I was wondering if I stunted my plants’ growth by having my lights at max intensity right off the bat. I also didn’t have vpd dialed in til 2nd week. Organic soil.My pulse one has said 96 light intensity since I got it..should I be lowering the intensity of bulbs til flower?
To meshe looks fine and 76 cm from canopy is agood distancce for seedlings.if she grows to bushy or with to short internodes due genetics, just dimm the light to 75 percent and you will see abig difference.

Hello all! Quick question..I planted my seeds in coast of Maine stonington blend organic soil.I also bought the fox farm trio big bloom, tiger bloom and grow big. Am I able to add these nutrients to the soil without over feeding the plants and when should I use them?
Based on the ingredients in the stonington blend it seems like you can get away with just plain watering until these autoflowers kick into their blooms cycle.
Autos prefer a light feed in the beginning. The soil you’re using should have enough food in it to get you past the vegetative period. Once you get into the bloom cycle you can start to feed your girls the Fox Farm bloom nutrients at 1/4-1/2 strength. If you have a ppm/ec pen try to keep it around 350-700ppm for your very first feed. I’ve learned over a long time you can always add more if you start light but if you go heavy you can’t reverse that easily and with autos you risk stunting them with something too strong at first.
So is it normal for the girls to really crank up the funk over-night? I have a couple plants that went from low smell to extreme skunk literally overnight! It even gets past my carbon filter I can very faintly smell it in my exhaust ducting but not enough to worry about! LOL
There is definitely a point in the plants flowering stage where it amps up on trichome and essential oil production, dependent on strain this can happen anywhere from Mid flower to the very last week. Some strains STINK. some never get that smelly when growing and some take a dry or a good cure to bring it out
yup buds can ripen super fast sometimes but its just one of the signs she is getting close to harvest but not quite yet my friend your doing a great job keep up the great work. Happy growing 👊
this is ashort and stock genetic as it looks like, you describe her as sturdy?..... and one inch is short yes but ok...
for longer internodes just dimm the light.
happy growing
