1.Are you growing from seed or clones?
From seed, Buddha seeds autoflower assorted mix. It could be White Dwarf, Red Dwarf, Syrup, Deimos or an experimental hybrid. All autoflowering, finishing between 55 and 85 days.
2. How old are your plants?
10 days from sprouting from soil, about 13 since germinated.
3. How tall are your plants?
A bit more than 1 inch.
4. What size containers are they planted in?
I planted directly in a 3.5 gallon container.
5. What is your soil mix?
30% compost, 20% earthworm humus, 15% peat moss, 20% perlite, 15% vermiculite. Bought from a growshop.
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?
Tap water. I just watered once with a syringe (15 ml), as the soil has some humidity which I can still feel in the first 2 inches with my finger.
7. What is the pH of your water?
Between 6.0 and 6.5, measured with pH paper.
8. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined?
From sunrise till midday the plant receives direct sun, then indirect bright light till 5 pm, and then I turn on a 26 watt 6500K CFL till the next sunrise, so I´m on 24/0.
11.How close are your lights to the plants? About 1 to 2 inches, watching for a nice temperature (max 85F).
12.What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
Between high 50´s and 85F at most, and about 50% humidity (though it has came down to 30% a few times)
14.What is the pH of the soil?
Didn´t measure it, but bag says 6.5
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
No.
16. How much experience do you have growing?
2 or 3 grows, so not much. First time with autoflower.
So I´m kind of concerned because this plant has already 10 days and isn´t growing as fast as others I had (regular bag seeds, not autoflowering), plus I see some purple in the leaves as you can see in the pictures. I contacted Buddha to ask whether it could be the strain, but they told me that it wasn´t likely. They suggested me it could be a low temperature problem, but I´m not sure as it never gets colder than 55F. So I have 2 questions:
1) The apparent small size of this plant (the distance between the tips of the first true leaves is about 1 inch) could it be due to the fact that it´s an autoflowering strain? Do autoflowering strains grow slower than not autoflowering in general?
2) What could be the reason for those purple stains?
Thank you very much!!!
