First grow sprouted on the 15 Oct

[Oldhippie59]

Hello first time growing , I planted 2 white widow, 1 cheese and 1 lambs breath auto flowers. I use a 300 watt led And a 32x32x70 grow tent. The temp in the tent is 78 to 87 I have watered them twice so far.

soil-cheap organic bought at Lowe’s
Nutriants-Fox Farms trio pack ( haven’t used yet)
what do you guys think any advice?

Ahh my eyes...I can’t see - its so blurple!!

Messing with you cuz I know BeanTown already covered the blurple pics!

Just learning hope they make it.

cool, everyone here wants you to succeed. Go easy on water, soil looks wet - more seedlings die from 2 causes... 1 is overwatering 2 is watering too often... they are different things but both lead to condition called damping off where seedling just craps its pants and dies. The roots can’t breathe in wet soil...

as always - consider other opinions

I think they look fine! Pictures should be taken in natural light as @013 stated. I have a couple sprouted in the same day actually. Not autos though. Feel free to stop by my journal anytime you like. It’s in my signature at the bottom of my post. I’d hold off on the nutrients for another week or 2 though. Other than that we’re all here to help. Welcome friend

New pics without the blurple light on. One of them looks a little droopy/wilted.

Day 12 of the grow.
The 2 white widow seem to be doing ok
The Cream is kinda funny looking but healthy
The Lambs breath is stunted and doesn’t look very healthy ( had the seed stuck on his head for 3 days)
I gave the 2 white widow some nutrients today ( Fox Farms liquid plant food Big Bloom) not much hardly any mixed in I got paranoid about burning the.

This is the cheap soil I used on my first grow. Next time something better.

This young lady (white widow) is looking good at 16 days!

 

[Oldhippie59]

21 days

Getting a little yellowing on the tips of new growth, hope it’s nothing. I watered them last on the 3rd and at that time I used Fox Farms Big bloom and Grow big 1/4 of the recommended dosage. The water is spring water ph is 6.0. Any help would be appreciated

What I have learned on 420
soil was cheap organic from Lowe’s /mistake
mixed in perlite but it was MG brand and had fertilizer mixed in it / mistake
used crappy pots/mistake
watered to much /mistake

Looks really amazing right now, little bit of tip burn from soil, perlite or nutes...whatevs. Ok next time maybe do plain water no nutes. those tips will stay brown but that’s perfectly fine. Try to wait for watering til Sunday or Monday, watch for slight wilt and then maybe wait 1/2 a day or 1 more day before watering again. Learn to tease or extend that wet dry cycle in veg, keep her moist in flower

Gotta roll but will be back later, as always - see what else comes in

 

[Oldhippie59]

Ok thanks Will do. I really appreciate the help!

Some growers do feed, feed, water - others go feed, water, feed, water. the fwfw strategy feeds the plants then the second application of plain water activates any left over nutes in the soil.

Watch the plants for cues

And some go feed, feed, feed, feed. Lol.
