Greetings all - some advice please.
I'm a newbie at outdoor growing, although I've had successful grows twice in the past using light tents. Right now I have a batch of seedlings sitting on my window ledge in 4-inch pots. I deliberately chose compact auto-feminized hybrids - although it's now legal to grow weed in Thailand I want to keep a close watch on this first batch to see how things go. (I also potted 2 regular, larger strains with the idea of putting them into the ground somewhere secluded.)
I've no experience with auto-flowering seeds. I know they are more compact than regular strains and have less of a yield. But I'm getting a bit concerned now. It's exactly 6 weeks since they all popped their heads up and they seem to be hardly growing at all. The auto-flowering ones seem tiny but nicely formed, and started the first flower set at about 5 weeks.
They are on a north facing window and get bright light all morning and direct sun from midday till 6 pm. They're in a potting-soil/perlite mix - watered every 2/3 days with a soak-and-drain - started with mild nutrition (Fox Farm Grow Big) when the first fan leaves appeared. Soil is PH6. The minimum temperature is 30°C/86°F this time of year.
Are the autoflowing varieties OK with this kind of temperature? What's happening with the leggy Tropical Punch?
I'd appreciate your comments please, as this is my first grow with these hybrids.
