Hey Billy, good luck with your grow, I'm a first time grower so I know how buzzed you must be feeling right now. A couple of my little ladies are now about 3 1/2 weeks in and I'm amazed how quickly they are growing, I swear if I watch them long enough I can see them grow. Also, when I open my tent there is a nice, mellow fruity aroma, I grinned from ear to ear when I smelled that. People in this forum are brilliant and always helpful and willing to give advice, other forums I've been on and asked a couple of questions the response has been, "Look for the information yourself, there's loads of info on the internet", fucking pricks, forums are meant for people to discuss/give advice etc etc. I hope when I'm au faix with this growing lark I can pass on my knowledge to other people. I have a dream, and that dream is everyone ditches the dealer and ditch weed stays where it belongs, in the ditch.
My 2p's worth is that less is more, autos seem to be light feeders, I haven't given mine any nutes yet and they seem to be thriving and since I've stopped over-watering them, they look even happier and when my bitches are happy, I'm happy. BUT... I did start off with Biobizz Allmix which I believe has more nutes in it to start with. Also, someone suggested to me that a soil cover is a good idea, it stops the soil from drying out too much on top from the heat of the light and if you use reflective material it will bounce some light to the bottom leaves of your plant, but i haven't tried this yet, just passing it on.
Anyway, sorry for hijacking your thread with my ramblings, I've found the hardest part of growing is not being able to tell anyone/talk to anyone about it so I find myself chatting away to anons on teh Internet.
Oh, did you say what strain you are growing?
