Which are y’all favorites strains? Is it difficult growing photoperiods?

Not even in the slightest. Autoflowers are harder because they don’t forgive you if you get the environment wrong.

So far my favorite to grow has been Lemon Tree. But I dunno yet.

I think that’s what upset me the most, running out of big bloom so fast, when the company clearly advertises their 3 pack as all you will need. BS. Just a shady marketing tactic to get people to continue buying your crap. If you bought another, ou would still have half a bottle of big bloom at the end, and most of the grow and tiger bloom, and you would start your next grow because you already had nutes, and quickly find yourself in a neverending FF nightmare where you’re stuck buying their junk :rofl:

Carbon filters work best on the intake side of the fan, pulling air through the filter.

How are they doing? Should I do anything to them? Using tap water pH to 6.2. Im slightly wathering around the dome every 2 days. Im thinking of removing the solo cup today.

Any input and advise are appreciated!!

Personally I would leave the solo cups for a while longer. The humidity will help the seedlings while their roots are still developing. Plus, I really like the idea of watering around the cup, that’s a genius idea. I think you’re doing great, but now the hard part begins, learning patience haha.

@DrWatson420 Thats the worst :rofl: Im retire so Im always at the house. I find myself going to the tent at least every 2-3 hrs to see if they are doing ok :rofl: I need to stop and find another hobby so the ladies can get some privacy

I’m currently a stay at home dad, and find myself in the same situation, constantly going down to check on things. I’m getting better, only check 4 or 5 times a day now, compared to like 20 for the first few weeks :rofl:. These plants are just fascinating to me, and I love watching them grow. I’m on day 52 of my first autoflower grow, so I’m still learning as well, but have gotten so much great advice on here, and my girls are coming along nicely. I went with amnesia haze auto from ILGM here. Have two flowering now, and the third is just growing and growing and growing lol. So, always take my advice with a grain of salt, as I’m a newbie too, but I will never advise something that I haven’t already done myself.

@DrWatson420 is on target. Patience is the hurdle you have in front of you. I am also at home all day and have to find something else to do to avoid living in the tent. I have 2 sprouts, 2 plants in early flower, one that is being stubborn and is growing super slow, one almost ready to harvest and a tomato all going at once in approx 32x48 space. I have quite a variety right now and it is a bit of a challenge.

I would leave the dome for one more set of leaves. So far so good. Soil looks pretty damp. :v:

On one hand, seeing your plants all the time makes seeing changes much easier, which is certainly helpful, but yeah, I’m spending more time with my girls than I am my wife and kids anymore. (Much more peaceful I would add :joy:). Plus, I can’t appreciate the new growth as much when I see it all day. There’s a middle ground somewhere, just haven’t found it yet lol

Posting to my journal weekly helps to be able to see the changes. Day to day they look the same but looking back at the weekly pics, I can see how they have grown.
