Camper2016's First Grow - Candy Cane Auto

[Canna Montana]

Hi camper. I'm a noob too but what I've read here is to keep the light as close as possible without burning them. You could probably go as close as 8-12 inches...? Hold your hand where the plants are and if it's too hot for your hand then it's too hot for the plants. Check them often and move light up as needed. I'll be watching and am interested in the auto's, might be my next grow.

This info is spot on. This is what we did before we got the light meter. Worked well for us! Great info Ween!

Pretty cool....every time I go check on them they look different. And swear they can smell water

Go easy with the water, it's amazing how little they drink at this age

 

[camper2016]

I was coming back to ask....cause the soil is showing some separation from the side of planter. The soil is still slightly damp even a little water in the planter dish underneath....

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Keep your dish empty, kids don't like to keeps there feet wet. After sprouting I can wait upto 10 days before I water again.

 

[camper2016]

WOW.....ok I will keep that in mind...kind of the opposite of my back yard garden that looks droopy every afternoon.

Well, your back yard garden is probably plants. You have to keep in mind, your girls are weeds. Weeds thrive when plants can't, like in dry situations. And Am4zin is right about the roots. They can get waterlogged and die from too much water. Have a good day!! .

It is pot size dependant of course I sprout my autos in there final pot. They went 8 days before 1st watering. My little monster takes water nearly everyday now.

Technically, a plant that one wants to grow where it is, is not a weed.

A weed is a plant that one doesn't want where it is.

Cannabis is indeed a plant that I want growing in my grow room.

OK....I have germed and planted in their one and only planter. I had read that autos do not like to be moved. So, I am super cool on water then and just gonna let them grow. Thank you.....for the advice, experience and common sense...I need all of it.

Ok, I'll agree to that, but watering mj is more like watering a cactus, than a veggie garden.

 

[camper2016]

Which goes against the grain in that I have my veggies growing right now.....so I do not want to love the mj to death...just goona check on them and the lights....they're growing
