My plants are now at ~6.5 weeks from sprouting and still aren't this tall.. At this rate, I'm nowhere near the advertised 10 week cycle o.0

:bigjoint:good to know, thanks! i did read that the advertised times might not be exact, so i'll trust the plants (as i have in the past)

Ah, thanks. My concern was that these plants would run out of time or something. Considering moving the middle one out, but it'd be less than ideal - would go back to frozen water bottles for now

Hi all, I got three auto Grand Daddy Purps going, at the start of week 6, and I got sort of a random question: The plants are still pretty short - under 6 in. - and haven't begun their stretch yet; however, they have fan leaves that are bigger than my hand. I'm worried that it's not growing...

I'm still such a noob and there's too many other factors, which is why I decided to stick with Lucas for now. I figure I can come back to nutes once I know what I'm doing, but feeding regiments scare me And I appreciate your taking the time to write this all out, it is helpful to know what you...

Thanks for the help.. I know most of this information is found elsewhere, too, but it's also helpful to not get lost in my head thinking about these things. Have you grown with autos a lot? This is my first time trying them (I got bonus seeds with my last order). I'm curious, do autos...

I should've thought twice about moving all 3 into the same tub, but I was just thinking about the convenience (only got one chilling coil, so I'd have to go back to frozen water bottles for a second tub). Do you have any experience with crowded plants in DWC or hydro in general? Will they just...

Roots still looked good this morning - white, no slime or smell Using Lucas Formula at half strength (~600 ppm) Res at around 8 gallons pH at 5.8-6.0 Plants are still growing as well! EDIT: also using hydroguard (root inoculant) and orca (mycorhizzae) The drooping hasn't gotten worse, so I'll...

Hi all, Got myself 3 autoflowering plants in DWC, 4 weeks old. Water temp steady at 67F, air temp currently at 73F, humidity around 40%. The plants are fine except that they are drooping. Is this a concern at all (ie should something be done)? It's not that bad yet, but I also didn't want to...

Hopefully I can break the cycle this once! I didn't think I was underfeeding (since that would've meant basically feeding nothing), so I went up to half strength- 620ish ppm. I do think, aside from lack of nutes, res temp was also as big or the bigger issue. Temp has been at 67 for a week now...

Touche. I tried creating a manifold last time, and even though it prob added a week or two of veg, I loved having identical and fat tops with no larf. For these autos, Ill possibly put up a screen to just scrog any branches that are too high above the rest, but wont do much else.. Jc,what sort...

I also enjoy training my plants, so I don't plan on trying autos again anytime soon; bought a handful of beans, all photo strains :hump:

I know potency used to be an issue, but it may no longer be the case? This is only my impression from reading up online, so I'm not sure - but this is also why I'm giving these autos a chance. I'm out in Amsterdam rn, and autos are gaining popularity (at least for now). Some seed banks have a...

All I had was hydroguard, but I ordered a bottle of orca (mycorrhizae) that's coming this week. Plants responding well to the stronger nute concentration and cooler water. New growth looking great, yellowing only from the initial messup

Makes sense that the roots are rotting and not just colored from nutes, I'll probably be tossing these. Only tried these b.c they came as freebies.. Never considered growing autos before this

Of course! I'm not discouraged, just a little slower to improve than some :dunce: Aside from lost time and a slightly higher electric bill, these past few months have indeed been a great learning experience. Appreciate all your help again, everyone. RIU has been an invaluable resource - I had...

Hm, switching back to soil's been on my mind, since I'm still a noob with soil. I knew hydro had its own set of challenges and a steeper leaening curve.. I do think the last systemic issue I needed to address in my current (hydro) setup was res temps. I had just been hesitant to buy a chiller...

This is my second hydro attempt (about a dozen soil grows before this), and I had tried using frozen water bottles for the last month, but im def too lazy a person to keep it up. I got the water chiller I ordered - which I realize is sorta overkill for my amateur-hour setup - but I've since...

:cry: these are at day 19, I might have stunted them by moving them to this current res too late.. Roots are wimpy

I generally start off seedlings on a light feeding schedule and work my way up to full strength. I can maintain consistent ppm levels this way (even though Idk what EC my res is really at). It also seemed autoflowering strains may be more sensitive in the beginning. Jc, are you suggesting I...
