First grow Seedling day 4

Hi guys, so this is my first grow ever, im super excited!!

Seedling popped out of soil 1 day after planting. Its a RQS Bubble Kush auto.

Day 4 currently.
Does it look healthy to you growthwise for this day? I saw photos of seedlings being bigger on this day..

Also im using biobizz coco/perlite, so is it advisable to start with low dose of nutes? I did give it little biobizz Activera and root juice yesterday in the water. Im using filtered water with added mag cal , to lower the PH of my tap.

Seems okay so far??


Thank you

Yeah they look good man but be careful with the nutes. They are very sensitive at the seedling stage and supposedly the cotyledons have all the nutrients that a seedling needs for the first week or 2 of its life. After the seedling grows 4 true leaves, then you can start giving it light nutrients.

Coco grows are more in depth than soil grows so pretty balsy to run a coco on your first grow! Props to you sir, you will learn a lot! Good luck! They look good so far

Plants look good. But coco is a very involved process as I grow in coco. Please keep us informed and remember no question is a dumb question. Welcome to RIU and good luck with your grow.

Cheers guys! Little lady seems to be thriving!
I liked coco because of its properties, as there's little risk of soil diseases or pests. Its actually easy to control the humidity of it so far i think.
Doing well on very weak solution of nutes, 20/4 light cycle, 20-25C, and 70% RH

Mars hydro LED 600w. Got it under since day 1 at 24". Thought I'd get the "starter" kit for now, I'm sure once i get hang of it I'll upgrade. So far super happy with them. Produce just enough heat and light, combined with inline fan gives me optimal conditions.

Sounds pretty decent for a starter grow. Just a heads up that fixture is only 100 true watts. It will do fine on a single plant, just don’t expect super dense buds or super high yield. Rule of thumb is 32 true watts per square foot, while most advance led growers push for 40-50 watts per. Good luck!

2x2x4... lol sorry us Americans are behind and still on the imperial lol. LST the shit outta that thing! Pheno’s are easy to control size and height while autos will do as they please. Those guys are gonna double in height during flower so LST’ing during veg will be key for your height clearance!

LMAO oh ya i dont do °F, gal, ft , gotta convert each time as well!

I will do read up a lot about it hahaha
Defo gonna tie this one down!

Also, I've read a post about guy just totally neglecting his auto, then actually dropping it, ended up fimming then topping again, and he got a monster plant not that i plan to do it, but some people say that fimming early will definitely increase size and yield!
Trial and error.
