First Grow

[onurdale]

Hello everyone
I have
1 cookies kush
1 acapulco gold
1 purple punch
1 orange sherbet
1 do si dos(wrinkled one)
I planted them on November 6
I am using bio bizz all mix soil
Tent size 120cmx120cm
Nutrients: Canna products
Light: pure factory pure led 480w
Carbon filter: Hm 467m3/s
In line duct fan: Soler&Palau td-350
I gave them plain water for the first 7-10 days
Then I gave them each 0.75L water containing canna start and rhyzotonic in one sitting
Then when top layer of the soil is was dry I watered them with spray
There were very very small flies around for 2 days but after using cannacure for twice a week, there is non left..
Following photos are taken today
I hope everything is going ok..
Thank you so much for your help Emiliya and 013

Boom first page first visitor! I found it.... more people will follow soon

Keep an eye out for return of the small flies, most likely fungus gnats. Yellow sticky cards attract bugs and they get trapped on the adhesive surface - check your local grow shops or online!

Hello everyone
Thank you for your time to have a look and for your comments..
I have only given drinking water since my last post and these are the first month results. Unfortunately one(purple punch) of them went into the flowering stage and I need your important advice..
It is my first time growing and only mistake I did is that I kept the led lights close to the plants. Distance should have been around 40-50 cms but led was only 25-30 cms away. Anyway here are the photos friends..

Looking good !!
You've got one already flowering?

double posted, sorry. happy fingers

 

[onurdale]

Thank you!
Well yes it is the 31st day and one started blooming somehow..
I don’t think it is normal.. I thought flowering starts after 50-60 days. Any advise is welcome

I’m going to ask a few others to drop in here. @13goody13, @Weaselcracker, @NuttyProfessor

photoperiods = you control when they begin to flower by flipping the lights to 12/12
autoflowers = they start to flower regardless of light hours

I think you are watering too frequently, but you’ve got some deficiency going on too

If it started flowering on its own at 30 days, it seems like an auto might have found its way in there. Also though, a power outage or faulty timer has kicked mine to flowering before, though it usually takes a few days and happens across all plants. I have had autos take 50 days, but never had a photo slip into flower without a definite reason, usually discovered after the fact.
The plant there in the back almost looks like it’s re-vegging, but I think you’re right 13, some kind of deficiency and/or overwatering.
Personally I’d take them off the timer, kick them up to 24 hours of light and see who’s serious about growing.

013 you are one of a kind, thank you for super quick response!
Mine are not supposed to be autoflowers, I bought them from Irish seed bank..
I have watered them in every 4-5 days but will do less now..
Thank you so much for the back up friends!
True, I should have adjusted the ph level of the drinking water but I did not shame on me..

A couple of those kinda look like you might have some kind of critter infestation, maybe Russet mites.

 

[onurdale]

Hello 13goody13
Thank you for the quick response.
Well yes maybe that one could be an auto..
I am posting a closer photo
Lights are on 18 hours now. What difference should I expect to see if I leave it on for 24 hours?
Thanks

Autos can sneak in once in a while. Just like a male can sometimes find its way into a package of feminized seeds. It happens. I think you have something going on with a few of those girls. What can you tell us about your soil and your watering habits?

 

[onurdale]

Thank you for the quick response Nunyabiz
Yes unfortunately I had some very small white flies and I have been using the yellow sticky papers and cannacure for them and they are almost gone..
Do you recommend anything else?
Many thanks

Looking a bit closer at that one, I’m not 100% sure it’s showing flowering. It is possible that your grow room is really cold?
Putting them on 24 will make it impossible for a photo plant to keep flowering, also takes possible faulty timer out of the equation.
I have got photo seeds sent to me when I ordered autos (from a non-sponsor) and there’s always the possibility of weak auto genetics where the plant just decides it leans more toward a photo plant...but your grow doesn’t have that problem.
I don’t water so much on a schedule as I do by feel of the weight of the soil. Sometimes plants need water after 1 day, sometimes it’s more like a week (especially if they are struggling a bit)
Hope you find the right answer here, lots of good info.
For sure take care of the fly problem by using mosquito bits either in your soil or your water, and ALWAYS pH balance

 

[onurdale]

Thank you for the reply scottsquatch
Soil: I started with bio bizz light mix then planted them in bio bizz all mix
Watering: I started with watering them in every 2-3 days and then after 2 weeks so about 4-5 times of drinking water, I gave each of them 1 liter of cannastart and rhyzotonic added water. Then to each half liter of pure drinking water then 3 days ago 1 liter of pure drinking water

 

[onurdale]

Temperature of the grow room is between 22-26 degrees and humidity level is between 52-64
It was really smelly like flowering days in the last 3-4 days till I started the carbon filter running today.
Thank you so much for all the information, appreciate it so much!!

Apologies, I’ve been hit and miss on timing lately but so glad you’ve got Nunya, 13Goody & Scottssquatch watching along also. I started reading Nunya‘s work last year when I first arrived and 13Goody is also a stand up / stand out gardener, don’t know much about Scott’s but that’s my fault too many journals not enough time! I need to read more of all the above if truth be told. See right there I didn’t know mosquito buts worked on white flies - I was about to start naming spray chems.

Agree dont think that’s flower yet - just showing female but those leaf edges are puzzling. I eas wondering if it was due to an excess or a deficiency but if Nunyabiz thinks russet mites then yeah he’s got a keen eye and very sharp noggin

 

[onurdale]

Thank you so much for your kind message. Yes, Nunya, 13goody and scottsquatch showed a lot of care. I cannot thank enough. Well things are going ok, 3 looks fine, 1 looks struggling and benjamin button looks like healing. Just about 5 minutes ago I increased the lights to %50.
I am posting the photos right after this message and looking forward to hear your comments, appreciate it a lot 013! I am also going to post the photo of those tiny flies.
Many thanks and hope you are doing good and chilling!

My first grow
Today is the 37th day and I put the lights up from %25 to %%50... (Using pure factory pure led 480w)
I think 3 ladies (acapulco gold -cookies kush- orange sherbet) looking so far so good
Benjamin button(Do si dos 33) look a like one is getting better
Purple punch is struggling..
Tiny flies on yellow sticky papers are almost gone but any comment on what they are and how they appeared and what should I do in future to prevent them?
Any recommendations are welcome..
Thanks
