bag seed i believe is an OG kush. \ni germinated in the paper towel and they have been in the trays a week. when do i move them o a pot like the other one. for a dwarf autoflower do i need a big 3 gallon pot for them. also i know i need to go over my paint again. I am just waiting on the time to do it. I have used no nutes yet. when should i and what is a good brand? \nand the boxes in there are just to have the plant closet to the light. I built this box and did not think it all of the way through. as soon as i understand the process better ill invest more money.
If you are germinating in paper towel, you want to get it in soil and under a light as soon as it starts to sprout.
The answers to your questions depends on your set up. Can you describe what methods and equipment you are using?
Im using a 25x25x30 wooden box, 3 cfl lights, a fan and small boxes to keep the plants near the light! A blunt a day keeps the doctors away!
they look like they are stretching. how far away are the lights? and do not use nutes yet. i usually wait till i have three leaf sets, then i water with nutes once a week at about 25% strength.
You can do that any time. A 3 inch wide pot is best for starting seeds in my opinion It depends on the rest of your set up. For low light grows a 5 litre might be enough, for high intensity light grows a 15 litre will be worth using I couldn't possibly know without looking at it. It depends on the size of them relative to the pot and how much nutrients the soil already has in it. But as a rough guide when they get to about 6" you could probably add some nutes to your water. About a quarter strength of what's on the label. I love ionic grow & bloom myself but there are many good nutes out there
I switched the light. And still have it close. Ill post a pic of the light im using. A blunt a day keeps the doctors away!
Foxfarm is very highly dosed in nutrients. I would advise that every time you water the soil, pour a lot of water through it allowing lots of run off to dilute the dissolved nutes and flush some out. Don't water until the soil has properly dried out though, this can take a long time when your plants are this small so don't be tempted to water before it needs it
I've been growing autoflowers for almost 2 weeks and the weather when I planted was warm but dropped to the 40s and I feel the weather slowed the growth I have them under cfls right now, They were outside previously. Do you think the soil moisture has slowed root growth since the temps were low ? Could this also be possible why growth has been slow ? The roots have had enough water that they didn't have to expand ? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
You are probably better off starting your own thread mate, more people who can answer will click on it But over watering can slow root growth but not because roots don't have to expand, but because they can't expand due to them being suffocated. Marijuana needs a lot of oxygen to the roots so if you are over watering this could be your problem
I transplanted them into 1 gallon pots as they are a 6 week autoflower. What should i change about that i have going on. I have a t5 light up close, 2 cfl and a grow light from lowes in there now. Using fox-farm potting mix. Bottled water with a ph of 6. That was the 1st bottle i tested. I use the same brand m temp water so i figured it would remain 6. Should i recheck? I used a ph strip that came with my fishtank. A blunt a day keeps the doctors away!
They are showing signs of nute burn so it's worth keeping on top of that. You may want to look in to some better lighting at some point. But with the lack of height you will only be able to use what your ventilation will allow. I would aim for about 250 watts if you can. How many do you have burning at the moment?
Right now because i saw more stretching i only have the t5 light going A blunt a day keeps the doctors away!
