Scrumpdilly's First Time Grow - AK48 & White Widow Autoflower

[scrumpdilly]

Well I was hoping to be asleep before the lights came on but that's less than 45 minutes from now. Maybe if I try reeeeal hard. .

Maybe she just needed a little root development time. Bender (white widow) is showing just a tad more of her third leaves. Here they are 12 days from seed and looking healthy

They look happy to me

It's hard not to stress out about seedlings, they're so small and delicate in the beginning.

 

[NaturalSpirit]

Give them Some time. They look happy and standing good I think. As long as you dont overwater it...like i Did .

 

[scrumpdilly]

Just gave the girls a little lst. Nothing drastic, just gave the first two sets of leaves a little bend down so I could 1. Get some more light to the new leaves 2. Strengthen stems and 3. Promote upward growth. I very gently pushed the tips of the leaves down to the soil with my thumb and forefinger. Anyway almost time to drop the wife off at work. I have the day off so I'm gonna sleep while all the ladies work hard haha.

I'm pretty much doing this for my own benefit, but I'll probably post a pic of both girls each day. Was hot as crap today so it didn't go below 81°F in the tent. They seemed to like it though! I also think it's funny that the WW leaves are so much bigger than the AK, but I guess that's phenos for ya. Top pic is AK, bottom is white widow

Hey I'm growing autos and did a lot of research and for autos they say you should start in the pot you're finishing in best autos don't respond well to being transplanted while I'm no expert just thought I'll share the knowledge I found with you I'm also planting 2 autos special Kush #1, and Auto Super OG Kush

 

[Infested Herb]

Subbed, Im also going to grow 4-6 auto's in a few weeks and i think you are doing fine! I've grown 6 auto's once before and i had a very hot soil. Worst mistake, they were stunted and were very small plants. Anyways, I'm excited and looking forward to see them grow!

 

[Apexsmoker420]

Nice grow I’m rolling something up and gonna follow along.

I also have white widow in dirt 14 of them!!

 

[scrumpdilly]

Any idea what these streaks and spots are?

Potentially super early cal mag deficiency, forgive me for not looking before asking, are you feeding cal mag at All? Do you know your ppm in your water?

 

[NaturalSpirit]

The stripes make me think it Could be a bug? Not Sure I am kinda new just suggesting.

No cal mag and I have no idea about ppm. Just using distilled water.

It's always good to be checking under your leaves and stems daily .

Will do when I get home

I'd also suggest grabbing a tds meter off of Amazon, you can get them as cheap as 20 bucks, and it'll really help you understand what your plants are doing-what they need, if they are eating etc. Really good for helping with nutrient concentrations down the road!

Your r.o. water should be pretty low ppm so you might want to consider a little cal mag, maybe 3mL per g to start and see if that helps. How old are they? Might be time to start feeding a bit

14 days from seed.

 

[bignstrange]

It's time good sir .

 

[bignstrange]

Not familiar with your soils so id be cautious about adding npk go real easy at first most people go 1/4 strength but cal mag is good. Plants under led like more cal mag and silica!

Ordered the cal mag so that should be here in a couple days. I'm using FFOF. Soil is no longer damp so I'll start 1/4 strength nutes tonight. I'll finish updating after watering

 

[bignstrange]

Sounds good! I'm sure they'll enjoy the cal mag. I just did a quick read on the ffof soil and I see it's a bit of a hot soil, I know you cut it with potting soil, but id still be cautious with nutes
