New grow

[Weston]

Hello I have planted these two at the exact same time and was wondering how I could speed up or if I could speed up the tiny one
thank you

I would suggest digging them up and putting them in soil that will provide adequate drainage. Sand and perlite would be a good choice to keep the roots from suffocating as the plants mature. .

Would this be okay considering that there autos, also what would say the marks on the better ones leaves are the light is not that close to cause burns
thank you

Last I checked autos still need oxygen to their roots. Try sharing with us any info you can on what medium you are growing in. Trying to help based on two pics of extremely young plants with no background info is difficult at best. From what little I can see I'm guessing there is some manure in that mix and I see nothing that tells me there is anything in there to enable drainage.

Hey now don't go thinking you can speed up growth by giving them ferts. You gotta be very very patient wait for it with growing weed. And what the other person's saying is truth.......you need air in that soil whatever it is. Get some good lights also and well drained soil. Best to not toss manure into autos your gonna fry them.

I have a mars hydro ts600 and just shop bought peat free compost called jacks magic compost, I have added some sand into the mix so I will see how that goes now will go and buy some perlite at some point too, is there any other advice yous could give me please to have a healthy grow also without spending a fortune on fertilisers.
thank you

There's nothing to speed up. Just have patience and grow a healthy plant. If your gonna add perlite I suggest you do it asap while she's still small. Autos grow pretty fast. If you decide to do it in a few weeks your gonna piss her off and stunt the hell out of her.

There’s nothing you can do to speed it up. You could start watering around the plant, not at the plant. You should have a ring of water around them so those roots need to go out and search for water. The way you’re doing it, they’re drowning after you water them until the soil dries out a little. Those pots look small so you’ll probably have to transplant but I would wait a couple weeks or you’ll likely kill them trying to now. When you move then, use better soil in the next container.

You’re going to have small plants this grow but it’s your first and we’ve all been there. Plus they’re autos so even if everything was on point they’d likely still piss you off😂
