Haven't had the chance to get on the net for a few days, the girls are doin grand proff I didn't air the roots yet I've been too busy, the soil's well dried now so no more issues, the tallest one is back to normal completely, the odd leaf is a bit crispy still but they won't be there much longer, the dwarf girl has all crusted leaf edges but at least the parts that aren't dry are back to the dark colour they started off, as for the other 2 one didn't make it past the 1st set of true leaves but the other one is at the same stage jays are at so I'm well happy, 3 out of 5 for the lowlife ak's. I took a few pics on the phone but I'm gonna do a few high resolution ones so you can see the pistils the short one is throwin out compared to the tall one, the tall one has a hell of a lot more budd sites though, I dare say 3 weeks and she'll be a monster 
Thanks for the help too gettin them sorted lads much appreciated.

Hey guys im looking for a little help here.
The auto i have growing popped her head above the ground 15 days ago today but she is still so small. Only about 1" tall with 2 leaves
I have her growing in bio bizz all mix in a box in my shed under a 125w cfl and im thinking it might be too cold in there and its stunning the growth. Does that sound right?
Cheers for any feed back lads.

By the sounds of it your plant has stopped growing because it's too cold, I'd suggest moving it indoors till this cold spell goes or get a hps and use the heat off that.
Hope this helps
Oh just a matter of interest, how big is your box?

Cheers Jay.
Bringing her in is not an option im afraid. My mate has a hps light i might borrow.
The box is about 3x3x3.5 ft.
That sounds ruff Blaaazed

Get that hps if you can... That'll keep your room warm, I'm using 20/4 cycle for my autos mostly to keep the room warm, once this cold weather is gone then I'll switch to 18/6.Cheers Jay.

the best place to get nutes would be somewhere like the new age shop in tallaght village, i would suggest you use something like a bottle of bio bizz grow then when plants are in flower use bio bizz bloom, great stuff and easier to measure than stuff in b and q which is like one cap to forty gallons. lol.
irishmc
if you are having a problem with the clod you need to put the plant in a small wooden box, dont worry about ventelation, they will be fine that small, make sure the light is 1 to 2 inches above the plant no more, no nutes!. i made a box and had a large sheet wrapped all around it to keep heat in, in a confines area a 125w cfl will produce enough heat even in this weather!
blazed
what light are you using and how far from the plant is it, if cfl keep near and when the plants are young i found they dont need loads of ventelation, i only opened a closed cupboard once a day, it keeps the heat and moisture up a bit which the plants like when young, dont have them in too much of a large area, a smaller box is a much better medium when the plants are young because its easier to manage. you can move the plants when they get a bit older and stronger.
you guys dont have to take any of my advise as im only on my first grow but likes lots of other guys i have learned what works and what doesnt, plus read lots and lots of books.
good luck lads

Cheers Jay, I have the plant on a 20/4 cycle already.https://www.rollitup.org/members/luciferateme-288051.html
Luc, Ill try wrap the box i have up as much as i can. I already have that white foam and blankets over it but ill add more and keep it closed up tight for the time.

Yea lol the stuff is rather shit alright, havnt smoked any hash now in a good while. Theres a bit of nice grass around at the moment, big bucks tho. A few of us normaly just go in on a sack and smoke the shit out of it.
Theres some other shit i got my mits on there the other day, brown nearly smells like hash and hay and has a fair few seeds in it aswell. Kinda like the shit in a block but its not in a block just a buds. Ill post up a snap. Theres nice stone off it aswell.

I kept a few mature seeds myself. There not atal like the brick weed seeds i have. The new ones have tiger stripes and the brick ones dont. Grew a brick last year turned out to be a pure sativa...Nice if we hade the climet to grow them to see how it would turn out. Could be some fuckin funky shit if taken care of in the right conditions.
