New Grower Am I doing OK? End of day 19, first grow, sweet mango

[cowboy]

Hi,

I'm new and have been working on my first autoflower (first plant in general). SWeeeeeeeet!
I have been doing loads of research and I "think" I'm getting the hang of it. Your in the right place
Since the start of this plant I only did research and haven't really asked for help.
Which unless something I can't fix happens won't happen either. Good but don't be shy, theirs no stupid questions, only dumb plants that don't listen to us smart growers.
Now I do want to get some input on how I'm doing since I wouldn't want to screw this up. (getting pretty attached to this little female) Sad but I left my gf for growing.

So...

I'm gonna tell you as much of what I've been doing as possible and show some pics.
Tell me what you think!

Ok I'm gonna start with the fact that I started with a REALLY cheap build.
- I use 2700K lights

• 47 watt till start of day 18 She will be under developed, but its ok. It is an auto so you are behind the eightball. Just get shit on lock down.
• 150 watt since start of day 18 Ballin,
• + I can open the blinds of a window for some extra light I would concentrate the focus on the 150w and getting the most efficiency from it.
• I do this since I sometimes am not at home and the lights are only on when I am (Parents.. They know but rules are rules)

- some soil I found in a big bag in my garden Your going to want to transplant to some fox farms or something mj friendly ASAP
- I only recently made holes in my pot since I was getting too afraid for rootrot (probably wise decision) Yes......
- I am using Green House Seed Co.: Power feeding (motherPlants) since day 1 without major problems.
- Transitioning to (mostly indica) flowering feed when needed
- a little fan I pulled out of a laptopstand (easy to plug into a USB charger)Make sure you really are MOVING AIR
- I also live in the same room as the plant = I stimulate her with music, youtube video's and some euhm.. other stuff might be heard.. coming from a surround system
- and ofcourse sweetmango autoflower(fem) I run DWC and a sterile room. So .. lollllll

Now I know this type of plant isn't optimal for starting since it's a new kind and this brings genetic problems with it.
but.. You know.. YOLO (I did not just say that)

Seems ok. I don't tie down the leaves, jusr growth... go slow with her. Maybe give her some recovery time before more lst. Get her healthy rather then getting your lst done right cuz your losing time before she starts floweinrg and you will yield more on a single cola of a healthy as shit plant then a plant with multi tops but grown at like 89 degrees, 20% hum and ph out of wack. My two cents. Gitter done man! Merry christmas

Seems ok...

haha, thanks for the comment! This post was from about 8-9 days ago have some new stuff and an update lower in the comments!

Just to respond to a few comments:
- I'm not afraid of stupid comments nor am I shy (on the internet). I just want to learn as much as possible from my own experience.
- Why leave your gf? Could've put her in your grow room with all the other females! = basically the same thing but can't f*** with the leafed ones.
- well I get what you mean she was a little under developed but she had an extreme growth spurt after the 150 Watt showed up and she's back on track now!
- my soil is fine
- air is moving!

First of all be Glad You have the Indica Dominant Pheno of the Sweet Mango. I did run Seedtests for Gh and i had the Sweet Mango in testing too. The indica Pheno goes around the 70 day Mark till its a really good Smoke but the Sativa one goes a 100 Days +. I think in the Sat. dominant Pheno the Auto Trait is more washed out. Im grabbing a chair to watch this one as i do not see much Sweet Mango Grows since it came out.

voila!

Super. Now a pic

took these a few minutes ago!

Nice, she recovered well. Keep it up!

Was thinking the same thing! Apart from the whole indica/sativa thingy I just picked an indica and I wanted it to be something special.
So, first I was looking at Big Bang since I started looking at seeds before really getting into the whole how to grow stuff and I was just looking at stuff with big yields.
But, I didn't really want to grow something a lot of people had already grown or something you would be able to get from any kind of dealer or what so ever. (why grow something you can buy somewhere else without having to do it yourself right? Or something you've smoked already!)
So I came across the Big Bang x mango strain which looked neat.
At this point I'm thinking this could be a well known strain one day, but I'll really know for sure after harvest.
