Sometimes doing nothing is the best.

How long are you going to be on a 18-hour (or more?) light schedule? You have three each, auto-flowering and photoperiodic. That and container size will play their part in plant size. If you limit your auto-flowering plants' container size to two gallons, it'll keep them smaller. They also might cut their vegetative period short a few days, IDK.

I forget - are you growing all six in soil or soiless, or...?

Regarding the issue of light schedule, any suggestions on what I should do? I am growing the WW autos and CB Dream (not auto). Once the WW starts to flower do I need to go to 12/12? What will that do to the CB Dream? Or can I extend the 18/6 even though the WW has started to flower?
 
The photo will begin to flower under 12/12, the auto will grow slowly under 12/12. The auto will flower out faster under 18/6 while the photo continues in veg.

Very confused about when to water - i soaked on planting - have not watered since two days ago - soil still damp.

Just spray water the leaves 2-4x a day...soil only needs to be lightly moist as the roots develop. Overwatering is #1 mistake.

I will be trans potting into Foxfarm ocean forest FX14000 in 5 gal grow bags - currently in Black Gold seedling mix

I have been agonizing over light schedule. Thinking I would wait to see when the WW starts to flower where things are at and decide, with input from the community, what to do then.

R u suggesting smaller pots for the autos?

Stick with 5 gallons or larger. 20/4 is what many breeders recommend running autos.

Oops, didn't see you were mixing photos and autos. You can grow both of them at 20/4 (though for a photo I would compromise a little and drop it to 18/6 or even 16/8) and then after 6-8 weeks you can flip the light to 12/12 and that will activate the photo's genetics to begin flower. The autos will begin to flower by showing pistils in approx 4-5 weeks...they will continue to grow even @ 12/12...

It all works out in the end. :goodluck:

Excellent - I now have a plan - Thanks!
 
CONCERNED - should I be? Two of my six plants are droopy. They have been a bit droopy from the start. Others are doing OK but progressing what seems slowly to me. Do I ave a problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the advice. Based on input I have received here and in other journals I reduced watering, moved lights to 30 inches and added Rapidstart when watering (every watering?) Plants seem to be responded to these measures - yeah!

Its hard to resist watering every day. I wait till my soil looks and feels dry, then i wait one more day ! So far so good with this watering regimen for me
 
You can take a solo cup of dry soil then lift and compare that with a fully watered cup. Don’t water again until the plant cup is at least half the weight of the dry cup. In soil cannabis benefits from a wet/ dry cycle.
