Hey everyone
So here are 3 auto's from FASTBUDS.2 are their take on girl scout cookies and the other is bluedream'matic,which was a freebie included in my order from attitude.I started germinating these last Saturday (1 week ago as of writing this) and they all had @ min 1/2" of taproot 2days later and were put in small planters with promix.....
Since this is only my 2nd indoor grow,first ever with autos I wanna keep it pretty basic.These will go into 3gal smart pots,and all will be in promix.Ichave not made a descion on nutes yet,still pondering that and wondering which too go with...K onto the beans,soThe G.S.C will be going into a 4'x2' tent while the blue dream will stay in the 2' x 2'.will maybe try a scrog or some lst...I am open too some advice for sure......And altho I want too upgrade my lights too something different,for now I will be running mars hydro proii 80 x 2 + 1 x 48 reflector in the 4x2 (150w ea for the proii and 96w for the reflector...close enuff too call it 400 watts) and another Chinese 4 cob that I am working on right now to convert too a better cob,that will be in the 2x2.I do not want too get way ahead of myself like I see some new enthusiast do,and start spending way more than I really can afford on some killer lights,not for now anyways.I alwAys been a go big or go home type when I had other interests,and altho it gave me some bragging rights,if i was that type of person and some skilled talent......I would rather keep what I have for a couple more grows AND max out yield and quality before moving up to something newer....better......
I am open minded and open too advice and tips on growing,that's why I joined riu.....So much knowledge here.I just cannot spend $$ on new light fixtures right now.....
Thanks for taking a look

A quick update with a couple pics....started giving these very light feeding...right @ 200ppm,I use filtered water that's has a ppm of 0-6 depending on how old the filter is..So I have them under a marshydro 48 reflector,full power (both switches on)and about 24" away.these are approx 10days from when they first broke ground......
First pic was January 19,second was January 28

Hope everyone has a great day

So a little update on my autos......first i apologize for not posting updates on a more regular basis....or better put I only add updates when I may be having issues and need to ask for help....in the attached pics all 3 of these are 31days from popping out of the dirt,the 2 bigger ladies are right around 6" tall (fastbuds g.s.c) and the smaller one is about 3" in hieght (fastbuds bluedream) did I stunt these sum britches ?

Hey @Dendrophilly . I keep my tent at 21° lights on and off,humidity is 45% sometimes it will creep to 50%......i had both switches on ....full power on my lights,I moved the lights up too 30" above plants,tried turning the bloom switches off.....I'm not sure what is up.My first time with auto's and I am wondering if i gave them nutes too soon and its stunted them.or maybe I had the light too close when they were still seedlings,it was approx 24" away,in full power,the plants didn't show any signs of light stress,besides my lights are pretty anemic........Also these have started too get "hairs" on them already as well....
I transplanted then into 3gal smart pots 2 days ago,with new pro mix.....I feed them last nite w/cal max and some gro a/b,my ppm was 540 w just cal max,and I only added a cc of each gro a/b to the 2lts of filtered water....so my ppm ended up at 590ppm w/ph @ 6.......

A quick edit.....I did notice these were growing pretty well,and they seemed too stop bout the same time the stems started turning purple.Maybe a coincidence,maybe a deficiency of calcium .......???? Not sure that's why I am here

Is this normal growth rate,it seems from what I have looked at on line...most autos are this size by the
2nd week

Sorry bout the ramblings on..........its what i do :wall:

Autoflowers are supposed to go into their final pots. transplanting autos can highly stunt the growth rate. What's your light cycle. Anymore pics

Hey Rolla, I read the info I final pot size unfortunately it was too late I had mine already growing in a 3" plastic pot.I put these into the regal smart pots about 5 days ago....they weren't root bound but growth had been really slow since they had broke ground....After i put them in the 3 gallòn smart pots they have grew a bit.....
my light is on a 20 on/4 off
