New Grower Super Skunk Auto concerns

[NoobGr0wer]

hey, so this is my first time posting, and also first time growing.

I’m growing 5 autoflowering sensi seeds super skunk in a grow tent under a Mars Hydro 300 LED.

I’m using 10 litres pots, and all the plants seem to be doing well, there is 1 plant however that is just staying very short.

They were planted on the 4th of Feb and are on a 20/4 light schedule.

Is there anyone who can advise me, what I can do to find out why 1 of the plants growth has been stunted? Or if it has been stunted at all? Perhaps it’s just a late bloomer.

All advice welcome!

Also I’d like to know when LST should be started, and also if pinching lightly is a good idea?

Hey bro

Welcome to The Forum, I'm sure we can be of help if you'll post up a few pictures.

I'm an extreme n00b as well, but I'll wager a bet people's first questions will be how they're being fed and what, what kind of medium, etc.

edit: well shucks, bet lost. Anyway, still seems like pertinent info.

as jingo says a pic or 2 will do wonders in helping you also its very common to have a slow one or a runt but sometimes they will be your best plant at the end

Thanks for the response guys, okay so the medium is a soil mix, it was premixed specifically for the use of growing cannabis, but it came as part of a kit for 5 plants with my tent, I think it said light mix, but my partner through the packaging away when I was at work, I thought I had a picture of it but can’t find it.

The pots were flushed with ph water before germination, and left for 6 hours for air pockets to fill up, then seeds were planted and pots covered with clingfilm to create a humidity dome. The lights were turned on at this point on a 20/4 light schedule.

After around 4 days perhaps, maybe 5, I removed the cling film as seedlings has sprouted. The small one was small at this point. Day 6 I watered again, around 2 litres for all 5 plants being careful not to get on leaves or stem.

I watered the same way Day 7, then on day 8 I started 2ml grow nutes in 1litre if water, and this I felt was enough for all 5 plants. I wa concerned regarding over watering so, I felt the plants didn’t need any water day 9, as I lifted the pot and also took some dirt from a few inches down and tested for moisture on some paper towels.

Day 10 I gave 2 litres of water with 4ml grow nutes, day 11 4ml grow nutes with 2 litre water, then day 12, no water, day 13 is today, and I have attached some pictures.. you can see the small one, then the average size of the others.

Also I should add my nutrients manufacturer is plant magic and the recommended dose is 3ml per litre. I plan not to water today, and then water tomorrow 2 litres with 6ml grow nutes.

It sounds like a lot of water at this early stage but the plants look healthy. I go by weight of the pot so as not to overwater.

So I was intending on leaving without water until tomorrow evening. At which point I will give them 2 litres with 6ml of Grow nutes.

Do you think I should wait longer? Or should I water sooner? I’m very new to all this so all advice welcome

If you are growing in coco it is ok you do not want coco to dry out (causes pH swings) . In soil I wait until the pot feels as light as it was before moistening soil .

biobizz lightmix perhaps ? a popular soil choice in eu.is this 2L/plant or between the 5 ? if you have a spare pot and soil to pot up and leave dry will be a big help to what a light pot feels like.
one is only a lil smaller than others,not as far as stunted or runt i feel.at this stage all looks well.
