How we lookin?

[Octoliba]

This is my first indoor grow!

kind of a budget built tent.

relatively inexpensive Amazon lights, eBay exhaust blower, basic oscillating fan really nothing too absurd going on here.

using fox farms ocean something soil
Will prolly start adding nutes in a couple weeks

what do y’all think ?

 

[DrOgkush]

Your not gonna need nutes for a while it seems. Your starting in a rather large pot for seedlings. Be careful not to overwater. Large pot small plant. So be less is more. Let that soil dry.

Thank you!
I’ve been watering daily, between the 8 pots I use like a gallon. I’ll hold off for now and let the soil dry up some!

 

[DrOgkush]

Yeah bro. That's way way to much. Let em dry up. At that size. Watering should prolly be around once every 3 days or so

As DrOgKush said, pots way too big for seedlings. They WILL grow, but will add about 1.5-2 weeks to your veg. I just made this mistake going straight to 5 gal. They caught up, this is them 114 days total, 26 days flowering (we had enviro issues early that added probably another 1-1.5 weeks)

Your FFOF should coast them for a couple weeks from what I understand as it is considered a 'hot' medium. Someone who uses it could offer some advice, but as DrOgKush pointed out, you won't need nutes for quite a bit.

sweet dude those look awesome!
The reason I did them right in the final grow pot is that is what the dude I got the seeds from said to do. These are LSD autos does it make a difference that they’re autos?

Maybe if they're autos. They could be prone to transplant stress. Big pots do grow big plants so that could be part of it since autos are generally smaller.
I've seen one month on here a few times as the length of time to give them water in FFOF.
Stop watering daily; do it only when the pots get light then water thoroughly with some runoff. It's a little harder with big pots cause they stay wet for so long but keep some air moving and don't let the RH get too high and they'll drink it up.

Thanks for the input! Definitely reduced my watering a ton, I still check everyday and when it looks dry dry I may moisten it up some but nothing like I was.
Any advice on the lights? Since they’re autos I’ve just been leaving em on 24/7. Is that a bad idea or should that be alright?

I do not grow autos myself, however, in my humble opinion every plant needs some dark or "sleep" period. I have buddies that run autos on 20/4 (20 hours on and 4 hours off) or even 18/6 (18 hours on and 6 hours off) with very good success.

Good luck brother.

I've never grown an auto but here's a link to the best one I've seen on here. I like giving my plants some dark too, but hard to argue with results like this. https://www.rollitup.org/t/got-some-strange-lightning-issues.1048175/

Just an update. I’m at 16 days.

ffof soil.
Cheap Amazon lights LED on 24-7.
Nothing but water so far.
Prolly start adding some nutes maybe next week? Just a couple times a week or so?

whatcha think!?

Depending on your water source, I wouldn't add anything but maybe some fulvic acid or yucca to water right now, but that also is my personal preference haha! That FFOF should carry your plants as far as a nitrogen deficiency showing which will be super easy to spot and even easier to correct. Don't be fooled into nutrient burn which happens far too often and mostly because of impatience. Let this plant tell you what they want! If you see beautiful healthy plants with vigour growth each day, and good structure let them be. Until something changes, that's when you change eh! Also from what I know the bits of bark/wood actually hold onto nutrients and will release them in a slow way as water flushes them out.
