Default Poppin My Own Cherry (eeewww)...LowLife Auto AK47
Greetings to all who enter.

This is my first grow of any kind, ever. I have been lurking around RIU for about 3 months now, reading, asking some questions and getting my learn on. I appreciate any and all input from all sources.

I am especially interested in feedback from the experienced soil and/or auto-flowering veterans.

Here are my goals for this grow:

Secure autoflowering seeds online...........Check
Build a 4' X 4' X 6' air-tight/Light-tight cabinet.....Check
Fill it with everything I need to complete a grow......Check
Collect Pollen from a healthy male and complete a seed run on one bud of my best female....In progress
Successfully harvest 3-4 ounces from 3-4 females of the six plants that are underway....In progress
Learn a few things along the way....and so it begins!!!

Default DAY 11...meet the ladies
Germination was very successful (at least for auto seeds) 6 for 6 with three really taking off

Soaked for 12 hours then germed in paper towel on plate covered by bowl, left on floor heating vent for 2 days...nice healthy tap roots

Planted 1/2" deep in lightly moistened soil in current pots

Girls 1, 2 and 3 broke ground on Friday Feb 27th and the other three busted through on Sunday March 1st. (using that as Day 1)

Received first full watering on Day 3(no nutes) temps ranging between 65 F when exhaust fan is on and 85 F when its off. Humidity hovering around 45%

2nd full watering on Day 7(no nutes) temps ranging from 65 F and 92F...heat spiked because heater was bumped to higher setting. Seems to have slowed growth of the three plants closest to it...these were the runts anyways.

Day 11 Heater has been off since day 7 as outdoor temps have risen and basement is warmer. Humidity is up to 60 -70% most days. Temps holding very steady at 65-75 F now. Today was my expected watering day, however soil is still moist on all plants and Plant 3 looks like it's having issues.

Anybody see anything obvious on #3?

Just throwing this out to whoever might see it.

I'm on day 12, I've read the autos go straight from seedling to flowering. Can you tell from the photos if they are in flower? If so I need to switch bulbs. Noticed odor for the first time this morning.

Also, is there a problem with #3 or did it just get watered too soon?

Thanks.

nope not yet! if they are females, autoflower usually takes the girls a lil longer between 3 to 4 wks old! males faster 2 to 3 wks! they are hardy plants i feed at half strength they love it they are sometimes sensitive to nutes and depending on stain mites! goodluck

btw you can keep your lights on any regimn you want 12/12 18/6 20/4 or 24! i've read the yeild and size doesn't change much from any of these light cycles if any differance 12/12 might be 3 to 5% more! if your trying to save money go for 12/12

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

They have been on a 18/6 from day 1 and I'm gonna complete the grow on that schedule.

I know they show their sex at those time frames but I thought they went into flower stage almost immediately?

Any thoughts on plant #3?
