Daily update

~78°F
~65%RH
-Light distance 30" down 2 inches from yesterday to see how they do, they were stretching a bit and I want to see if they could take it. I'll watch closely.
-No water yet today. Top of soil is getting dry but it's still damp right below the surface
-No nutes

The zkittlez I popped to replace the widow is up and shed her coat just waiting now. The widows are starting to grow their 3 finger leaves now. Can't wait!

Hi everyone. The babes seem to be doing alright. Soil had dried out a bit so I gave them some RO water. Should I start adding calmag to my waterings? I don't know I have never used it before. Zkittlez is up and the widows are working on their next set of leaves

~74°f
~47 % RH, running humidifier now to get that back up.
-250 ml RO water
-no nutes
-Light distance 28in, down two from yesterday

Daily update.

The girls seem to be liking the lights closer so I moved them closer again today. No water today, still damp.

~77°F
~60%RH
-No water or nutes
-Light distance 26", holding here for awhile.
-21/3 light cycle

Edit real quick... That zkittlez is only 3 days from planting seed I said 5 earlier. It has definitely come up and spread the wings way faster than the widows. I have not found any documented grows of the seedsman zkittlez auto yet so hopefully it turns out well. It looks like a vigorous one for sure. Leaf size has doubled easily in less than 24 hours

Two widows - 8 days from planting

3 days from planting - zkittlez

Daily update

~77°F
~55%RH
-750 ML 6.5 ph RO water, all the way to edge of bag for first time
-2ml/gallon botanicare Cal-mag plus
-Light distance 26 in
-Installed an oscillating fan over the top of the babes to strengthen them up now that they have grown a bit

Everything seems to be chugging along nicely. Going to check on watering in a few days as they got a good soak today. Hoping the roots will start reaching and these girls will blow up quickly.
The 3 fingers on one of the widows is finally starting to poke out. They seem to be growing pretty consistently together so far.
The zkittlez is still tiny but it's only 4 days from planting and 5 from germination so it's growing pretty well so far if you ask me.

I decided to add some Cal-mag into this feeding because these plants have been getting straight RO water for almost 10 days so I wanted to make sure that they get the nutrients that are stripped during the RO process. Going to wait at least another week or maybe two before I start feeding with veg nutes because they seem to be doing fine. They will get a little nitrogen from the cal-mag but it's not a lot which should go over well at this seedling stage. Later!

They seem to be growing pretty fast but I don't really know what to compare them to or when to expect them to blow up. I hope it's soon!

Edit... So I went on to grow diaries, that site is dope if you haven't checked it out, and found my strain and looked at growth by day comparing to others and she seems to be doing well compared to them far lol I can wait for the stretch and some tying down to get some good canopy. It's that newbie blood running through my veins right now haha hope everyone had a good weekend and I'll update away tomorrow!

Funny story... I had set my timer to a 21/3 light schedule but for whatever reason the other day I remember flipping the switch to have the timer not function, aka just run straight through without the timer....they have been getting 24 hours light for at least the past 3 or 4 days. I corrected that but they really didn't seem to mind at all. Just thought I had to share my rookie mistake with y'all! It doesn't matter too much with these autos but I'm going to run a photo grow next. Going to have to be on top of my game with that one! Can't have a mess up in flower like that

Lots of guys run autos 24/0 anyway. No harm at all.

I thought about keeping it 24 hours. They have been blowing up honestly....

Lots of people do. Personally I feel every living thing needs some rest, plus I'm running 2 grow tents and my electric bill like the rest time as well lol.
