Indie Grower's First Ever Grow In Closet: White Widow Auto In Regular Garden Soil, 50W LED Bulb, Advice Always Appreciated

[Emilya Green]

And what should be the ideal lighting schedule for her right now?

most auto growers go with 18/6, so as to get maximum light with a little bit of a rest period. I am sure again that others will have differing opinions, but this seems to be the most prominent opinion from what I have gathered.

Wh


What should I feed her now? Growth or Bloom?

bloom, definitely

 

[Mikesem420]

Give them both some 1/4 strength bloom like a ff big bloom and a 1/4 grow nute and get some botanicare calmag they def look hangry lol

 

[Emilya Green]

look at that yellow... 1/4 strength makes no logical sense... they are hungry and needing nutrients now. Full strength... and if and only if we see burning, then back down. Right now, get that yellow in check... you are playing catchup now and can't be timid.

 

[Mikesem420]

Just somewhere to start but your right they do look pretty yellow...

I have been doing 20/4 until now. Maybe I should help her to get more resting time.

I gave her a drink recently and her pot is still not dry. Looking at her current need, should I top her with nutes?

 

[Emilya Green]

I actually see the most growth during this "resting" time. I honestly don't know which is really better though, someone should do a side by side

 

[Emilya Green]

Always treat the most pressing need... right now I think she needs nutrients in there, and then once that is in there working, let her dry out properly.

I will still go with 18/6 now. Makes so much sense, when I put myself in the picture, resting cures!

Should I feed her till saturation?

 

[Emilya Green]

yes, always create a full container of water... this is the only standard you have to go on as far as being able to see the duration of the wet/dry cycle.

Have you seen this yet? How much water does soil hold?

Last thing, should I add growth nutrients too or just the bloom

 

[AngryBird]

bloom, definitely

And like she said 18/6 light.
It makes more sense, she might need the extra rest.
Don't panic, you got this

I won't freak out till the time I have you guys!

I gave her a combination of Banana Water + full strength Bloom Nutes + Calcium phosphate + Molasses. For growth I topped the soil with some organic growth booster before I gave her above formula.
