Oh man. I remeber my very first legal grow. It was a haze as well, lemon haze. Enjoy this, take lots of pictures and make notes, seriously, you’ll be able to see and track what works for you and what your plants like.

Checked the twins this afternoon. They are almost 3 wks old. There’s something going on with a couple of the leaves — any suggestions?
I water using the wet-to-dry strategy and started using blackstrap molasses a week ago with every other watering — maybe too much?
It’s an Amnesia Haze auto — about 6” tall by 5” wide. Ocean Forest soil for the medium.

I don’t think it’s nutes or watering practice- except maybe if it’s been hot and sunny and you splashed some on the leaves.
There’s a little dark spot that concerns me on the leaf tip around your plants 8 o’clock in that pic. Can you get a close up of that leaf?

I completely concur with currdog. 
It looks like some wet leaves spot caused a bit of burning in the sun. If the suns is out try and low aim when watering. The plant will just outgrow it. Not much to be done. When the new growth exceeds the old sun spotted leaves I just pinch those off. Later in flower those crispy spots are the first places botrytis (bud rot) likes to hop on and fuck up your plants. At least if there’s much moisture (RH) from the fall rains.
I did that myself about a week ago watering too late in the morning. It happens.
Thanks CD420 and DB — it’s been in the high 80s to mid 90s lately here in the VA Tidewater area, along with dew points consistently in the 70s this summer — extremely humid.
I did get the leaves wet during the past couple of waterings and they stayed wet when the sun came up — didn’t think much of it at the time until the spots started showing. I’ll need to be more accurate with the water bottle.
Here’s a couple close ups
of the spot you mentioned.
Yeah clip that black shit off. With high humidity like that you wanna be real careful. If they get a lot of dew in the morning think about shaking it off a bit.

Here they are on Sep 1 — now in a 2x3 grow tent with LED board light on 24/0. Lots of potential bud sites popping. Doing some LST per Kushman - also did some Chiro last week. Alternating weeks with kelp and calmag. Shooting for Oct 1 harvest - getting real excited about my first grow!

just an opinion…I know auto can handle 24/0 light but I have had better development (taste, terp and trike production) with 4 hrs rest
Not sure Oct 1 will be harvest time…you may wind up going at least till mid / late Oct unless a real cold spell sets in. Temps would have to go below 45°f to facilitate an early chop

Seven weeks in with my lemon haze auto. Flowering started a couple weeks ago. Dialed back the lighting from 24/0 to 20/4 and watering 3x per week with calmag once per week and kelp on alternating weeks. I need to practice patience!

Update on the Haze autos — Day 68 for both and the buds are stacking nicely. I’m thinking a few more weeks, WSY?

Also started up a couple XL Kush autos. Germinated on 9/11 and sprouted on 9/14. Mix of OF and HF on the top half and Strawberry Fields on the bottom half. Only using kelp and blackstrap Mo’ for the entire lifecycle.

BTW — Mike was totally correct on the Haze timeline — I was getting way too excited — still am — looking forward to my first harvest in over 35 yrs. Active duty USAF during that time and waited until VA became legal.

@Cato
this is what flowers look like around week 7 or 8
so you are close. Funny how it ties in with October harvest and the moon cycle. Oct 21 is full moon and will be prime harvest time for many growers in and out
This is when I start dropping the temps, lowering the Rh, ice feeding at night and increasing dark time till it reaches 16 hours. If you got IR / UV bulbs, time to get them on for an hour or 2 a day
here is week 8
I also drop the ph a little here and get the tds up near 12-1300 (use bloom nutes at recommended rate to attain this level). Then prepare for the flush, reduction of nutes, bill chill and TIMBER

Just returned from 10 days of vacation in the TX gulf coast (Port Aransas).
The Haze auto girls are at wk #12 — also started up a couple Kush XL autos. Buds for both Haze autos are looking good and I’m thinking about a wk or so out from harvest. Need some input @Mrb53004 and @Jram_13 and @CurrDogg420 — this is my first grow since the ‘80s, and Autos didn’t exist back
then.
