  • I am on day 4, and I am worried that my two plants are not growing properly. They are both really small
    I dont know if that is normal for this strain, or not. Like I told you before, I am using a grow tent from htg, with 250 hps at about 10" to 12" away from my plants. They are growing in 16 oz cups with FFOF. My light cycle is 18/6, and I am keeping the temps between (81 to 82) degrees F. I am not using any nutes, and I only water them when they look, and the soil feels super dry. On average I prob water one to two times during the 18 hrs, with 6 ph spring water. I have not measured how much water I give them, Sorry. any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks again!!!

i think you might just be tripping... Is this your first grow? I have never grown autos before....you shouldnt ask to much on day 4......give it a couple more weeks..you will see alot of progress...it takes a non-auto seed 1-2 months to become a nice size...you are fine so far....hps is not ideal for veg.....but for autos;...maybe they are?

Raised the ph. Thanks Blue. "Your my Boy Blue", "your my boy" lol sorry, Old School!! This is my 1st grow bubb, I am rookie . Thanks for the knowledge!! I know hps is not ideal for veg, but I read autos are pretty durable because they are ruderalis. Next time, I will start with cfl's for vegging, and light warrior for veg soil.

Go 18/6 the whole cycle with the hps you will b fine, or u could get a dual spec bulb even better, we was all rookies at some stage bro, ask as many questions on this site and someone will help

The fanned leaves on one just started to droop???:cry: Any ideas what may be causing that? I forgot to mention that I transferred them from small tree bark starter cubes (from HTG). I'm made humidity domes because my humidity is at 41% and the temp is about 81. I have the light about 14 inches above the plants, and raised the ph to about 6.5.

do sum reading on fedding the roots. roots are the lifeline of your plants. feeding roots and feeding plants are two different things so dont mistake my advice for saying u need nutes. try sum mycrohizal fungi or root tonic like rock supercharge or roots accelerator. the bigger the root the bigger the fruits!!!

They look thirsty, concentrate your feeds at the plant base, never ever let your medium dry out bro, listen to sacpirate, wat goes on in the roots will determine you fruits. Also if u can get your temp down you will find you humidy will raise, if not jus mist a transparent cup or container and place over you seedling, you will get 80-100 % humidity ( perfect for new borns) good luck with the autos bro.

Hey im currently running 2 Buddha PK autos... my seedlings looked just like yours dont worry
..theres not that many that have grown it so im in a learning track as you!
So far this is what i have learned....I currently have 2 phenos a nute sensitive one and one that loves the FFOF(with 3lbs of earthworm castings extra) soil. they are at 2 ft tall and at week 5 i just gave them their first feeding of grow big and tiger bloom at 1/4 dosage per gallon with tap water that i let sit for 24hrs...i really dont know my ph but i have the drops and ph is between 6.5 and 7
As far as autos dont start them in cups unless using a tier method. I made the mistake of doing that and i think i stunted the growth by a couple of days lol So my other autos i started them on 3 gallon nursery pot with FFOF Soil 3/4 way and 1/4 seedling mix and planted the autos straight into the pot My tent stays max 80 degrees and they love it as long as you mist them daily to make some humidity because the nute pheno gets heat stressed very easily and the edges rise. So far im loving PK auto and i just hope in the next weeks or so they swell up and fill in :lol:

  • I am on day 7. My temp is around 78 to 79 F. Both 16 oz cups are feeling pretty light! I have not watered either one of them since Thursday night. I upped my airflow, and I am still using domes for humidity. Here are some pics. The one that I was spazzing out on Friday night, is now not looking so helpless
    Would you suggest I go get some of that green light root stimulator at home depot to perk her up even more? Do you think I should water them at some point today?? I have not used nutes so far at all. Just my FFOF soil.​

    • Also, should I transplant plant#2 to its final home? I am using 3 gallon pots, for their final home. Like I said, it feels light, but damn round leaves have not fallen off yet???Or should I wait until I see the roots at the bottom of my 16 oz pot??​


    ?Thanks everybody!!!!!
    • :peace:






 
Yo guy hows ur pks coming along? And a lil tip when growing autos, always start them in there final home. Never transplant autos. It shocks them and stunts there growth and effects ur yeild alot. Plant em in no smaller than 3 gallon pots ( i use grow bags, easier to manuver) an let em grow. Also i think i have 2 diff phenos of the pk auto... Well goodluck an please update. Peace
