A 8L is really big for an Autoflower, I would go with a 3 gallon. Maybe you heard transplanting is bad for auto’s, but one gallon for every month of life is a decent estimate. My first auto grow in 10 gallons didn’t produce a lot because the plants are on a schedule to veg, you can’t veg them fast enough to fill an 8L pot in only 3-5 weeks before flowering begins. The roots don’t get enough oxygen right away in a big pot, so they grow slower. If it keeps stretching, get a little CFL bulb and a clamping reflector light. The light clamps to anything and you should be able to set It up in your cupboard. Worst case, unscrew the clamp and it’s just a hanging lamp now, you could tape it by the cord and hang it over the seedling. The CFL bulb is great for young plants and is all the light they need as long as you keep it WITHIN about 6 inches of the seedling! You can get real close with the CFL and even use it for the first week or two instead of your LED to save on energy $$ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My 8L pot is only roughly 2 gallons the 3 gallon pots are roughly 11L But yeah I did think about cfl lights but not really into them right now I might get a couple after a couple grows but for now I am sticking with the led
Whoops I got confused, liters to gallons. Yeah 11L is perfect I’m using 25L for photos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I got a freebie with my order from alibongo so decided to use that first for the experience it's heavyweight seeds fully loaded auto The description for it sounds really positive anyway
Day 6 now were getting bigger with more growth coming in nice sitting at 47% humidity and 23.7°c gave her some root nutrients on day 4 but I don't think it went very well as the leaves look different and the second set looked almost Brown when it started so I don't think I will be adding anything else for a while only fresh tap water the 3rd set that's starting looks pretty green so I think and hope it's going to be ok

Day 8 Only feeding water seems to be doing ok and the damage done looks to be very minimal the only problem I seem to be having at the moment is keeping the temp down checked this morning and it was at 29°c and 42% humidity as such I have managed to get it to 25.4°c and 50% humidity
Day 11 Growing faster each day with new growth forming nicely on top and inbetween temps are ranging from 25 to 28°c with lights on at 2 ft away from her recently upgraded my fan aswell which has helped keep temps down a bit was up at 32° on Friday lol
Day 15 Looking nice and healthy I think seems to be growing nicely and leaves getting bigger I have never trained a plant before so this is definitely a new experience I am going to try some LST on her so I have bent her over at the top being careful not to do any damage does this look right or atleast on the right track to training any help would be beneficial
Day 27 from sprouting big difference from the last post temps are still around the 28° mark and still under the 300w meizhi led and feeding with phostrogen all purpose plant food with micro nutes every 3rd feed Think it's just starting to show sex as of yesterday as I think I slowed her down a bit by taking a few bigger fan leaves off that wouldn't tuck anymore
What a difference 4 days can make now on day 31 from sprouting still feeding phostrogen all purpose plant food with micro nutes and tap water temps are going up to 29°c again but think havin the heatin back on in the house is causing that Scotland's weather is a bit pish no to but Sent from my SM-G930F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Day 53 for the big bitch today been a while since I updated she's now at 18 inch tall and lots of growth defo hit a stretch in the last 3 weeks since she started flowering Had a few problems with nutrients till I sussed out what was wrong with her but still feeding phostrogen every other feed an plain tap water and think I have corrected the problem Overall very happy so far Sent from my SM-G930F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
