Week 7 in DWC

[Kuenstler_06]

I'm new to DWC and started growing three autoflowers. I started in early February and followed the Botanicare feed chart. One plant got half-strength food by accident for a week. The other two are doing fine, but the middle one is slow to flower. I'm using two 100W LED lights, about 18 inches above, on a 12/12 light cycle. Last week I fed them around 750 ppm, with EC at 1.5.

Has anyone had one plant fall behind like this? Should I wait for it to catch up or change something? Thanks!

Okay, so it's pretty typical for plants to grow at different rates, even when they have the same setup. Just stick to your regular light and feeding schedule. The slowpoke might just need a little more time and could catch up later. I wouldn't stress about changing anything right now.

It's pretty common for one plant to lag a bit, if it got weaker feeding early on. I'd stick with your current setup and let it catch up, don't rush changes unless you see deficiencies really

If you can, set your lights to 18/6. Autos love the extra light, and it won't mess up their flowering at all.

I always grow 2 at a time and even in the same container, one always grows a little less than the other even if it's the same strain. It's like one will just be more dominant over the other. It's that or it's just in the seed itself.

I am not familiar with auto's but IJ have ten lights. Two overhead, five on the sides fluorescents, two led's , and one multicolored round led for a little more spectrum. These are during flower and range mostly in the 2700k range. During veg they are ranging from 6500K, 5000k, and 3000K. Watts range from 100w, 65w, 55w, leds 15w. Not so much wattage as I like coverage all around like the sun does outside.
