New Grower Dinafem Autoflower // CFL // Soil

Nice start.... Good luck with your grow. Here is a little rep to start you off....

You have joined a good community here, people are always willing to help if you have any problems.... Just shout.

I notice your space is not that big for 4 plants, if you do everything right, you may end up getting VERY tight on space in there.

It always surprises me how much these plants will grow and spread to their space. Give them enough room and they will reward you.

For example, On my current grow,I should have know better, I know my tent and the way I grow is a Max 4 plants, but thought "Yeah 1 more plant will be OK". WRONG

A 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent - with 5 plants at 27 days old - looks like this (not the best pic, but just a quick snap to demonstrate).

In a weeks time, I will have a problem! The tallest is already 1mt high and spreading.

I was a little concerned with space... But I already germed those babies.

Thank you for the REP! I still haven't figured out how to return the favor but I'll get it here in a minute.

I'm not intending on doing EVERYthing right this time. So maybe mother nature will have mercy on me.

Dinafem Autoflower // CFL // Soil // Indoor - An overview

Hey there, I'm Greenbusch, and this is my first grow. I wanted somewhere to keep the glog, and this seemed fitting, considering it's an all autoflowering grow. Great to meet everyone! Conversation, comments, and constructive criticism are welcome.

That's nice and quick. I don't like the paper towel method either

Good morning!!!

Really excited, this being my first grow and all. @Dinafem-Mark all of the genetics popped!!!! Whoohoo!!!! We are of to the races. I'm on a CFL grow so I lowered the lights this morning about 8 " from the top of the humidity dome. I'm planning to pot today, or should I wait?
