First Grow ever Need lots of Help

Grab one or a couple of these: Digital timer

I have 2, one for each tent. I plug my lights all into a power strip and then plug the strip into the timer outlet. Highly recommend - it can do Intervals or turn on/off at specific times.

PS y’all: thanks a bunch, I’m just trying to help spread the knowledge I’ve gained from being on this forum the last few months. I’m out of likes but I’m reading :v: :sparkling_heart:

You have autos correct? That would make it a complete non-issue as autos just need a minimum daily exposure not a certain cycle.
Even if photos, one little slip will not hurt anything. It is a consistent shift for an extended period that will affect the bloom cycle.

I just recently harvested 2 Strawberry Cheesecake autos that started flowering at only 3 weeks from sprout. They had a big growth spurt that was mainly bud and each gave up approx 2+ oz finished, dried bud. Some of my strongest weed to date.

Sorry for the “disappearing act” with the link. I thought I got that grow mixed up with another.
@iDontKnowGrow , look at the growth spurt following week 3. Date stamped July 2 I believe.

I have struggled to get temp llower for flower time which the girls are telling me. So I had the heater on the floor Wrong move so I readjusted had a small tabale and set heater up about 3 feet off floor and did passive air flow and it cycles ever 10-15 min’s keeping it right around 72.9 humitdy about 54% and I got more room for more plants now no extra fans

Okay @Graysin I am at Day 9 with my ladies above ground, so when do I consider them to be in Vegetative stage?

I don’t understand the question about the 24hr? It operates in military time but if it’s easier for you, it can be set on intervals (18 hrs on 6 hrs off)

If they have a set of leaves that isn’t the cotyledons, I’d call those vegging. But other people have varying standards. I feel good once my girls get a set of leaves.

Okay @Graysin @dbrn32 I am having a problem with Low Temperature while my light is off and a problem with High Humidity… What are your thoughts? I know I can buy a dehumidifier for the humidity issue.

Also @Graysin @Nicky my leaves are feeling a little dry. Do I need to start watering 2 X per day? I am in Coco and Perlite mixture.

Should be fine with once a day…
I run an auto water system though.

@MattyBear thoughts?
