The Great Auto Showdown

@juicyj89

Lol, I had to check several times, those long narrow leaves...
They did good work on the strain and/or I got lucky with seeds, both plants are almost identical (like you noted) even the timelines have been similar
 
Sure ain't trying to contradict nobody, but if they were mine, I'd wait till your soil got good an dry, then pick up your pot to fill how lite weight it is, then water-feed, them to runoff, they look big enough to me, then pick up your pot an feel how heavy your pot is with all the water in it, then don't water-feed again, until your pot is lite weight again.
Jane likes to go from wet to dry, sometimes my plants are even wilting a little before I water them,
After your plants get a little age on them, a month or so, another good way to tell when you need to water them is when your leaves are looking better than ever, standing very erect, an proud looking, you can pick your pots up then, and it will be very lite weight, too . But they will soon start wilting, if you dont water them.
I always water my plants in a little circle to, as you mentioned above, with seedlings, But after they get a few sets of leaves, I water to runoff, from then to harvest. But everyone does things differently, lol It want hurt a thing if you want to wait another week before you start watering to runoff. Just make sure your soil is good and dry first.

But I would sure lower your light down to about 22-24inches away, maybe 26inches until they start doing better,
I keep my 315 at 18inches when flowering, 22-24inches ,when they are young plants.
What kind of lamp are you running in your light
? What lamp you use makes a huge difference,
imo

I should have added that I know my soil really well. I also do a finger method. I’ll feel down a 1” or so and if it’s not moist and still dry I know I need to water. Understand that I mix my own soil completely and don’t use any type of pre mix or coco. This is why my flux box IS a wooden box. DAAS is totally right and knows a hella lot more than I do on indoor growing. Without any of us being right there it’s totally hard to tell. I’d go with what he’s saying tho. Again, good luck
 
Thank you :) the strain is a complete mystery, a friend of mine visited last year and brought weed with him. I got like 20 bagseeds, already grew two, one of them is in my closet grow, very short and slow growing, smells like tangerine or very fresh mango, the other one is the one with the purple pistils, smells like pine mostly, not very dank. I gues we’ll see. You can check the sisters in the link down my signature
 
Retodd don’t sell yourself short buddy. Everyone knows someone who knows more that’s why I’m happy to have found this forum for my first grow. If anything it will be a big learning lesson. I lowered the lights to about 24 inches above my plants and pots were dry and watered 10 ounces. I’ll check back in on Saturday. Thanks again grow family
 
@Daas it grew to 3 feet but buds were spaced out so when all is said and done I will have just a little over an ounce ,I know the Jack H will way out produce it lol
 
I prepared the pots for the autos to go in today ,then I took a break to puff and this little guy was doing laps around the bottle cap 10 minutes and he was still going strong so I took pity on it and moved it to the plants

DimeBagKilla I figured I’d show you what I was talking about on my watering technique. You can see the dryness of my soil around the outside of both my plants and how one is in a custom wood flex box and the other in a air bag. I mound the soil up around the fluxed plant about 11” because I know that the roots reach out that far. On the airbag is about 8-9” circle. I also use 16.9oz bottles where I’ll have 2 1/16th” holes punched in to control the flow of my watering. Now, I went on about how I know my soil....it’s a mix of peat, worm casting, guano, bone and blood meal, and tons of vermiculite. My light is a viparspectra 450w led and it’s 22-24” off the top of the girls. I’m running 24/7 light and fans, 1-9” and 1-5”. You want your fans to blow directly on your plants because it strengthens your stalks. Different strains will want different amounts of nutrients, light, etc. As a norm I’m a outdoor grower and this is just my second indoor grow. Outside I’m a beast grower, but from lots of help from others on this site and tons of reading I’m getting really good at indoor.. Daas, Canuck, and oldjarhead really know their shit on indoor. I know soil and organic growing and just transferred my knowledge to indoor. I’ve gotten really good at training plants too. Outdoor I’d have to grow out and flat, so that’s why I’m trying spiral and flux on this indoor grow. Right now, like I said in my comment, I go by the feel of the soil. DAAS is going by weight of your bag. It’s all a learning process. At my girls young age they are averaging 8oz apiece once a day. By the time I feed them next will depend on how dry the soil is. Good luck brother! 🙏🏼✌🏻 Both of mine are basically 3 weeks old. Sr gets her sugar leaves taken off as soon as they grow and Jr only has a few. Jr is being trained at a 90 degree angle right now. It’s hard to see her training wires in the pic. Sr has 10 on her so far. I have to adjust and add more to her every 3-4 days for growth.

Retodd thanks buddy! I’m going to post pictures tomorrow. However by lowering the light yesterday the healthiest of the bunch doubled in size nearly. I will position my fans better I had all of them bouncing off the walls in opposite directions but none directly in them. I watered yesterday just as you did but In a 6 inch diameter with a spray bottle. Maybe tomorrow you’ll be able to tell me if I should keep my plants or just restart which I would hate to do
 
DimeBagKilla Did you put them all right underneath the light too? I keep my mix in a 1/2 gallon jug that I transfer to my watering bottle. Spray bottles are for occasional folier feeding...lol. Btw, thx LurkingInTheGrass I had to take off more sugar leaves right after the pix too. Do that at least once a week too...lol
