-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This is a STUNTED Grow. Do not use these pictures to gauge your own grow. They were: Overwatered Burned the hell out of them with too much light As I write this it is Week 5 and they are healing and now growing normally, but they are behind at least 2 weeks. Expect growth to be closer to normal by Week 7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The timing of these plants are all separated by almost a week. I started out with a Black Domina XL Auto from Oaseeds, but it dampened off, and I then replaced it with the Super Skunk Auto from Seedstockers. Then, a day or so later, I decided to add in 2 Mephisto Double Grape. As of 07/14/22, I put a DG into a solo cup with a 1/2" long taproot. The second seed is "hinting" success, but no taproot yet. Having said all this, by the time the second DG germinates, it will be one week behind Super Skunk. For convenience, I will split the difference and come up with a germination day the averages them all together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07/15/2022 Day 2 for Double Grape #1 (#2 may not germinate) Day 8 for Super Skunk

Hope you don't mind my ducking in here (I was drawn by the cover photo you used! It intrigued me!)... But your photos are showing what I think is a serious manganese deficiency .. the real spotted pics... which indicates your pH is out of whack... (I HATE going into someone's diary and giving advice so PLEASE forgive me). I'll just pass along this article for you to read so you can determine if you've got this issue or not... and it will tell you how to correct it if you think it IS a manganese deficiency... https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/manganese-deficiency Good luck with your grow!

Wishing you the best of luck on the grow! I used the auto pots with a coco before as well. Ultimately, I moved to a drain to waste setup as I had issues with the autopots and the cloth bags. I also didn't like being "stuck" in their eco system of cloth bags. Only thing I might recommend is setting your ph a little higher to about 6.0-6.2ish for better N and the all important cal-mag for the coco battle, during veg. At least that works really for me in my journey with coco. Good luck sir!

@ExNavyInSTL, Ah! That's fair enough. I definitely check that link and I'll happily follow you on this journey. Cheers bud! 🍻

@Ze1ro, Thank you for the advice. My last grow was coco and I had Ca/Mg at the ready. As for pH, what I have been doing is starting at 5.8 (ish) and letting it drift up. When it hits 6.4, I bring it back down to 5.8. I like to think that allows a nice spectrum of "sweet spots" for a few of the elements to uptake at their best. As for N, I added that to my Ca/Mg foliar, and I have a Plan B with this stuff: PeptideSP. It's heavy on N (13-0-0), and you get the benefit of all the aminos and other bio-stimulants. That's the theory anyway. Here's a link to PeptideSP: https://hardygro.com/products/peptidesp Thanks again for checking out my grow. I'm over the hump now from the early stressors.

These plants were stunted early on from too much light, and saturated soil.

I had such a difficult start. 3 failed germination. Current grow is 3 different auto strains. In their last 10 days flushing. Heat and humidity, vpd which I understand but can't control. Lights give off a lot of heat and burned up my ladies. All your plants look great.

@Natrona, This has been my first drama-free grow. So far!
