Thanks, rebelroy.
The house is under construction :Stones slap: so all the scraps found a good home. Geez, now I gotta get a bigger fan :

Nice DIY grow space bro....I think your plants will love it..:thumbs:

Thanks, boogieman. All the great info and help here is making this first grow far less terrifying! :hug:

Based on rebelroys good advise, I'll be adding cfls this weekend, with some duct work to manage heat.
A silly question on feeding the girls: according to the Easy Dirt Guide, the first week of 3 true leaves calls for 1 tsp of fish emulsion... I can't find whether that is a one time dose for the week, or given with every watering?
Thanks!

Welcome to AFNlogo bro from da Swamp and are you Needing advice on Fish Emulsion

I use the Alaska Fish Emulsion 5-1-1
I water with it at small doses every week
Even dilute it and useit as a Foliar first few weeks
Kinda stinks but they LOVE it!!!

Ask away if ya need any help !!!

:Stones slap:**groooooaaannn**... LMAO!!... got some crackers for that cheeezz?! Hmm, I've not seen WG's guide, but he's a fantastic grower! It depends on how nutrient loaded this soil is,... auto's must have it mild at first, as they stunt/burn rather easily... nice thing about fish goo (Swampy's technical term!) is that it's mild... better still, foliar feeding at 1/4 strength is a safe bet too, as you're keeping the nute' soln. away from the roots; they get cooked, the whole plant stunts and shocks out,... foliar is much less likely to do this, especially at low conc.'s,.... Grow More makes an equivalent fish goo, 5-1-1, but has had some stank tuned out of it! ... lots of good micro'nutes in the goo too,... also, worm-poop teas are a great choice...Swamp can really help you with that, as he's quite skilled now with this method!... I'm late to the game on this, but I found a local source of horse poop worm compost to make tea with, and top-dress,... it calls for 1 cup of compost /1gal water, let sit for a day or two,... a little molasses or even honey (say ,2 tsp/gal), mixed in will give the microbes a big juice boost to multiply! tea's carry mild nutes as well as the beneficial bacteria to the soil; a well established 'herd' down there will be a huge benefit to your plant! - say the roots! Look it up here or elsewhere get specifics...

I tend to overthink... :no:
Girls are looking good, I believe, no signs of salt burn or chlorosis.
They seem to be booming, soil is good til tomorrow ( I like to keep drier soil, is this a good thing with autos?). Think I'll feed 1/2 dose of the Alaska fish with their next water.
Fast haze is healthy, I think, but lagging. If it's an 80 day auto, this may be on track.
N lights to left, Fast haze center, Sour Diesel right. :Holy Moly:
Nobodies died yet!!! :beast:

You ain't kidding, swampman, it got da odor!
What ratio do you use for foliar?
And gotta ask, what part of the swamp you from?

 

[Renaissance Redneck]

waira, roots is it! (I even gave a 1/2 shot of molasses on Sunday to boost the beneficial's.
I have some background in soil science, autos scare me because there seems to be a very fine balance between root growth and veg. I always tended to make a plant "suffer" to establish a sound root base, but apparently autos are prima-donas, and they don't wait for anyone.
I will try to mimic your juice for root health; is the foliar what you recommend for the NPK, with micros going to the roots during watering?
Thanks for all the great input! Do you "bubble" you're water?
