All topped. Notice the runt in the back. Did everything the same w all of them, that one just looks like crap. I'm gonna keep it for now, but that one might get pulled in another week or 2.

Also I have the temps under control, but can't raise the humidity to save my life. I must be the only guy in the world complaining about a bone dry basement!

Check your pH you want yellow with a hint of orange. 5.8. Your plants are clawing from ph nutrient lockout

Please message me I can help get you on track. You are just struggling with ph like most new growers do. The small plant probably just too longer to sprout. Treat them like pets not property you will get better end result if you love and nurture them to full maturation. Humidity is gonna be hard because cold basement. Boil water in a pot or kettle until your humidity is higher. Trust you will be more worried about too high as they get bigger. More leaves, more breathing, more water to survive.

Tap water has calcium and magnesium. If you want to use tap water prefill a reservoir with your water and a air pump the does atleast 2gal a minute or about 8l per minute. This will maximize oxigen in water and also gas off any harmful chlorines.

Unless your water has chloramine.

Question for the experts. I'm running 20/4 w my autos. I put my carbon filter and cool tube in last night, my temps are 68 on 57 off. Should I just run 24/0 since my dark period is cold? I have a space heater, but I'm hesitant to run it while I'm sleeping or at work for safety reasons

65 should be your off and 77 should be on. Just don't go above 80 or below 60 and you will be good. The plants will show purples from cold stress and burning and drooping from heat stress

 

[emptymaster]

I'm running 20/4 now and they are happier 24 hrs started causing deficiencies from constant growth. Being new I would stay with the 20/4. You are in good shape get your heat up and maintain constant humidity 55-68%

 

[finbad]

Cool thanks. I'll get the heat up

You are over watering and stressing them with climate issues

Today marks 5 weeks from when they popped out of the soil. Most of them are 16" or so. I have been doing LST and they seem to like it, it's starting to get a little crowded in here. Been using fox farm ferts and watering once every 6-7 days. They seem to like it. Just starting to show signs of female, seems a little slow for an auto from what I've read. They look a little funny now, that's cause I just tied some branches down.

Really filling the tent up. I think I did a decent job of lst on Half of them, they even even canopies w lots of tops. I wish I only grew 4 though, I'm out of Horizontal space at this point. One looks saggy, but it can't be over watering, I'm watering once every 7 days. I'm wondering if it's underwatered. Either way I'm happy with the size since they all just started showing signs of sex. I'm thinking to switch to bloom nutes this weekend to see if they start to really flower.

Also wish I had a 4x4 and a 1000 watt light. Things to think about next time

Officially 8 weeks since they popped up. I switched to 12/12 a few days ago since I don't think they are actually autos. All the plants have now developed a few pistils. Hope I made the right call to flip.

A few people mentioned that they should have already been flowering. Plants are about 2-2.5 feet tall now with lots of branches. Using bloom nutes as well. I welcome any feedback or criticism.

Well looks like they probably weren't autos. Been flowering for almost a month now. About 3.5-4 feet each. Here are a couple pics

I think I'm back on track w these girls!
