i guess you got yourself two wild cards, but it's not a problem.If their auto's will know. i run my seedlings at 20/4 light cycle. In veg i go to 18/6 until flower. depending if their auto's or photosynthesis you gonna have to change the light cycle. Auto's keep at 18/6 photosynthesis has to get changed to at least 12/12 fir flowers production to start

When and how would we know? I’m on a 18/6 light cycle at the moment

keep it on 18/6. Auto's will automatically flower without you changing the light cycle. If they start flowering than you know they are auto's. lol
 
also, since you don't know if they are auto's or not i would suggest not to top and perform low stress training.

I found out what they are. They’re regular seeds

good to know. You can do different training options in that case. will get there once their ready. for now enjoy the grow and update us
 
The 1st picture, the cup on the left is stretched out with a bend. The leaves at the top are turned towards the light higher spectrum. I would slowly bring the intensity higher and work them into 100%. You can always keep your hand above the plant for 5 min and see if your hand burns from the intensity of the light. Also, someone said to put more soil in the cup which helps to make the main stem stronger, it also helps create more roots. Here is mine which is now moved into a 2x2 tent, but i put it at 100% at 22". you need to find where it is best height for your seedling by doing the hand on top of the plant technique

Here is with the new light FC3000

I took my ts1000 into my 2x2 tent which holds few gorilla glues in soil and with couple clones
Leaves have small burnt tips probably from turning the light to 50% at 22 inches away. Also my tent is staying at around 69-71. Any tips on how to get the heat a little higher?

I use a small convection heater plugged into a temp controller that works out pretty well and places the heat evenly around the room. Mine is the vornado.

Update* nevermind the leaves were burnt because of the ph corrected water I used to water the soil. Did the method you told me and the runoff was in the 5.0-6 range not exactly sure where at exactly. So I will be using my tap water that is at about 8.3 to water them from now on. @PK1

tip leave burns usually means too much nitrogen. has nothing to do with ph
 
Been a while since I've been back. How's the babies? Read all the post sounds like these great people got you on track.

In the picks I sent I started them out in half Mother Earth + perlite and half FFHF. FFHF is 6.5 ph as soon as the roots hit the bottom they got put in their final home.
Soil mix was 1/4 FFOO 1/2 FFHF 1/4 coco core perlite mix, 5 lbs bone meal, 5 lbs suppersoil concentrate.

Hit them with a root stimulator 2 days before transplant and with the first watering of the transplant 1 week later calmag.

As they have stated don't over water. My wife who has the opposite of a green thumb went in the day after I watered and tried to help me out while I was gone and flooded them.
Had to boost temp to 85 and flat shut off the humidifier, been off 5 days and the humidity is finally getting down around 60.

Buy multiple pH calibration packs. If dropped mine once and it knocked it off. Make sure to get the water at the right temp for the calibration packs. I use distilled water with mine when I calibrate.

Keep a journal of every thing you do, easy to learn from you mistakes and rewards if you have something to refer to. I use a giant calander and a note book.

I take pics every week to compare photos.

On lights mine are at 20 inches but I have 2 going. My Mars hydro is at 50% the kingbright with 301 h is dialed at 1/3 gives me the same light coverage across the tent. 23000lum is what they are liking now.

I'm PH my water at 6.8 because my run off averaged 6.4 may go up on my water.

First time I used liquid nuts years ago I didn't check the pH after mixing. Plants turned yellow and I thought I wasn't adding enough nutes. Killed them all because nutes on the watter were too hot dropped pH of soil run off to 4, 25 times hotter than it should have been.

Anyway I'll stop going over all my mistakes and I wish u luck.
The pics I posted you were about the same age as yours but mine are my first auto flower and first indoor grow.
Had one get a little shock but their drying out and starting to look good.

And for all of you that like the kingbrite 240 301h, all the plants started streatching away from the hydro twards the Kingbrite.
Week 2 and week 3

put the intensity to 100% on your light and put the light at 20" from the top of the seedling. When the seedlings stretch it means they need more light. You want nodes closer by each other and if the light is not in the proper distance the plant will stretch
also mainly seedlings stretch because the ambient air is 80 and above or the soil is too hot (temp)... more so than the lights..

i thought the stretch had to do with the light, good to know
