First time auto grow

DJK 81 · Aug 22, 2021

Hello everyone, just looking for some opinions !
This is an 8 day old sugar cookies autoflower. My first grow ever…
temps range from 20-28 degrees Celsius
Humidity 50-60%
400w hps 3ft above
18/6 light cycle
Soil is 70% coco peat, 15% perlite, 15% vermiculite.
I have three others which are half the size
Soil ph is about 6, and watering with 6.5 phd tap water.
They have all the same conditions, although I think I over watered one of them.
Any opinions, thoughts, help ect . Would be hugely appreciated….
cheers….

Looks about where an 8 day auto should be. Auto's are not fast growers at all, but looks to be fine to me.

Carefull with watering it asits in quite a large pot.i know they say, or it was said to plantthem in there final pots, but useing smaller pots andworking your way up works well and avoids problems like over watering under watering. Over watering washing nutes out ofthe soil early.
but good luck with it, looking nice healthy

Thanks for the response, I’ll yeah I was told pot size to plant them it’s about ten litres I think. And under no circumstances to transplant them from smaller to bigger.

Well thats what some growersdo, i myself go the smaller to larger pots route, but both willbe just fine.
sugar cookies sounds real nice, cant wait to see the finished plant.

Thanks Mate. Really appreciate any feedback as I’m very new to this. I will post my other plants here as well hopefully you can comment on those, as one is a little stretched and the other a little small…
it’s a small bic lighter by the way . They are all roughly the same age….
see what I mean a bout the tall one. That’s 7 days old.

Autos grow very fast. Not sure where you heard that.

9 day old autos. 100% coco. I always start ALL my plants, autos and photos, in starter pots and up pot them. Helps promote the proper growth of a root ball.

if that one on the left is 9 days old I must be doing something seriously wrong……

Hey, Thought I’d give you an update on the plants and get your feedback , (sugar cookies) this is the biggest plant the rest are 3/4 and half that size. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. They are 23 days old.

thanks again for your input……
This is the same seed but so much smaller…? Just bad genetics or what…..? All same conditions? Ah so small?

I switched to autos all together. I can pull 2 grows at once at different stages and keep fresh new fire in my jars. I grow just for me and I prefer a high turnover. Autos may not be quite as strong but the street can't touch my bud. Good luck

Seeds show different traits, pick the strong and don't be afraid to kill the squirts. Don't waste nutes or tent space,give the other guy more room and attention and she'll pay off
