Actually it depends what kind of soil do you use and how did you prepared it. For first week it can grow even with distilled water feeding. Do not feed around seedlings, first two weeks pour water at the edges of the pot. Roots should seek for water. And also looks like there is light deficiency.

This is actually day 22 from seed to pot. On my chart Friday’s is the beginning of each week. Day 16 1/25/20 4:40pm Plants looked a little down so I divided a full gallon of distilled water with 1tsp calmag, 3tsp big bloom, 1tsp grow big. The ph came up to 6.1 bout an hour later the plants was standing at attention like never before Day 20 1/29/2020 6:18pm I added more roots organically 707 to cover stems a little more. I was told it’ll help root growth and strengthen the stems as well didn’t add any water or any thing just spread enough 707 to fill the top of 3 gallon bags cause I didn’t completely fill the bags Day 22 start of week 4 1/31/2020 7:16am I noticed some little brown spots towards the tips of both the Zkittlez and Zkittlez Og so I flushed them with a whole gallon on distilled water ph was 5.67 before adding when I tested run off ph was bouncing from 6.4-6.8-6.5-6.3 I honest don’t know what the hell Im doing but Im experimenting and learning and I just invested in some photo seeds since I couldn’t find any clones so I’m going start experimenting with two photos next I’m starting on germination today so I’ll b posting a new diary soon

I've had exactly the same problem, The burnt edges are usually from nutrient overload. Try dialling down on the nutrients, and feed once a week. I would go 1/2 or 1/4 of the recommended dose. Hopes this helps ya! :)

Looks like you fed them a little too much. No big deal. I burn mine a little every time. In soil it is best to feed every third watering. Water, water, feed, repeat. This will help with the burn and stop salts from building up on the roots. Autos usually won't ever need more than half of the recommended dose of nutrients. Good luck!

Hey guys I’m really behind been xtremely busy going through a few things I planted these Autos January 10th 2020 it’s March 9th 2020 day 60 if I’m not mistaken and the pictures that’s posted was taken today Now here what’s going on with the girls.... Zkittlez Og : Has been in its Flowering stage for bout two and a half maybe three weeks i only performed some LST and been feeding her once a week ph to 6.3 .... she really looks like a snake to me from the LST lmao Gelato : Has jumped into this Flower early last week I performed some LST and topped the top only got two nice tips out of it I only feed and water once a week just gave her her first treatment of big bud candy and 6.3 ph water with a little calmag and tiger bloom she look good to me Zkittlez : I honestly thought it was over for this plant I did a lot of topping, defoliation and hst I clipped it a lot down to just 4-5 nods and she has popped up strongly now she also just switched to flower early last week so I watered her with some big bud candy and calmag I took off the ties today and just letting her do her thang won’t be touching these girls for another three or four days I must say I’m kinda excited I’m doing so well with the plants their very short but hey I’m doing this for me plus I have a few clones in the tent now and bout time these are done hopefully they’ll b close to ready for flower I also order some feminize seeds and got rid of the mystery seeds well they died honestly I still have two of I’m going to put out back once the weather break here but thanks checking out my grow subscribe to my YouTube #48219KrudBuddys

Get a jewelers loop, 10 bucks or so 15-30x minimum, its the only way to know for sure where you stand, everything else is guessing. Look at the tricone a LOT so you can begin to learn their structure and colors. When to take the plant is subjective, the effects will change based on when you harvest. All a milky white color with mushroom heads will do though it is VERY easy to miss the clear tricones. I wait until I begin to see some amber (very little unless I am growing some sleepy time stuff anyway) then its done IMO. Get loop and study them, it will pay off.

