    Hello all- this is my 1st grow and I would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism. I am growing an auto/fem Williams wonder. Total time including germ has been 12 days. My ppm is 150 ( started the nutes low) ph 6.0 ( I have RO water filters in house) water temp stays at bout 69f and the tent at 70-75. Here are some pics of my setup. Oh and I am just using flora duo nutes, nothing fancy.

    I have four plants in this tent one in each corner. I feel like at this stage they should be larger. Am I wrong?

  6. Looks great so far man. I would wait to add nutes around like the 3rd node. Then just raise it to like 300. Also after that  wait one more node to develop then top her. :)

    Ladies are coming along nicely. After fixing some light leaks in my Rez and adding hydro guard to my weekly changes things have drastically improved. I will never grow hydro without hydro guard again!

  8. Thanks Sade! I have already added nutes as the ladies are already 1 month old. I'm just bad about updating. Lol

  9. Oh lmao. They look great though really coming along. Don't top them automatics have only short life span. I'd definitley lst in future grows though. I love to lst because it is like taking care of a bonsai tree. The stems look crazy after awhile zig zaging all over the place. ha ha.
     
  10. Yeah I was afraid to lst this time around considering this was my first try at hydro and autos but maybe next run. I am tucking the leaves since my first buds sites are popping... Yay!

  11. I couldnt agree with you more. Unfortunatly my expierence with lst is limited to photos up to this point. How far can I go with lst on an auto? Everything Ive been reading thus far says open them up and tuck the fans only. Have you been successful with any supercropping or twisting branches on auto?

  16. Thats great news! Super helpful guy. Im glad I found this forum. I originally started using a different forum(THCTalk) and got banned for life.... over some bull****. Basically a member made a thread about doing a 20 plant scrog and he got banned because the rules for the forum state that you can only talk about 10 plants. So being from a state that allows me to grow 12 for me and 12 for anyone else that may need a caregiver I proposed a question to the mods. I simply stated that with the new laws popping up everywhere around the world and regulations being different everywhere why limit the conversation to 10 plants when its a forum that is used by people all over the globe? If someone is taking care of other people by growing for them and the grower is reaching out to the community asking for help so that he can better serve his people whats the big deal. For that I got banned for life. I wrote to the admin but never recieved a response. Pretty petty for just asking a question if you ask me.
