Hi,I don't do autos, and I wouldn't recommend them for anyone- especially new growers. That said, they look ok and you get what they decide to give.
First timer here and the long veg Im doing is allowing for alot of learning. Each issue gets addressed and builds my confidence. I was thinking autos were more of a niche kinda thing. Gotta know exactly how to treat them which is nearly impossible for a newbieThey look over watered and over mothered. I don't think flushing that often is recommended... and defoliating and training autos is also a slippery slope. I would say try some photos for your next grow, as they are more forgiving.
Hi,Hello. At first glance, the plants look quite watered, lift the pot and see if it is heavy or light, the other thing I think you need to do is to change the seed cycle to 18/6 so that the plant can regenerate. do not lose hope just monitor the condition of the plants and post photos and future questions here
Yeah I personally have never done an auto, I got some free auto seeds and if I get a tent, I may give one a go... but yeah, autos don't have time to recover from any oopsies.First timer here and the long veg Im doing is allowing for alot of learning.

Your diagnose about over mothering must be 100% trueThey look over watered and over mothered. I don't think flushing that often is recommended... and defoliating and training autos is also a slippery slope. I would say try some photos for your next grow, as they are more forgiving.
Don't beat yourself up, just take it as a learning experience. How often in life do you do something perfectly on the first attempt? I've been gardening since I was a kid (not weed obviouslyYour diagnose about over mothering must be 100% true
I chose autos also because of the timing; things affecting my growing-place will start to be less stealthy at the beginning of january. But at the spring i'll be able to start again, photoperiod it'll be, convicted about it now.
Doing this, thanks so much.Try just water for a week. No nutes. They dont show signs of hunger so maybe just allow it to get used to the new conditions like less water. Also make sure pots are not on the floor, even an inch off the floor helps the rootzone temps, and dont feed anything atm. Just let it bounce back from the stress. I would not LST the plants and dont defoliate as it will add in additonal stress.
Starting- now when also following another advices - a routine of lifting & comparing on a dry soil-filled, no plant having, same sized pot on the ones with plant(s) in them.Don't beat yourself up, just take it as a learning experience. How often in life do you do something perfectly on the first attempt? I've been gardening since I was a kid (not weed obviously) and I still make mistakes. I grew in my early 20s then took a decade plus hiatus cause of my hub's job... I've only gotten back into growing herb in the last 4 years. This site is a wealth of knowledge and the folks here are great. You'll learn to listen to what the plants are telling you they need with experience. Your main goal is to give them the best environment you can and just let them grow. They like to dry out between watering as well, I start mine indoors since I live in zone 4, then they go out in spring. I usually only water like every 3 days when they are smaller and in veg, obviously you up the water as they grow. Don't go by how the top soil looks because it dries out fast and will still be soaked underneath. Get in the habit of lifting the pot of soil when you first fill it and it's dry, and then lift it after watering to run off... and don't water again till it's light. It's really easy to overthink and over mother... less is more with growing a lot of the time.
This. And that high ph wasn't helping. Get that down to around 6-6.5, and let the pot dry more before watering.They look over watered and over mothered.

Much harder to get a good auto harvest than a photo ! Much more forgivingHi,
I got quite strong picture from famous seed-selling sites articles etc. how autoflower is the very best choice for newbies. Been thinking that recently - it maybe really wouldve been smart move to have photoperiods, because i would ve been able to keep them on veg a longer time, to fix my mistakes atleast a bit.
The yield I'll get, if getting any, will be exactly what i deserve. More important is this process of learning how to please those cuties enough to end up being rewarded myself
Felt really, really good to read those words from you, that they look ok! Much more positive feedback what i was waiting. Thank you!
And aren't autos small over all as well? I've never grown one but every pic of them I've seen, they are like little bonsai babies lol.Much harder to get a good auto harvest than a photo ! Much more forgiving
Autos are just autos. I haven't grown in over 20 years and I am growing a beast of an auto right now. Tell me this looks like a bonsai?And aren't autos small over all as well? I've never grown one but every pic of them I've seen, they are like little bonsai babies lol.
