Hi all,

I am new to this and have started my first ever indoor grow so any and all help from anybody is much appreciated :) I'm growing Autoflowers (Sweet Tooth and Royal Haze Matic) I'm in the veg stage. 29 days in total from placing the seedling in to a 2litre plant pot (Used small pot as have limited space in the Pc Grow Box Height- 26" Width 8") I'm using Plagron All Mix soil for this grow. I have added no nutes yet as i dont know how to use em and when to give them to the plants. (I have bio bizz grow and bio bizz bloom nutes) The LED's im using are 3 x 15watt ones. The temp range in the box is 21 - 24 degrees C. it is air cooled with pc fans. The light schedule is 18/6. Have no signs of pests (Thankfully) I have left the watering until the pots felt really light when i lifted them.

Just wanted to know if they are looking good in yer opinion. Also when should i add the nutes and roughly how much? I've looked online to find out but there are so many different opinions out there. All info and opinions welcomed :) Thanks all.

Here are some pictures of my grow on Day 29


Picture 1 - 3 are Royal Haze Matic (Left) and Sweet Tooth in the grow box.

Yes im goin to start off with a 1/2 r 1/4 nutes and up the strength as the grow continues just a bit iffy on when to add the nutes. Some people say two weeks into veg but other say once i add the nutes the plant will stop growing. Id rather my plants to be taller before it stops growing.
 
subscribed. I would wait until your plants are 4-5 inches tall and have 5 nodes of growth to start your plants on 1/4 strength nutrients and gradually increase it to full strength nutrients. here is a Bio Biz nutrient feed chart

Hey John thanks for your reply. Currently the sweet tooth is a hight of 4" with the 5th node starting to appear, as is the Royal Haze Matic but with a height of 6". The sweet tooth seems ta be growing at a hight of 1/4 inch a day while the R.H.M grows at 1/2 inch. I might start on 1/4 of bio bizz grow soon if not later but in the next few days, today would be Day 30 so i'll post more photos later.
 
Hi all on Day 32 now. Took measurements of the Sweet tooth and Royal Haze Matic today.

My Royal haze is standing at 7 n 3/4" while the Sweet tooth is at 5". The sex for my two girls were noticeable yesterday which is good everything is going ok. Later today when lights are on i will add bio bizz grow, Ill keep you guys update :)
 
Lights back on and just added 1/4 ml of bio bizz grow to both my ladies along with 500ml of water for each plant. Hope everything will go okay and i will update you all with photos in the next couple of days =).

I'm also going to start LST once it gets a little taller. I have never done it before but if any tips or advice yes please, take care everyone.

Hi all just a quick update on my grow...im at Day 74 now and i think the Royal Haze is nearing the end of its cycle but i am not sure. The trichomes on the RMH are starting to turn orange. They are very noticeable but you can't really tell in the pictures. I am just wondering do i wait for them to all turn orange b4 i start to harvest them. I have uploaded some pics of it so if any one could have a look and tell me their views on it. Any and all help is appreciated :) And if anyone could tell me the best way to harvest them and dry them out. thanks all. pics are below :)

the white pistils turn orange as the plant matures. you need a 30x jewelers loupe to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect.

I use a portable drying rack to dry my buds, it usually takes 7 days until the buds are just dry enough to for the bud to break off the stem. I then cut all the buds off the branches and place them into storage containers. I take the buds out of the storage containers and place them into a bowl to air out for at least 15 minutes a day then place them back into the storage containers for at least 2 weeks.

When you repot them, I suggest planting them deep. Up to the first set of leaves. Are they staying in that tiny box the whole grow? They will never fit
