Dosidos Auto - Royal Queen Seeds (first ever grow, bio)

Hi there friends, I'm excited to show ("off") the first week of vegitation and hear your inputs! Again, this is my first grow ever. Although I have relatively extensive expierience growing vegetables, flowers, trees and such, - but never in a grow tent either with this type of 'heavy' equipment. I tried watering them thrice a week -- Tuesday, Thirsday and Saturday -- but only if they seemed dry enough. Otherwise I added a few milliliters of plain water directly by the root via a plastic syringe. In said water I added Bio-Heaven and Root-Juice once in order to hopefully kickstart the microbial growth in thesoil naturally, before I start addidng Bio Bizz Microbes this coming Tuesday (28th). Both plants seem to be healthy, with the smaller pot being kept more moist with the humidity dome occasionally also as an experiment, but (likely) seem to experience stunted growth due to the Royal Queen Seed soil plugs they are rooted in. I have this intake after having opened some soil plugs containg a range of other seeds (flowers, chilli and tomato seeds, --) and finding the roots very small. Content wigth where they are and the hold they have in it with a lot of water being held in the plug. I suppose the first thing I ought to do is water a lot less. However, I want to keep the soil moist enough to ensure healthy microbial growth. I also already reduced the feed because of the lants being auto's & using less water than anticipated. Thoughts and ideas? About the pictures; I edited some andf left others untouched since it seemed a hassle to bypass the overexposure by the lights but also keeping the natural light composition intact. Therefore I decided to leave some of each, so you can get an idea of the leaf condition. Shoudl I perhaps find a different approach in this too?

Hi all, this week I experimented a lot and learned a lot of basics like the bare necessity of airflow. Just root juice in the first feed, full 'growth stage' schedule from BioBizz in the middle, and just water for the last feed/watering of that week. The pots aren't filled enough, so I added worm humus that will slowly compact as I water (just water) and release it's nutrition's to the soil which by now must already be very rich. Once they have compacted more I will add-in more all-mix soil and extra perlite, press it all down nice, yet gentle. I turned my fan on and opened up a ventilation patch on the tent (don't ask me why it was off still) that caused my plants to grow sudden and exponentially, as well as improving the stem and the plant's general stability. Happy days. This did cause my temperature and humidity to drop a lot also due to the outside world 'temps' being around freezing, drying up the air and cooling down the floor. I did already raise the pots off the floor. Seems to be doing well :D (but please do tell me if I'm wrong). I even fear it might grow to become a monster! - -Philosoraptor, 15:10 (told you) -- I will add comments in a few hours (sadly this weekend has become very busy, please bear with me!). -Philosoraptor, 02/02/25 12:45

I'm scared I'll end up growing a giant... Nobody seems to read this stuff so I don't suppose there's any point typing all this data here... shame. Guess I just though there would be more community intereaction even if I am just one of the many out there going at it for the first time.
