Six Shooter Auto

[Dude]

Mistake

Dropping seeds without soil.

Not being able to control temp of heat mat.

Basic mistake of over watering.

Putting a led 5w light over them to high.... Stretching them.

Rapid Rooter getting knocked over by flying dog toy.

Potting in miracle grow to tide me over until my soil arrives.

Making the mistake of having to now transplant an Auto.

And I thought I knew what I was doing because I read a lot about it.



Fixes

Get soil

Heat mat temp control purchased.

Lighten up on watering.

Lighting has me stumped, could use some advice.

Flying dog toy, don't let others through dog toy!!!!

Potting in miracle grow and having to transplant an Auto, crossing fingers and will make prayer to weed God's.

Thinking I knew what I was doing, failure is another step in learning.


I'll update you when I figure out another way to torcher my plants.....✌️

You just have to lower the lights, or raise whatever they are sitting on to get the correct distance between them and the lights 👍

[Dude]

Better pictures of the hostages.

Off to a good start Dude! I'm missing my 6 shooter right now, but i have some Bubba Kush to tide me over 😁

I just planted Mass Shooter: critical mass crossed with 6 shooter, and I'm really excited to see her take off!

[Dude]

Mcubed476, living and learning , nothing ever goes just right, well sometimes but not often. I'm just working my way thru my mistakes, hopefully the plants can handle my abuse. If I kill these off I'll drop two more and keep going. Thanks for your positive outlook and kind words..✌️

[Dude]

Mcubed476, this is where I'm at right now. Thinking about keeping the light on all night so they can get stronger. Live and learn. I'm determined, just need to learn how to grow and how to understand the plant and what she's telling me. Reading is one thing, doing is completely different thing but very addictive. Just feel bad that these two have to be my crash test dummies....

[Dude]

Hey people, possibly over reacting because this is my first time actually doing this. Information helps a lot but when you care about the plant and not just getting baked it's different. Don't get me wrong,
Wake and bake it's great and the physical benefits are really good as well. By the way I'm baked and I ramble on right now. Anyways just wanted to say thanks to those that offered help, very kind of you and I really appreciate that. Pretty sure the twins are doing better, they look better to me. Both plants have one of the Cotyledons that hasn't popped up like the other, normal?

Wishing all you father's out there a happy father's day.

It's hard to tell in the pic what is going on. Could we get a photo from the top? Birdseye view might help to see whats happening.

[Dude]

Hey organic growers, I'm going to use Kind Soil, on the site it says to use carbon filtered water, what do you guys and girls use? Any info on the water would be great. Thanks....

[D.A.A.S.69]

Dude, tap water is what I use, next time you might want to try cfls,for the first couple of weeks, that's what I use an I keep them 3-5inches away, closer if they start stretching.
GoodLuck,

[Dude]

Mcubed476, sounds like you're going to have a nice harvest with all those planted.

[Doubledealing72]

They won't be too far behind the violet kush that's in the tent right now lol. I'm really looking forward to this harvest lol.

[Dude]

Mcubed476, I'm sorry for not getting you the photo, birds eye view, also there name of our local Head shop.. Lol.... Here's the photo Mc..

[JohnEmad]

they are looking normal. just takes time for them to get started.

[Dude]

D.A.A.S.69, Ya, I'm trying to use this 5w led and I'm struggling because it's so weak and they're both wanting the hotspot of the light if you could really can it that. They seem to like it, but then again I'm a new grower so how would I know. I can tell you that when I get the led off them they have a deep green color. I'm guessing because all I had was miracle grow they're getting zapped with stronger nutes from the soil the Taproot is growing in. Then again first grow so all I have is what I've read that I can try and apply to what's going on. I could keep speculating but that's all it's going to be until I get some grows behind me.✌️

[Dude]

Here's a pic with the lights off.

[Dude]

What's everyone's thought on putting them in the tent under the 2000 @41"?...... Don't want to beat them up anymore than what I've already done if possible. Soil won't be here until Thursday, then I can put in the 7g. A bit apprehensive about transplanting an auto for my first go but what the hell, live a little.. Lol. Any advice would really be appreciated on that subject. Was thinking of keeping a bit of the Miracle grow with the Rapid Rooter so it would hopefully help the transition?

[Korn]

It’s only 2 small plants. Can’t you manage to put them outdoors in natural sunlight for a week or two until they get going a little better and your soil shows up? They would be easy to conceal at this point if need be.

[Dude]

Korn, legal State here so that wouldn't be a problem. Now keep in mind this is my first grow. My concern because I don't know is this, I'm worried about bugs getting in the plants and also worried about more stretching. As I said this is my first ever grow so please forgive me if my concerns are wrong. Thanks for stopping by Korn✌️

[Korn]

Less likely to stretch in full sunlight. Bugs? well a small cardboard box or fish aquarium with some window screen over the top should keep them out.

[Dude]

Korn, thanks for your information, like I said, after a few grows it's been a bumpy start but everyone's still here so doing ok. I'll never start seedlings again without there soil ready to go. Any input on transferring Auto's? Thanks again Korn.

[Dude]

Without a few grows behind me., sorry blaming bad grammar on the edibles and lack of coffee ✌️
