I think 2 are not well

[Guiltydwight]

For some reason 2 plants just drooped in between watering so I let them dry out , I watered them slowly this morning about 1l per plants I hope they'll bounce back .

are those 3 or 5 gal fabric pots? proper watering is saturating the medium everytime and letting it dry inbetween waterings those pots are too big for them you should start them in smaller pots

They are autoflowers and it says not to transplant should I have gone with 3gal maybe I don't know

i think you should have gone with 3 gals at max and let me just say this there are 1 gal fabric pots, you can start them in those, then when you see roots poking from the sides or the bottom put the whole 1g fabric pot into a 3 gallon fabric pot and fill it up with soil. that way you wouldnt have to transplant per se but still give them stage appropriate medium volume.

Would you suggest something to do at the moment or just ride out, I should have stuck to what I was used to so far (only grew with feminized photo period) I was just curious to try autoflowers and perhaps I didn't educate myself enough , now my grow is starting all fucked up

 

[crimsonecho]

at this point ride it out man i wouldnt mess with them seeing they are autos and stressed already but i wouldnt depend on the herb i’d pull off from those either.
probably not gonna produce much. and its all experience its all good if youre not depending on the weed you’ll pull off of those.

I guess I'll order more seeds and start fresh I'll stick to photoperiod for now these autoflowers are too sensitive for my liking thanks

 

[crimsonecho]

how old are they? when did they brake soil? i dont like autos especially because you cant clone them. if you need to pull some weight i’d definitely go with photos, the control you have over veg and flower is much better but you can keep these too maybe gently pull them out without fucking up the roots transplant into smaller pots and while you’re vegging your photos these can flower besides them. if you have the space you can pull something off them its better than nothing.

To much light, water the pots in their entirety. Then let dry well before watering again.

back the light way off and get a slight breeze ove the top of the pots.

a 2-3 gal would be plenty in coco for autos. Personally i feel the transplant myth is bullshit, you just need to do it properly

Tou need to water to saturate ALL the media then let it dry. Roots dont grow into dry media, read this the link.

Thise big pots are going to make watering difficult until those plants get bigger.

After you read that water the media to saturate it then tilt the pont on a 45 degree angle to dry it out more by taking advantage of the fact a perched water table will remain the sane height.

if this doesnt make sense after reading that let me know and ill reword it better for you and go into more depth.

by doing this extra step it will greatly reduce your risk if over watering while they are small. In fact if at any point you over water its the only easy quick fix availabile to you next to sucking out the water table with a syringe

Thanks for your help yesterday I've read your post 3 times and I have a much better understanding. I backed off my lights to 50% and raised them to 36 " tilted my pots like you suggested I'm gonna leave them alone today but just wanted to say thanks
