3/8 seeds are directly put into the (burpee organic seed starter) and watered with 1 shot glass of water.
3/9 checked the temp and it was 80-82F so I changed the fans so its more like 77-79 and I sprayed the top of the pot with water
3/12 is when 3/5 of the seeds sprouted. I have been spraying them and checking them out a couple of times a day. 1 plant is growing super strong but I think if I put more dirt in it will be better? I want to move them but I'm not sure when I should.
3/19 - changed and updated the grow to include more fans and air movement. Trying to keep the temps down but I'm doing what I can. I am so freaking out they are too small.
3/20 - not sure about plants 4/5 they are still not keeping up. putting the lids back on top of them. 1,2,3 are doing great so far.
3/23- Feed Part A (1t)+ C (1T) I fed the big 3 plants 12 oz total. I only put 5ml on the 2 small ones. Having a hard time with the temps. I think I might want to make my solution 1/4 strength going forward.
*My count is all messed up but I think I have it right now.
A couple things appear to be going on here. Like above have said, they appear to be overwatered. You should only be watering when the pot is light(couple methods here) but MJ plants like O2 in there roots. Try limiting watering to just what is needed at the time and only 2x a week.
You also need to get the humidity in the room up to atleast 50%.
When you are working with autos, you should plant them in the final pots, for a couple reasons. One being they are autos and you don’t want to stunt the plant because you can’t just add extra veg time. Secondly, auto roots go straight to the bottom of the container first. If you don’t plant in final pot, you are limiting the growth potential of your plant.
Suggest potting these in a 2-3 gallon and in the future potting them in 3-5gallon pots from the start and only feeding a tiny bit of water until the thing starts to grow well.
Nutrients seem high to me for soil in the veg period... may want to look at that, and flush the plant if it has caused your root zone to get hot or ph imbalance.
3/26- I returned the plastic cups to the plants. I also backed off on water for a whole 24 hrs. I just want weed them before the picture. 3 of the NL are doing ok. Slightly yellow but doing much better. 2 of them are still super little but looking ok so idk what’s up there. I also moved the light up just a bit. Which seems to be helping.
3/28- yesterday I re potted them into there big pots. They look so much better. Not sure about those 2 that are still tiny. I’ve been keeping them dryer then I was before.
4/1 some of these girls are starting to look decent. I dropped 2 new beans on 3/20 so there getting stuck in along with my ones I started 3/8. I want to see how they compare as the new ones already seem bigger at there stage in life then the first ones! I’ve been watering only when the soil feels like super dry in the outside edges of the pot. I am going to move them around inside the tent this weekend so I will post Picts of that.
4/5 feeling much better about my plants. There doing good and seem so much happier in the pots. I have one that has a weird stem but the leaves seem happy so I’m happy.
4/7 been much more careful with watering them. Trying to just keep really watching the plants. (There are 2 strains now...one is about 1.5 weeks behind)
How do my plants look so far? Any thoughts on my health of the plants? I’m so scared I’ve messed up somewhere! There’s more photos and info in my diary. These girls were dropped in soil (no pre sprouting) on 3/8
To be honnest your plants are small , some are looking weak but from week one to 4 we can see some of them that are doing better and starting to recovering now but the time lost can't be catch up when it comes to autoflowering strains.
What happens to me is that during week 1 they suffered from a small lack of watter ( so some difficulties to have acces to the nutrients ) , but during week 2 they suffered from overwatering ( droopy leaves and moist soil visible on the pics ) . During week 3 the domes helped them but as you can see they are soing better once transplanted into a new pot with fresh soil so I recommend you to transplant the last one as you are starting to understand how to manage your watering and humidity so the rest of the grow will be fine
Hey Mrs Sharpie,
Because your seedlings do not have a developed root system, they have to have another way to get H²O.
Young plants need high RH,
your damsels "drink" via its leaves.
I keep my seedlings at 65-70% RH and the temp. between 22-25°C.
Keep your soil moist, not wet. Increase Humidity!
Your damsel will love it.
Hope this helps a bit, keep rockin'!

4-9...I’ve been watering with the same 1 gallon of mix all week last week. Adding half to my watering can of plain water. So it’s way deleted down. I don’t want to push them too much. They seem to be doing well. The NL is looking strong even the one that had the weird stem for a while is starting to get stronger looking! I’m hoping I can get a couple Oz out of this grow. The 2 AB plants I started are looking good too. The one is slightly smaller the. The other but otherwise I think it’s good!!
4/13- I raised the light a bit today. They seem to be good. I watered on the 11th and will again today. I’m trying to only do every other day for now. I need to get the tomato’s out of my garden now. I’m sticking with the watering. It’s 1 gallon of food mixed and spread out with some water to each plant. It’s like 1/2 food mix and 1/2 water in my small watering can. (Get measurement of that) and I’m using the 1 gallon + water for all 5 plants in a day.
4/16- fed last feed of just grow big and big bloom. Saturday I will feed with Tiger bloom as well for a week or so then I will back off the grow big at the end of this week. I have 2 strains in this tent. 3 Northern lights 3/8 and 2 Auto bubble 3/20. I have basically been treating them the same for the last 2 weeks.
Just keeping up with these 3 original ladies on the left. The Auto Bubble is getting so much taller now! Idk what’s going on with them! Haha
4/26 - this is a fun part for me! Ever day they grow like noticeably! Which is crazy! I have moved into the final feeding with all 3. Starting Tuesday I will be using just the tiger and the grow big.
4/30- ladies are looking great today. Took them all out of the tent to clean up a bit and water them deep. I have been doing like 1 really deep water a week or so and then like ever other day half that amount. Started the Tiger bloom only 6t to 4 gallons of water. To use through the week. The water was ph to 6.5 before I added the bloom.
