Sweet Seeds 1st Auto grow.

[Nosias]

I remember reading about coco and cal/mag deficiencies a while ago but simply forgot it. Any way the problem seems to be solved and almost in a day. New growth easily evident and things going greener.
Used the foliar spray with cal/mag several times and top watered with a stronger solution.
Glad my out of town work was cancelled so I could attend to this.
Will post again in a few days. Thanks

This is the quick change and new growth. 3 days and what a difference.

I still am unable, or unwilling to learn, how to care for the ladies in their first two weeks. This for ME is my most critical time. But thank goodness they grow in spite of what I do.

Been a while since my last update. Out of town work can be tough, but the plants don't seem to mind.
5 weeks since the seeds broke ground, growth has basically doubled in 10 days.
The CC is doing great and showing the most signs of early flowering.
The 2 NLX's being mainly sativa are taller and a little wider.
In my time away the lights went from 26" away to 19". raised the light to 22" as no light burn evident.
Temps steady at 25C and RH near 45%.
Slight nute burn on the NL plants but the Cream Caramel liked the nutrient mix.
Autopots did their job and things are going well.
Time to switch to the flowering blend of nutes soon I imagine.
Also time to get the carbon filter ready as it won't be long for the smells to build.
Will my 2x4 tent get too crowded? not there yet but hoping.

Used a foliar spray several times on both the CC and the untopped NL/MX#1. The NL did not like it as some leaves curled or cupped and some slight burn happened. The CC showed only the slightest ill effect. Either way am stopping the foliar use.
LST'd the topped NL/MX#2 and did a minor defol to all 3 plants with some leaf tucking where needed.
Growth is good and all 3 plants showing preflower signs.

Cream Caramel Day 36

NL/MX#2 day 38

Mixed up a new batch of nutrients with flowering in mind so the full line in the supercharger kit.
PH @ 5.65, ppm @ 1107.
Raised the CC and topped NLX to even the canopy of all 3.
keeping the light at 24 inches.
RH @ 40-45%, temp 25-26C.
new growth continuing and things going good.

 

[JohnEMad]

Things are going good. Plants are basically healthy and growing fast by an inch or more in height each day.

Cream Caramel is solid, well proportioned and the farthest along in flowering.
Only a light defol and leaf tucking.

NL cross with light defol and tucking too.

The largest plant the other NL cross has been topped and LST'd.

Day 39
Gave the ladies a trim to clear some fan leaves, lower sucker branches, and non performing small bud sites. That should give better air flow and light penetration.
Temp, RH, PH, ppm all stable.
New growth evident.
CC - 10.5" H
NL#1 - 15" H
NL#2 - 10" H

Thanks Apolo, Things turned around after the slow start for sure.
Day 42 today. Things are steady as she goes. Light trim today, Mixed a new batch of nutes.
Indeed, I may run out of room as fan leaves are starting to push the tent walls in all directions and I only have 14 Inches up top to raise the light from the current 23" above the plants.
CC 13" tall

NL#1 18" tall

NL#2 11" tall (topped)
