One additional note about autos is that if you screw up somehow and stress them out, you may not be able to recover before the plants die off, whereas for photos, you can keep them in veg until they've recovered and flip to flower from there.

Can't comment on the CMH light. I'm running an LED that is pulling ~260 watts when the intensity is dialed down to 40% during the seedling stage. RE the seed/plant type, it just comes down to what you're trying to accomplish. Autos grow fast (8-12 weeks on average), and they tend to stay...

If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Bruce Bugbee, he has some great videos on growing herb, such as this one: He gets super into the science. Again, to each their own when it comes to germination style. Lots of people use paper towels. Heck, even the breeders at Mephisto Seeds recommend doing so...

I crashed and totaled my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in August 2020. I custom ordered a 2021 to replace her, and it arrived at the port in Baltimore from Italy yesterday. ETA for delivery to me is sometime in April. In the meantime, I'm driving my used crossover. Not the same thing haha.

I'm growing in FFOF myself. Following is a pic of an autoflower I'm running that is day 31 from sprout as of yesterday, though I've realized that I overfed with Cal-Mag and now she is in the infirmary and I'll be fighting to salvage her. Please stay away from mixing soil and coco. Coco and...

Looking nice and healthy!

Yup, blizzard warning just received from the national weather service. Snow is already blowing sideways, but winds are expected to increase to upwards of 45 mph. Almost whiteout conditions here.

I don't know about you @putembk, but snow is just starting to come down where I'm at. No indication of snowmageddon yet, but the games have begun

Your post isn't really setting up forum members to answer your question. Please provide details such as what you are growing in, what light, temps, RH, etc. Coco vs. a medium such as Fox Farms Ocean Forest, for example, are very different.

Stay warm and safe, bud (no pun intended)! I went out on Wednesday night to stock up on groceries and dog food, as I, too, have no plans on going anywhere this weekend. My city is forecasted to get 18-24" of snow or more. Keeping my fingers crossed that we avoid any power outages.

First world problem: my LED light has dimming in the form of 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, thus I can't increase the intensity "little by little." For illustration, the power draw goes from 392W at 60%, to 558W at 80%, to 690W at 100%. I'm quickly growing tired of setting the dimmer, and then lowering...

Hope you'll keep this updated, I would enjoy watching your auto run

How old is your auto in this pic?

+1 Purple can be caused by magnesium deficiency (your third pic also shows some purple branches in addition to the veins you referenced). Cold temps can cause it, and it's also natural in some strains. LED lights can cause purple, too, but in this case I would expect the purple to show...

Just a quick update, I strongly believe the issue I was having with my first batch of seeds was due to underwatering. However, since I used to grow in soil ages ago, I switched back to soil, made some changes to improve the tent environment, and stopped being so shy about the water. Things are...

FWIW I recently planted some seeds in 3 gallon fabric pots with Ocean Forest, but I scooped out the top center -- roughly the size of a softball -- and filled that hole with my local nursery's house made seed starter mix. Today is day 7 since sprouting and no sign of nute burn (yet LOL).

You mentioned growing in a 3x3x6 space, is that a grow tent in your basement? If so, you don't really need both an intake fan and an exhaust fan; when the exhaust fan runs, it will naturally pull fresh air in through the vents at the bottom of the tent. I was recently struggling with humidity...

Some companies such as Sweet Seeds maintain a list of approved retailers on their website

And what are you PHing your water to?

Thanks for the soil info! What nutrients are you adding to the Ocean Forest? I think I'm going to dump the plants and start over this weekend with soil. Unfortunate to waste the seeds, but I don't envision them suddenly taking off, and given they are all autos, time isn't on my side.
