Upgraded light, soil, water, and space.
Probably put my seedlings in shock.
We all started somewhere.
With the help of this community, I have switched my watering from 16 oz on Tuesdays and Saturdays to letting the pot dry out and then 32oz of water with nuts.
3-10-25
I need to find out if Mica (large photo) and its sibling Stephane are male or female.

Today’s project is separate my auto from the 2 photos.
Tent in tent maybe.
Use my cheap Walmart light for my photo maybe.
Will update with pics at some point today.

Got some pics of my 3 plant-
Mica has not shown any signs of sex but is the tallest thus far.
Stephanie is looking male and for the sake of argument might get taken out of the tent. It also has yellow spots on leaves that are on the top and bottom of the leaves.
Sparky is a feminized auto and the smallest which is normal from what I’ve read.
Found another seed in my oz. Threw that bad girl in some water this morning. Calling it “Hawk tuah”

Still no change with Stephanie. Haven’t taken it out of the tent.
Feeling defeated and might just scrap the entire grow.
I guess learning so much has made me realize that I will NEVER understand how to grow my mojo.
I thought auto flowers were reliant on age and not light.
I thought I would be able to sex them by now. Going on 10 weeks veg for all of them. 2 photos and 1 auto female.
Hope my feelings change after more coffee.

you love your plants, i can tell.

starting up the learning curve can be rough. sorry youre frustrated, but keep going. mistakes make knowledge.

autos are marketed as for beginners, but theyre kinda not. sure, you dont have to change the light schedule, but they are less forgiving of errors, which all growers make, especially new growers.

i can tell one plant is male, but its unclear to me which.

overall, the plants are looking good. let us know details about your grow, like lighting, soil, feed, temp, rh, and we can offer suggestions and help troubleshoot.

The first grow is often the worst grow. Don't scrap it. Learning what doesn't work is just as useful as learning what does work. These plants are resilient and forgiving. Just figure out what they need and then give it to them.

I know the feeling. People here will help. We all start at the beginning.

Grannygrows said:

That's correct. Auto-flower strains do have a "timer" that tells them when to flower. Photoperiod strains flower when the hours of darkness increase. I believe growing both types in the same tent can be done, though.

There's plenty of time to remove the males.

no pistils, but its promising since females usually show gender later than males.

I started from seed by myself first by myself. Had done clones but never seed. Am proud to say these guys are some great folks who will help anyway they can. Now here's mine 4 weeks out of flush.

About all I can offer is to wet a paper towel with some isopropyl alcohol and wipe the affected area! Let it dry, and then spray the area with peroxide! Then hit the hay and take it back up in the morning! Treating mold is just a Band-Aid! Adjusting the environment is the cure! Usually it’s too humid! But I don’t grow indoors and don’t deal with mold! But maybe it’s better than nothing! If you do use alcohol, keep it off of the soil! The peroxide you don’t have to worry about!
