1st grow journal.

The plants in the develop box unquestionably smell now, yet it just ended up plainly detectable inside the most recent couple of weeks. Indeed, even now it's not all that terrible, and you would need to be in an indistinguishable room from them to notice it.

UPDATE:

yesterday was feeding day once again. Its looking like i need to be checking if these plants need water more frequent. I walked into my room to see that one plant was completely wilted. After a watering and a good night rest it bounced back pretty nice. I am watering each plant with 1gal of distilled water phd at 6.1 with 1ml of each of the flora trio nutes as well as 3ml of calmag. I have bumped the intensity of the light it is now at 50/90/90.

now i have a question. Do you all water with a set amount of water? How much water is enough water? I always het runoff jist curious about what you all do.

Your plants look beautiful! It's best to listen to the plant when watering as opposed to following a set amount on a schedule because each plant is different and many factors affect a plant's water needs including number of leaves, temperature, humidity, and growing medium. Plants continue to drink more and more water as they get bigger because each leaf is constantly evaporating water, which sucks up water from the roots like a straw. (The more leaves, the greater the humidity in the air, and the more water the plant drinks) If you're already watering your plants thoroughly enough to get runoff water out the bottom and the plants are still drying out, it means you likely need to water plants more often or find another way to add extra water at a time. For example you could possibly transplant plants to a bigger container, which will be able to hold more water at a time.

If there's one tiny thing, the plants look a touch dark to me, which could be a sign of too much Nitrogen. Giving plain pH'ed water for a few waterings could help them use up what's in the soil and what's being stored in the leaves. It's tempting to want to give lots of nutrients but it's important to remember that nutrients are like a multivitamin to your plants, while light is like food. Eating a bunch of multivitamins will make you sick, but eating a bunch of food will make you bigger! It's important to add lots of light to get plants to grow, but giving more than the optimal amount of nutrients can actually keep your plant from reaching its full potential. I only say anything because your plants look great (and actually it could just be the LED lighting!)
 
Hi Farmer, I've fallen into 2-3 feeds a week. Through most of the grow 1/2 a gallon per 3 gallon pot of coco/perlite seems to work.

I love my grow but I also try to control the amount of time it sucks up so when I make a gallon of nutes I typically do a runoff watering right then but save the leftover for a lighter feed later in the week. No real grow reason for that, it just saves me making nutes twice a week.
 
Thanks for the information and good word. Yeaaah, my plants are definitely nitrogen rich. I messed up and did not mix anything into my soil and i am using FF Ocean Forest.
 
Hi Farmerfran -- What Nebula said about the watering schedule -- Best to listen to your plants!
Also what Nebula says about the Nitrogen, maybe try just giving them some plain ph'd water and see what happens, on the other hand, I used the FF Ocean Forest with 2 chocolate skunk auto's and they where a dark green right from the start and are turning out great - maybe just genetics, maybe FF soil, maybe what Nebula said about the lighting -- They do look great!

Yay! Seed day is the best day! If you are growing auto-flowering strains you can't go wrong with Mephisto! As for the photoperiod strains Jack Herer is legendary! It looks like you've actually got lots of great genetics there :) Are the seeds all feminized?
 
Haha, Seed Day is indeed the best day. Crazy thing is I ONLY bought the 3 (gave me 4) white widow x big bud fem, 4 fresh candy fem, 2 northern lights fem, and 3 autoflower stitch love potion ( gave me 8 regular. All the rest of seeds were free because of bitcoin. All of them with the exception of the love potion are female. I am glad to finally have this 1st transaction done with....i must admit i was anxious when i seen my package just hanging out in customs for a few days.
 
Fuck yeah!!! Dem seedsman bitcoin freebies make you light-headed, haha.
Can't wait to start on my seeds bro, just like you.

I also started with bagseed, and hoping to make it through to harvest. But just like you, I CANNOT WAIT to start my seedsman grow. I'm definitely gonna grow autos for my 2nd grow. <3

UPDATE:

Just switched over to flowering yesterday. Plants are about 10 weeks old. I have noticed that some leaves on the very bottom of plant have yellowed. Some have crisped up or developed brown spot or 2. My initial thought is nitrogen def; however my plants are also still on the darker side and some leaves show clawing.

besides that problem everything is going pretty smooth.

now that i am in flowering is there anything that you all have had problems with or anything that i should really pay extra close attention to?

I agree, they look good! Is it possible to get a picture of the plants in the setup in natural light so we can get a better look at it?
