first grow autos under CFL

Hey rollitup I'm a new grower I've been reading rollitup for a while now and thought I should post. I decided I would go with autoflowering strains to reduce hassle and waiting time. the strains I picked to work with are: short stuff seeds Blue Himalaya (not diesel), delicious seeds La Diva, world of seeds Afghan Kush Ryder and a diesel Ryder. All have been grown from seed under 8 60w CFL (4 6500k 4 2700k) they were started in there finishing pots (3gallon) the soil I'm using is a peat and seaweed mix with perlite 50/50. the nutes I'm using are biobizz grow and have Bloom for flower and are now on day 21 all looking pretty healthy except the diesel Ryder which has massively stunted growth but wondering when they will start showing signs of sex and what you guys on here thought in general any comments welcome pics will come later .

here are the pics of my girls first 2 bare the blue himaya second 2 are the la diva third 2 are the afghan kush ryder and the fourth one is the diesel youll have to lol at the diesel

wait they came out in wrong order thatll teach me for not previewing first any way first and sixth pic are afghan second and third are blue himalaya fourth and fifth are the la diva and lastly the diesel.

You should start seeing sex organs in about a 1 week- 2 weeks

Thanks Spartacus

diggin the pink buckets
good strain choices aswell

Haha thanks I thought since there girls why not give them pink and thanks although since the diesel isnt doing so well I got another one for the next drop

do you let them dry up between waterings ? do your pots feel heavy ?

I'm currently watering them every 3 day's ish but the buckets feel light when I water then they are heavyish afterwards

updates if anyone is still interested its day 28 and everything is looking good, except for some patchy spots on one of the blue himalaya's fan leaves (i will upload a pic of it see if anyone knows what it is.) Even the diesel ryder is starting to look better except the fact its still tiny for its age lol. still no signs of flowering yet though. and heres pics the first 2 are blue himalaya, second 2 are aghan kush ryder, the third 2 are the la diva and then because they uploaded wierd its the diesel then blue himalayas ill fan leaves then diesel. let me know what you guys think

possibly a bug ive seen flies do that
is it just that one ?

Yea it has only been on that plant and only that leaf and I hadn't thought of that I'll have a check for any insects although I'm starting to think it may be heat because in my grow box it tends to be between 75 - 85 degrees over the last week because it's been so hot outside or won't that do that to the leaves. Thanks tekdc911

usually heat
makes the jagged edges curl up

thats a early heat stress sign
honestly those temps arent that bad
if it was outside it would be 90-100 degrees and growing
if it gets worse or spreads get as many pics as you can

could you possibly of pinched it against the container ?
im used to breaking branches and tearing leaves and not knowing
the joys of growing in a small cab
i made a ring to get one of my AKR's under control out of a coat hanger and tied it down split the stalk 2 directions
it was to late in flower and woody to be trying this close to the main stalk but emergency situation and little time to remedy it
so i mcgyver'd it and took a loss
more roots less branches cant turn out that bad i guess lost 4 nice branches but still have 8 plant was topped and supercropped
so it was hella bushy

Oh right awesome that's good to know it isn't the heat and I will do buy as far as I could see it's only on a few fingers of that leaf. I guess pinching it could also actually have been a possibility considering the pots get moved around when watering due to quite a cramped growing area. And damn bro sorry to hear about the akr but at least you managed to save the rest of the plant how'd it end up smoking if it's finished yet?

Thanks for your work. This looks very much like what I would like to try. Inspirational.

update time its day 32 and 3 out of 4 of my ladies have definitely started to flower and they are the Diesel Ryder, the Blue Himalaya and the LA Diva the Afghan hasn't yet started to show signs of flowering yet (as far as I can tell anyway.) on the downside of things though the Blue Himalaya decided it would get its stretch on and grow into my lights so the leaves on the top of her are a little crispy but I'm hoping that it isnt to much for her to recover from. also thanks Max Warp never had anything ive done called inspirational before big smiles from that comment youll have to hit me up when you do your first drop/journal and ill mosey on down. the pics are 2 Diesel Ryder, 3 of the Blue Himalaya first pic is just to check they are definitely pistils I'm seeing , 1 of the Afghan Kush Ryder, 3 of the LA Diva and finally another pic of the Afghan Kush ryder. sorry about the poor quality on the Blue Himalaya pictures the sun decided it really didnt want me to get a good pic of her.
