First week of first grow over. Had seeds in water for couple days then straight into 7 gallon pots. Not sure if should have gone smaller first but hoping is fine this way. Two of the four plants going strong one slightly behind them height wise and the last is bent over. Hoping now I removed the pod of this one it will start to recover. Welcome any comments or tips anyone has to improve my grow & knowledge
After shooting up in first week not a lot happened in second week apart from looking like they have given up. The leafs on plants seem to have curled up and don’t seem to be growing. Not sure if I should have started in smaller pots and if I have underwatered as was being careful not to over water them. If anyone has any ideas where I have gone wrong and best way to get them looking healthy be great ?
In the last couple days of week 3 most of the plants seem to look bit healthier and producing more leafs. Still trying to work out what went wrong but with @KaliChakra advice have increased the air temp to 25C and have reduced watering slightly. I am now giving each plant about 2.5l every 3/4 days rather than 2/3 days. Am considering turning both of the vipaspectra 900w settings of veg and bloom on but unsure if the plants are ready or is necessary yet? If anyone can spot any rookie mistakes im making or how to save plant C be much appreciated
Starting to show some signs of growth but still not growing up much. Have been struggling with getting watering correct seem to switch between over and under watering. Plant C still seems like mite not make it but will keep it in for now. Plant B was healthiest beginning of week but now has burn on the lower leaves not sure if is nutrient burn or deficiency of something if anyone can tell from photos be appreciated? Due to low humidity have added small humidifier to keep humidity up still not going much above 50% unsure if this slowing process down as well.
End of week 5 and most of the plants seem to be growing noticeably quicker than before showing signs of lots of new growth. All plant have suffered nutrients burn due to my lack of knowledge but thanks to @B4RNS for sending me over to grow boss on YouTube now have much better understanding of ppm and feeding schedules and can now say that the schedule I got offline was 3/4 times the concentration I should have used which may explain the brown dead leafs. Hoping they will recover if any one has any tips on treating nutrient burn after the fact be greatful to hear them
Pretty much gave up on these girls as was my first grow and killed one and other 3 looked like they were following suit. Wish kept diary going ended up with some lovely buds and good smoke recommend these seeds to newbies seem hardy
They are still at seedling stage. I’m not use to LED’s but at this stage they don’t need to be blasted by your light.
Are these nutrients amounts accurate ? Technically you shouldn’t need any nutrients at this stage . You should be using RapidStart only for the moment.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, “it’s all the same shit!” Thanks will work way through them. One quick question when the schedule I’m following says Ml/gallon is that all the same gallon or if adding say micro & grow & bloom do I add that ml for a gallon or does need to be 3 gallons if makes sence ?
@robailey, every nutrients are the same ... it’s all about the same shit .
Check these 7 videos , after this nutrients won’t have any secrets for you and you will be able to mix and match any nutrients you want.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, maybe just coincidence then that didn't plant the two at front deep enough then. Did find that when removing membrane didn't seem well rooted. Cheers for the advice hopefully they will recover
@robailey, it usually happens when you don’t plant them deep enough.
They pop out as a "Shield Head" , you must take off the shell + the transparent membrane otherwise it can get stuck in it and die .
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, cheers you were rite there was membrane over it managed to remove and has opened up now. Is strange two of my plants are doing really well (planted in first batch of coco choir i mixed up) and two not looking as strong (planted in second batch i mixed up) wondering if could be coincidence or is something in the second mix i have done that they don't like
Hi. Im growing this Auto Big Bang now, and I think you need to get your lamps 40cm under plant. Also your day temperature is 20, its too low, it must be around 25-28C. All these conditions, with maybe overwatering, made your plant small for 2nd week.
@KaliChakra, thanks wish i had continued with this diary i had pretty much given up one died and the rest didn't seem to be doing much then over a week they just went ended up with 3.5oz from 3 plants and was really good as well.
@KaliChakra, thanks I have increased to 25 but not sure about dropping the light to that low is viparspectra 900w (415w) do you know if is ok to have these LED lights that low
@robailey, I think it might be too much water for them, but you can always feel the container prior to the next round of watering and if it feels heavier you don't need to water. It's good to try to lift the 'dry' container and the wet one to feel the difference.
As for smaller pots, it's my understanding that autoflowers should be put into their final pots from the start, don't have to be right, but from what I've read and seen I'd say that's better than transplanting them due to the stress of it. I only grew them outdoors in all cases started them in 2-3L pots and transplanted them out.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks for those videos, I have now got PPM meter as from what those videos explained I’ve deffinantly over nutrient them. Just trying to get head around what PPM I should be at as grow boss talks about 75 ppm for early plants but my ph balanced tap water is reading 400ppm . Am I missing something stupid here ?
You have a lot of things to fix. Your ph level must be around 6.5. Day temp 27-29, night temp 23-27. Growing bag max 12 litres, I'm using 8l. Humidity around 20% because its flowering time and you could get mold. Lamps must be around 30-40cm under plant. Because of all these factors you got this poor result.
