Hey y'all, can anyone feed me autoflower deets!

[Crazy Miss Hyde]

Hey, I'm CMH, I just started cultivating for personal medical use and I have had these lil chimpglue autos going from seed for about 21 days , 19 in soil. I have 3 lol babes and they're looking healthy just a bit stunted, although I only have about 2 1400 lumen /15 watt GLS LED globes running currently in 24 hr light. It's pretty darn humid here at the moment aswell. I give them about a 250-400 ml of water every 2 days or so depending on the humidity. No nutes yet but I have been waiting to pick up 2 new massive CFL lights. I'm just wondering if anyone has any juice for me to spruce these babies up a bit, one is doing a lot better than the other two and I'm also wondering what the go is with that too ? Thanks for any help ! Much love Stay lifted!

Welcome Crazy, are you in soil and if so what type of soil?

Welcome Crazy, are you in soil and if so what type of soil?

Thanks alot, yeah 19 days in now and I'm using this stuff mixed 70-30 with perlite

If it has fertilizer already in it then you can just water.

I am but after 3 weeks in soil I feel like it seems pretty stunted I know the lighting isnt sensational but it should have enough to keep them at a healthy growing rate until I pick up the bigger cfls. Do you have any idea why they're lacking density and the Growth rate is so out of whack ?

 

[Pennywise]

You don’t have much light on them, it’ll probably keep them alive but it’s not enough for them to thrive.

Sweet okay ! I knew the light wasnt great but I was hoping that there may have been something I could do sooner as I cant grab the lights for another week. Will this much time under this light effect the yield alot or will it catch up once I put the new lights in ? Thanks heaps by the way guys

 

[Pennywise]

If they’re photo plants you can veg them longer to increase yield. If autos they won’t fully recover.

 

[Crazy Miss Hyde]

Even after only 19 days? Bugger. Okay thanks alot. Stay lifted

Autos are on a genetic timeline, they only have so much time before they flower automatically.

Hello , if you plan on continuing to grow plants I wouldn't waste my money on new cfl`s and I would invest that money on a hid or a led to give the best results , light is probably the most important part of growing good quality and size plants imho. And it depends on the size (height ) of the grow space you are using as to the type of light to get and do you have any kind of ventilation to remove the heat generated .

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I concur

A good light is worth the investment

You can get a Mars or Viperspectra in the USA for right around $100, and will be fine for one or two plants in a 2x2 area

Then it's just learning and learning and learning

I agree, a good led or hps is necessary
