Indoor Speed Seeds Blueberry Auto & Skunk Auto (220 Watt CFL grow)

[Kush]

Here she is at 1 month old. She is about 2 inches tall.
I now know for a fact that she's a runt because of faulty genes. It's not the soil and its not the temperature, it's just Speed Seeds selling me a runt.
I will grow her out to the end just to see what will happen. She hasn't shown sex yet, maybe she's not even an autoflowering strain (which can be a good thing in my case because if she is a photoperiod plant, then she will have time to grow big).

One last thing: she may be small, but she already smells up the room.

Five weeks old. She is showing sex. I hope she will grow during the flowering stage. Just gave her bloom nutes.

In nearly all of your pics the soil looks soaked. It could be over watering. How often are you watering them?

 

[Kush]

I have watered her only two times for the 5 weeks of her life - once with worm castings tea and recently with bloom nutes. Both times I got the pot heavy with water.
The soil looks soaked because it is a dark soil and because I am taking shots with very low exposure, which makes the soil look even darker.

Interesting, I just replaced my exhaust fan with one that is considerably larger (twice as big, to be more precise). Funny thing is that this did not change the temperature in the box at all. I wonder what could lower it.

do you have your vent open on your tent? if so try closing both so that the fan creates negative pressure inside the tent. that's what I had to do to get my temps down in July.my temps went from 87 *f to 80*f . also try to run your lights more at night instead of during the day they may drop the temps some. I had my lights set to go off at 10 a.m. then come back on at 4 p.m. saved a couple degrees that way also.

Thank you very much for your reply, @101kushman.
My tent is made by me out of a cheap folding balcony greenhouse, similar to this one, but with a flat top. The tent does not have an intake opening, it only has one 5in exhaust fan that is situated on the top of the tent and that sucks air form underneath the "door"of the tent. The fan does create negative pressure, I can see it happening because it sucks the sides of the tent in.
My lights go off at 11am and go back on at 4pm, very similar to your light schedule.

I think the problem is caused by the temperature in the room - it never goes down below 25 degrees Centigrade. I believe it is normal for the tent to be 4-5 degrees hotter than the room it is in. However, due to the already high temperature in the room, these 4-5 degrees are enough to cause a heat issue.

She is 6 weeks old.
I now have a pH probe. The pH of the soil is 7. I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing.

Here is The Runt at 2 months and 2 days. She is small, but leaves are kinda covered in sugar. She smells of grapefruit, very pleasant actually.

I thought that at 2 months of age it was time for her to die off, but her pistils are still white and it looks like she has another month left. I am aiming for a yield of 2 grams, lolol.

Fuck you, Speed Seeds, you inconsistent bums. I was happy with your Photos, not happy at all with your Autos, though.
For me it's been a hit and miss scenario with Speed Seeds' products.

I had an AK 47 one out of four was stunted and warped like that. I just scraped it and grew out the others to success
