Okay hello ladies and gentlemen, wonderful forum you have here. I'm in the process of my first autoflower grow, and I'm looking for any advice or comments that could help me out. With my setup its pretty much basic, dresser made into a grow box. I purchased two Auto Somango seeds from Attitude and they went into soil mayybe three weeks ago give or take a few days. I work more than full time so I cant spend the time I wish I could screwin around. Basic potting soil, basic plant food, basic cfls with a couple basic leds if you catch my drift ha. As of tonight I'm going to be doubling the light as I'm sure it's not up to par. Any comments or advice would be great. They look healthy but small...

Hey and welcome!
Ya, more light would be a good thing. They do look healthy too. They don't need much time, just a few things at the right times!
Peace and happy growing.
:karma Cloud:
 
Okay thats good to hear thanks wwwillie. Any insight to what these "right things at the right times" would be? I've been an avid smoker forever just learning this end still eh
 
:welcome: & nice stealth cab.

Probably the best thing as a new grower is to NOT have a ton of time to spend with your plants. They want to grow, and they'll do that best when we get out of their way!

Your girls are looking great. See how they are bending towards the light. That is a tale tale sign that there is not enough light. To maximize your yield I recommend over doubling the light you have in there now as long as it doesn't get to hot. Have a few spaced out evenly on the sides and it will help make the plant bushy instead of tall. Best of luck with the grow!
 
Thanks guys! Yes I assumed my light situation was slackin a lil. Ill throw some more in and around the dresser, my intake and exhaust move more air than is ideal and its a little cool so more bulbs might help with that as well.
 
Nothing special, just the routine chores that need attending too. Watering and feeding, especially watering, the timing and amount can help or hinder. I learned this from overwater, both amount and frequency!
Peace.

Okay a couple more things...these are females correct? From research ive done they seem to me to be anyways. Also, ive started some gentle lst and seems to be going well. Any pointers? And lastly up to this point ive had them under 24 hour light, should that be changed? Thank you again for your time and responses.
 
Just picked up some Alaska Morbloom. Anyone had experience with this product?
