Well there hasn't been any stress I've put on her I know of. The box is light tight when its closed. I plan on growing mothers just wanna get my feet wet with this autoflower. From what I've heard you got to mess up pretty bad to screw up an Auto. Heres the pic of the lil root poking out the bottom.

Thanks bro! I'm trying, I know its early but I got a good feeling about this grow man!

I had to plant her deeper though. I was told that exsposed rockwool will get algie once you add nutes with the light and heat + humidity. So ya she wasn't set and I think shell be ok. May give her a lil molasses in her water have you done this before?

i onyl do molassis a week before i fluch and i only flush 3 days before i chop, go to lowes or homedepot and pick up alaska fish emlusion its in like a white bottle shaped like peroxide bottle, and i go with a tablespoon per gallon and continue using till i switch to flower, the stuff didnt do me wrong and it works great,, it will make your gorw area smell like th eocean when you water but an hour later its gone

Right on, someone said it would be good for the roots to use 1/2 a tspn per gal. What's. Your opinon on this? Did I ask you about humboldt countys own products with the lucs forumla yet? I just had some bong rips so sorry if I did.

hubolt county would have own lucs lol, like i said personal preference , everyone has there own opinion on it, and there no real data for it since theres so many strains and not everyone is growing with the same strain light, medium etc. so you have to wing it till you find out, but i wouldnt do 1/2 right away slowly buildup

Here's an update for ya guys if you haven't checked out my journal yet.

She's getting nutes now on day 20. Fed her today PH'd 5.5 Flora Micro 1.50ML Flora Bloom 3ml & Snow Storm Ultra 0.50ML. Starting off very low with the nutes and she seems to be liking it. I can smell her already when I get close to her with my face.



I've also got 2 more seeds germing now. Reserva Privada-Purple Wreck & Dinafem-White Widow!

I have no idea been wondering myself. Seen autos at 21 days much bigger. Its been 20 days since she's poped her had out the rockwool. Kinda worried now though. I don't know what's up.

She's got 2 42w-6500k's on her should be plenty for 1 plant I would think considering with CFL's you want 100-150 watts per plant. For 2 days she only had 1 42w-6500k & 1 23w-2700k. So maybe that did it but don't see how.

how close are the lights to the plant, iwould keep my light a few inches for a fw days and then put the light like 10 inches to get htem to stretch for a few days , and then move the lights back a few inches a few dys and so on to keep a good height but not too much stretch

I keep them no more then 2-3 inches away from her. I've always read that CFL's need to be right up on them and would be fine as long as their not touching.

yea but doing that will not promote any height growth because they dont need to stretch to get more light
