All photos taken day 22 from seed day 15 from planting. These are my first autos and I've never done anything inside before but starting my moms and clones for spring. This plant is remarkably tiny. My genetics are at least ankle tall at 20 days, this plant is seriously 1 inch. I can tell the roots hit my compost layer as the bottom leaf tips have began yellowing. If they are like other plants I've grown since '99 they'll really take off here in about 10 days. There has been new nodes under the canopy and lateral growth but zero increase in height, which is pretty astounding. Amazing things these autos are. I'll do some thimbling 6 hours for a few days this week to encourage the new growth sites under the canopy. She's had about 15oz of well water, as the roots expand I'll be able to water more but for now I'm just keeping the area 2 inches from her stem watered. I've learned that our plants don't like to be soaked in huge pots throughout the years and to only water a small area around a small plant in a large pot, keeps the air in the soil better, I prefer to do it this way to forgo the chaos of replanting and the stress that goes along with it. Nothing wrong with the transplanting method but if you've worked with large pots or outdoor 5 gallon bucket grows before and have your watering technique down, you can skip the shock and stress. This Ultimate Auto is a lot more sensitive to my compost than either my own genetics or the Auto Somango growing next to it. Typically my leaves yellow ever-so-slightly at the edges if at all once the roots make it through my seedling soil and into my compost. The Somango Auto didn't yellow at all but this Ultimate is definitely showing burn. I expect her growth to more than double in 10 days after reaching the compost at least that's what's been my experience with my own strains. The other 2 UFOs were really in my way so I'm only using 1 per plant now, spaced 16 inches above the top leaves. The giant 10,000 lumen LED in the middle between my two plants. I'll employ the extra 2 UFOs in a few weeks, mounted sideways or upside-down at the undergrowth. The LED I'll mount horizontally with a mylar shade once they grow to 12 inches tall. Temp is steady 75°F I use a fan a few hours each day. There's not much fresh air or circulation where they are so they're receiving some supplemental CO2 from a gallon jug of mash. At 1 foot tall I'll show how to make you some weed feed as I call it. Cheers, and good luck to all my fellow farmers.

Very good GD Entry this week! I'm curious to see how She grows now that you think She's hit the compost.

BudKingsGrowcommented7 years ago
@Skiffdank, That's interesting... Maybe its just a matter of Her needing to be a little stronger to handle the nutrient hot compost. She might take off yet!!

@BudKingsGrow, Turns out she hates it lol! Lots of new growth spots but nothing yet like the inch per day I expect from my plants. We'll see..

Looking good man, I've got two Auto Ultimates that I put directly into cocomix last week. About 5 days until they showed up. Mine are at about 1.5 inches now. It'll be cool to see how yours go on LED
