Autos - almost week 4 look how tiny why?

[Dontjudgeme]

So, should I supplement the water with every feeding with a 6-4-4 (see attached, I like the fox farm ones, but honestly open to cheaper alternatives).

That’s exactly what I use during veg if I bottle feed. But it’s important to also follow the feed chart. Because at some point you introduce big bloom during veg. Big blooms NPK ratios are relatively equal to what your soil currently has. My schedule goes as follows. Feed/water/feed/water,etc. The feed chart that fox farms has says to flush at certain intervals, I never do that. I just water to get enough runoff so I don’t have to do it.

Isn’t the HLG 100 kind of small for a 4x3? It pulls like 95 watts and that’s a little less than 8 watts/sq. Ft.

just like title, these things seem to be growing hella slow.

A little overwatered, wprking on that, but at most week 4 shouldn't they be bigger then this?

Hlg 100 v2 light 4x3 space temps 78- 86, rh 50-60

Crappy seeds should i toss em and start new autos?

How close is the light...it doesnt look that bright in there. Are you using any sort of root booster?

Light is 24" hlg 100w v2, no boosters yet.

I think far too many people hop into growing without doing a little research..Cannabis is not like growing lettuce.
As I've mentioned in the past, Autos are like race cars..Hard and fast to the finish.
Are you on 20 hour MINIMUM light? If not you're compromising potential from the start.

Did you transplant them? That too shocks them and stunts them as them as they are going to begin to flower in 3-5 weeks whether your ready or not..Photos, you simply delay when you flip the light period

Nods, had two of them in there and the tent got waaaaAy to warm. Might have to try it again.

What's way too warm? You wanna be aiming for 82f

Your lights are not close enough or powerful enough. Get them closer and like the other guy said... 18 or 20 hrs on

Oh like 86-88 too warm. I can deal with 86 if it won't fry them, may have to turn it back on.

growing medium looks bone dry, also you need more than 1 gal, its usually gal per month for soil. what exactly is the medium? you might want to fill them pots a bit more.

 

[Nefrella]

ok, so turned the other light back on, sitting at 88 deg. Venting currently into same room/some window exhaust at night due to the heat. Will just have to keep an eye on them. Ive grown in those temps before, just had to water more frequently.

Light is sitting around 20".

So, growing autos in 1 gallon (based on gallon per month of growth) is a waste? Has anyone sog'd in 1 gal autos?

Also, watered everone with the nutes, ffgb + cal mag, 6.5 ph.

Fingers crossed, thanks all for the input!

 

[MrToad69]

Growing an Auto in a 1'gal pot is not a waste..my restrict harvest a bit, but okay.

Copy, that's what I'm hoping for. They're just filling some space anyway

 

[Nefrella]

So at the peak of heat last night, we got to 88 deg. Apparently its not a deal breaker for these girls.

Everyone got doused with ffgb,calmag, and they're looking great this morning. *fingers crossed*

I may have missed this mentioned in previous posts but a plant that is started out in a container to large and is too wet will stunt the growth. Might try solo cups before going into the 1 gallon next time.

Nods, working on getting down my watering technique. Hopefully will get past the curve (hah, see what I did there lol) and do better

What seed breeder ?

BTW 1 gallon SOG is the SHEEZNIT with autos.
BKR strains , even White dwarfs autos , THC bomb are 3 perfect ones to run that way.

Excellent! Theyre Seedsman purchased, breader not sure (all the autos are freebies).

Thx for the recommendation will give em a look!!

They're looking better, fed, likely over fed them lol.
