All three seeds germinated within 24 hours. Planted one skywalker in a happy frog perlite mix and one skywalker in a 50/50 happy frog and ocean forest mix.
Definitely nutrient burn, do not give any fertilizers for at least 2 weeks then start with one quarter strength before going to half strength 3 weeks later.
Autos can get by happily on no more than half strength nutrients their whole lives when growing in soil.
Also, 24/0 is bad for any plant, including cannabis.
Cannabis NEEDS sleep and 18/6 is optimum for a healthy metabolism.
Cannabis, all plants really, need sleep to finish their photosynthesis cycle and have a correctly functioning life.
The myth that growing cannabis for weeks/months without sleep needs to be erased from the internet, only someone who does not understand photosynthesis and how plants function would spread the rumor that growing at 24/0 is just fine. It definitelt is not!
Anyway, enough of my rant, it is not too late for your baby, you will not lose anything by going to 18/6, in fact you will gain much due to the plant having a correctly functioning metabolism and proper health, just don't feed it for a while, the soil is hot.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
Growth has begun to speed up. The skywalkers are behind in size compared to the sour diesel.
Changed lights to18/6. Moving them outside to garage under 600w mh for rest of veg.
Growth is exploding! The skywalkers are showing pre-flower sexing. With the weather moving them to garage delayed a couple days. Will start 25% nutrients on next water.
Looking good man. Since your new do yourself a favor and look up VPD, vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis its a huge help. Also get yourself a PAR meter and a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 max to better read your plants and grow to their needs. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Happy growing!
Wow- they look great...I am starting on week 2 tomorrow with autoflower:
When do I start nutes?
Do I have to change the 18/6 light dark on nutes- to start flowering?
How did you learn to do the LST (tieing down the branches)?
Thanks for any advice
@Noahbear, I didn't start nutrients until I saw the pre-flower sexing.
Just scouring YouTube and diaries about different techniques.
Been practicing with photoperiods for a couple years.
I try to keep a low, even canopy because of height restrictions in tent.
