    Hello everyone, so I have a Cream of the crop seeds Cash crop autoflower, I had one previously under a 600w mh light but it completely dried out I wasn't sure If I added too much nutes too quick or if it was the heat of the hps light, this time around I have my girl on a couple cfls and she seems too be doing ok so far, any input would be greatly appreciated :) I germinated her in a damp paper towel and planted her on the 8th, this is her now

  2. isn't that a t5 HO, I think I have that light ecaxtly :D.  anyway, looks ok, I have spent endless hours researching cannabis and growing and whatnot and there isn't an easy answer.  I would say, Keep it simple.  the imp. things that I bought to monitor the girls that helped the most, was a humidity/thermometer reader, and a TDS meter (total dissolved solids) and pH kit.  best advice is to know awhat goies in, for example I am using distilled water because my tap water had so much in it (to clean and whatnot).  so I know what I am putting in.  pH is major as well.  keep in mind I am also new and so far so good here.  I also killed first seedling with heat., and countered that with adequate ventilation and an oscillating fan IN the room (blowing over them but not on them).  so you are in the right plave, just read read :D let me know if you have any questions/comments and GJ
     
  3. Thanks greenthumb412, I am also using distilled water and my ph is I'd say about 6.5, this time around I will definitely do less nutes than the recommended dosage when I get to that point, btw it's in fox farms soil.

    under 5 23w cfls, doin' this grow as simple as I can get it, thinking waaay too much has made me screw up in the past, gonna get maybe a couple more cfls, the more light the better, I have a 1000 watt hps i was thinking bout using for flowering but I'm gonna get a 400 watt bulb instead so it's not crazy hot for my one plant, not sure yet if im doing cfl for the whole grow tho, i haven't fed her nutes yet still paranoid about nute burn, so yeah not really any other info, what u see is what u get, I've never gotten this far in a grow so I'm happy, I have like 8 more seeds so I can always improve the next grow depending how things go, peace and love everyone :)

  9. Looks fine so far Id wait on the nutes. But if your dead set on feeding now start at like 1/8-1/4 strength.

  16. Day 30
    Been so busy feel like I'm neglecting my lady, have some yellowing going on, I had 6 23w cfls and a t5 but noticed it was burning her so I turned off one cfl and the t5 now I'm down to just 5 cfls, I've only fed her nutes once (fox farm big bloom, not full recomended dose) and I'm thinking if I should switch to Tiger Bloom already, hopefully I can fix her :/

  18. Day 36
    Switched bulbs, now I have 5 2700k cfls and 1 5600k cfl +1 6500k t5... looking into more info on using black strap molasses I'm gonna give it a try, had plenty yellowing and a bit of light burn but seems to not be so so bad at the moment, smells pretty damn good too, I was looking at all my lady's negatives didn't see the great progress coming along, here are some flickas of her =]
