I'm new to the growing thing and today has been 5 weeks since I planted my seeds. My plants are about 2 to 3 inches tall and I'm running a bubbleponics system that I built myself. The only nutrients that I'm using is Dyna-Grow. I have a bag of Co2 in my box as well. Temp usually runs around 90 degrees in the box so I have a small fan that blows on the plants during my 20/4 light schedule. How do my plants look and when can i expect them to move into the flowering stage ? I'm using feminized auto Blue Mystic.

I have a 4 inch computer fan running out the back, my box isnt very big and it's made of plastic lined with aluminum foil. i've been reading that maybe replacing the foil and maybe spray painting the interior a flat white will help with the temps ?

yeah aluminum foil bad.... either way looking good

you can put them into flower anytime you just have to plan for the plant to double or triple in height
i'd keep them in veg the whole grow 18/6 at least you'll be glad come harvest time:)

even with them being an auto flower seed ? i thought the light cycle didnt matter and didnt have to be changed with those ?

What is transperation ? My hydro container holds just over a gallon of water and i'm finding that i have to add about half a 2 liter of water to it every day

You probably need to add so much water because your temps are a bit too high. Try dumping the foil and getting a better fan.

  2. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts especially from leaves but also from stems and flowers.

It's looking good OP. As others have said see if you can lower those temps and/or increase the airflow. As for your original question: It's an Auto, so it will flower automatically, you don't need to adjust the photoperiod. As for when they will flower it fully depends on the strain, assuming your growing the Nirvana Auto Blue Mystic the flowering period is 5-7 weeks, thugh they dont mention the veg period or total growth time which is somewhat unusual for autos. I would guess it's gonna start to flower pretty soon it it's been 5 weeks allready. I don't want to be critical but it looks pretty small for 5 weeks, so maybe this is slowing its flowering down a bit...
