Yeah 1/4oz or 1/2oz is more than enough for me. I'm doing this for myself not to make cash money on. Although my killer buds will probably be sought after at least in my circle of smoker buddies and close friends. Simply because what's going around here is just dried up headache inducing low end commercial stuff. All the good stuff is on the college campus and those spoiled kids aren't sharing the love
It's not about money. I have horrifying back pains 90% of the day, and it makes me loose sleep too. For me, this is the only thing that works without getting me hooked to RX Drugs and spend $1000s of dollars going to a doctor who is getting paid to turn me on to whatever is new.

As far as the soil bugs, get some playbox sand and lay an inch thick layer at the top. Kills them quickly and efficiently.

I Hate Soil.

How do you water through the soil and won't that stress my young plant? I only saw 1 soil bug but i know its a compounding problem.

The sand should have nothing in it that would cause harm to your plant.

The water runs through the sand and moistens the soil. What this does is stop all of the older guys from coming up, which kills them off because the sand dries quickly.

I had to find this out the hard way myself when i recently started two little mothers.

I water out of a syringe right now simply because my plants are to young to be pouring half gallons into a small party cup lol. Should i just add a single drop to the water mixture inside the syringe? and what kinda soap should i use. there are several types of DISH SOAP
I see. Didnt realize they were seedlings. Then just use the soap mixture however you normally water them. Also dont let go super dry like I said earlier. I just use regular Dawn dish soap.

When do you think is a good time to remove the sand? when I'm ready to transplant?

I think i'm gonna goto walmart and pick up a couple more CFL's and some play sand. I'd rather bite this problem in the butt

I'd say keep it on, or maybe when you transplant top it off with some more. keep anything else from getting in and such.

Updated picture

I noticed The leaves are pointed straight up, although the plant itself looks healthy. Also haven't noticed anymore of those elongated white bugs crawling around ever since i let the soil get a little crusty. I watered right after this pic was taken.

it is. When leaves curl/point up it's usually a heat/watering problem. If it was strickly watering, the plant would just be drooping.

Well, what I thought was responsible were water or soil and so I tried to fix it, water less and also transplanted to change the soil but couldn't get the leaves down, I also remember that it took real long for her to die, but she just wouldn't grow any new leaves.

Yeah i watered the plant until i saw a couple of drips coming out of the bottom of the cup that way i know i watered at least down to the bottom of the cup. Where as before i would just water probably only the top layer to maybe an inch down. Good thing my plant is still growing :D leaves are looking bigger and i even noticed two little nodes coming out from the middle of the two leaves. Any idea what those could be?

Just wanted to put out there because I'm not sure as far as health goes but already my plant is beginning to grow more leaves at around day 5 and it looks really hairy it started on the stem now the leaves looks really crisp and visually white and hairy. From a health standpoint i would say this was good, but can it be better? or is this the pinnacle?

Hey Fella, Im growing some auto bubblicous atm too, though I've never heard or seen one auto flower yet, when did you purchase your seeds and where from? mine were bought from attitude a month back, though I have just purchased 5 other auto strain recently, looks like the roadrunner is startring to flower at 18 days while the bubblicous has not a sign of its sex yet.

I got mine from nirvanna and that's not the first time i've heard about he autoflower bubblelicious not flowering unless put under 12/12. Although i've heard of some autoflowering and finishing by week 7. Its a toss up.. To tell you the honest truth i'm just going to go ahead at week 3 go 12/12 just because autoflowers just like regular plants grow outside to so i'm just mimicking nature. I think after my plant pops its 6th set of leaves i'm going to transfer into an 8 inch pot because i want to keep the plant small.

Good luck with your grow. I'm in the 2nd day of flowering with my Bubblelicious auto. Be cautious about Nirvana's autoflowers. They tend to not, if they do it'll take 9+ weeks I've read.

If you want you can check out my grow, the Bubble gets big fast.

going 12/12 with autos supposedly reduces yield.

Yeah i been watching your grow. How long did it take for your bubble to start finally flowering? I'm on an 18/6 light schedule. And my plant won't be much bigger than yours even at its biggest because I'm going to restrict the growth of the plant by putting it in a smaller pot, i have space constraints.
