First time growing..autuflower

Hey guys it’s my first time growing…i have a purple queen autoflower and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions I’m running at 600 watt led light and I’m growing in a 3 gallon pot with groundswell performance soil my water pH is around 6.8-7.0 it is about two and a half weeks old and I’ve slowly been given it a little bit of nutrients. I gave it a good feeding of a 3-2-1 organic fertilizer…this morning. Temperature is at 80° in humidity is at 45%

Looks good. Keep her watered and fed, and she’ll keep going.

The 600w light may be underpowered, I would consider an upgrade in the future. It’ll finish, but it may not produce as much as expected. Upgrading the light will change this. Something to consider if you make the commitment to continue growing.

Welcome to the neighborhood. Looking good and I agree with @Covertgrower, you are most likely going to need a light upgrade. Happy growing :blush::v:

I wouldn’t go cheap on your PH pen. MY suggestion is Blue Lab. Easy to calibrate and use. Get that pH down to 65. Be cautious on the nutes this early.
And, Welcome to the forum! Lots of great people and info here!

Sometimes they can be a little slow @Jose671 but she’s in a large container, and right now after spreading out the leaves, the roots are pretty close to the same size in diameter.

Give her another couple of weeks, she’s growing more roots, and after the next section of leaves she will take right off, unless it’s one of those random genetic mutations, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
