Day: 28

First 4 auto flowers are doing good it seems, pinched the top once, I’m new to this and was scared lol Added a cheap 30 light on amazon for my seedlings ton free up room. Any idea how far away the light should be ? I believe it’s 30 watts

Learning as I go, tested my water ph, it’s around 6.0 It seems. Gave a 1/4 teaspoon of super thrive wit the watering this morning

Joe85 I’m still trying to figure out the height of the light. Any input is welcomed , as I have read so much about the same cob x6 and cheap Chinese light I start seedlings under

Robibus Light distance with Leds are hard. Manufacturer should give you an idea. Most say 18-24” on the larger LED diodes for flower and 24”+ for veg. Smaller say 18” for veg and 12” for flower. It’s delicate finding the sweet spot. Watch your plants closely if you do move it in.

Cindy Lol. My manufacturer said .5 meters to 1 meter. That’s a BIG variance! If too far, plants will stretch - too close and they burn. Stretch isn’t always bad - if you’re trying to clone (I’ve got a money maker strain far from light for this purpose...)

Day: 15

Seem to be doing ok, just water so far light on 24 hours still , started 2 more , 1 ak and 2 g glue. When should i transplant .... today ?

Greenhouseguy95 Nono keep them in the cup man. I’ve been trying to help everyone with this , and nobody listens:p Take a peak at my grow. Use it as a baby tutorial essentially. I have picture of the roots uploaded throughout days of the grow it will give you good reference on when to transplant. She barely has a root system established, let her create one and want more space before you put her in a much larger pot.

Greenhouseguy95 If your temps are only at 66f get them up to atleast 70. 66f is suitable for night when the lights are off.

Greenhouseguy95 You could even bring your humidity up a tad for the next week or so. Between 60-80 depending on strain

Moved the plants down to next shelf, light is now 23” from top of plant not 10” Thoughts on this ? This light came with no paperwork it was shipped wrong by amazon , just kept it anyway , might be 1000watt ? Thoughts on distance ? Thanks

Cindy From what I read , Unfortunately there is no set distance on LEDs and it can take weeks before a plant shows the problem so it’s not always obvious. Top leaves show damage first. Further away with LEDs better. I have my 100w LED 30” above tallest leaf

Joe85 Thanks, that website it’s great for information. I’ll see how things are looking in the upcoming days before I adjust height again. When should I transplant these into there permanent 4 gallon container?

Cindy I believe it takes 3-4 weeks for root development when via seeds? I’d suggest you check out other grows timelines to see. I haven’t done via seed in years.

I just took the sandwich bags off the top, they look alittle wilted I’m hoping no bags on top help this, soil still moist from original planting. Thoughts on what to do ?

Cindy Check temps and humidity. pH if you have a tester. (I don’t yet). Otherwise - the hardest thing of all - walk away. Haha

The gorilla glue seeds have sprouted enough for dirt. A day behind the ak The ak seeds have showed themselves up from the dirt! My first two seeds have become a plant👍🏿 How long do I leave the “green house” sandwich bag on for ? Thank you

Cindy While I don’t know how long exactly - I know WHY you do it. Clones and seedlings require a higher humidity level. The baggie helps keep the humidity in.

The 2 ak auto flower seeds have a long tap root. Set led light up, pre watered dirt , dropped seeds in and covered with sand which bag. How far should my light be away ? I’ve read several different distances ? The third pic is the gorilla glue I’m giving another day for longer tap root. Interesting one strain can be behind the other I thought under same conditions.

Cindy Distance depends on wattage and type of light- that’s why youve read so many different heights. https://www.growweedeasy.com/how-far-grow-lights

Cindy Above is the website I found best for distances. I bookmarked because I have so many different lights and I can’t remember all the info. Haha

Day: 3

These 2 ak seeds popped, gonna give them a bit to get a longer tap root ? Thoughts? 1 of the gorilla glue looks the same , the other just split no visible root yet

ClosetQueen87 Best of luck to you!

Joe85 Thank you, ill be sure to check out your grow. Any advice on nutrients to use ? I don’t know much about that yet

ClosetQueen87 I just switched from general hydroponics, to the advanced nutrients sensicoco line. They have a standard Sensi line too if you are growing in soil. The Sensi lines are ph perfect, they are supposed to balance themselves. I’ve heard good things but this is my first run with them and auto flowers in general. It’s all about the learning.
