Sour Stomper day ~50 - Too early for fade? (Soil, Biotabs)

Could be it.. mixing may cause boatloads of issues especially when the quick uptake agents are used cheadleing or w/e
MOG is the guy to listen to on nutrients, he gots the fancy meters and all . So he definitely knows his stuff.
And autos too small??

Maybe?
Those are all in a shared 5 gal fabric pot...

THESE autos aren't too small. MINE are tiny! Anyway, legal state resident with very high standards and I don't think i've ever seen an auto grown to the standard i buy at. I know im decades away from growing anything to the standard I buy at though, anyway. Auto, photo, or otherwise.

Gorgeous monsters you got there. I'll shut my mouth.
 
The soil in that pot looks really dry to me? if it is that is deadly to an organic grow. The microbes that feed the plant die or go dormant and the plant cannot get any nutrients.

This might be it. Thank you for chiming in. I have made a point of NOT over watering in this particular grow, watering to (a little) runoff every third day at this point. I think my previous grows were wrecked by overwatering while young.

Should i try to keep her moist? There is another plant next to her who isnt as far along. I will try to keep her moist from here on out and see if she experiences similar issues. Thanks Man!

Yes.
What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and the roots and microbes will die there. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. There is an art to watering.

Yes, this is all consistent with what I have experienced in this grow and in the past. I can already tell clumps are forming in the soil, causing it to become hydrophobic. Runoff occurs after less water now than it did 2 weeks ago. I have had a theory that previous grows' soil was also becoming hydrophobic and clumping. Thanks a million, I think this will help.

Regarding the Yucca powder - can you recommend a source, and do you recommend top dressing? How much per gl?

This is what I use. You can get it on Amazon. Follow the Package instructions. It is a tiny bit and my package has lasted many grows.

Little update. I got the yucca and will be applying it today. The plant is still putting on weight, surprisingly. Trichomes are all milky right now, I plan to harvest in a week or two! Thanks everyone for the advice.
