I'm planning a similar sized cupboard but to be honest yours looks bigger than the dimensions you gave. Is 69cm from below the pot to above the light or is that your "usable" height? I have a 1m high trunk and it looks very similar. I am planning short Sativa's so will be SCROGing, increases per plant yield significantly while controlling height, I have only done it once but it was awesome.

Can't offer any help but it looks healthy enough at the moment, I wouldn't worry.

Yeah I don't wanna do any lst, topping or scrog cus people stray from that with auto's.
I think I figured out why my leaves are yellow. Nitrogen deficiency.
Checked the info on the soil I'm using and it's low on that.
Checked a deficiency chart, and I'm getting my nutes today so that should fix the problem!

As for the cab, yeah the inside is 69cm high etc.

Wasn't suggesting you do any scroging, in general you will only get one nice big cola. With these auto Sativa's I'm getting I believe it can be a different story. I'll be watching...

Aa okay, well hey.. goodluck on your grow!
Btw, I need to adjust my ph levels, how do you suggest I do this?
Measure ph of water I'm using and somehow measure the ph of my soil?

Alright just watered my plants, mixed in my Biobizz grow and pH down with it.. I had a really hard time because I forgot to buy a syringe. My pH was lower than what I wanted it to be but since I have been watering with my high pH sink water do you think they will kind of equalize? Hopefully I didn't just nute burn my plants too. Damn.. well, learning more n more everyday.

I have only done hydro for which I simply used ph paper to test the water, for soil I assume you would need some kind of probe, I wont offer any advice there but:

Let Me Google That For You

Lets see some pics. With nutes I have always found less is more...

Alright, it's been 3 days now since I added my nutes.
My soil felt dry 2 inches deep when I stuck my finger in.

I'm really worried my pH is off and I don't know how often to nute/water.

But here are some update pics.

I can't help you with nutes. But for ph . Amazon sells 100pc pH test strips for like 7 bucks shipped. I also bought some ph up and ph down tht came with a ph testing liquid , sort of like eyedrops and it comes with a small tubular container and you fill it half way with water add 3 drops of Liquid and the water will turn a color depending on ph , pH chart is on the bottle . Test strips work the same way Do not skimp on pH levels. lemons and baking soda are IMO temporary and fluctuate the ph too much . Spend 16 bucks and get the pH Up and down pack .All on Amazon

Hmm alright, I'll need to get those. I only have a pH test kit with the drops and tube but don't have those strips.
I have some pH down but haven't gotten pH up yet.

Just passed my inspection tho!!!!! Three guys spent 30 mins in my 12 square meter room and didn't find shit.

they look really good. dont worry about lower burn so much. and idk bout autos but im assuming they are all feminized? anyway take a good look at the nodes from time to time...

1 month old an i would be expecting some sort of preflower

a good trick i learned last night is to go to google.com and type in "rollitup.org <question>" this is a more effective way of searching rollitup cause the RUI search sucks.

Aa okay, thanks for the tip man. Yeah the lower leaves went yellow after a nitrogen deficiency, transplant made it worse.

Yes, they are feminized.

Nodes, are those where the branches connect and I can see little green things growing? It's like on the stem/branch part where they meet.

Alright well I think this thread ends today. I have someone who may snitch on me. The plants wont be ready before christmas and I need to be in my hometown by then. I'm 24 days from seed, give or take a few days. The flowering period is 7-9 weeks and I'm not even there yet. I will be using the same setup in about 3-5 months to get about 30 new plants ready for the outside grow I will be doing this summer.

Anyone know a strain with a short life and that can be grown outside in a northern climate and also have a good yield?

A thank you to everyone who helped me along the way, can say I learned a bunch. See you guys soon.

Dude that sucks :( Did you tell ppl though. That's the number one golden rule!!DONT TELL ANYONE!!!Tbh autos are meant to finish up pretty quick. I think you are probably way too late in the year though in the northern hemisphere for an outdoor grow man unless your somewhere like south cal lol

Nah, Im gonna get the plants ready once summer comes closer ofcourse :D
I told one friend and then the other who knew was my seller but he I can trust.
But yeah, next grow will be in 7-9 weeks. Same Auto NL.
After that I will get ready for outdoors!
Shame I had to kill those things though.. I think they looked nice :/

Yeh you must be pissed lol. Definitely don't give away the location of your outdoor crop though man. It would just be too easy for someone to snatch that away! Wish it was warmer in the uk. I would really like to do a proper outdoor grow. No tent, no light, no hydro! Just soil, seed's, water haha

Hahaha yep, I feel you. I think for the next 2 months I will just save money. Invest in a bigger grow box. The current setup works but it has quite a few issues regarding stealth and convenience.

I plan on building in this : http://www.city-bargains.com/bargains/viewItem.action?itemId=710
60 euros where I live. Gonna stealth da shit out of it and use it for a few years if all goes well.

As for outdoors, I need to find a helper. Growing in the woods requires a car.
