New grow

[Toddrickfl1]

This is going to be my second grow. Im going to use this thread to document it. These are "Afternoon Deelite" autoflowers. They came as a free sample with another seed purchase. I don't know if they're feminized but I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

Week one:

Week 3, Have some kind of bug or something eating the leaves, any suggestions? Will Diatomaceous earth work? Added first nutrients yesterday too, using Fox Farms.

I did see a few Pill bugs crawling on them. I used homemade compost from backyard. No way for rodent to get into tent. At least I don't think so.

Week 3, seem to be responding from nutrients well

Week 5, these seem to be staying very short and stocky, genetics I'm guessing? I tied them down earlier this week.

not sure how much water you are giving it or how you are giving it but start watering the outside edge of the dirt in a circler way and get the fiber pot wet as much as you can.

Thanks for the tip, I've been watering more towards the center. I usually water them about every third day.

There are better ways to water them and based on the picture's, your vpd is also not on point.

Makes sense, I just checked and my humidity was 75% and I've been keeping them at 70F. It's pretty cold where I have the tent so I had all but one vent closed to hold heat in. I've opened a few vents to lower the humidity and placed the heater inside the tent.

I've had the humidity at about 50% for a couple days. Still no sign of sex.

I sprinkled some diatomaceous earth on them a couple weeks ago. Im pretty sure that's just the remnants of it.
