    Interesting, I'm guessing this is fairly well advertised when buying seeds? So much more to learn!

    Help please - Are cold temps the reason for new growth going purple?

    First Grow so needing some advice please :blsmoke: This is easy bud RQS and best as my research is showing it doesn't grow purple at all My night time temps are getting too cold, I know this but I'm getting a heater today to lift it up a bit Is this simply a case of too cold causing purple...

    Royal dwarf auto

    Excellent information, thanks :blsmoke:I hated having a small seedling in a 15litre pot, made getting watering right so much harder until like week 2/3 Just read a lot of bad things about transplanting an auto Going straight into hot soil makes sense as a bad move, you wouldn't give a baby a...

    Royal dwarf auto

    Sine you're hear and you brought it up, does being in starter soil make such a difference? I went from seed > peat plug > regular soil with peat and perlite (I read autos don't like transplanting) Next time can I do seed > starter soil in small pot > final soil in big pot or will this be a...

    Royal dwarf auto

    Where do you live where you can buy special flower soil but not perlite? (I'd be willing to bet 100% of garden centres stock perlite, it's not expensive) :-| I'm sure you could germ a seed in a sponge, warm damp and dark is about all that's needed. I'd be worried about damaging the taproot...

    Plant as in plant and germ then take out and put into soil? Sponge as in bath sponge? As a first time grower, there are much more experienced minds on this thread, but I would say keep it simple for your first one. Regular potting soil with a lot of perlite added. And I used a jiffy pellet to...

    Reassurance needed - How is she getting on - Day 19 - Too short?

    Well 5 days later and she's really getting going with flower now! My night time temps are dropping a bit too low because the building was late turning the heating on (15 degrees at night!) Hopefully the high usage of Humic and Fulvic acids will help her tolerate the stress but I'm putting a...

    Good short auto.

    To me (as an uneducated new grower) from what I understand autoflowers flower when they're ready. Many people say they have an internal clock for flower, but I wonder if it's more certain conditions need to be met (So much leaf biomass, roots filling a certain space ect) The only reason I think...

    Good short auto.

    Does this make the plant take longer to mature though? I've spotted a few Autos being topped and there time from seem to harvest always seems to be a lot longer than just LST'd

    Good short auto.

    I'm enjoying growing easy bud from RQS (bought from seedsman) not got so tall but quite bushy, it's a dwarf strain

    I'm no expert but also growing a Dwarf strain, I really got the feeling if you create a good environment for them they'll focus on putting down a good root network then they go a bit nuts

    Reassurance needed - How is she getting on - Day 19 - Too short?

    Yeah I see the vast majority of grows on this strain are normally harvested at about week 12, it does make me feel a bit better about the harvest though, more time for those tops to develop ;)

    Reassurance needed - How is she getting on - Day 19 - Too short?

    This is gonna be the hardest thing about the whole grow :lol: :blsmoke: , the strain profile says 8 weeks from germ, but I think it's going to be a 2021 harvest, my plug getting one last Christmas payday before I vanish into the haze of home grown goodness

    Reassurance needed - How is she getting on - Day 19 - Too short?

    Hey man thanks for the advice, I was worried about the Blurples, all the info checks out and I gave myself such a headache picking them, but in the end off the advice of this thread I did upgrade to some CFLs to finish off strong and she seemed to respond really well They're day 33 now and...

    First Grow: Anything I can do to help this girl along? (Day 33)

    Good information to know thankyou :D I was thinking of building a CFL light board and mounting the LEDs to the wall as side lighting for next time, they seem to be decent for blurples but adding the CFL really took her to the next level

    First Grow: Anything I can do to help this girl along? (Day 33)

    Top man thanks for the speedy response! I have been tucking fan leaves out of the way a bit to expose more tops to the light, re: limited lighting, I was considering 2 plants next time, one photo, one auto, am I dreaming with my current light setup?

    First Grow: Anything I can do to help this girl along? (Day 33)

    First grow in a long time, thanks to advice from a lot of people here, she's doing rather well! Since she flipped to flower (Auto flower I guess that's obvious) I've fed her bio-bloom nutes once through the leaves once through the soil) and a fairly healthy dose of NPK 1:1:1, she's a deeper...
