New Grower Royal Queen Critical Auto & Philosopher's seeds Fraggle Skunk Auto 3

[bushdktr]

Hi guys, just starting a new one, this time around I'm throwing two beans 'cause I've learnt that my space & light is fine for two plants, and I plant a third one after 50-60 days so I have a non-stop experience with our beloved plants.

So I got myself some new stuff from my local growshop:

Royal Queen's Critical Auto, just popped a few days ago, sown directly in soil, basically peat (40%) + perlite (30%) + humus (15%) + own compost with some diatomaceous earth (15%), in a 16 liter square pot with some holes digged in by bushdktr LOL! Here she is:

Fraggle Skunk was thrown in a while ago in a second, 16 liter round and higher pot with a premixed soil (Mad Earth) based on peat too, will post some pics when she pops her head.

My light setting is as usual, a 135 W Blackstar LED + 2 supplementary 105 W CFL's in a 1.60x1.20x0.60 mts tent running a 20/4 cycle. This is an organic grow again, hope I keep learning with new grows, pretty confident I have it tuned up.

Cheers!

I'm subbed up to see how it goes for you. Good luck!

So 10 days from sprout for Critical Auto, doing good, under the LED + CFLs in the tent. Grown on a peat based soil mix that I prepared with perlite, and compost of my own. She's in a 16 L pot with some holes in the side that I digged in LOL!:

My other girl (Fraggle Skunk) has just sprouted on Monday, she's under a small 10W LED in a peat-based premix and a 16 L pot bought at the local grow shop (some long and thin holes in it too). Looking healthy so far!

Fraggle Skunk is waiting a few days to grow up, and step in the tent with her new friend...both seedlings are just watered on recovered rain for the time being.

Cheers!

Quick update guys, both girls are in the tent now, under the LED and CFL's, started light organic nutes for the Critical and just plain pH'd water for the Fraggle Skunk. This pic is Day 13 for Critical and Day 4 for Fraggle Skunk

Have a nice week!

Got back from work last night and found the Fraggle Skunk "leaning" down as shown in pic below (don't know why the pic is also leaning down haha):

Have you guys seen this before?? Dunno if it's a heat shock from the CFL aside it, or it's just a quick growing plant! or maybe she is deciding for herself to auto-LST LOL!
The pic is from today (24 hs. later, Day 8 from sprout), got her some recovered rain water and will just wait and see, the stem is too weak for me to manipulate her in any way, but the leaves look healthy apart from some slight tip burn. She has turned and is looking up at the LED, so will keep an eye on her.

Will keep you updated and any suggestions are very welcomed!

Day 20 for Critical Auto...looking good, and already showing pistols! so fed her yesterday, will start LST anytime:

As for my "leaning princess", I think it was being so leggy that made her succumb LOL, she is trying to perk up again, but I will certainly take advantage of this situation and LST her anytime too. This is Day 12 for her then...

So far so good, started on organic nutes to both of them (fulvic, humics, etc).

Hi everybody out there, some serious LST going around here!, so bud sites are popping everywhere.
Day 26 for Critical Auto:

And Day 18 for Fraggle Skunk, starting the strecth, also loved the bondage:

Feeding only organic nutrients and epsom salts, next few days I'll brew their first tea, watering with recovered rain water, (pH 6.5), temps are pretty stable @ 20 C and Rh 50-60%.

Have a nice weekend!
