Using Miracle Grow Seed Starting Potting Mix For Autoflower - Need Advice

[Scientific]

As soon as I cut the top off it started wilting in my hands not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign

That's the sign that it has started the curing process.

Irradiated is good! That shot just made me feel a little like I was in a tanning parlor.

Do keep an eye on the plants, especially the ones in the center of the LED grow light's footprint, to make sure the plant there isn't getting too much of a good thing. Cannabis grows best and produces most in bright light--like full summer sun--so more light can make the difference between nice greenery and frosty nugs. I have grown both and I'm here to tell ya, bright light and frosty is better!

The second caution is that plants that are flogged hard can outrun their nutrient supply quickly, so staying on top of their feeding and appearance is important. (But don't get greedy and burn the poor little dears...)

My fans actually help bring the humidity down. Perfect conditions for veg!!

Mr. Lahey (topped this morning and spilled juice on the leaf)

Get my 3rd light Thursday and my 4th next week. I also have some PH down coming so I can lower my Ph just a tad! Enjoy!!

Will the 4 300 watt LED's be enough for this first grow? My target is 4-6 oz per plant.

Why don't you ask over on the Grow Lighting Forum?

Just taking a whack at it based on my experience, though, if that's 150 actual watts per plant, then it might be low.

My hydro grow was about 200 actual watts total on one dwarf plant that was about 15" around and pretty flat, so say roughly 1 and a quarter square feet. That little plant gave about 60 grams of buds dry plus about 50 grams of potent sugar leaves. That might be of some help for rough calculations.

I think I'd be inclined to go with your four, 300-watt units into flower and then see how things look, but maybe anticipate adding more wattage?

That's just very back-of-the-envelope noodling. It would be great to hear from people who have experience with your actual units.

Motley crew: about 5 CFLs, 4 LEDs, and a one, 12-watt LED grow light for about 200 actual watts total

If you're taking requests, some snapshots in white light would be welcomed by your fans, especially of the plants themselves.

Bubbles (1) looks like the Platonic Ideal of a cannabis plant.

Mr Lahey's leaf looks like you spilled rocket fuel on it. (Watchoo feedin' them thangs?)

Haha it's some diluted fox farms haha. The shitty thing was that was the leaf I stretched a little too hard during LST.

Mr. Lahey ( rocket fuel spill, and LST combined)

Have a good day everyone. Letting my babies get some sun before the rain sets in for the week.

Plants continue to look great, haircuts and all.

And BTW Mr. Lahey called. He said he wants to move to a bigger pot, can't fully express himself in his current digs.

 

[MrSwishaa]

Peak- a- boo- I see you.

More pics coming later stay tuned .

 

[MrSwishaa]

Julian and Ricky have leaves that are kind of scalloping inwards. Are they getting too warm? Something is going on there...

So are you doing chiropractic LST? (I don't seen any training wires...)

 

[MrSwishaa]

Yea I'm just bending leaves down with my fingers I call it doing plant jumping jacks

Are you talking about the leaf curling up?
