Royal queen northern lights autoflower advice needed

[Irish Automan]

hey everyone. im new to this site.
im growing 5 autoflower which on day 22 they started showing me there female so that's a good sign.. when the seeds were germinated I had a bit of bother with my location so had to change place and had them outside. I live in Ireland n weather can be shitty lol. but any how when I finally got back up n running again bare in mind this is a indoor grow. my plants look really small have no pictures as of now but will post some soon. I gave them dutch pro soil mix a and b and some dutch pro take root as I was told to do that by my local hydro store. they just look really small as in no more that 8 inches
my set up is
5x5x7 grow tent
400watt hps
carbon filter
inline fan ect..
my ph is at 6.3 to 6.5
im using grow wise with john inns soil with perlite
. This is my first grow so any help mucho appreciated

My autos were only 10-12inch I wouldn't worry to much some people do really well with auto yields but others don't. 400whps should be fine for flowering but 5plants may be to many I'm not sure 2or3 may have been better but good luck get some pics up

Re: Royal queen northern lights autoflower advise needed

I'm not a 100% just a theory lol I've also heard good things about led's. It may be worth investing. I got told my plants may have been stressed somewhere along the line witch stunted ther growth cuz they were small but Switching your light may help only 1 way to find out
I'm not the most experienced this is just my thoughts

Switching from HPS to L.E.D. will not be an issue if you decide to go that root. We have lots of great sponsors selling L.E.D. fixtures there is a link in my sig for sponsors check it out.

Good luck.

P.S. There are also a few L.E.D. fixture sponsored grows in the forums section, if you are going to buy an L.E.D. I would recommend reading through a few of those journals.

It looks like it might be a bit of nutrient burn. You might want to just give it pure ph'd water for the next few feelings or give them a flush

 

[Irish Automan]

should i nip off the leafs that have gone bad or keep them on?, i gave them ph'd water today with superthrive aded as i was told superthrive will work for stressed plants??

 

[Blueballavngr]

My experience with nl has been short and bushy that do best as Christmas trees or scrog methods due to its short length between nodes and very large fan leaves

 

[GaBoy420]

I would go ahead and remove them because they won't recover and as long as they're still attached, the plant is wasting energy on them. Growth should speed back up after you remove them, and yes, SuperThrive is good for damaged/shocked plants. Just make sure you don't over do it.
