11 x mephisto forum stomper x double grape fem seeds are in starter pots, the reason i have them low down is to top/prop up with coco as they grow, i have watered them with a weak rhizotonic mixture and ph is 5.9.
They are under my twin t5 cloning light atm, two of these are a week ahead of the new ones, am i correct they look very behind compared to everyone else's autos i've seen on this site!
Any suggestion or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

So i am doing vegging the seedling this way around, under my 2ft twin t5 cloning light through the night and when my flower room lights come on at 10am i then move the seedlings under the 315cdm light which hangs about 3ft above them, around 10pm when flower room lights are due to go off i then put them back under the cloning light for the night, they are looking ok at the moment with much faster growth rate than the initial two i planted 10 days ago.
I'll update daily so i have a diary to compare to and look back on to see what worked and what didn't.

Plants need fresh air, it looks like they can't get it.


Lol I've been growing for 25 years mate, to encourage root development a humid environment works best, they are out of the cling film now, lol.

Hello there - the first thing I would say after growing photo plants for many many moons before going full on with Autos is pot starting pot size, my first big mistake was starting them in small pots, their root system starts life very aggressively and shoots down pretty fast. I did well stunting pretty much all of my first lot that way. Now I use the biodegradable pots in a prop to get them up and out of their seed then straight in to final pot.
Hope that helps
cheers

Hello, looks like a great start! I'm pretty new to growing myself, only on my 3rd grow and all have been autos. The one thing I have learned is that they really don't seem to take well to being moved around and transplanted at all. I've had terrible luck with germination and getting my seedlings going until I got them started in their forever pots. I also use small biodegradable pots with lots of air holes drilled all around the bottom half to start them in and once the pop I tear off the bottom and place them in a 5 gallon.
 
Day 4, well tomorrow they go into their final 6.5 litre square pots.

Still under twin 2ft t5 cloning light 24/7
