Two Alien V Triangle F2 and two Ripleys OG, both about 1 week from seed. Two of my last autos stunted and I started them in the pots they were meant to finish it. I think it happened because they fell to one side and I tried supporting them with lollipop sticks and string. I must have ended up stressing them. I made a decision to start them in solo cups this time as it is much more managable for fragile seedlings. So far they look way better then starting them in the pots. They will be transplaned to 3 gallon grow bags in 5 or 6 days. If I fail...I fail in front of everone. I know others do this with ease but I'm a relative newbie.

I start mine in a wet wash cloth put me n a warm dark cabinet then put sprouts in peat cups singally then at around ten days final because peat pots you can either rip the cardboard like material away or roots will just grow right through it.

You know,it's one thing to talk with people who share the same interests as you online, but it's a totally different when you are actually around these people and interacting with them... I would love to have came up around you cats and learn this shit first-hand... I am honored to have been able to "get green"with you guys and girls, even though there are more guys than girls...Now, with that being said,is this plant too big for this pot???15246152185941546449098.jpg

That plant is fifty days old,dawg!!! I don't want it to end up being a male and messing up my autos!!! It's crazy... that plant I thought was dead, I was pissed cause at first there was two of them and I over fed them and I thought that they were both done for... I took the one out that I knew for sure was dead,but the other one (the one in the picture obviously) I just didn't want to let go...it came back like Rocky Balboa, but just like Stallone, it's really short... I think that it's growth was stunted and it's way behind where it's supposed to be right now... I don't know what I should do with it... I'm sorry,I'm just rambling on about this,but I don't want to get rid of it and it ends up being a female... well I don't mean get rid of it but take it out of the tent... I'm more concerned with the autos cause I know what they're supposed to do. Mass confusion is the state that I'm in!!

I haven't got experience with indoors but all I have right now are autos outdoors. I know its not worth cloning an auto but if its a photo can you clone it and put them outside or can you put this plant outside?

Or leave it in there and since the autos flower no matter the schedule drop lights to 12/12 until it sexes in there then put lights back where they were or higher to compensate for what they lost like I said idk man just trying to help you think lol

That's what I'm doing... the main reason I won't put it outside is because it might get eaten by a variety of animals...Human and nonhuman!!!

Also its a task especially with many but with my auto I grow out in a cage for that reason but I do photos until they are root bound in a 20 oz Styrofoam cup painted camouflage when they about 2 feet outdoors most the time mine don't get messed with but its a chance which is also why I bought some cheap rolls of fence making homemade fence sticks pretty sturdy and this is first time I grew in several years.it got so bad where I used to live people know me there and what I was about and that work is too damn hard for anyone to sleep in the woods just to snatch your shot watching you a little at a time
