing strong. looking healthy.
Sounds like you got a good system going on.
I like the sound of the 16/8 schedule, been hearing good things about that schedule recently, have tried other schedules myself but never that one.
Will do next grow i think.
Anyhoo fantastic grow! Looking forward to seeing your results.
Green Growing Karma Heading ya way!

Welcome to the forum.So far so good.If you need any help just let us know.

 

[SlinkyKat]

WOW!!! Thanks a lot!!! I was posting elsewhere (nameless GC forum ) and never got half the response that I have already received here!!! I'm thrilled that I found you all. (Thanks to Muddy's guidelines) I will try to keep you updated and will certainly ask if I'm unsure of ANYTHING!!! Here is my outline for nutes: 2weeks 1/4 tsp miracle gro 20-20-20, 1/4 tsp unsulfered molasses, 1/8 cup weak chamomile tea to a 2 liter bottle of ph balanced water for veg. Is that OK? I can't afford to order nutes online, otherwise I wouldn't have choosen what I did (can get it were I live).

Was my absolute pleasure, yeah other 'sites' arnt as cool or as friendly or as up-to-date as we are here, :smokebuds:
Yeah that sounds well cool. Spoil them rotten! Chamomile tea?... they get better then i do! lol
Definately keep us posted!

Happy Growing!
:smoke:

Well, NemesisOne, she' my baby and needs all the love I can give. Chamomile tea (weak solution) is supposed to be good for overall health of the plant and (not sure but what the heck) supposed to promote healthy root growth. I save my tea bags ( I drink a cup of it every night ) and will make her a weak solution to add to the nute mix. I know it can't hurt and if it helps, all the better. Thanks again to all who welcomed me and my little girl!!!! (I told her, but she just shrugged her leaves ) May all your buds be tight and fat!!!

I got by with some miracle gro for awhile and did ok(not great) There are a few ebayers that sell fox farms trio in smaller bottles 2-4 ounces will last a long time for small grows

good luck
