Autoflower

[DJK 81]

Hello everyone.

Hoping to get some input. These autoflowers are are 3 days old and bending a little can someone explain why this is? I’m a little worried. Thanks

3 auto-flowers in 15ltr pots.
Coco peat with 30 % perlite
Have a 650w led on 50% power 3ft from seedlings
Temp is at 22 degrees Celsius
Rh is at 55%
Airflow seems ok
Soil at correct ph
And watered with correct ph
Giving them 50 ml of water per day at present.
any advice appreciated. Cheers

1. Coco isn’t soil - don’t treat it as such.
2. Seedlings are stretching “ for light “ ….. bring light closer

Ok thanks, how close should they go?
It’s 650w full spec led. And have got it at 50% power

Replant Those Long Stretchy Stems ( Its Easy )

This is just to show you how easy it is to bury those long stretchy stems , After you replant them make sure you lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch I do not have a pic of one of those seedlings with the long ass stem reaching for a light that's 2ft high But i got this one...

Why'd you put them in an enormous pot?

That's the first issue.

Second is you giving them water.

Third was already stated, they aren't getting enough light they are stretched.

There's nothing wrong with starting in a bigger pot. The main thing I'd do in your case is to give them more light. Coco looks pretty dry, but the plants look fine except the stretching looking for more light.

Ok thanks. It’s a full spectrum true 650w led
I’ve got it on 40% power and have moved it 40cm from top of seedling.
I’ve been watering them 50 ml phd water a day they are three days old.

Coco has no nutrients in it. You need to feed it.

 

[DJK 81]

Surely you can’t feed it nutes after three days…..

They are too tall dont worry they will grow a little bit more and fall to the ground from weight

If its coco more than 50% no normal dirt you have to feed daily

Why is it that no one can give a straight answer on this site….

 

[DJK 81]

Or a definitive one….

You all say what’s wrong, but nothing to help…

I don’t have no experience with coco so cannot help with that other than it’s a mostly inert medium.
Secondly i sent you a link to show ya how you can help them long stretchy stems! Looks like you have plenty of room in them pots to add some medium up top so they don’t flop over. I’d say that’s pretty good advice!
Also I am a new grower myself and this site is just another resource of many.
Most growers will point you in the direction you should go… but ain’t nobody gonna give you a ride.

Looks like you did get some ideas on what to do, like someone said move your light closer, someone else told you your coco needs nutes.

Yes you can.........and should.
You made it difficult on yourself by starting in such a large pot.
Contrary to what you were told.........autos can be transplanted without issue.
Maintaining the proper moisture level in such a large pot will be a challenge until they have an established root system.
I would completely saturate it with a very light nute solution.......after a few days start feeding around the perimeter of the seedling daily until the roots are established.
Never give plain water.
Never, ever let coco get dry.
Start feeding daily to run off once the roots are established.........twice a day in flower.
Good luck.

Well give more data and we can help. You have no light soo i wonder how to fix it hmm maybe lower thr light or increse i tensity.
Or maybe you want somebody to come to your house and do it for you. I read the whole tread at least 5 people told you whats wrong and how to fix it
