New Grower First-time Grower - Nirvana Bubblelicious Feminized + Autoflower

Since you're in double cups I assume you already cut the bottom from the inside cup? If so, then just remove the outer cup and see if the bottom is still damp. Just don't disturb the roots if they are already at the bottom. That one could end up being a runt but I wouldn't give up on it yet. See how it responds after you water it the next time.

I think what you've outlined for your next germination is the way to go. Transplanting isn't difficult but if you're not experienced there is the possibility of setting them back a bit. Do what you're stated and you should be fine.

Hey Muddy... It's funny that I'm in the same location as you. I've pretty much been relegated to the garage too. Yah, I have a great wife and two amazing little kidlets, but now I have to hide in the garage for any alone time. It's not soo bad with an iPad and a few bowls. Now I have my three seedlings and my dog to keep me company out here.

So here's an update with pics.

#1 is coming along well and showing signs of new leaves. She's still tiny, but I think she'll be okay.

#2 is growing and growing. She's my current blue ribbon contender.

#3 has a nice set of small leaves coming in and is showing roots through the botton of the Jiffy pellet. I'm afraid of those roots getting damaged before I transfer the seedling into it's bigger final pot. Can I do that now?

 

[The Squid]

Yeah that's the taproot coming straight down and out. I suggest to go ahead on the transplant as to not damage that root. Muddy may say differently, though I doubt it.

I transfered all my seedlings to bigger pots today. They all seem to be doing fine. I hope my timing was okay.

#1 transfered from an 18 oz. party cup of LW to a 2:1 mix of OF:LW. #1 is still recovering nicely.

Since #1 is the smallest, she's staying in the PC Case.

#2 transfered from an 18 oz. party cup of LW to a 2:1 mix of OF:LW.

#3 transfered in a Jiffy Pellet to a 2:1 mix of OF:LW.

I don't know the capacity of the pots. How do I figure that out?

I ordered some seeds from Herbies Autoflowering Seeds that shipped today. I should have some Lowryder #2 and Advanced Biodiesel Mass seeds plus the freebie Delicious La Musa in a few days if shipping works out. I still have one more Nirvana Bubbelicious left for a future grow. Still sad I lost one this time.

#1 is still tiny and growing VERY SLOWLY. She's still a runt, yet my oldest of the three sisters. She otherwise appears healthy, just tiny. Tiny leaves, tiny stem... she's like a miniature.

#2 is one week younger than #1, but so much bigger. Multiple sets of huge leaves and new baby leaves everywhere. So far she hasn't proved her sex, but I expect to see sex any day now.

#3 was planted two days after #2 and is keeping up nicely. She's not as big as #2, nor does she have as many leaves yet, but I'm sure she'll be fine. I wonder if she's not as big as #2 because of the Jiffy Pellet?

I transplanted them all to 2:1 OF:LW nine days ago and they seem to have taken well to the medium. My last watering was about 5 days ago and was the deepest watering I've given them yet. I made sure the medium was moist all the way down. I also added 2ml per liter each of Voodoo Juice and B-52 to the Ph'ed water. I haven't watered them since and have a decent finger on judging them by weight on when to water again.

Here's the entire family:

I have a few questions.

a) I bought AN SensiGrow A&B before understanding that with autoflowers and FoxFarms Ocean Forest, I likely don't need any nutes for the few weeks of vegging because everything the autoflowers need will be in the OF. Should I have skipped the SensiGrow and just bought SensiBloom?

b) I'm planning on potentially using AN's Big Bud and Overdrive during flowering, but am curious if I could just use unsulphered molases instead and get similar results? OR if I should use Big Bud and Overdrive while also using unsulphered molasses?

c) Is there ANYTHING I can do to help #1 grow faster/bigger and keep up with her younger sisters?

Also just got a new order of seeds from Herbies. Great autoflower selection and deals. This was my first order with them and am happy with their selection. Let's see how they grow.

Molasses is an additive basically a carb loader and is not a bloom byte like big bud. Big bud has potash and phos that the plant uses for flowering. You will def need the big bud and can use the molasses towards the end along with it. Molasses Is not a nutrient.

Hey man I have been satisfied with herbies too, fast shipping and seeds are fresh. I think I am gonna try out some from the sponsors soon, if I can get them to ship to me.

 

[Muddy]

Oh yes, that's my sanctuary for sure. Lots of projects to work on, Sirious/XM and my bubbler.

Yes, you will still need the Sensi Grow. The OF will be good for 3-4 week, but the veg period on autos is about 6 weeks, so you'll probably need it for at least 2-3 weeks while they are in pre flower. As far as your small seedling, it's probably a runt and there isn't much you can do except follow the normal feeding routine. Autos are still fairly new and are not 100% stabilized. It's not uncommon to see about 3 different phenotypes, runts being one of them.
