Hi everyone I'm tubbzy this is my first ever grow I'm growing in a 80x 80 x180 grow tent under a 250w light seedlings coming on nicely planted directly into final pots made the rookie mistake of buying miracle grow compost before reading that it's not the best choice but to late now so hopefully they still coming out ok
Seedlings are 5 days old do they look ok guys ?

Hi my older bottom fan leaves have all turned yellow and are beginning to brown and fall of I believe this to be nitrogen deficiency but not sure ? I didn't give any nutrients for the first 4 weeks as had used miracle grow and didn't want to over do it will my yeilds be affected
Ditto on the above, the miracle will just make your feeding a bit difficult because you will always have an unknown, well thats just one in what a few hundred we deal with?
Yeah no big deal try half strength of something to your liking in conjunction/alternately with Recharge (THIS!) as it does some great stuff without adding heavy nuets. Some vids on Youtube if you like, Ive added it to mine.
The Girls stretched for flowering, so they had a big need for Nitrogen, she cannibalised herself to get some Nitrogen. This is a sentece i use very rarely.... youve had alack of fertilisers. But thats not to change andno big thing.....stay and up the Nitrogen as long as she stretches, later you can lower again....
Day 56 going to be giving the babies there first big flush today all going really well surprised how easy these autos are to grow.the yeilds hopefully are ok well there covered in good size nugs so hope there gonna be tasty and are starting to smell amazing
@rhodes68, well I dont see anywhere near them numbers sadly with these babys.
I'm only using a 250w light would you recommend using more powerful I'm growing in a 80x80x1.8 tent
As for yield on autos its a pretty mixed bag of genetics and environment. I had one plant that did not suffer any stress during grow and got 140g with nothing more than light attention and then get 70g from a plant I fuss over but was stressed early... genetics and getting them to finish without any serious stress seems to be the ticket. They have to be trained but the goal is for that to be the only stress they face .. well that and damn good roots... Good luck with this I am still trying
@Tubbzy,
250W closest 10″ (25cm) sunlight 12″ (30cm) furthest 14″ (35cm)
10 inches is gonna be rough, I keep a dimable 600w MH set at 300w at 14-15" during veg and cheat higher when in doubt in flower. I see a lot of folks throwing far too much light on the subject IMO :)
If the plants are unstressed they will produce more, or so I see it. Canopy flatness can a bothersome problem fought it last grow will not do so again so I train the crap out of everything with LST. Ya try your best and hope ya did right :)
@rhodes68, I'm using a 250w hps duel spectrum light aprox 10inch from canopy had to raise two of my plants to match the height of my gorilla glue have experimented with light height and experienced bleaching at 6" so 10" seems to be ok .I've now brought some garden wire and have bent branches away from main stem for better light penetration
@Tubbzy,
Well I stick with Fast Buds because well they just give the most dependable yield and the genetics are stable(ish). Spend a lot of time here and other sites looking at what people are doing and how it turns out. Looking at Octopots now to further increase yields (www.youtube.com/watch
What kind of Light? 250 could be anything but I assume LEDs?
250w in veg is plenty its flower where the light really shines (heheh get it?) 250 true watts in LED is ok (30w per sq foot rule 80x1.8 = 12sq feet = 360w in flower DEPENDING on how much is covered in canopy) but if its HID its going to affect yield so hows the setup?
Light height/heat is paramount here I have a link that may help.

Yeah my gorilla glue auto is shooting up at around 18 inch girl scout cookies and stardawg both about 4 inch shorter but all going well had some signs of nitrogen deficiency over last few days so time to nute these little babys
14 days in my babies all doing well .as I'm growing in compost with added slow release nutrients any ideas when I should start feeding them nutrients ????
