hi guys,

I'm growing my own plants now for the first time and I have some questions.
the seeds arrived 2 weeks ago and I immediatly started germinating them.

this is how they look like now (they have been above the soil for 9 days).

Please let me know what you think of them, if they look good or if they are stretched,...

thx!
 
I grew the photo version of this strains... very strong indica and lasts for ages :).. Keep the light as close as possible with a fan blowing in between them.... When are you planning on repotting them? You don't want autos to get rootbound which will slow their veg time and affect your yield. I transplanted my autos at day 7 to their final 3 gallon pots. here's pics of the autos at day 7 and day 17 , 10 days after transplant :) you can see they started growing really fast after repot. Personally I would re pot now into their final pot.

Your not suppose to repot autos. It stresses them which slows there growth which leads to less yield. The best pot size is 3 gallon. Use that from seed to harvest. Good luck gentlmen
 
I know but if you start with seedling soil and then transplant into plagron batmix. I didnt want to risk my seedling burning and that is why I repotted after a week once they were a bit established.

also started growing for the first time recently in a cupboard (3plants), planted the seeds 8 days ago after germination. have attached pictures, they are auto-flowering NLxlow ryder. planted them straight into the pots after germination from jiffys . using organic nutrients, so far have only used root grow. Also curious as to if the plants are too long or ok, and any other general growing tips? have been using CFL light 250W from the start, on for 24 hours a day.

is a fan essential? any help at all is very welcome. IMG_0457.jpgIMG_0458.jpgIMG_0459.jpgIMG_0460.jpg

Not right now. I've only put a fan on once for seedlings, depending on how far away the fan is, it nocked mine over, on top of that they were top heavy so no real good use there (:
 
^ there is light to that but i wouldnt bury your stems too deep because when you feed and water it will build up around the base of the stem and potentially cause stem rot, be careful and good luck

a bit small for 9 days The mistake you made was putting them into small pots It is recommended to put auto flowering girls into the large pot for the whole grow As they can shock very easily when transferring them. As I said a bit small but they will be fine if you re pot them into the pots you want them to finish in Good luck with your grow
