My light is not powerful enough it wants to stretch more than grow leaves.....I get paid on Friday guess I’ll buy a light locally instead of having the autocob shipped cause I can’t wait any longer

Day 8 - 100% germination (happy about that) - got a 65 watt QB LED at the local shop today - it has full spectrum - to me that means it includes UV and far red even if just a little - excited to see where these ladies are say 10-15 days from now - I am seeing new growth every day - so I guess I can’t complain - have questions to start answering about watering and nutrients but this is becoming a bit less stressful and more exciting now !

Day 10- transplanted first 2 seedlings into 2 gallon fabric pots like the other one - and they are watered with one 1/8 dose of organic big bloom - possibly even less than 1/8 dose I was extremely cautious - light is 18 inches away - humidity is mid 50% and temp high 70’s low 80’s with two 6 inch fans - we will see what happens from here - open to advice - should I use a foliar spray? If so when ? They seem to be getting happier each day

* my last post was day 9 not day 10
Day 12
I made some minor changes and things are getting back under way - I def stunted their growth from under watering and lack of light but I have reigned in these issues without killing my ladies (not for lack of trying lol) they are finally bouncing back - maybe I will end up getting something off these

I did some things wrong and got some dates wrong - the biggest birthday was July 5 - she’s on day 13 - the second biggest birthday was July 8 - she’s on day 10 - the smallest is basically 7 days old - so it wasn’t quite as stunted as I thought - however I def overwatered them at some point and believe my PH is off just a little - so I need to get a digital reader as I know it will help me be more accurate - they are reacting well to LESS wind, misting, being rotated , and six hours rest. I have been giving them like 3ml of veg nute and 5-6 ml of big bloom every other feed since they hit day 7 - I think my discoloration is partial mutation and partial ph issue - and partial stress from transplanting, light being too close, not enough light for a couple days after they popped (took a couple days to get my full spectrum LED), over watering - and it is possible it could be cal/mag deficiency because I don’t know how to identify that yet, especially the 7 day old seedling which is finally starting to push out the first set of true fan leaves. That was long winded but I bet my next auto flower start will have drastically better results than this one.

The two bigger ones - 2 and a half weeks old right now - just gave veg nutes , extremely low dose - we see how they grow from here - I am happy now they resemble something like what I had in mind after a rocky start - lighter hand on that watering bucket now lol - seedling finally recovering she’s about 13-14 days old - so by Sunday the big two will be 3 weeks and I am surprised they have recovered from my dumbassery

Entering week 4 - had some watering issues - I think I both over and under watered lol - slight nitrogen burn (dark green eagle claw curling down tips) on one of the girls. The runt I believe had some PH issues and underwatering - big girl going strong; pots finally dried out after 4-5 days with no water so I gave 1 pint to the big girl and slightly less to the other two with 2 ML of photosynthesis plus - they look way better after I got home from work - anyways we have showed signs of preflower on all three girls as of yesterday - gonna let the pots go dry and give only water again I think but I’m learning and haven’t killed them yet lol! Fuck these fabric pots also - I ordered three Rain Science bags today as well can’t wait to use them next time - cheers

Okkkkk chopped two girls they were not gonna yield and I needed to know what I had done wrong - less of a fabric pot issue (lol) and more of a compacted soil issue the roots were all over the place but extremely thin and dangly, so pretty sure it wasn’t getting enough oxygen and I had some environment issues which I THINK I am dialing in a bit better now , but a sacrifice was made for tent space however I regret killing the girls in front of their sister (tragic) but yea still one growing strong despite mistreatment , abuse , deficiencies, and torture lol shits brutal but I’m curious to see how the flowers turn out I would say today is Day 1 of flower for this girl , and it’s day 27 since seed , seems about average from what I hear look at them duckfeet at the bottom lol she had some mutations but alas I’m an ugly mofo as well so who am I to judge
