New Grower "GodAmJT's Perpetual Greenery"

I always figure 12 weeks for my auto grows ... sometimes they finish a week or two early ...
 
Yesssss!! You're the man!!! Thanks again for the advice!!!! I should take a picture of it to show you how much it grew just during the day today!! RH is hovering between 50-52% since this morning and my temps are holding at 80F so maybe I just got very lucky today.. Who needs luck though, eh??!

Not specifically related, but I was going through my picture archives on my computer tonight and found this picture from about 10 years ago.... :)

Feed seems low to me, for three weeks. But I push my girls. Was going say, also seemed preety damn warm in there. But sounds lime that is under control now. Glad their turning around.
 
My original motivation for keeping the feed low is because I suppose I still consider this thing a seedling since it's first sets of true leaves are still growing and forming.. Today is nute-change day anyway, since I haven't been aerating the mix..


Got a question though, if you guys don't mind: I bought Silica supps and haven't used them yet as I was told they shouldn't be used until this thing is officially in "veg" from seedling.. Since it's been 3 weeks, would it be okay to use it at this point or should I hold off a week on using it for a little more development? This thing has new growth ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! I feel like even from when I went to bed until now, there are at least a few more nodes that have developed over night and the smell is REALLY starting to come out now!!!


Thanks guys!!

Sorry I don't know about silica. Glad they are doibg their thing now.
 
So it's been a few days, figured I'd update this piece!!!


Little dude has really taken off in the last 48-72hrs! I'm truly amazed!! I kept having issues with humidity, so my roommate said I could use his larger cool-mist unit that is waaaaaaaaay more efficient. Turns out it was a great idea!! humidity stays at a perfect 50% with no fluctuations according to my monitor and from what my gf recorded for data while I was gone out of state for the weekend.. Temps have been a solid 77F as well, so I couldn't be much happier!! I changed the nute batch so now I'm sitting at about 322ppm and a very mildly adjusted pH of 5.9.. I'm going to be picking up stuff to make the beneficial tea this week and I will also be assembling the top-feed ring and poor-man's airpot in the next few days after finals.. The pictures I guess kinda speak for themselves..

Odd turn of events this morning... Looks like I'm already starting to get pistils on this thing... Is that normal for the plant being this small?? Or an I way off?? If that's the case, almost sounds like I'm going to be germing some other seeds today!! Not exactly what I wanted to see in terms of total growth but I guess it could be worse..




I had thought to swap out one of my 6500K bulbs for a 3000K bulb last night since I'm nearing week 4. Was this a bad idea?? Is this something that might've caused that from happening? I'm thinking yes, but was hoping for some feedback...

They are due to show sex between 3-4 weeks no matter what size they are ... they will continue to get bigger for the next couple weeks but not much ... First 3-4 weeks of an auto's life is critical ... they seldom recover when they get stunted ... But that's one of the beauties of autos .... they're fast ... not just fast but Jimmie John's kind of fast ... Be glad that when she lifted her skirt she was wearing pink ... congratulations ...
:tiphat:
 
lol I suppose that's a good way to look at it!! Thanks for the info!!! Looks like I'm going to germ this other Auto seed, either the Blue Amnesia or La Diva... I'm hoping this thing can grow at least a bit bigger.. I want to see if I can supplement the CFLs I have for the next grow.. I'm not really sure what stunted them and it's hard to tell, but from my extremely limited knowledge of plants, the leaves look healthy, the pH has always been where it needs to be, ppm, temp, but humidity was a roller coaster, so maybe with the new humidifier, that may change.. Good learning experience though!! Now, let's see if I can get this thing to grow some buds!!!

- - - Updated - - -

Also, one last thing.. Any recommendations I can do to maybe help stimulate some more growth?? Add a couple more CFLs, perhaps?? I have enough outlet spaces for one my pair, and if so, should I use a 6500K and a 2700K or just 2-2700Ks??


Thanks!!
