Kind of frustrating. I learned so much during my first grow and was looking forward to keeping that momentum going. Put in 2x Seedsman OG Kush, 1x Seedsman Lemon Haze, and 2x Sweet Seeds Green Poison auto flowering seeds on 10/16. Germinated in jiffy pods and put straight into 5 gallon fabric pots with reused/fresh coco coir.
Been experiencing very slow growth. I don’t know if it’s the reused coco coir, the jiffy pod, the large pot or a combination of all of them but the plants just aren’t growing. Used CFLs during germination and switched to my QB on dim and tried to increase my lighting as the plants grew. Was on 24 hour light schedule the first week or so and then switched to 18/6. I’ve been watering with PH b/t 5.5 and 6.5 as carefully as possible as to not overwater but they have been growing so slow that I’m still not watering to the point of run off.
I’m also having a huge issue with humidity (or the lack there of). I’ve had a humidifier inside of my tent for this grow that is running full blast however humidity is struggling to get over 45%. I’ve even added another humidifier outside of the tent but nothing has changed. Even towards the end of my last grow (similar weather) I’ve never had this kind of problem (usually need to run dehumidifier)and I’m at my wits end trying to solve it.
So here we are. Got 5 plants that are about 3 inches tall and one of them has started flowering. I really don’t know what to do at this point. Been very lightly nuting as the plants still look like babies but with the pistils showing I’ve skipped ahead to transition nuting.
Other than just biting the bullet what can I do with this grow? I can tell you that I’m not enjoying this grow at all and it’s just one problem after the other and I’m thinking this is just going to be a waste. What I would like to figure out is what the hell went wrong so that I can not experience this on the next run.
Was seriously thinking I had a knack for this and was considering adding more tents for a perpetual harvest but this grow has me reconsidering.
