So this is my very first grow and to say I’m excited is an understatement lol
After much research I decided to grow
1x FastBuds Pineapple Express
2x Positronics Jack Diesel
All 3 of my girls are Auto’s as I thought this would make it a bit easier as I’m a newbie!
I’m growing in a Black Orchid grow tent with a 6” exhaust and carbon filter, 6” inlet fan, 2 small clip on fans and 2x 350 Mars LED lights.
I’m using 10l smart grow bags filled with a 70/30 mix of coco coir and perlite. I keep the PH between 5.5 and 6.5 and am currently on wk 2 of flora’s nutes schedule.
Have just started to grasp the feeding/watering situation, last week I stupidly mixed up a wk 2 solution of nutes and the first true set of leaves at the bottom have paid the price! I think I over watered them slightly as well. I let them dry out for a couple of days then just fed plain PH water the next few times. They had a very weak mix of nutes Thursday and I will give them the rest tomorrow. My PPM reading was 868 is this right?
Would really appreciate your pearls of wisdom as I am a newbie at growing my own medicine!! Can’t wait to smoke it. 😁
Looks like you are off to a great start to me. I overwatered my first few plants too. Catch it early on, like you did, and everything should be fine. I’m growing autos also and have been giving nutes at half strength once per week. Mid week waterings are water only. Good luck and have fun! 👍🌱
First grows are scary, but exciting! Luckily, you're doing VERY well! Very happy plants! Liked and followed!
Don't worry about their time estimate, it seems to be the absolute best estimate for the best, most powerful lights. I haven't had any brands of auto -- most of which claiming like 9 weeks or something, in less than 14-16.
I do train, but at the same time most auto diaries I see are longer as well. It fits with how photoperiod strains' flowering periods are advertised as super short as well.
If you have any questions, let us know =)
