Hi everyone. New here and looking to post my first grow as it seems too smooth so far. I got given 5x fat monkey seeds from a mate for $20, and threw one in the soil as a worst case scenario test run.
Growing a SAG fat monkey auto, in cheap potting mix with perlite, 15L pot. Have a 3x2x5 tent with a mars hydro TS 600. No ventilation or temp monitoring, but it's hot here in Australia now. Horrid humidity at an average of 85% lately. Using tap water of unknown pH (have seen 7.6-8 from council sites), and don't have any nutes. I've looked through some threads here, and I had no idea about the temp, humidity and nute monitoring, and think I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
It is at day 15 now from when it stuck its head out of soil, and I have no immediate reference for auto size. If anyone has grown a chimp glue 2/fat monkey auto, how is the size for day 14? I have tried to top it after the 3rd node, and I don't think I did it properly, as the two heads came out, but then another two smaller ones popped up overnight where I cut the stem. I have included a picture of my botched top. I have only watered it like twice in 15 days, and put about 1L in each time.
My main question is, when do plants start showing there nutrient and heat deficiencies? I figured two weeks is too early as it wouldn't be feeding much at all. Am I wasting good seeds going Into this with just a light and tent? And was topping an auto as stupid an idea as I have been told? For a size comparison that is a large 350 wide X 300 high pot.
