Project: Fast learner

Just saw my seedlings we out of the riotcubes and decided to plant. First time growing fast flowers and only second grow ever so wish me luck. Any tips on when to transfer from the airpots?

For legal reasons I just want to state these are growing in South Africa where it is legal to own up to 4 plants per household.

Day 5 and I upped the lights from 40% to 100% and once the first real set of leaves are out then I’ll transplant them to the big pots and turn on all the lights.

Currently just dosing Shogun Start.

With Autos, Ive always found that getting them into their final pot as fast as possible so you don’t stunt your growth. Looking good, keep up the great work and you’ll have a awesome run.

Do you know what your temps are like, day high? And night low? Looks like you have some purple coming through on the new growth? Never seen that before on seedlings.

Are you giving nutes? Looks like you could have a bit of tip burn. You should be good for a week or two without feeding in them sized pots for seedlings. I know it’s incredibly hard to just sit and watch them grow, you feel you must have to do something and surly a little something is only going to be a good thing. Don’t worry in a few weeks you have plenty you’ll be able to tinker with.

Peace and love

Yeah feeding Shogun Start at the moment as it’s really gentle but will swap to water only for the coming days. Only feeding 250-300ml to all of them on a daily/every two days schedule as it’s quite hot and dry in the tent due to movement fan and light. Temps have been up and down recently due to weather but approx 60-70% RH and between 10 and 23 degrees Celsius. The one strain I have in there is a red plant so that’s where the purple might be coming from.

Oh and just to your previous point these are not autos but fast flower photos.

Day 9

They are starting to look like real little plants. Lights are on 20/4 at 100% power about 25-30cm above.

Coming along nicely ohlordy.

If you have anyway of adding a bit of heat until it starts to get a bit warmer outside, you’ll see a bit more growth I believe. I’m using a small oil filled radiator and it helps my temps massively.

I’m looking forward to see how this develops.

Keep up the great work.

They have a good temp with the lights in the tent during the day. I was monitoring today as I was home. Really excited on how fast it’s going.

Day 12 was a big one. It’s transplant day.

The roots are well formed and I don’t think I’ll get any stress or shock as the airpots really help the soil stay together.

Also first day on proper nutes. Back on with Terra Aquatica Tripart.

Mixed to 1st True Leaves recommended dosage of 0.6ml/L of all three and added some ecothrive trace as well.

Each plant 500ml of nutes

Along with bigger pots come bigger lights so now running all the lights on 20/4 timing and not just the Viparspectra.
