First Time Grow Help

JiminyCricketstarted grow question 6y ago

Hello everyone! This is my first grow. I've had a rough start trying to learn the basics. I'm wondering if my current setup looks okay. I have my five original seeds that sprouted on March 5-9th. I've been feeding GH Trio in mother Earth Coco/perlite mix. Humidity @ 50 Temp @ 72.

Hi @JiminyCricket Nothing to worrie about buddie .Too much wet substrate may be the cause to plant not grow. let the substrate dry well between watering. controls if the substrate is dry by the weight of the pot. when the substrate is dry it becomes very light and when it is very wet the pot becomes very heavy.Temperature ideal 18c-28c. I prefer growing in 18/6. Try keep the humidity at 70% -80% .and only start giving growth fertilizers when the second to real leaves grow. Good luck mate 👍

I would just water them with plain pH adjusted water for the first couple weeks. I see a little nutrient burn and soil usually has enough nutrients to support them through the seedling stage. And be careful of overwatering. Let the soil dry out pretty well on top before watering so the roots can get oxygen. Good luck with your grow!

Don't need any nutrients for the first couple weeks. Looks good, just make sure you let the soil dry out mostly or the roots will start to suffocate. Only water when soil is dry

@JiminyCricket Hi mate hope you are well Your plants look to be good although one does have a little droopiness to it's leaves which suggests to me that you may be overwatering a little bit Try to wait until they are 70-80% dry before watering because the young roots are sensitive to suffocation. Good Luck 👍

Photos to fill in space for failed Autos?My grand plan was to pop 3 Autos in 5 gal fabric pots in a 3x3, but I killed one 😓 Should I try and pop a Magnum Auto, or maybe try a few small photos in 1gal pots in the same tent to fill the canopy, or would the shading and logistics be too much? Stick with 2 matching autos?

Autoflower not flowering after 3 months I'm growing a dwarf auto-flowering strain in a greenhouse outdoors. Its now been 12 weeks since it sprouted and no sign of flowers. Someone else mentioned that autoflowers sometime switch to photoperiod outdoors. Is this a possible explanation or am I just being impatient?
