Ok well here we go ill fill in more details later but for now here are some pictures its been above ground for about a week and a half now

if the pics are crooked its the best I can do for now

Very nice man!
My girls just popped their heads above ground today, so we'll be going through the paces together

 

[Xbones]

Aw they so cute at this time till they become monsters haha

 

[Antics]

Subbed. I'm looking forward to seeing how well you do with these indoors

Thanks everyone, I'll probably post updates weekly on what I'm doing how the plants are doing and some pics hopefully, so far so good trying to study the art of LST I have 2 autos going 1 a week behind the other,

I'm not sure if I want to LST both to see what the difference is just for learning purposes when should I start LST on them? Nodes are the spaces between sets of leaves right? Lol it's 4th set of leaves are just starting to come in,

I am just using the LED primarily I have a regular light buld or 2 going in the room for heat and a fan lightly blowing on them, both are in 3 1/2 gallon pots as I've read that anything over that is kind of useless due to being an auto its root mass wind need any larger of a pot.

looking good man, can't wait to see more from ya!

LST basically makes all bud sites equal in height, giving them all equal light.

Letting one plant grow normal, and one LST'd will focus your light on the top 12-18" of the tall plant, and the rest of that plant, and the LST'd plant receive less light, so I don't recommend this technique. LST them both IMO.

Thanks antics for that tip I should have known that,

When is a good time to start nutes? I've read not to feed until you have 3, 3 leaf sets or for 20 days...

 

[jinn]

Go by what your girls are telling you. Generally week 2 is a good time to start feeding. If you wait until week 3 you may see deficiencies starting to pop up. That being said, if you've got a girl that is growing like the hulk, youll need to feed sooner, if youve got one thats the runt of the litter, you may not need to feed as soon.

 

[butters6906]

Ok. Are those 1 leaf sets supposed to fall of over time

Ok. Are those 1 leaf sets supposed to fall of over time

Do you mean the seed leaves? Or the serrated adult leaves?

The seed leaves fall off after a couple weeks or so, the other leaves should stay on until flower, in a perfect world without problems and deficiencies.

 

[butters6906]

Alright guys I'm having and issue. The first set of serated leaves are dying from the tip in, it's not bite burn I don't think I get pics up later, any idea what it could be, there not turning yellow there just going to a dull green then to brown,

Soil is .10-.05-.05 NPK just got them in that soil a couple days ago as the soil before had no nutes in it, so could that be from lack of nutes??

 

[jinn]

I doubt it is lack of nutrients, seeing as you're growing in soil, and they're still pretty young, and not yellowing.
When you get pictures up, itll help us make an informed guess.

 

[Antics]

Any pictures of the problems?

 

[butters6906]

No I ended up pulling those leaves off...

But I will have pictures up tomorrow, they are both doing great no problems at all now so that's awesome

 

[butters6906]

So here are the pics, 2 are of just before the lights came on and the others are from just now

 

[butters6906]

And I know there autos, but I have 2 seeds I got from someone that was in my medicine so I planted them the just popped up a couple days ago so I turned the light to 12/12 since the autos are going to start flowering soon I assume... Since its been a month since germinatiom

And does topping really stunt growth? I want to top them but don't want to ruin the crop just rather have a bush

topping will stunt growth, however microtopping, and fimming can be done with no ill effects.
And running them at 12/12 is going to increase their yield, but increase time in flower.
Looking good though man, can't wait to see and hear more from you!
you burn through your outdoor harvest yet?

What do you mean it will make the flowering time longer??
