CharterCannabisstarted grow question 4 years ago
Wondering what light schedule I should run for this since it's an auto? I've seen 18/6 suggested but also full 24. Anyone have any suggestions/experiences?

Don't go full 24hr, it's OK while they pop out the ground but after that either go 20/4 or 18/6. They need a rest period. I do 20/4 in winter to generate a higher temp and 18/6 in the summer to lower my temps.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?Leaves. Edges burnt

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short
