Hello everybody, i've got an 11 day old Feminized Auto Pineapple Kush growing in my closet i got from http://marijuana-seeds.nl/. It's growing under 4 cfls: x1 110watt, x1 60watt, and x2 40watt (all of which i keep on 24/7), in Miracle-Gro Organic Choice potting mix i got from Home Depot. i don't know the size of the pot, or how much soil it has, but it's less than 16qts. the soil dries kinda fast, i've watered it about 3 times since day one, and probably will again today with 2-4 cups of ice mountain water. i don't know ph levels and temp is probably between 75-85 degrees fahrenheit.

i've got three pics: the first pic is from day two when it sprouted. the stem is brown. the next two pics are from today and the stem is completely red! it started around day 5 or 6, working its way up from the base. i have no idea what it could be and have looked on many websites for answers, but have found none. i'm hoping it's a normal thing for PA Kush. if someone could help me out or give some advice it would be much appreciated! thanks in advance!

I think it's nothing to worry about bc it's a baby and very green kinda small tho IMO but don't worry. Check out the nutes thread on here it lists a lot of deficiencys and maybe that will help you but looks healthy other then that :)

What do you mean " ice mountain water "? seems to me water temp should be room temperature, at least not cold, or am I reading it wrong?

if I were you i would try to watch out for the MC mix's, Ive never really preferred using them for cannabis, its got allot of acidity and a s*** load of wood chips lol, Id go with something with allot more drainage too, MC=Super Shitty Drainage unless you add perlite or something along those lines

not sure on the red stem other than it is normal because she looks pretty good. i would repot her and bury that long stretchy stem--bury her up to her cotyledon leaves and lower your lights so you don't get so much stretch :joint:

I'm no experts on autos, as I'm currently on my first also. But for 11 days old she seems kind of small. I also had one kind of sprout and do nothing for a week. I killed her and replaced her an all is well in the same conditions. I have a 15 day old Amnesia auto. View attachment 2898081
