so I have a number of questions and things related to this hobby. Firstly I did grow some plants earlier this year, by this time last grow my plants wear 2-3xs bigger. They didn't do amazingly, though they started off better than this second attempt. I planted sour diesel and critical gorilla glue seeds on the 20th of September. It is currently week 5 of the grow. I have one sour diesel that is maybe 2 inches tall, maybe. have 2 "SD" that are about 4", while I have gorilla glue "GG" that are roughly the same height. Now I have uad some issues with pests, and I over watered as well. But these plants were small before that happened especially the "SD3" that sucker is tiny. But i have no idea what I have done to stunt these plants. Other than over watering. So firstly a description, the light I have is a blurple 1000w LED, that has been roughly 3ft from the plants (maybe too high), though i did research and most places said that was acceptable, on a 20 and 4 schedule. Potting medium is peatmoss with some slow release fertilizer, (its all i could get, not sure if that is the issue) in a 14l pot. Good drainage with perlite, and holes drilled, by me, to allow more air and water flow. I ph to around 6 to 7 most commonly 6. I have been having a time with humidity, (30% RH) since its winter and winter is dry where i live,(Saskatchewan canada). Now I've been fertilizing 1/2 strength ish, and up until I over watered the leaves were healthy with no signs of discolouration. These pictures were taken Monday, and the leaves have turned a bit yellow since then, I believe due to the water issue. But I have been drying these pots out for a while now. To counter the over watering issue. My first grow had peat moss with perlite no slow release fertilizer, unkown ph likely too acidic too much nutreints, higher humidity and smaller pots. Now that the stage is set the questions begin. Firstly at what height should that ligh be, some sites said 4ft as a seedling, then 3-2ft during veg? I did 30inches last time and this time. But i would like a definite answer. Secondly are these pots too big? Now again the sites I have looked at say 6-15l are fine. Thirdly, this one i can't find an answer any where, but does humidity matter all that much? Does it really need to be in the 45-50% range, or does accessible soil water matter more? Fourthly, this is more outbof curiosity for me. But do autoflowers really finish within 6-9 weeks, or can that number vary? My last one took 12 weeks but I chalked it up to being a beginner. Now lastly, (for this message at least) should i start over? Keep in mind that all these plants are 5 weeks old, all are less that six inches, one is mabye 2 inches tall. I am just lost at what to do. Like I said the first grow I did, was doing better much better by week 5.
sorry for the long post, I just have a lot of questions, and need advice from experienced people. But any advice regarding this would be very useful, and appreciated.