Hey guys idk what’s going on my autos it seems as if the Gelato and Zkittlez has just stop growing completely I mean there’s no change at all the Zkittlez Og is starting to fill in forming nice little buds but my other autos seems like they had stop completely I know the lifespan on the Gelato is 76-80 days from seed to harvest The Zkittlez lifespan said the same 76-80 days from seed to harvest Zkittlez Og lifespan is 80-90 days from seed to harvest And I know I’m for sure March 9th marked the 60th day on all autos and I know I stress the hell out of them overwatered etc but it looks as if I might only have one plant to successfully make it yet this is my first grow and why I choose to do autos first to give me a little insight on what I’m doing but I’m going to let these girls go for a full 90 days before I decide to trash em and focus purely on my clone grows

It is officially day 90 on both AutoFlowers I honestly don’t know what’s going on I know for sure I stunned the growth by over watering and under feeding and too much stress Just literally doing way too much but here’s what’s going on Zkittlez Og Auto : looks really good to me I let it dry out completely til I started to flush today a fellow growers told its time there’s a lot of amber hairs and newer pistils growing so it’s almost ready for harvest Gelato Auto: still looks like it’s suck i places it under the 250w grow bulb 💡 bout 18in above and it’s been bout a week and still doesn’t look like it’s doing anything but I don’t wanna just throw it out so I boosted the feed today and just pray it starts to bloom

Your girl is too small for feed, wait til 4th node at least. Good luck

AsNoriucommented5 years ago
@KrudBuddysExotics, every strain is very dif, some like nutes some dont. Every bean will be dif even from same batch, but ... In general, you dont need to feed plant so early, for first two weeks he has everything in his seed , i dont speak even that normal soil is full of food aswel. But ... Next time have two plants, force one, go steady with other. Make like 3 indipendant grows for more clear result. I can bet you will laugh to that guys face after ;)
KrudBuddysExotics
KrudBuddysExoticscommented5 years ago
@AsNoriu, yeah everyone is saying that but I had another grower come by and said should push em to the limit just go lite nutes once a week then 50% nutes thru the rest n only water last two weeks
Blueboy2019
Blueboy2019commentedweek 35 years ago
Yo my g what's going on.... Your plants are still only small mate no need for nuts yet just keep with the spray gun and if u are feeding only feed 10% of what it says on the bottle.. Your plants don't need much to thrive and if there under led as well it takes a lot longer for the water to get sucked up... With autos less is more in most cases.. Remember mate only way to get better is to fkk up on the way happy growing playyyer

@Blueboy2019, thanks my guy I fed em real lite nutes I was told to push em to the limit see what they can handle their coming out nice tho standing tall I’m only going to feed and water once a week for the first four weeks

Looks like it's doing really well - I'm currently doing a Fastbuds Zkittlez and I have super cropped it. It's taken very well too it and is showing no signs of stress. If you need any advice of help just stop me a message! Check out my diaries if you get a chance! Happy growing

I highly recommend getting a high quality light but until then bring your lights a lot closer to about 12 to 18 inches away from the canopy. Samung LEDs are really good. I have my old blurples lights for bloom since they have a lot of the red spectrum. I have a 500w BudgetLED and it pulls a true 500w from the wall.
KrudBuddysExotics
KrudBuddysExoticscommented5 years ago
@419plus1, your right I don’t think it pushes a full 1200 it say it replaces a 800w hps but it’s really kickin strong tho since I added it to the tent my clones has started giving a lot of new growth in just days and I moved the autos into a separate tent with just an 250w grow bulb from the hydro shop some reason the Gelato Auto still looks like it’s stuck n not growing but the Xkittles Auto I taking on strongly I see new buds piling on top of buds n new pistils popping out I will b updating soon
419plus1
419plus1commented5 years ago
@KrudBuddysExotics,I know those lights advertise 1200w but there is no way. It is producing those numbers. I have two Chinese blurple lights that say 1200w but when tested it's actually 248w. I just bought an American quantum board that was $615 for true 500w
KrudBuddysExotics
KrudBuddysExoticscommented5 years ago
@419plus1, hey thanks for the advice I just added a new Aglex 1200w to the tent and I’m putting together another diy tent for flower but I will take your advice and lower the light on the auto flowers

@Fast_Buds, hey thanks this my first time growing n I’m kinda sad I think I may have drowned my seeds or place them too deep into soil because a friend of mines we started with the same strains from the same vendors and his seeds has already sprouted and mines hasn’t we have the same set up n everything do you think I may have drowned the seeds or place them too deep n would it hurt if I try to replant them or is it over for the seeds n I should just reorder n start over
