The setup:

strain: Mexican Airlines auto- Fast buds via Seedsman (2019)
STONINGTON BLEND
direct plant method (signature germbag) into 5 gallon vivosun fabric pot.

TAP water- as needed- TDS around 36ppm-pH 5.8-6.0 last tested a month ago- leave out for 2 days before use

lights: Optic 1XL and RapidLED 100w in the tent
Currently under the Optic 1XL

4x2x6 tent shared with SweetNurse CBD @ 4weeks
seed emerged on July 25th.

Plan- do nothing except water-
 
I switched to Stonington blend with my last grow. It's really nice soil. I didn't add anything (nutes) during veg and started adding them during the second week of flower. Its kinda pricey but totally worth it. Looking forward to seeing those grow out for ya!
 
Yes, where did you get the watering rings? Those would make life so much easier in my cramped tent...

I love Stonington soil. The only other amendments I use are liquid squid (after 3 months) and maybe some additional myco. The only problem has become suddenly finding it around here...
 
With autoflowers you should be able to get through the entire grow without nutes.
I selected a sativa heavy strain as they require much less nutes during flower- I will only add nuites if a deficiency happens!
Others have reused Stonington Blend for a second autoflower grow.
 
Thats was my case. I started seeing deficiencies. The bounced back well when I added nutes. I also found it helpful to add a few cups of fresh soil and top dress with it every 2 weeks.
 
Tent ranges : RH 43%-62% and Temps 75f-86f currently RH 59% and 75f (lights out)

I will be increasing water pH: They recommed adding water at pH 6.5-7.0.
 
PLreef, the other plant is in flower and showed pH issues and Cal/Mag deficiency today- added Cal/Mag with a dose of bloom nutes while I was at it!
Thanks for the heads up.

I have moved the seedling under the rapidLED @ 50%. @ 24"
I believe the yellowish color is from too much- lights/nutrients (from Stonington)- temps

Coast of Maine mentions, there may be too much nutients for the seedling and it may slow growth a bit- then rebounds.
I picked a Sativa strain for low nutrient usage- but it also does not tolerate stress well- Backing off for awhile.

For comparison - the plant on the left indica/CBD strain is thriving @ day #34 above ground and required a dose of bloom nutrients 3 days ago.
 
-----BORING----

plant seems to be 3-5 days delayed, but growing OK.

I will post pics after lolipop/top - first of the week.

sativa's are topped only if they are experiencing healthy growth- also they don't like/need defoliation, which makes it a good candidate for the "just water it" grow.
 
SoOrbudgal hahaha same thing happened to me. First time doing outdoors wasn’t sure what to expect and wasn’t keeping track staying busy with the indoor garden. @weedpharma that is a nice set up there. Like someone already said looks ideal for a Scrog.
 
This plant is doing well- Day #21 above ground and it appears to be lagging about 3 days. (which is 10% of the veg time for auto's).

Lolipop and top-
Back into the tent: LED at 23" and 100% brightness under the Chilledlogic.

Autoflowers stretch/flower based on plant maturity and should begin in a 7-10 days.


Plan: continue with doing nothing- Just water it !
