Auto seedlings......

**Chew17** · 22-09-17, 10:14 AM

Hi guys, I'm new to autos and I've never grown from seed before so please be gentle with me 🙈
These guys are 16 days old now and to be honest I'm a little worried that they are not doing as well as they should be I may be wrong?
Just want a second opinion!
Dwc bubbler .
Germinated with 200w CFL untill 3 days ago switched to 600w hps
Phd water at 5.5 - 5.6
Yesterday they had some rhizotonic added to buckets. 1/3 of recommended dose.

Hi mate, whilst I know nothing about bubblers, yeah, they do look a little behind where they should be at this stage

A lot of this could be due to the CFL you were using. With autos, always use as much light as you can from day one.

I'm new too but couple questions, are roots down? Are you top watering? How far were you cfl and what about now with the hps? Personally from seed I take about 1 week after first set of real leaves showing as the start date. Imo it's seedling till then and till its roots down really

Ahhhh I thought this �� gutted hopefully they pick back up asap

Roots are down about 1/2 an inch. Top watering every 2 days , clf was roughly 1/2 meter above , hps is now just below a meter above as I don't want them to burn?

It sounds like your cfls were a little far away so water everyother day would work but mean slow growth rate. Now that your roots down I would say it's about to blast into life. I've never used hps myself but a meter sounds way too far
