Hey thanks the jm one was helpful and my ph is around 6-6.5 that's not too bad !

thats a larger range than you think mate:



if your ph is at 6.. you need to adjust up... if you're between 6.3 and 6.5 you are solid... and need to feed...

just caught up and I know how it is with runts or stunts or over watering or lights to far or too close..lol But sometimes the small ones turn out large with the magic happening with the root first then the growth just rockets.I have had several of those problems at one time..this is part of the dialing in process and knowing you setup and different environmental changes ..Its hard not to do something with the plants every day i know lol.but let it dry out some and give it enough water it needs for one day then you can feed every day if you like. I have 3 i planted at the same time same strain and even 2 in the same bucket and all 3 came out different.

yes overwatering will mess your ph up as well as slow growth drastically. it suffocates the roots :tip:

Starting with a good base is key..the soil you have is good just not ready yet for autos.Try this..when that grow is done take all your soil add some mycros and water it 1nc a week with unsulfured molasses ..in 35-45 days soil will be ready and grow the hell out of anything.Mat need cal mag but not much else if you follow your nutes. I have made a mix of good soils ffof,ffhf,pormix ult,epsoma organic,and then added amendments to it.worm castings,blood meal,kelp,bat guano,green sand,D-lime,rock phosphate ,along with microbes to eat all that...and let it cook for 45 days or more and i only feed nutes in bloom witch i really dont need to do .Plant would do fine with cal/mag+ and phed water.

Just thought of this ..growing is like a sport like basketball..you start out learning the rules then get the right gear shoes for ankle support ect,then you learn the basics ..how to dribble..then how to shoot and def/off plays ect..its not till you learn all these thing can you start to become proficent in the game..thats not to say you dont have natural talent and get lucky.And as you play you get to see the things you need to work on to get better.Same with Autos and growing start with Knodledge and questions,proper equipment,basic first grow following slightly a pre existing journal or tutorial and testing some water here less water here.watch the results ..give it 3-5 days to show.

Thanks everybody I appreciate the responses and another question I live in florida where can I find bat guano and blood meal kelp and all that other stuff I can never find it at home depot or lowes where else can I go ?

Hi everyone here's an update on my autoflower that wasn't growing because of overwatering but is doing just fine but I wanted to know if I could LST already or wait? Because it was stunted its now on day 27 from sprout! Or should I just let it grow one main cola because it would greatly decrease my yield even more due to the fact it was stunted? Any suggestions?

You should be able to find all that stuff at your nearest hydroponics shop... I personally would let it do it's thing, or wait a bit before starting to LST, it looks a bit small to start now.
