1/8/24 - I received a 100W light from a friend but I am waiting for an adapter for the plug from Amazon. It was supposed to arrive today (1/8/24) but was delayed. Not too worried about it because the current light is pretty gentle. I would have definitely switched lights today if I could but I can't, and I am not too worried about it as long as it comes soon. I did receive my Captain Jack's Neem Oil spray and immediately gave the 1st treatment. For the soil I used a homemade compost for my garden that consists of cardboard, grass clippings, kitchen waste (no meat) and chicken manure. It had been composting for a couple months but many mites were visible and they made me furious. Neem oil should do the trick. I should have known that my soil would be teeming with parasites but it never occurred to me. I have not seen a single critter on the plants themselves, but I don't want to either. Still spooning the daily water directly around the roots. Watching their daily growth, along with their namesakes is a blessing. I will destroy whatever tries to hinder or harm them. Oh and I found a cool mist humidifier in the attic so I put that in there with them. I will have to manually turn it on for a few hours a day as it is quite overpowered for the tiny closet.
1/9/24 - Amazon delayed the adapter for my light again. Estimating the 12th now. Starting to get pissed because I feel that my current light is ass, and these should be growing faster. :(
1/12.24 - Got the adapter. Found out light i had was 100w not 30w and I had it way too close. Burned the smaller 2. Now 200w but much higher.
@James, Hey James! Check out week 8. Is it possible I ended up with a rogue autoflower in my batch? It was bought from Puff n' Stuff in Mayfield Hts, Sour Diesel Feminized. Batch #BB23BF02102 if that helps. I still have the orig. packaging if needed. Thanks!
Everyone counts it differently.
No stress at all.
I count first 7 days since seed touched soil a germination week. I just drop it straight, no fuss.
8th day is first day of week 1 of veg.
Flipping to 12/12 again, first day with duration of 12 hours - first day of flower.
But there is no rules, you will hear many ways . It makes no difference generally.....
