Stunted Growth

[o9ine]

Greetings Community, I hope everyone's well during given times! I am currently participating in my first grow with slight issues arrising. The growth of my plant seems to be very stunted to what I believe it should be at this moment in time. Currently at day 25 I believe the images below speak for their self.


Medium is 70% Plant Magic Plusa coco + 30% perlite
I have used the biotabs starter kit nutrients line so in terms of PH or EC I have not used either device as the company states neither are needed.

Environmental factors: temperatures between 26-29 degrees light on. Humidity ranging between 40-57% (past few days has been lower due to humidifier breaking.

I would just like to add that I have started two autoflower seeds previously with the same stunted growth which resulted in me starting again but to no positive success.

If any suggestions could be given as to the slow growth as I've seen a few growers on here using similar products but with much different and more successful results.

Thanks AF community!

I believe he stated he does not ph, as company says it's not needed.

Sorry I only grow in soil so not sure how much help I can be here.

What is your watering regime? In soil I don't water to run off as you're just flushing all the nutrients away.

interms of watering I’ve got the pots set up to a reservoir to run through the Autopot system which I has turned on a few days ago. Prior to that I had been watering periodically, approximately every 3-4 days.

Prior to that I had been watering periodically, approximately every 3-4 days. So any run off would be getting absorbed into the medium eventually. I have included an image for reference of my plant and pot setup of a previous auto flower with similar growth.

I grow in autopots and your meant to turn them on once your plants reach the edge of your pots also if you look at the bottom of your pots do you see roots as im worried as the root mass may only be small

 

[Qbgrower]

You're turning on the autopot too soon, leaves need to reach the sides of the pot and develop a good root structure.

My schedule for autopot and biotabs is to start off in solo party cups using the instatransplant method till about 7 or 8 days old then prep the autopot soil with all biotab amendments, transplant and water in with orgatrex and bactrex. Turn on autopot res when leaves have reached edge of pot (normally 10 - 14 day from transplant)
