Pisstank85 First week popped seeds , planted directly into 3 gal fabric pots of pro mix hp . Started out with a 35-40% humidity in the tent but the light and temperature fluctuations here have dropped that to 25% ..added humidifier set humidistat to 50%. Sprouts look green and healthy so far watering with ph 6.5 filtered water , no nutrients added yet . Hopefully didn't do too much damage the first 5 days having low humidity .

I grow in coco coir and have learnt to start feeding ASAP. My latest little one,not even having a true set of leaves yet, was given full feed yesterday and I see no signs of burn. I say go close to full feed.

It depends on the quality and nutrients in your soil. If you use a good mix, it should have at least your first 2-3 weeks of feeding in it. Especially since you went directly into the 3 gallon pots and won't need to water them too often over these next few weeks, id watch the plant for feeding about weeks 3-4. Good luck with the little babies.✌️

Hey @Pisstank85, First, since there are all different strains you should expect each to have its own characteristics. They are not going to grow the same. They also will probably handle the Nutrients a bit differently. As far as the Fugue, the brown spots just look like you got a bit of Nute burn. when you feed tey to keep it off the leaves and if you get the leaves wet you can dab them with a bit of paper towel to get the mix off of them. The Nute spots are common and should not an ongoing problem. It does appear that the leaves are a bit turned down on the Fugue, that is usually a sign of a bit too much watering. Since each of these plants is growing at a different rate you are going to have to watch your watering/feeding, with each one. Don't dry it out, but you might try to back off a bit on the watering on this one. The rest all look good at this point. You PH is a bit low in my opinion. When you get down to 6 you start to get out of the range where the plants can utilize the nutrients both in the soil as well as what you are giving them. 6.3 - 6.4 is pretty much the standard for soil and Autos. To answer your main question about feeding. @ExperimentGREEN is correct, the soil (If Quality Soil) and the seed itself has enough to carry the plants for a couple of weeks. However, having said that I personally start light feeding right after I finish the misting period, usually by the 5th or 6th day they are above ground. But I go light. and I watch them closely. Lastly, you can not beat good genetics. Not all Autoflowers are created the same, even the same variety from different breeders can be quite different. Always try to get the best genetics you can afford, the extra few dollars can save a fortune of heartache. Good luck with the grow. Just really look at them, each as their own unique plant.

Pisstank85 The girls grew quite well . Started feeding this week 1/4 strength nutes and started watering to 10% runoff which is a hell of a lot more than I had been watering them . I find the promix is drying quite quickly but tonight is the first time I've watered this much so we will see how this goes .

Pisstank85 Growth is kind of all over the place on each plant , double grape has doubled in size this week but has just recently started canoeing on some leaves , ghost toof is coming along pretty good , fugue state suffers from something with a few brown spots on the original set of leaves but hasnt persisted , and Northern Cheese Haze seems to have picked up the growth rate a bit but stays consistently smaller than all the others .Only thing I've noticed is some canoeing on the plants ..I'm wondering if maybe I have the fan too close to the girls .

Pisstank85 Ph meter broke , made a guesstimate about the ph and had to feed because I was a day late watering..I was wrong . Double grape suffered . On the upside the others are doing quite well and even the tiny northern cheese haze seems to have almost caught up to the others . The ghost toof looks like its beginning to bud a bit as well .

Pisstank85 Well I started feeding way heavier and that has been the problem . Under feeding not underwatering or overwatering ..I took it as far as waiting until my plants were bone dry and weighing the pot just to make sure . Added way more nutrients and they responded within hours , perking right up. Three plants have started budding , northern cheese haze is in pre flower but getting there .Fugue state has stretched out alot and I've done some pretty heavy defoliation and lst , mostly trimming the dead or severely yellow leaves but some big fans as well to open things up .

Pisstank85 In all honesty I'm not sure if I got the nutrients dialed in . I tested runoff and it was all within range of soiless mixes , calibrated my ph meter every watering as I thought maybe that's why I was getting yellowing leaves . They are still growing and budding rapidly and seemingly on par with what I've seen with others in like mediums so I'm trying not to worry too much . My carbon filter shit the bed already so my Mrs isnt happy with me today as my whole basement wreaks . The plants went from not too bad to wicked bad smelling within a couple days . I've been defoliating but do you think I should do more ?

Pisstank85 Continue to get yellowing leaves . My ph runoff is still within range . The plants seem to be budding quite well regardless . The northern cheese haze has a smell I'm not fond of but the rest of the plants smell amazing . The ghost toof will likely be my showgirl of the crop as the top cola is the size of a tall can right now and I'm only around 60 days . Double grape is frosty and sticky as hell , almost fruity hash smell . Fugue state is beefing up nicely too and seems to still be stretching a bit . The cheese has rock hard buds that are beginning to fill out but I dont think itll be a large yield off that plant at all . Still cant seem to get my nutrients right .

Pisstank85 Temps have been unseasonably cold here so it's been working out well to keep my grow cool . I still cant dial in my nutrients properly no matter what I do here . I wont be using up the rest of this line after this grow . The buds seemingly are doing fine but I'm getting yellowing leaves as if I'm still nitrogen deficient but I upped my calmag to full dose .

Pisstank85 Well, I forgot to recalibrate my meter and gave the girls a bad dose of high ph feed . For whatever reason the next day it was like it snowed in the tent because they frosted up like crazy . I'm getting ready to start flushing the plants in the next day anyhow so I figured I'd leave it be . I'm thinking another ten days and I'm chopping ! I'm hoping the buds will still swell during the flush but I'm not sure that will happen .
