Hello guys! This is my first grow and i think i made a lot of mistakes until now :D
However, i have 5 plants which are growing at different rates.
First of all, Nr.1, 2 and 3 are growing faster than Nr 4 and 5 which had been transplanted because they couldn't stand on their own, so i planted them deeper into the soil.
Unfortunately i don't know what the pH of the water is, but since i've been using it since the first day i don't think it is a problem.
I have some questions:
I've seen a lot of pictures on this site, and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I haven't used any fertilizers until now, but today (day 18) i bought an universal fertilizer (NPK 3,6 - 2,3 - 2,7) and i used it on plant 4 only.
Do you have any ideas why it seems so slow?
Thanks for your patience :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that for the first week they grew on natural light because i didn't have any LED
Hello! I've seen a lot of pictures on this site and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I didn't use any fertilizer. However, today (day19), Nr.1 started the pre-flowering phase. I have seen one pistil coming out. Any ideas why it seems little and slow?
Well the first week with natural light could be the issue. With autoflowers, I have learned that they need to grow as much as possible and as fast as possible. Remember, the first week or so, she is developing the root system before she takes off. Therefor, it could be that without much light she took a bot longer than others. Most autoflower growers use a 20 hours light 4 hours dark scheme. Anyways, nothing you can do about it now. Just take care of her and when she starts to stretch (shortly after showing pistils), you'll see a lot of growth at once. Hopefully she will grow a lot!
Also, since youre using 90w, try some LST to spread out the canopy for the most efficiency :)
So, the 4th has just started bad, really bad. 😞
I'm supposing the problem is my pH. I had checked it and the result was nearly 8, so I used a pH reducer and now it should be fine (~6,5).
I'm guessing this was the problem from the beginning, but my plants started to show the symptoms just now.
I also added some Mg in the water because i think they also have a deficency.
Do you think it's better to add now some nutrients or should i wait a few days? 😕
I hope they will get better during this week 😇
Hello!
The plants are in the middle of the 5th week.
Yesterday i watered them with magnesium and biobloom. (It was the first time when i used nutrients). pH 6.5
The last Saturday i started with the 12/12h circle.
-The Nr.1 is growing amazingly, now it's 40cm. I don't understand why it seems to be much healtier than the others. She was also the one which started the pre-flowering earlier.
-The Nr.3 is 27cm and seems to be happy, but she is also the one which has started the pre-flowering later.
-The Nr.4 is 17cm, it seems to be short, but it was replanted so i think it's 23-25cm.
I started to not watering them anymore everyday, and now i water them every 2-3 days.
I hope they will resist for another 4 weeks 😅 so i can complete this journey. I expect that at the end of May they will be ready for harvest. 😇
End of the 6th week :)
I switched to 24h because i have read that it is better.
The Nr.1 is amazing, now it's 65cm and keeps growing. It also seems pretty healthy.
The others keep growing aswell and everything its fine.
I don't have any pictures with the others, next week i will update :)
When do you think it will be ready for harvest?
I think Nr.1 will be ready in two weeks. 😁
