Hi this will be my attempt at growing some weed for medicinal purposes due to health reasons.I have a 60x60x140 grow tent with a 180 w led light & carbon filter(won't need it on till the sweet smell gets pungent,is that correct?)..I read up online for few weeks & I have been successfull at germinating 3 seeds(auto speed diesel.royal dwarf & speedy Chile) the paper towel method..Soil is bio- mix all Max,I have pH tester for water,monitor for moisture& pH in soil..I gave the pots a good soaking 1 day before planted seeds & at the moment plenty moisture in soil,so maybe other 5 days or so then give them water,I check daily tho..I'm not giving them any grow or bloom till 17-21days& start with low dose of grow is that OK???I will add pics & could I have someone with a bit of knowledge to advise me if doing OK,or need to alter anything??Thanks

Hi, if the leaves are turning pale, you can give them a low dose of GROW fertilizer to keep them green. You do not have to wait 15 days, you can do it any day since they are rooted now. But use a very light dose. Make sure you use GROW fert and not BLOOM.

Its looking good. Water every two days lightly until your plants become mire mature. You can use grow nutes but do a few droops in a bottle of spring water. Its best to use SW when using nutes rather than nutes and tap water. Using tap water and nutes will burn your seedlings. Spring water has no nutes or contamns. Allow them to enjoy humidity they need moister during vegitative stage. Moniter your led lights make sure they arent too close. Allow them light aeration (air flow). Make sure youre doing 18/6 lighting time. And talk to them and relax and manage your grow with good intent. Keep friends and family out of your business. Grow Happy... GG
Thanks for the guidance my pots are still wet so think will wait a bit before add water & small drp nutes

You should have enough nutrients in the seeds endosperm to support it for three weeks to a month without feeding. autoflowers are not the same as a photo period plant. The key is to not transplant. you want to grow start to finish in the same pot. I hear 2 or 3 gal pots no bigger is best for autos. generally these plants end up small.

Thanks.so the soil will be OK for 2-3 weeks without neuts??I started in 7inch pots without transplanting em..I suppose patience is a must!! & will check em everyday & will post pics every Sunday & would be very much appreciated if I'm going wrong somewhere for your valuable input..Thanks all...

Hi steff. How old is your plant now? Looks to be doing better.
