This is my first attempt at growing a marijuana plant.
I ordered seeds from Bud Aroma, the source and strains are above.
I'm using VIPARSPECTRA LED 300W grow lights.

I have an auto-watering planter. It's plastic and I'm growing directly in it -- no bags or anything. I was too anxious to get started to wait to buy and receive bags. About 2 gallons.

I started it in inert, nutrient-less fiber soil (it came with the planter).
I mistakenly provided a massive amount of nutrients the first day -- I believe it was 6 tablespoons total. I won't feed them again for a week or more. I want to see how they do after that boost. Hopefully, I didn't burn them.
The first three plants poked their heads out for a first look this morning. The other three popped out later in the afternoon.
There's one Pineapple Express and five Northern Light.
Search for topping method if you dont want tall and bigger plant, or scrog your plants to train them.. if you switched your light to 12/12 they will start blooming.. ✌️🏼
@420_liquidsun, Okay. I wasn't certain if I'd force them into blooming by doing that before they've shown their sex or not and without TOTAL darkness. Thanks for the advice. I've topped the tallest now, too, so hopefully that will help. More colas the better!
@c3llular, I mean, if you want to give them less light, try 18h lights on/6h lights off, switching to 12h darkness force them to blooming. Happy growing..
Each one of those plants can take up to one square meter for an indoor grow, At a minimum you need a 1.5' x 1.5' space to grow them properly.... I think you are going to need a bigger bird cage.
Look up "damping off"
You don't want your medium completely drenched. You want it to be moist not wet. Reason for this is the medium wont dry and the roots could rot
When you water seedlings for the first time you should water with no more than 500ml for seedlings that size baring in mind you have so many in 1 pot. I would advise you seperate them all into different pots. Seedling stage is crucial to get right especially autoflowers, good luck👍🏼😃
I have the plant inside an old bird cage with the light hung from the top of the cage. This is perfect for the germination/seedling stage, as it keeps the light the perfect distance -- about two feet -- away from the plant. As it gets older and taller, I will have to remove it from the cage and hang the light from the ceiling.
Hey man, just caught a glimpse into your grow. I am new to this too and don't know very much, but I did go through a time when my plants looked similar. It's too much water or light (intensity)... I'm guessing water based on the pics. My girls sag like that for a few hours after they get a drink, but then they pop back up. Not sure on your system, but that's just my guess. Good luck!
