Hey! I’m currently germinating a strawberry gum auto. My first grow was a disaster so hoping for this one the go well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My set up is very similar to your ghetto cupboard grow 🤣 Fingers crossed your lady perks up soon and you get a decent yield!🤞

I’ve chucked it out. Thank you everyone for all of the advice! Today I’ve started germinating strawberry gum auto - advanced seeds. I’m growing in soil this time and have raised my light as many people have recommended. Fingers crossed it goes well. I’ll start my diary once it’s popped!

If you are using soil there should be enough nutrients to just to feed with water for the first couple of weeks... In coco there isn't any nutrients so soon as you plant your seed you have to feed accordingly

I'm sure you can't run organic nutes through coco.... You have to feed coco straight away as there isn't enough nutrients in the growing medium... You plant looks like it is seriously underfed.

@Geordiejesus, I realise this now, thank you. Next grow will be in soil. Any type of soil you recommend?

Hey man, I fucked up around 15 plants with coco. Same problem being stunted during first 2 weeks of veg. I think its always 2 much or not enough nutrients. In my case I just binned all of them at week 3 and start again. Dont touch coco any more, just soil mix. No problems, no headache

@smoking_hills9, thank you so much for the advice. Any soil you recommend?

Forgot to mention, I pulled off the dead leafs at the bottom. Weather it was a good idea or not, I don’t know, but hey ho!

@Autospud, I see what you mean thank you again!

@Autospud, I didn’t realise that it’s normal for the first few leafs to fall off - I assume that’s why they’re yellowing. Thank you so much for your comment, you’ve been a massive help!

Hey! You might have been a little early with the nutrients. Autos do well with just pHd water until they are established. They have all they need to get them going in their first leaves which will fall off when they are no longer needed. So you probably could of held off for another week. Don't go crazy on the nutrients to start, work them up. Its best not to upset autos in Veg when the clock is ticking till flower. Also if you can get a PH pen, you can pick one up on amazon relatively cheap. Better to be accurate and you will need one down the road, this hobby is very addictive! My first grow I used the liquid dropper and it was a nightmare. Im no expert but hopefully that helps
