Newbie grower and very excited

Hey everyone first of all, how cool is this community!

So I finally bought my first shipment of autoflowering seeds 10 Hindu kush and 20 sweet tooth!

I started by germinating all of them and planting them into 1 litre pots that contained soil-les mix. And letting them grow with sunlight.



First pictures about 3 days in.


then I grew them with sunlight for Another 5 days.



I decided to build a diy hydroponic dwc system and transplanted 6 them.

And now I'm getting worried with my leaves not looking healthy as before.

They are 12 days into the grow now.



Any advice please guys. Since I want to grow all the babies hydroponic

Thank you!

Looks like your roots are too wet and in need of O2

ya should of just started them in there finishing pots with them being AUTO`s

also hope you got plenty space and knowledge to look after 30 plants ,

Would it be a waste to transfer all of them to a hydro system? The current starting pots are quite small. ? Should I just transfer them into bigger soil mix pots?

Thank you for the advice

Just do in soil don't transfer any more u will probably lose them as ph is different from soil to hydro just stay with the soil

Thanks turbo! I'll keep em in soil. But I would like to grow all of them hydropically. Is there a safe way to transplant them to hydro, or is it highly not recommended?

Others may know better but probably start them in small rockwool cubes and they transfer the cube to hydro stones.

Great idea thanks! I think I'll try that. Will floral foam work?

Quite honestly I would just stick with the soil grow for now. There is no reason to try and shock them. They are autoflowers after all. You should be keeping them as happy as possible because they are on a clock and light schedules are irrelevant with autos. Next time around you can try for hydro. I'd recommend, for hydro, using rockwool or rapid rooters, the rapid rooters being the easier way. I've only ever grown hydro and I personally probably will never grow in soil unless its an outdoor grow. Good luck.

Thank you skeet! I kept them in pots I'll send pics a bit later to show u! What size pots transplant wil be the best?

Unfortunately, as I stated earlier, I really have only grown hydro, so not sure what you should do for pots. That being said, I'm seriously recommending you finish this grow in soil because you are growing autoflowers. You don't wanna stress those girls. They are on a ticking clock and you want to make them as happy as possible so they can produce some good root mass and give you what you want on top, the obvious eventuality being some fat, sticky nugs!

Wow u making me really excited now! Alright! Keeping them in the same pots. One more question. 2 of my girls having this problem, while the rest is really really happy.

May be a ph issue man but I'm not certain what I'd the ph level of your water when u feed

Are you using nutes? This last pic is twelve days into the grow? If you are already using nutes you shouldn't be using more than 25% of the recommended dosage. Hell, I'm running dark devil autos right now and they're ready for harvest... and they don't want more than 25% nutes. After my beans pop I don't use any nutes for at least two weeks. Those rounded leaves, the very first ones you saw on your seedlings, those are called cotyledon leaves. They have all the food a plant will need for its first couple of weeks. You really should not be using nutes until you're about two weeks into the seedling stage. Then it would be safe to move them either outside or under a bigger light. Here's a pic of what nute burn is. Do you think this pic looks similar to the last pic you posted? I've seen my girls do what your's is doing and be just fine. Just make sure you're not burning her up before she has a chance to acclimate.
