Hi guys! :)
I'm a new grower, doing this for a while and learning from my mistakes. :D
I bought few autoflowering feminized seeds and I'm currently taking care of two of them. The problem is that I think I stunted them...
Let me tell you about my setup first:
AREA: about one square foot
LIGHTING: 3 cfl 2700K and 3 cfl 6500K, total of 138 Watts / 9060 lumens and I'm using proper reflective coating
TEMPERATURE: between 78 to 85 Fahrenheit
HUMIDITY: 30% to 50%
VENTILATION: two pc fans (soon I'm building my tent but it's going to be really small so I'll use an inline fan in combination with carbon filter and passive air intake).
WATER: 6.0 - 7.0 ph, low mineralized water (suitable for human babies)
SOIL: proper premade NPK soil for flowering plants, but it's for mature plants and it's too fertilized.
POTS: about 2.5 liters each ~ less than 3/4 of a US gallon
I even expose my plants to direct sunlight, (keeping the roots cool) when outside is clear sky and temperature is around 80 - 85 Fahrenheit, for about 10 hours a day.
What I think I did wrong is that I put them into too small containers, didn't use proper soil for seedlings instead, kept them under humidity dome for the first few days, despite that they sprouted (really fast, both of them for about two days) and transplanted them in the first week because they were in small coffee cups. I know... :D
So my questions are:
• Will they stretch for at least 10" long and would their axillary branches stretch and get thicker?
• Is there any point to continue growing them, because I don't expect a lot, but not a quarter of an oz from two plants. :D
• Maybe I can risk and transplant them in bigger pots now?
Any help will be appreciated! :)
Thank you very much! :)
