New to growing cannabis

[semo63936]

Beginner at growing cannabis and needing a good support group. Autos seem to be the best bet for my situation and I would gladly take all the tips and tricks that you guys throw my way.

This is where I stand with my white widows.

I plan on using 70/30 coco perlite. These are seeded in rapid rooters, just hoping to get them past this stage. Nervous about the seedling stage, seems to be the most crucial part of growing anything for me. When to water, too much water, nutes or no nutes, etc. Wish me luck.

Hi , would have been a good idea to start with your mix first, for the seedlings they need an open medium to grow.
I've done similar but I also added some Guano to the mix 1 tablespoon per 8ltr pot , working a treat .
No nutes yet, just make sure you pH your water.
Here is some info for you.
Weeks 1 - 3. Once you've started your seeds and they break the surface of the soil, they are in their seedling stage. The first set of leaves to appear will usually single fingered, followed by a second set that may still be single fingered or perhaps 3 fingered. Once that second set appears growth will start to accelerate as the new leaves provide more photosynthesis. This process will continue, more new leaves, faster growth. Depending on the type of soil in use, mild vegetative nutes can be introduced at week 2.

And this may give you some info on ya water.
When feeding your plants you will need to ensure that
Your water is ready
The plant is healthy
The plants have the correct environment i.e. soil ph is between 6.5 and 6.8

All the water you use to feed your plants should be allowed to sit for at least 12hrs before use. Tap water comes loaded with chlorine and this evaporates while the water sits and makes it better for your plants.

If you want to see explosive growth then you will also need to bubble your water. To do this just use an aquarium air pump and air stone. You place the stone in the water and allow bubbles to pas through it. The water should be bubbled for at least 12 hrs.

By bubbling the water you allow oxygen to be dissolved in the water which is highly beneficial for the roots.

Mine are just starting to flower, I'm growing RoyalDwarf Auto X 3 this is my first grow, and so pleased with the results so far,
I never watered until the pot was light, I'm still using that principal today,

Oh and most importantly keep a log, I know it sounds boring as fuck but , it comes in useful so you can see the progression, and what nutes you've added

Coco/perlite, good choice. My recommendation would be to stay away fro "amending" the coco with soil ingredients. Coco will perform best if run as intended, like hydro....

So, feed every time, and you can't overwater in coco.... well I guess you could if you left it submerged. When I run coco, I feed every 24 hrs till there is runoff. Once in flower that moves to every 12 hrs. There is no nutrition value in coco, only what you put in.
There are some who get away with mixing grow styles, soil and coco, but if you look in the infirmary, you'll see it seems to be there a lot. It also makes it easier for those of us that have grown a while and separate coco & soil. I can give you answers to problems for either, but not combined. Your resources for issues drops considerably.

PH 5.8 to 6.2, cal/mg as well, canna can be mg hungry, and in coco more so.
