Have you noticed any insects? I had Fungus Gnats sap my seedlings growth to the point of tossing them a month back. Also, I know you're trying to fix a ph issue but I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze as far as overwatering. At that stage 50-100ml is plenty IMO. And those lights!

Day 14 (3-18-17) Update
Been trying to combat this pH issue, problem is I don't want to over water since I noticed the pH issue like a day after they got their first big watering!
What I've done...
3-16 watered 250ml 6.0 pH
3-17 watered 500ml 6.0 pH
3-18 (today) watered 750ml 5.8 pH
Current...
Temp: 81
RH: 60%
pH: 6.9! : |
TIME LAPSE TIME! (Sorry, grow has been slow so not as exciting as I'd hoped...)
[HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] Jupiter - Still showing the most promise (for now) ...is that a tiny third set leaf trying pop out? IDK looks kinda weird...
View attachment 718060
[HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] Saturn - Starting to see (barely) growth on the second set of leave, they even or past their cotyledons underneath...so that's...something.
View attachment 718062
[HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] Mercury - Same thing as Saturn, can barely see second set of leaves growing outwards a bit. Come on little one!

Last but most certainly not least... 4x AutoCobs arrived today! @BigSm0 (thank you!)
View attachment 718057
(Before, Just MARS 600)
View attachment 718058
(After, 2 COBS + MARS 600 on)
View attachment 718059
These things are just crazy bright! Hung 2 so far so they can hopefully adapt a little bit (both COBS at 36"), may take out the MARS in the next 24-48 entirely for the other 2.
So hopefully I can sort through this pH issue soon, I really don't wanna do a flush so early but if I don't see it start to go down in the next few days I'm really gonna worry that it won't be able to suck up the nutes I plan to feed it for the first time in in the next 3-4 days... Guess we'll have to wait and see!
Big thanks to AFN, also @budelee @stepside @jingo @TheMongol and anyone and everyone else keeping thestrong and the extra love shown today (Saturday in Live Stoner!)
-NN Out!
It seems the´re a little bit late now....mine at about 2 weeks just bring out 3rd or 4th real 5 fingers leaves...i hope i don´t hanging to much out for my advises here as newbie on AFN... cliff notes ( I learned from you using it for your translations, thanks!)...
1. distance of your MarsHydro..?
2. did you meassured ph and ec/ppm run-in and also run-off..? if I´m stupid, please post it again
3. if you did, how much of run-off did you meassured? like 10..to 15 or 20 /% run-off in comparision..?
4. what about the temp..seriosly, when lights are on, steady at 81 or does it change..?
5. on jupiter, in my opinion i have seen a little bit of burn in the tip of leave on the left side, I´m really so afraid of giving wrong advises, if staff members could look at it....
but at least, at 2 weeks unfortunately the´re, in my opinion a little bit late, but hey......remember as I was late...like i posted..nothing happens over-night express..there will be time ti fix it...tomorow here in country its sunday like holy day and i will have some time, my family is going to be back healhty, I´ll read about YOURS and be back to give more slow overwiew and advise...hopfully you don´t kick me out...

Thanks man! I keep telling myself, whatever happens, happens. If this breeder (not sure who) have decent ruderalis genetics, they should pull through and do what they want when they're ready. May not be the greatest yield if I can't get them on track, but they should be fine. Hopefully.
Awesome tip, thank you for that. I may just end up doing something like that to clear them out a bit and get the pH where it should be. I'll give it another 24-48 hours and see where they're at.
Thanks!

I'm 99% certain there are no bugs/gnats. I've been careful not to let anything near or around this tent. It's upstairs in a pretty tight room, inside a closet, sealed up well. I check on them sooooo regularly I would have noticed gnats or other bugs. So far nothing.

1. COBS @ 36" and MARS @ 30"
2. I always pH water going in, used to be 6.5 last few have been lower to try to get the overall soil pH lower. I don't measure run-off or haven't at least. I use the Accurate 8 Soil Probe which as far as I know is accurate.
3. No run off measured yet.
4. Light have been on 24/7 so far, no rest period yet. In the next few days I may go to 20/4. So the temps are almost always pretty steady. 76-82 with exhaust fan, etc. RH is almost alwasy between 60-70%
5. Not sure about the burn, could be from watering if a droplet got on it. But they haven't been fed any food yet except a tiny bit of Big Bloom (once) and 1 spray of the Optic Foliar Overgrow spray. That's pretty minimal in nutes though, rest has only been water.
Thank you!

The best advice I ever received was from @Jupiter. Just relax. Lol I used to stress and worked up over crops and their stage at which ever time it was. Snap a picture and in a week snap another and compare. As ep mentioned autos are very resilient. They also finish on their own schedule. In a perfect world with extremely healthy plants they may finish close to the purposed timeframe. If there is an issue like this with the ph the plant may go longer. It will finish when it's ready and when it wants to.
Thank you soooo much for the review and I can't tell you how excited I was to see them drown the tent when they kicked on in the time lapse. Selling the AutoCobs is the most fun thing I have done in my life and reading happy reviews is the most rewarding.

Pencil me down as no longer worried. Just can't be anymore, ive done everything I can environment wise, just need to get the pH down a little more and let nature do its thing.
Also will do a much better "review" if you will, which will really be just watching how well a grow does from start to finish with the COBs. My guess is grow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] with more trust worthy genetics will shine (pun intended) a lot more, at least quicker that is. Also glad you found a passion that is rewarding and earns a little keep.
Cheers!

Mate you are going through exactly the same process as I did on my first grow. I did a few things wrong (not saying you have) and made some bad choices (won't specify but same as you basically) but got through it and grew some buds.
Second grow I got much better environment sorted, better light source and kinda found "my style" (TaNg's lol) and it's gone sooooo much better. As has already been said here just relax man
I literally sat in my bedroom with the tent for 10 weeks on my first one and nearly sent myself mental! I have learned to chill out a lot more (not completely!) and just watch them do what they do when conditions are good.
It will all sort itself out brother and before you know it you will be holding a big glass jar full of bud that YOU produced!
You're doing awesome mate and all the real good growers (not me) will always be there to help and guide you.
