New Grower 1st grow - Girl Scout Cookies Auto

[Shantam]

Hi @Shantam here is my watering schedule that I used on my autopot grows. I prewatered the pots with 1.5L nute solution before putting in germed seeds, 5 days from sprout they get 500mls nute solution poured in a ring away from sprout, 10 days 750mls-1L nute solution, 15 days turn on airdomes and 1L nute solution, day 20 turn on res and last top feed of 1-1.5L nute solution to make sure pots are saturated and bottom feed. Hope this helps.

@bushmasterar15 very useful infos for me ! this one and the other one on the airdome forum..

makes me more confident for the follow-up ..

I think i understood my mistake: why it did not grow fast until now.
I have a controller for temperature-humidity-negative pressure. And when the conditions are okay, it makes the intake fan to work very very slowly, even sometimes it doesn't work at all. So i think there was not enough fesh air coming from outside.

Now the stem looks stronger and it looks like it's growing faster.
If i compare to the one of @bushmasterar15 my plant looks like his own of 14 days.. so i lost 10 days. But i learned.

Normally I should put on the autopot tomorrow but it's still wet around the stem, so should i wait a bit more like 1 or 2 days untils it's dry around the stem ?

So pics of day 24..

I think as new growers we worry so much. I have made mistakes and my girls are still plugging along. Your girls are going to be fine. At day 24 I think they look fantastic. Keep at it.

 

[Shantam]

Yes definitely I worry too much for sure ! any little mark on leave i think there are red spider around.. so thanks for your encouragement @Sit a Spell !

So on day 25 i finally give some nutes and turn the autopot on with 5 liters inside.
I give 1 liter each pot from above, last top feed to make sure pots are saturated like @bushmasterar15 adviced me.

The nutes per liter (well a little bit less in fact due to the small size i preferred not to give too much)
Voodoo 1,5 ml
Cal-Mag Xtra 1,5 ml
Rhino Skin 1,5 ml
Bud Candy 2 ml
AN Grow A+B 3ml

And today i was surprised to see the way they grew.. nice !
Temperature 23° and humidity 50%
I'll try to correct the humidity so that it'll raise 60%

i'm already happy to have reach this point, they look beautiful !

They look great. No worries from what I can see at all. Going to be some quality smoke. I am running it again in the fall myself.

Have fun and good luck. I will be watching

 

[Shantam]

Thanks @MedCzech and welcome on board !

Tonight day 28 I just added 10 liter of nutes so by liter :

Voodoo 2 ml
Cal-Mag Xtra 1,5 ml
Rhino Skin 2 ml
Bud Candy 2 ml
AN Grow A+B 3ml

I think the next feed will be for the flowering cycle which should start at day 35 if my informations are corrects.

I'll try to stay at around 55% - 60% humidity.

I just have 2 cobs on and still wait for my plants to grow more before i add the 2 other cobs.

If something is wrong do not hesitate to tell me i'll appreciate !

 

[MedCzech]

Seems like a lot of feed that early on, but they look good. Rock on and keep going I guess man! Can't see any reason to change anything.
You can wait on the other lights until she is in second week of flower and she will start to stretch. They look nice and healthy right now. RH also good. I use this chart to help balance my RH and temp so the plants are optimized for the stage they are in.

 

[Shantam]

i didn't know that chart, very useful thanks ! so as my temperature reaches 23-24° i raised the humidity to 65%.

For the nutes yes i was a bit confused between what Hansbricks made here and the advices on the site of AN nutrient.. Anyway looks it works until here..

I'm curious to see in how many days they'll drink that feed of 10 liters..

 

[Shantam]

My spider mites suspicion is confirmed.. i saw some dark spot under leaves.. so i treat today with Neem and from tomorrow i'll use this receipe that works extremely well to what i heard:

25 cl watertap
2 spoon of olive oil
1/2 coffee spoon of black soap
3 coffee spoon of lemon juice
to shake well before use..
