Hello all I'm gonna keep this short I recently decided to try and grow my first auto and I got myself a few BF Pineapple Express autos and decided to pop one without really being fully ready perhaps anyway it sprouted on the 23rd I have pictures of it on the 27th and a few of it today the 2nd .my conditions are one BF auto under a T12 light with 2 1900 lum 3100k bulbs that I just had around the house. currently she is in a 3 gallon pot with ffof (was started in a jiffy peat pot). I have been watering the plant a 2 to 3 days not much water just enough to get get soil damp again, my water comes out of a brita filter attached to my sink then it sits out for 48 hours.current plant seems okay to my noob eyes except it seems really small and behind schedule trying to get pictures up of the two dates bare with my wile I figure it out as I'm on my phone and a little stoned
 
hey bro we need to know a few things more any idea what ph of water is? did you say jiffy cup? did you cut the bottom out of itthen put it in or put it in whole or transplant seedling ( i have stunted plants in jiffy cups and by transplanting)? pics would be good help as well what phone are you using if its an i phone i can help there as well
 
Pics

okay to clarify it was a little peet puck with the netting and I transplanted it the day I took the first pic.

First one:

second pics are five days later today
photo 2.jpgphoto 1.jpg

any hope
 
as far a ph goes im a little blind on that but i have read about others with britas with fresh filter having a ph of 6.8 and mine is bout 3 weeks old so still fairly new?

Ph tester coming soon hopefully
 
I just realized I left out other important info temps are usually 70-75 has dropped lower few times at night humidity is between 30-40%
 
I am not familiar with those peat pucks and netting I am wondering how hard it is for root to get thru it autos love to throw out lots of root at the start. The water should be ok at that ph some of the autos seemed to start slow then go like crazy I would say it's too early too tell. The color is good maybe she is putting all her effort into her root
 
Welcome to AFN Iceplant! Your baby looks great right now. Very nice color!

Yes, you will definitely want to get a Ph tester (digital meters are the most accurate), as soon as possible. Keeping your PH levels are very important to the success or failure of your grows.

It would also be best if you could start bumping up your temps some (79-81 F. works good for me). Also try to raise your humidity up some.

Please introduce your self in the Introductions section https://www.autoflower.org/f35/.
Let all the fine people here at AFN say hi to you, and know that you have started your grow journal.

Looking forward to watching your grow!

:peace:
 
Don't like peat cups but the peat pucks are cool. They work better than rapid rooters. Good luck with grow
 
Thanks for all the input everyone so today was a semi eventful day I woke up checked the baby she seemed fine and then left for a few hours, later when I came back she was drooping not bad but the enough to notice and so I watered and actually took a little wood stick very small one only a little larger then a toothpick for it to lean on. It's been a few hours she's pert back up nicely other then that no real changes little warmer today.
Okay time to get medicated and chill peace out.
 
Okay before I left for work I checked the baby and she seemed fine no noticeable growth over night so hopefully when I get home I will see some probably post a pic or two tonight let u all see what you think okay back to work
