This is my first grow so I went with stardawg autflower. It is now 20 days old and it is very small. The temps have been around 71-82 degrees with 50-65% humidity. Soil PH is steady around 7.
Probably needs better light.This is my first grow so I went with stardawg autflower. It is now 20 days old and it is very small. The temps have been around 71-82 degrees with 50-65% humidity. Soil PH is steady around 7.
Using pro mix organic medium, only fed twice with alaska fish, 600w LED grow light, using distilled water. I had low humidity for awhile, between 40 and 55 until I added an air cooler. Now it is between 66 and 70 humidity.How small is small? I have an auto that didn't start flowering till day 45. Break it down for us, planting medium, lights, nutrients or fertilizers?
I'm not seeing any signs of powdery mildew nor spider mites.... Believe me you'll know when you have mites....My simple opinion is that you're looking at a very very slight nutrient burn and that's common with plants in the early vegetative stage.....It's the equivalent of a newborn baby eating whole foods when their stomachs can't process that just yet it's no different than a newborn plant not being able to process the nutrients it's absorbing. So far so great and my tip would be to allow the plant to show you what it needs... The only real issues people run into with autos is root rot and the occasional overdose of nitrogen (Dark green + Clawing) Your girls look nice and healthy. Just let them be a plant.this is a close up of one of my leaves, do I have spider mites? Or is that powdery mildew?

That's a Folgers coffee can(bucket its plastic) I know that lip anywhere.whats with the pot?
Yeagh it was makeshift pot, I got impatient and planted one seed instead getting my setup right firstThat's a Folgers coffee can(bucket its plastic) I know that lip anywhere.
That couldn't be any more wrong. I always transplant autos. I would never germinate in a final container, that doesn't promote proper root ball growth.Auto in coffee can = smaller plant.
First initial 4-5 weeks , autos have limited vegging time ( setup rootmass , structure ) .
Not sayin it won’t get some size but is now constrained to that size you used. Once auto senses some rooting issues ( confined) it will move to next phase ( sexing out / preflower ) based on its environment. Nothing you can do to change that.
People saying not to plant in final ( larger ) sizes from germ are wrong ....

how does a smaller pot promote better root growth?That couldn't be any more wrong. I always transplant autos. I would never germinate in a final container, that doesn't promote proper root ball growth.
What does being your first grow have to do with choosing to grow an Auto? They're no easier to grow than a photo. The only thing an auto does is flower on it's own. And these days there are many growers who's auto's don't even do that from all the crappy genetics out there today.This is my first grow so I went with stardawg autflower.
