Trouble in seedling town...Help

And we’re off!!!






My girls today!! 26 days old ( 3 days since transplant) Thought the names were fitting since they have given me so much grief and they’re wild :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me through this so far!!

Ya’ll :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:


I received my autos :seedling::heart: ( they are autos this time :joy_cat:)

Question… Would I be able to grow a couple of them ( auto ) in the same tent as these girls? Or should they be in their own place? We are seriously considering transitioning an upstairs closet to grow the autos in. ( same room my grow tent is located )

Benefits of being empty nesters… space :joy_cat::joy_cat::joy_cat:
TIA :yellow_heart:

if you have ROOM for them it doesn’t matter if photos and autos are “mixed” in same grow area. it’s a spatial need only for room to grow that would inhibit it for you i would think :slight_smile: (and finishing times of course, might have to rotate some out to flowering before others)

With photos in veg on 18/6 Autos can grow all the way to harvest, they flower when they want to
Someone told me 20 on 4 off from start to finish was best for Autos, IDK?
I switched from 6 on 2 off to 5 on 1 off after that. still 20 hours of light per day.
If you want to see all the abuse I put my 1st White Widow Auto through and how she looks:

@TheVirginian @Mr_Wormwood i probably should’ve asked this in the beginning. When do you age the girls? They sprouted on 7/12/21. I guess I’m confused on germination vs. veg vs. bloom. I keep a calendar to keep track of what I’m doing and I think I might be off. I have the girls at 36days old today.

Thank you for all the help me through this first grow :purple_heart: ( today’s photo shoot :joy::joy: ) honestly I can’t believe how much they’ve grown in just 6 days.

although i write on the cup/pot the germinated seed goes into WHAT date it went in there. i start the aging from actual “birth date” (popped up through soil :wink: ) others may do differently :slight_smile:

Okay, that’s how I did it as well. I just figured start counting day one on the day they popped through. Their “birth” from soil day :rofl::joy::rofl:When do you know when they are in veg and not in germination anymore. I know I’m way past germination…thank goodness!! That was stressful :grimacing::sweat_smile:! I’m just trying to accurately have the weeks on my calendar the closest I can. For example I have this week being week 5 in veg. ( I counted the whole first week as germination period. )
Thank you again so much!!!

Hi all,
Call me sentimental :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, but I like sharing progress with the first group that has made this grow a success.

We are on day 93 ( give or take a day )



Thanks again for all of the guidance and support :white_heart:

I think…a few things…not sure I would be using that soil…I would stick to what everyone else is using…Fox Farms or lucky frog…To germinate just toss the seeds in a ziplock bag and let it soak for 24 hours…the only thing I look for…is it floating? If it’s floating. I plant super shallow barely covered in the jiffy pod and use a solo cup. Then after two or three weeks plant it in a Big planter with the good soil. Your lights are too high…you want the lights right right right on top of the plant. The seedlings need warmth but nothing crazy. I would stop using the heater and just plant shallow and let the lights warm the soil and cup. Also you don’t want to over water here…use a spray bottle and mist as needed.

Thank you!! :blush:

This couldn’t come at a more perfect timing. I just dropped 2 WW autos and I’m having some anxiety related to how hard it was for my first time to grow the 3 I have going now. For my soil medium now, I use FFOF and FFHF. I love Natures Living Soil and use this as well.

I need to go back to my calendar :sweat_smile:, I think this is starting week 2 of veg. My one and lonely auto. The other 2 seeds that I dropped in water to germinate have taproots and I will be planting them in soil today :grimacing:. This is the part where I kill them :sob:. I mixed ffhf yesterday with a little perlite to help keep the soil fluffy added distilled water until Moist and am letting most evaporate before planting. I think I was suffocating them before.
Wish me luck :crossed_fingers:t2: :white_heart:
