First grow!! Need advice

Hi guys, I'm doing my first grow. So excited!

So i got this little one, seedling on day 4,
I think she looks healthy so far?
Its RQC Bubble Kush auto.

I'm using coco/perlite, and yesterday gave it some nutes, but info on nutes are conflicting.
Just wanted to ask if its a good idea to continue feeding it nutes in small amount?

Thank you

To add, i used acti vera and root juice in 1/3 recomended amount.

Depends on the strain mate I am currently growing og kush and pineapple chunks but I started with 1×og kush and 3×RQS white widow and I gave them nutes as soon as I first watered them and my white widow all died but the og kush went crazy it stunted for about a week I thought it was gonna die too but instead it's the most resilient plant I have never seems to get upset with temperature changes etc u

Would send pictures but they still sleeping for next 30 mins lol

In coco you are suppose to feed daily to runoff... problem occurs when you start in too big pot, you most likely already did.

BTW she looks just fine...

@Jules1976
Wow, sounds like true science. Trial and error lol
I think I'll keep feeding it just a little bit. I read that coco is sterile so it has no nutrients..
And yes post a pic of your grow!!!

@Bukvičák hmm. Yeah i did as it's an auto with relatively short life. I'm only watering area around the seedling, letting it dry. Don't wanna drown it.
Hope I'm doing it alright. ^^'

Also glad she looks fine!! Was bit worried as she stunted yesterday and today she's growing by hour.

She does look fine though the white widow went yellow within a day of the nutes and they never recovered but yours don't look unhealthy

@Jules1976

Sorry bout that mate. :/
That's why I'm still hesitant with nutes. Today she's getting just plain water. Maybe I'll add nutes only every second time.

Its proving quite stressful. I figure after my first successful grow I'll be able to rest bit easier haha.

If you are able to figure out watering during this stage than the pot is not such a big deal. Most firstgrowers can not... once you pass the seedling stage than you have to start to treat it “like a coco”. Do some research here: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/
Before you start to use only plain water... good luck!

Tell me about the stress I think I'm overthinking everything but first time have been so worried about fucking everything up but 10 weeks in now and they're pretty resilient wait till you put into flower little bastards become even more picky about right conditions teenager's are the worst lol

I'm a rather intuitive type but i also read up tons of stuff. But info just gets overwhelming.
So I water not too little and not too much and i noticed her leaf going down this morning, after watering it perked up.

Your advice is much appreciated!
I'm gonna keep on with 1/3 of nutrients then seems it's not done any damage so far, I'd probably already see it?
Thanks a lot

Aye That's me right now lol !!! :")
I'm sure teenage stage is gonna be chaos. Reading up about LST already, figuring s**t out.

Hello Miacchi, I like to feed and the next 2 times I water with liquid karma and then feed again and repeat that cycle

Thanksfor your advice.

I got biobizz products this time round, algae, cal-mag, activera, fish mix, bloom, top max.

I saw some custom feeding charts for coco that i may follow.
I'll looked up the liquid karma too. Seems that sone products i got are kinda gonna do same thing?

I start feeding to run off around the 3rd day from sprout.........but I start in small pots and transplant.
You'll find it a challenge trying to maintain the proper moisture level in those large pots.
Feed coco to run off.
Never give plain water.
Never let the coco get dry.......ever.

So I'm confused. It was said autoflowers should be planted into their perm pots... But it's challenging to keep those balanced.
Can autoflowers be repotted then? Won't it stunt them too much?
Cheers

I dont mess w autos but yes thats what they say

Thought it would be easier to grow auto first, also need lower THC content. Lol proving to be quite a challenge instead.

Starting autos in their final pot is a myth.........most auto growers start in small pots and transplant.
Even Mephisto, who only sell autos, recommends starting in small pots and transplanting.
I don't know who started the myth that autos are easy and a good choice for beginners?
They're not.
Good luck.

coco is good stuff cuz you cant over water, when it drains off its holding proper moisture air ratio so its good for hydro flood table

So would you advise for me to do a flush in the giant pot as well? If so at what stage?
Thank you
