Indoor First Grow Attempt: 250w Dresser Stealth Soil Grow

[StealthGrown]

Hey Scott!

Pic 2 is HBD, Pic 3 is AKR. Pic 4 is what I'm smoking now.

They always look like something wrong with them and colors weird in areas.. Its all I can do with no electric pH meter, and no good water, and bad bad humidity in early stages. They will probably be fine, but I like everything perfect and they're far from perfect. Theres pistils up top and some all over the under growth, should I give them some flowering nutes or are they just telling me shes a she? Glad they're both auto's tho! sheeshh

I know, its strange so early! Before 3 weeks they are throwing out pistils, is that normal?

Should I start them on the Flowering nutes? And go by the recommended feed chart but start at 1/3 or 1/4 doses?

Thanks Scott!

*lol* Yes its normal. Most Autoflowers start at around day 14 from the strains I have grown. If you look back at the first pic I posted that was day 20 and you can see them in the picture quite easily.

It is time for veggie nutes and a dash of flower nutes. I dont know anything about the soil your using or how hot it is and can only offer advice based in the soil I use but I have read the Fox Farms stuff is pretty hot compared to what I use so go lightly at first.

Here is a quick shot from day 37. I had some issues with Nitrogen deficency when I was gone a few days so I have some yellowing going on and I have pollenated this plant with 3 different strains since I liked how it was looking for some future suprises hopefully

Awesome Scott, she looks good and will hopefully recover from the N deficiency ASAP!

Got some pictures from Thursday morning. Gave them another watering with the same organic veg nutes when I took the pictures. Run off was 6.0-6.5 range, hard to tell with dirty water. Next watering will be 1/3-1/4 of whatever the recommenced first week of flowering nutes are plus some veg nutes.

First 3 pictures is the AKR. Then 2 after that is HBD. The HBD has some yellowing on the top growth leave tip. Whats up with that? Then the same old bottom yellowing on both of em. And a weird bump on the HBD, is that bug related? Its light green/yellow on top and theres only one. I circled where I'm talking about on both plants.

Edit: When I checked on the girls the thermometer I have inside fell on the HBD's biggest side leaf. Its the last 2 Pictures that are from today. Didnt break a branch or anything, but it was laying flat on soil and couldn't hold its weight so I used a lid to lift her up some. Hopefuly she comes back to life. Weird because an hour and a half after she was very moist and rolling her tips up seems like its dying. But I made sure the thermometer is on tight now.

Watered earlier today with 8 mL Flower Power and 4 mL of Grow it Green. Cut the dead leaf off. Tipped the plants over and saw roots poking out of both drainage holes. They got through the paper towel layer and all. Going to pop them back in some how tomorrow, but just before the picture a little tiny tiny insect was crawling around down there on the bottom. It was very very small, still viewable in the HPS light though. What do you guys think that was? It was grayish brown I think.

Plants are so small, getting some height but definitely had those CFL's too close or didn't use the 250 watter early enough. Disappointed knowing the yields going to be super weak. Might pop in the Onxy autoflower soon and start her in the 1.5-2 gallon bag under HPS from sprout.

Oh, and the thermometer inside fell on the HBD's 1 leaf and 3-4 days later I cut her off. Didnt want it messing with the soil. Cotyledon leaves still on both and are yellow, if they fall into soil is that bad??

Day 27,28 I believe. I got some pest sticky strips and taped one side, because they're so messy and sticky, then nailed them in on the sides. Made 2, but only have seen a couple bugs that were a little bigger than mosquitoes in the room. Not even needed but I was bored and medicated and hoped I could catch some insects in there! I still haven't moved the HPS. I want them to grow into it and know the taller they get the more artificial sun shine for them! Thinking about moving the fan thats on the bottom of the dresser to the same wall as the fan thats blowing across the glass. The plants only shake a little, instead of a steady air flow on them. Might help with temps too? The high on the thermometer for the past week was 83.4 degrees and the outside thermometers high was 80.1 degrees.. so I gotta keep an eye on that. Anyways, heres how they look after their first flower feeding yesterday:
