Grow Mediums MassMom's Ongoing AutocCob, AutoPot, AutoFlower Adventure :-)

What strength of nutes are you using for vegging? Is it full or half strength?

This has been my feed schedule so far:
Day 0: 2ml/L Voodoo Juice, 1ml/L B52 & 1ml/L Cal-Mag. Drop in germinated seeds.
Day 5 AFTER SPROUT: 2ml/L Voodoo Juice, 1ml/L B52, 1ml/L Cal-Mag & 0.5ml/L Sensi Grow A/B
Day 10: 2ml/L Voodoo Juice, 1ml/L B52, 1ml/L Cal-Mag & 1ml/L Sensi Grow A/B

I have them both under (1) 3500K AutoCob about 30" above them (Per @BigSm0).
Light is on 24x7. Tent temp a little low at 70 degrees, and humidity about 40.

Hi MassMom, happy Friday! Finally got journal going, please swing by. I just posted about my seedlings humidity process, maybe that could help for you? I'm at: https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...ots-autocobs-megacrop-fast-buds-lsd-25.69167/

I will, thanks hon!!

This was my GorillaOG baby day 10 from my last grow. Same coco, same nutes...only difference is I had (1) auto cob over each baby, and the tent temp was 75-79. Maybe I should turn on the other autocob for more light and maybe a little more heat?

Seems spot on for nutes, lights. It would be better to get RH up to 60% if you can. I find dialing in the temp and RH to a good VPD value makes a big difference in plant health. Leaves are a good shade of green, nice and thick etc. So run my tent at 60% RH and temp around 23C.

The girls do look a little small for 10 days but that could be the genetics. Or the environment, but that seems good. Possibly you might have over or under watered a few days in the 10 that might have slowed it down a bit. Its good to use that moisture probe and put it in different spots in the pot and different depths to get an accurate understanding. I usually do it at 4 points around a seedling and a few inches away from center. And then I push it down slowly and look at the moisture as it changes as you lower the tip. You want a nice average of basically right in the middle of the scale on the meter. When it gets just to the edge of red/dry that is when I water.

Thank you hon

I did use my green moisture/ph meter and it was registering in the upper dry section, so I watered. Its weird that the pot LOOKED wet, but the meter was reading rather dry.

I never know how to water these poor babies in big pots. How much? when? etc.
Hans does a prewater of over a liter then a liter like every 5 days. Some do a little water every day. I am always on edge watering the little ones.And THAT is why I love it once they are fully on the autopot res! ha ha.

One of my favorite grows I remember that I started the babies in solo cups...then transplanted in to autopots once roots were coming out the bottom of the cup. For some reason I feel I have better control over their watering and the situation when they are in the cups. Maybe it is just something I should dial in and do every grow.

I love starting in solo cups too. That meter and solo cups is great. Works so well its almost easy. One great thing about the Solo cups is after a couple of days you can start watering from the bottom of your cup by dunking it in water and that promotes good Tap Root growth downwards

Another nice thing about starting than Solo cups as you can measure the cup and how much it weighs dry and how much it weighs when it's perfectly moist and then you can not only use the meter but you can use a scale as a secondary check to see where you're at for moisture

YES, I just feel more in control of the little one when they are in a solo cup. Most folks would poo poo this method, but I think it is what works best for me. and that is what growing is all about, yes? also, I have a very hard time with humidity~ there is NONE in this house. I just checked my tent and since I turned off the vicks warm humidifier this morning the humidity is down to 30. It was up to 60, but I have no control other to plug or unplug it. darn thing is driving me crazy. GRRRRRRR. I will need more consistent cool mist in summer and warm mist in winter where the tent sits in this house. Soooooo i bought myself a little present. Its a cool AND warm humidifier in one, and you can program the amount of humidity you want in the tent to stay consistent.
It should help me out A LOT. Fill it up, set it to 60, and let it do its thing.

Nice humidifier. Got your turn out to be a good investment. If that thing has a filter you may want to consider using RO water in it if your TAP water's pretty hard
