Rapid rooter and watering auto...

[Irishguy83]

Oh sorry i keep seeing what i thought was dirt, never grew an auto that way, all i can say is whatever the direction says cut it to a 1/4 i mean ure ppm in your solution, or you auto may burn, the number 1 problem with autos is nute burn so you need to understand that these things do not like allot of nutrients if growing hydroponicley you are going to need a very mild solution, during veg i hardly feed at all they just dont like allot of nutrients, witch is one of the perks of running autoflowers, i mean i use so little nutrients they last forever, ill give a quick rundown on the pros and cons of autoflowers, pro, use hardly any nutrients,, if things go right you can realy go from seed to weed in around 70 days, autos tend to smell less or if you do get a stinker it wont smell nearly as long, autos are great for stealth grows, the weed is just as good as photos, now for the cons, they are notoriously easy to burn, sometimes they grow great then refuse to flower, the seed companies lie about the yield witch is allways much smaller than stated, autoflower seeds are much more expensive than photo seeds, sometimes they pop and just stop for no good reason, sometimes those $10 to $20 beans will not germanate, again for no good reason. they are tricky, touchy, bitchy plants that you simply do not run the same as autos. but for all that i have come to respect them for what they are, i mean when they run right its awsome to see a plant grow a new set of leaves a day when there in there spurt. Ill post a couple pics of my favorite strains, purple kush, grapefruit, cotton candy.

I did all my nutrients at 25% and I hear you perhaps I was a bit eager to get my whole thing started.... I'll have to pop open my tent and have a morning look at her

Friend, autos are time oriented you are at 14 days, your very far behind, been running autos for 9 years there fussy, bitchy, easy to burn plants that you do not run like photos, if i were you i would raise my light it looks like your getting a little light burn, you want your leaves pointing to the light not shying away from it, i run 600w led and for seedlings that small i keep my light 28inc from seedling, when it gets bigger i lower my light to 24inc that seems to be my sweet spot, pic is crystal candy auto by sweet seeds at day 22, leaves are dropping beacuse it is about to go to bed they droop so they can strech during darkness , plant at 22 days is female and just hitting her spurt, if you need info or help no prob just ask.

This is only my 3rd auto grow and it’s in soil but I’m at day 7 ,and I think I’m a little behind and there from my limited experience there is no time for recovery! Trial and error just learn from every opportunity!

Btw I've been on my ph in the morning and at night.... ph 5.75 seems the best the most my ph has been is 7 so I'm just trying to keep that range you really can tell that my girl here likes what I'm doing so far

 

[Irishguy83]

Ok so today I went in to check my girl and do the ph check temp you know what I'm saying.... so I put my res water back up to level and then I noticed those leaves that started to die from being in the rr but today those leaves are purple not fully healed but purple is the color that its turning as it heals. Is this a good thing? Kinda feel like it may be but I dont know all diseases.

I think you may have light bleached em at some point. They won't likely fully heal but color may improve a bit. Either way these leaves will likely be removed in a few weeks anyhow.

Cheap free and easy. There are better ways but this will do.

Download "light meter" by "my mobile tools dev" if you have an andriod

For that plants size you want about 10k Lumens at the leaves.

Increase light intensity 5000-7500 each week. Some do this faster but this works for me

Thats the farm man everyone here puts a lot of time helping others and a lot more than me. This place is really more of a community than a forum. Can't say that about any other forum. I try to help when i can, not always right but i'm still learning every day too.
