First grow, Thoughts and advice

Blog entry Discussion
Pictures of my plants from today 6/11 and its been24 days since sprouted. I'm a bit concerned I feel like a few of them are kinda small for 24day old auto's. Today is the first day that I gave nutrients I used the fox farm nutrient chart and gave a little less than half what it said of grow big and big bloom made sure the ph was around 6 but for the first 17 days of plain water it was like 7.5 to 8 bcus I wasn't checking on it at first o,0 could that be the reason for being small did I stunt their growth!? also I didn't do nutrients until today bcus I figured the foxfarm ocean floor media would get them fed for a bit but with a few being kinda small I'm hoping it might help and hopefully I didn't over do it I will be checking those leaf's thoroughly. Thoughts, concerns, advice?

They look really healthy. So I've never used FF nutes, but I never understand people saying they don't feed for the first 3/4 weeks. I start to feed my girls after the first week of growth. If I was you I'd start feeding them & they will really start to grow. Also, are you using anything to grow their roots? If so, you should of been feeding that literally after they break soil.
But all that's just my opinion. Again though, they look really good.

Most of them are doing pretty nice just 3 or 4 are looking very very small for the age maybe just a meh seed? aand like you said with nutes they are around 3 weeks now so I'm just starting nutes for them at half strength. from what ive read on here big growth is weekish 3 to 5 right? so ill stay posted on here. the roots i was a bit late reading up on that like cal mag an stuff just gonna let it be what it is now iguess and do that for my next grow live n learn! one of my bigger regrets for a first grow for sure! but thanks man honestly I didn't expect so many to make it through! :cooldance:

I'd still get some root stimulator if you can, their roots continue to grow and that's where all the plants strength lies, it would definitely help them all out, get them as strong as possible before flowering. Other than that I agree they look healthy and the larger ones spot on size wise at this stage. Good luck :goodluck:

IMO I'd start feeding them full strength nutes. 100% agree with Pearl-Anne, get a root booster like BioBizz Root Juice or there are lots of other organic boosters & dont skimp on it. Root Juice for eg can be used at a dosage of up to 4ml a litre with every feed. I'd give them that dosage. But get food into them ASAP!
Btw what strain/s are you growing?

I got a whole bunch of strains goin on! for the autoflowers its Pineapple express, durban poison, gorrila glue, critical purp and some bubble gum also just got a few more seeds from nasc blueberry and trainwreck :weed:

the photoperiods are Bruce banner, bubba kush, kali mist, strawberry cough, great white shark and lemon kush! I may have went a bit nuts for a 1st grow :help:

Shhhh!! If you mention the word "photo period/s" on this Auto's only site, it's an instant ban :lol:
Just a thought, maybe get a PK booster in case you need it during flowering. They use huge amounts of it & some strains want more than others. Although they're also great for hardening buds.
