Yea photos in veg for sure; just wasn't sure with these Autos since it's my first Auto grow. For now I'll keep running 24/0
I haven't run 24/0 yet I do run 19/5. I hear mixed reviews on straight light besides the fact it cost more. Give them a break

DAY 20 Auto Blue Cheese

Well time for a photo update I'm having a few issues and I'm pretty sure stunted growth I'm having different "symptoms" with each plant, but I believe the two 20 day old plants are stunted. I've done some lst and keep my lights between 12-18 inches away the leaves seem off colored and a few leaves have small rust colored holes. I've used neem oil since week one I've only used it lightly on two separate occasions I've never seen signs of bugs and don't think it is bugs I've also disinfected the tent twice with warm water in a spray bottle with antibacterial soap and "On Gaurd" Doterra Essential Oils. I'm stumped lol I use cal mag as well as advanced nutrients Grow, and B-52 all at half strength. PH has been high around 7-7.5 up until the last week I've dialed it back in to around 6-6.5. Temps never higher than 81 and never lower than 68 except today I shut the lights off for only one hour just to see and it dropped to 60. Humidity between 35-55. Any advice is much appreciated!

These are the Ak Auto only difference is there is more coco coir in the soil mixture and it's in a smart pot and under the 300w (135w) Blurple 50x6w LED also no Lst. This plant seems stunted for sure it has no holes in the leaves and a different color then the cheese, but the leaves are clawing or curling up really bad... they have been since the beginning and only have gotten worse.

DAY 8 Auto Blue Cheese

And my baby haha. She seems very good I think under the huge 6000k 105w CFL about 6 inches away. I gave her a "real watering" today with 1/8 strength cal mag and grow nutes. Hope it's not to early, but I waited longer with the other two and think that may be part of the problem with the AK for sure...

the curling up of the leafs like that means it's too hot for the girls at least for there genetics or the light is too close! either way I'd raise the light up a good 6-8 inches , my girl actually just started doing the same btw lol

No problem, They're still young so they can only take in so much light at a time for now,
but as they get older you can keep the LEDs in the 12-18 range :lol:

Thanks again! Any more thoughts on my Cheese the bigger one? Check out the new pics i found some more deformed and maybe burnt undergrowth. Also notice the pic of the main stem that I ever so slightly broke 10 days ago that's still healing. That may have stunted growth, but the leaves truly have me stumped lol IMG_0518.JPGIMG_0515.JPGIMG_0515.JPGIMG_0512.JPG

the stalk will heal eventually and it will slow it down I'm sure !
and Could be genetics I've heard ,
but it kinda looks like a deficiency is showing on the tips. from what I could dig up also is it could be a ph issue

Ph makes sense maybe nute lockout because of the Ph is what I've found as well. My Ph was running high for a week or better. Thanks bro

What's up everyone day 25 here girls are pre flowering and showing their sex proudly! :) Lst and leaf tucking are working great they are so bushy and full! I switched my lighting to 22/2 lol I know it's weird, but in just 2 hours my temps drop from 75f to 66f and the first day I ran 20/4 they dropped to 59f eeeekkkk :/ so I found my happy medium to be 22 on 2 off and have been watering every other day one day 1/2 strength nutes and the next 1/4 strength nutes and so on. Using all advanced nutrients perfect ph line including GROW, B-52, VOODO JUICE, and Cal Mag! I'll post pics soon. I did a very small amount of defoliation to open up my canopy a little more. Had to start up my air purifier as they're really getting stinky in the best way!:bigjoint:

Well so far both girls seem to be doing good although the blue cheese is about twice as big as the ak which is weird because the ak germinated faster and broke through the soil faster? The cheese has been under the bigger light though I'm thinking about alternating them, but also thought it would be a cool experiment to see how much better one maybe than the other. So far still only using ph balanced water around 6.5 not sure when I'll add nutes and when I do they will be very diluted. Will be running advanced nutrients cal mag and humboldts veg and flowering nutes. This is my first auto grow and first led grow so I'm not sure what to expect but definitely hoping to get 3-4 oz per plant is that realistic? Thanks in advance for any input or advice.
Same setup is me excep I got a DWC grow I WANa know he hat the differences can be

haha no doubt I've been super anxious staring at them for 30 minutes at a time moving my lights around and fidgeting with everything. Definitely a fine line lol hopefully I'll figure it out sooner than later.
Lmao dude I been doing the same thing I think it's a beginners itch.
