    Hello was wondering if anyone can help I have 3 royal queen seed royal dwarfs autoflower they germinated fine in glass water then sprouted within a day or two I have had them under a 125w light at 18 on 6 off and will remain at this constant I am using coco soil I have a small grow tent from my local shop it's 50cm by 50cm by 100cm in height and have recently purchased a 300w dual cfl and have switched it for the 125w the seeds are now at day 13 and have started to go in a v shape towards the light I noticed they aren't that dark green and are looking a little pale I watered after one week when the pots felt light and have just watered again today as they were light the light was pretty close to them so I have backed it off an inch or so I also have 3 usb fans which come on every half hour so to cool the air I am waiting for computer fans to arrive to extract the air out. Can anyone tell me why there pointing up ???

  2. Leafs up ....shes loving it, ...leave down she's not liking it


    avoid over watering ....even over feeding autos, they can be difficult to get back on track

    thanks for the reply it looks like all 3 of my girls need nitrogen as they've started to yellow and growth is going slow I am going to feed bio bizz grow today to sort the problem.
     
  4. there is nothing wrong with them, they are thriving when the leaves point themselves up at the light so the leaf gets maximum amount of light on its surface and underneath, a lot of people don't realize that the under side of the leaf also likes light, use a white reflective paint or some kind of reflective surface to get light where it needs to go, everything looks fine, if they start to droop then you have problems, you should look into getting HPS light for flowering because those CFL aren't going to be enough warm spectrum light to grow dense flowers. 3 things you need to do - leave the fans on all the time to increase air circulation, get HID lights, increase tent size.
     
  5. Praying leaves = WIN
