First indoor grow of 3 autos in a home made cabinet with SuperGreenLabs ninja bundle. 6 small led panels. Controller, fan blower, a humidifier and a small fan aimed at the girls.
Growing in desert climate, inside now but outside once they smell. It will get hot here soon. Germinated 22 Jan I believe. In mid April it will be 30 I the afternoon with a humidity of 10%. So I got one grow of about 10 weeks, then again in October.
All seem to have developed okay, additional leaves show and i watered with an aloe vera and kelp tea powder to hopefully help growth along. I hope next week it will at least double in size again so I can LST and add other organic veg nutrients. Peace, out
I've been tinkering with the light. Had it too strong, so turning it down gradually. They feel a bit small. Right or wrong, I took one out the pot and planted it separate, that's the lemon AK, leafs look a bit yellow. Not sure about watering....do I give too much, too little? Added some kelp and aloe vera to the water
What could cause them to stay small and grow slow. I can think of the below anything else to consider:
1. soil is 40% ordinary potting soil, 30% coco coir and 30% light.
2. light. 1st week was under TL, didn't have grow light yet. Then under 80%
3. No root enhancer used
They all are stunned leading me to think its the environment more so the seed.
Are you monitoring the PH of the water going into the pots?
Are you going to monitor the feeding solution as well? its EC/PPM?
I do not see any feeding schedules on your diary, are you feeding them anything?
low light wattage can also cause some dwarfing but not to this degree unless its a standard light bulb.
what are your 90w custom leds like? Are they a flowering lights or just run of the mill bulbs?
If they are just stranded LED's this may also be a reason why they are small. The spectrum is not fulfilling there needs.
All cannabis plants will benefit from any root enhancers, its not needed but helps.
Best Of Luck!
4 weeks from germination, still on the small side. I turned down the led lights to 25%, they were way too high at 80% and it looks like that contributed to stunted growth. Within 5 days the plants started stretching, I gave them a good watering with a bit of grow nutes and spray the leaves with water and a bit of aloe vera and kelp powder once a day. Temp stays at 22 day and 19 night with humidity between 50 and 70%. Desertclimate here so tougher to keep constant.
I hope they somewhat recover so I can still get a few gram of them. I terminated the lemon AK, it was not healthy. For next time I'll put one plant in one pot, lesson learned...
Stems hardened already so don't want to risk LST on the main stem, I'll see how it goes.
Also, the soil starts to smell a bit sour on and off. I read it up and this indicates, bad soil, bad water drainage and or too thick soil but I used 40% ordinary potting soil, 30% perlite and 30% coco coir so it almost can't be bad drainage. I tested by giving it the good watering and it came out through the bottom in a minute or 2 so it must be bad quality middle Eastern soil. I ordered biobizz all mix for next growth
Been away for 5 nights. Gave it a good watering before I went. They look fine. They stretched but are still very small...a couple times smaller than I hoped but they're flowering and if I get a few gram of each I'll be a happy chap. Gently sprayed water first, then water with light biobizz added. Ordered good soil at a ridiculous cost and also jack herer photo seeds so I can control how much to grow before switching to flower...that's gotta be the way forward
Been away for 5 nights. Gave good watering before, they looked OK as I came back. They stretched and are flowering in 3 tiers just very short and not wide at all. Added bit of biobizz bloom to the 6.1 pH water and watered very well. Proper soil, a viparspectra p1000 and photo jack herers are ordered for next grow. Oh and also a wifi irrigation system for my holidays 🙃
Starting to smell, even though they're tiny. Feeding every other watering, looks like theres something the girls dont like
few leaves are spotty and yellowing. Hoping to pull a few gram in the end
Dawrfs. Some feed, some water. Amnesia filling out with few brown pistils already, quite early?
Lemon pie still white pistils, hope she fills out in the next weeks
Both dwarfs still fattening up. Amnesia think 2 wks more, lemon pie 3 or more. Used organic nutrient only but will still flush just in case.
Received my super lemon haze autos today so am germinating them to add to the growcabinet
Double dwarfs are just about there. Stopped feeding couple days ago and will give them a few more days before I dry and cure. Lucky if I get 5 gram between them but hey ho....lessons learned
@Ganja4Show, you know the SGL kit and lights or you mean just for the wattage? With 1st indoor grow I'm learning lots. Happy to see little buds anyway and hoping a few gram of smokeables 😀
Hey buddy they're definitely looking stunted for autos on 4th week try using a little less nutrients and try not to spray the leaves as much in indoor as the light intensity will burn the plant through the water and the chemicals I don't spray Down mine at all and your humidity and temp is around normal actually quite good ..
If it was me I would........
● flush it for a half a week to a week
●Change nutrients and lower them
●Stop spraying the plant and let it bounce back.........
● buy some advanced nutrients" revive "
That should get you back on track happy growing buddy hope to see some buds off this some time
@BastardGrower,no problems buddy ye its my first grow aswell you should check them out on my page their coming along good just gone into first week of flower... so can't wait lol
I think spraying the leaves with anything is the biggest thing
then maybe a bit nutrients will be good ,if your only using that you should try the advanced nutrients range they got a micro ,grow ,bloom nutrients pack for like £30 , it's been pretty good for me so far and can always add on other additives like big bud and bud candy later on in your growing career
What's your air flow like ??? that could be a contribute your plants could be heat stressed and will struggle to survive or grow then
@Ufcd101,
Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will try and flush...as in significant water only...every day 500ml or so? Or more? I only added 1ml a liter of the biobizz fish mix. I'll also stop spraying a while and see if it makes a difference. Thanks, I'm hoping for some wee buds too...it's a first time grow so even 5gram will be good
