1st grow. Fresian dew auto by Dutch Passion in soil under 300w dual spectrum CFL.

So this is my second plant of my first grow. The other plant is a bag seed that until 2 weeks ago had been sat on my bathroom windowsill since March and it's journal can be found here. https://www.rollitup.org/t/grow-journal-vegged-on-uk-windowsill-finishing-under-300w-dual-spec-cfl.882534/#post-11871439

She is in a 20L air pot with biobizz soil mix. Currently 6 days since breaking soil outdoors (UK) and 24 hours under light. She will be fed biobizz grow, bloom and topmax. In terms of lighting she will be under 18/6 until October the 15th then the lighting will change to 12/12. I know this isn't ideal for and autoflowering strain but I hoped to have my photo plant finished for Xmas feedback is really appreciated!

Just a small update with some friendly advice. The plant is now receiving 24/0 light due to the second £2 Chinese crappy timer breaking in a week (and yes my voltage and amps where within what the timers are supposed to take.) I guess the moral of the story is not to be a stingy eBay bastard the whole grow!

Week 1.
Third set of real leaves appearing, all seems healthy. Fed plain PHd tapwater so far and a light misting with a dilute Epsom salt solution.

Start a journal? We can compare growth ect

It wont let me start a journal. Do i need to post a certain amount then itll let me? Would like to compare

Mines getting there

What strain are you growing? I'm doing Dutch passions upgraded version of fresian dew that is supposed to be quite likely to show the purple phenotype. I really hope it does!

Pyramid auto purp auto nyc and holygrail69 non auto

Week 2

Growth is getting faster and faster! Nice tight internodes and 7 finger leaves already, no signs of flowers yet.

Looks great. Following this

Due to being grown alongside a photoperiod plant she is now under 12/12 lighting. Anyone with experience in autos know to what extent my yield is likely to be affected? Bearing in mind she is a cold climate outdoor auto so probably shouldn't be under 24 hour light anyway?

Week 3

Started to stretch very fast recently aswell as eleven finger leaves coming still no signs of preflowers!

Shes an auto she needs no less than 16 hours to make colas really 18 .. she will bud under 12 12 but, just dont expect cola type buds.. She is very pretty to!! shame she has to go under 12 12 its like putting a photo plant under 8 on16 off.

In a fortnight I will be buying a tent with hps to flower my photo in. I can see myself moving her from under the hps to the cfl cupboard of a night time and back again to give more light, hopefully it won't be too late by then?

Give it a shot!

I'm assuming the most important weeks for light levels are the final ones?
