Hi guys, like I say ive never grown cannabis before (unless you count the time my dog ate my 2 month old plants back when I was 16...).

So I decided to grow autos, quicker harvest, smaller plants and id heard they prefered soil grows. So I got some nyc diesel autos and a free blue cheese auto seed.

I planted 2 nyc and 1 blue cheese each in there own 5 gallon bucket. I used @70% coco coir to @30% of my own compost.
Im using a 300w dual spectrum cfl (currently blue)
I also set up a scrog 10 inches above them.
Im airing on the lighter side of watering due to the lack of perlite and im only using 1/4 strenght nutrients

So right now im at day 25 and im fairly happy with their progress. Theyre just hitting the scrog and I cant see any signs of any major problems

Nyc 1 is o'natural
Nyc 2 got topped around day 16 and got stunted
Bc also got topped but I think I didnt take enough off because the cola didnt split?

So, any tips are welcome and much appreciated!! Cheers for having me I will keep you posted! also please let me know if this is the wrong space for this post!

Hey Welcome to AFN! This is the place to introduce yourself yes, if you would like to start a journal you may want to pick the new growers section https://www.autoflower.org/forums/new-growers-grow-journals.44/ or the indoor grow jounals https://www.autoflower.org/forums/indoor-grow-journals.253/

Your young ladies look happy as can be. Auto's will grow any way a photo will and not all are small, just depends on the strain. There are a few 1lb plus auto journals around here in hydro. Using CFL's i'd think you'd want to stay with small strains.
If you need any help throw an @ in front of anyone's name @hashead Stop by live stoners chat and say hi, share photos, music whatever floats your boat.
Happy Growing

Cheers @iampepe , is there anyway I can relocate this post? Have you had any experience with either of these strains? I did some research on the nyc and that seems to scrog well, the blue cheese was just a happy bonus, kinda nostalgic to be honest

I'd just start a new journal in whatever section you choose with the name of your strains in the title. Sorry I haven't grown either of those.
