Hi. Well...basically these have been in pots now for about 10 days. (There growing a little slower than i expected but i think thats due to the SHIT english weather)
Im growing them in my garage under a sky light window. Seems a strange way to grow but it was only a test and its working so far. ive just put them in bigger pots because they was only in little farty pots. They was defo ready for a bigger pot. Soooo.:-
- Just wondering if there looking healthy ?
- Should i start nutes ?

yeah, lookin good i think (just a glance) but go ahead and start your nutes real low strenghth like maby 10% of regular dose. Wait a couple more days though before you start. let it sttle in at least that long and then start.

Totally agree with doser. No Matter how careful you areduring a transplant, a little shock happens to the plant. Once it's calmed dwon feeding can commence. Btw, not to shabby for a skylight grow.
 
looking good! know what ya mean about wether in uk! i'm currently doing my first grow and only 5 days ahead of ya (mine have more leaves but look around the same height in total though my first rtue leaves are literally at the same level as the soil)
I've subbed to ya thread be interestin to be able to compare as they grow up :) i have mine under cfl at the min and will be flowering under 600 hps with cfl sidelight :)

jus wondering btw what seeds did ya get? ive gone for world of seeds fem northern lights x big bud only done the one from seed but will be taking clones

cheers for the info guys, i was going to give them another week or 2 before giving them nutes but like you say, i wil start it off on a really really week mixture. JointMasterJay i got 2 Biodiesel Mass Autoflowering fem seeds but i also got 2 Burmese kush fem + 2 big bud seeds with my order. so i thought id plant to 2 kush aswell just for fun, after all they was free! on a downside to that , when i took the seeds out of germination and planted them i know know which seeds i put in which pot so.... i dno which plants are what lol. Opps :P

Thanks guys! any info on NPK would be great! what should i go for ? should i go for a stronger N to veg ? then a stronger P and K for flowering ???

Yes, stronger N in veg and stronger PK in flowering. I went with the FoxFarm trio, alongside KoolBloom and Molasses it should do the trick. Don't forget Superthrive for transplanting :P

Yes, a higher n rating for veg, p and k for flower. Just don't totally drop the n during flower, especially during early flower. That's a common rookie mistake, only second to over watering. Feed every 3'rd watering to start to. Increase nute ratios gradually. It's actually (if the plant is stable and healthy) if you over fert just a bit so u can see the limit for the plant. Now im not saying "dude make a paste out of your nutes and paint it on the leaves", but it is good to know where the cut off is for the plant. The plant will tell you what it needs and when, don't try to force it to your will. She will remain happy and healthy with care.
 
haha you orderd from same place as me then to get them free, lol i'm going to start off the burmese a few days into sept so when it gets going hopefully should be able to compare and figure out which of yours are what :-)

feed her with a balanced diet to keep it simple, and you will get good results. but to get great results; you should feed her with nutes that lean towards K the whole grow, feeding at half strength(900ppm-1500ppm) every other watering. any more or any less will result in small leaves and slow growth.
