New Grower First ever grow, Northern Lights auto. Wish me luck!

[Sleeper143]

@Sleeper143 must be tough going on the waiting then!
For me it's the lack of experience so doubts creep in (did I feed too much, too little).

Anyway, it looks like someone's happy today at least!

I’m in the same boat as you, I’m just in to week 6 of my first grow so I know exactly how you’re feeling. I keep having to stop myself opening the tent every 5 minutes to check on them lol

So impatience got the better of me and I prised off the seed which was stuck (didn't bury it deep enough apparently) and the membrane.

Unfortunately took off one of the sucker leafs with it. Not ideal but apparently not fatal either... oops!

Day 3, looks like the tips are a bit washed out, maybe my 288ppm water is a tad too nutrient rich for this lil pup.

Will lower the next batch by 100ppm or so, all part of the learning

a bit better focus

First week since a taproot appeared so figured I write up a summay.

So not much change in the last day or so.
Been wondering about the bleached out tips and lack of growth but no idea if its under or over feeding. Stem is red too and read this could be just genetics or a calmag defciency but no idea which.

I thought I was pretty light on nutes for the first batch of water I made at 288ppm starting with 15ppm but I didn't flush the coco and check the runoff ppm before I started so I don't know where it was at. If it was clean then maybe I could have gone with around 400-600 ppm. If the coco ppm isn't that clean, it could have high 1-2k ppm and I wouldn't know. Think I'll flush it next time for peace of mind.

Anyway, I've moved the light down from 24" to 20" yesterday as it is stretching a bit which upped the lux from 10.5k to 11.9k.
Watered as and when the top inch looked dry in a circle around it with varying amounts of 100-200 ml at a time using 1L in total.

Also made up my second batch of nutes for the coming week, 1L of pH 5.8/720ppm and 1L of pH 5.9/710ppm. Starting ppm was around 15 and added CalMag (3ml), Rhizo (4ml) and Canna A/B (1.8ml each) to around pH6.1 and a teeny dab of pH down (you really don't need much mixing litres I'm finding)

Tent environment has been pretty stable but I upped the humidity mid week by putting some water and cotton balls in the tent base as it was a little on the low side (52-55) which brought it up to 60-62% RH

Day 5

Enjoying the learning process but can I just skip to around day 75 and big buds please!
