Heraldo's Auto Mango Cream Microgrow

[Heraldo]

Not much to report at the moment.
I'm growing 1 mango cream autoflower in soil with CFLs.
I'll be feeding BAC organic nutrients.
She just broke soil. Nothing pic worthy for now.

Returning the sub mate. Mango cream sounds delish. Keen to see how ya go!

It's alive!

Day 4
Mango cream is making slow progress (I always seem to have trouble getting the light distance right at first).

That little pot next to her is an Afghan kush seed thats about to break soil. I germed them at the same time, but the afghan took forever to pop. I had kinda lost hope it would.
Anyway, one of them is going to be moved to another tent under LED once it all arrives. Probably the afghan.
I'm excited

Day 7 (2 for Afghan kush)

Things are starting to look good

Afghan kush was born yesterday and opened her (hopefully it's a her...) little pet shop of horrors mouth today.

Can't wait for the new equipment to arrive. Mango cream will be going under the LED. It would feel like a waste of electricity if I put the afghan in and it turns out male.

Day 9
Things might just be looking up for little old Heraldo.
Got my new tent set up and Mango cream is in there chilling, enjoying the new light. She took a bump in the process and I had to set up a little rod for her to lean on.

Afghan has the CFL all to herself.

They both got a light feeding of root stimulator this morning.

In other news, I just had a job interview at a local grow shop. Hopefully it's the end of my boring office job days.

Day 11
Decided to leave them both under the LED for now. They seem to be liking it.

hey mate, going to sub if you dont mind i love my afghan Kush one of my favourite strains like to see how your turns out! thumb up

Subbed

 

[Heraldo]

Welcome to you both. Hopefully the afghan makes it through. All my previous attempts at growing it ended tragically.

Day 14

Is it just me or are they growing slower than they should?

 

[Heraldo]

Day 17

And yet another update with barely noticeable change.

 

[Heraldo]

Day 18
Still moving things around trying to dial things in.

 

[Heraldo]

Day 19

Gave Mango cream a little sip of guano.

The afghan is just a little mutant mess.

I'm thinking about throwing a bunch of old auto seeds I have in little 8oz cups under the CFL. I'd be a bit of a waste but still more entertaing than having them sit forgotten in a drawer.

Day 22

Hard to tell from the pics but I suspect Mango cream has magnesium deficiency.

Afghan is making good progress. Starting to show normal growth.

 

[Tunkers]

Yeah dude would love to see them in a more natural light!

 

[Lemon Scent]

looking good! real slow at 1st so its just normal, your roots are still trying to find their feet, once that slows down, one day soon you should start to notice some real vigorous growth. poor Afghan fingers crossed for the little one <3
just my personal exp but i found starting in bigger pots seems to slow down the seedlings growth just a bit as them roots are really expanding, but people also say transplant shock, slows down growth too, so either or for me
having said all that i like to start them in the pot they will finish in.
all just a matter of preference i guess

 

[Heraldo]

Still day 22

Took some pics outside of the tent. I'm a bit less nervous, she doesn't look as bad as I thought. Gave them some cal/mag anyway. It might end up being one of those things where the solution makes things worse... We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Heraldo]

Turns out I've been overwatering and caused a fungus gnat infestation. It could be the wrong decision but I'm kicking these 2 to the curb and starting over. They're growing ridiculously slow and I feel like they're a waste of electricity and space at this point. We can consider this journal abandoned.

Stay tuned, I'm already planning a new grow. It should be more entertaining than this one.

 

[Tunkers]

Bummer mate. What will be the next lot of seeds?
