I let this one dry out a little more than the other BBG. To see if focusing on roots more in the begining would affect its veg growth more than one watered more frequently in the start. There are obvious growth differences between the 2 and how each was watered slightly different.

It looks a little droopy cause it just got flushed. UPDATE 5 DAYS INTO WEEK 3. Growing okay little slow without the perlite. Removed 1 leaf because of infection scare. Plant remains strong and sturdy.

Doing some LST as well as a good flush. Pinch of epsom salt every gallon. I have come to the conclusion at this point. Growing in coco without perlite using same nutrients as if it did have. Its vegetation growth is so much slower. But the root growth is adequate. I do like the cloth pots. Very very much. A friend had given them to me. I usually grow outside. And have far less issues. But im learning alot more to help me overall inside and out. Update AC went out. Finally fixed but the heat hit 105 inside the garage. Did what I could to prevent heat damage.

Going heavier on my feed. If no pre-flower by Saturday I'll be doing a foliar spray. UPDATE It feels like these autos stopped growing a week or so ago. Barely any growth. Maybe between the kitten and the air conditioner going south. I may have wasted what would have been a good plant. But the slow growth has me concerned...

Why are my autos growing so slow? My other photoperiod plant has left them far behind. just 1 week older. I grew my other 8 bbg with almost exact nutes and 100% differrence

@Coldkey Hi there mate Auto's Simply do not like stress. Once their germinated they are on the clock so to speak and any strees or interference in their growing Can set them back. This is why a lot of auto growers will not transplant or do any other stressful techniques they usually do with photoperiod strains. Just let the plant grow as it wants and as a rule of thumb they do not require the same strength of nutrients as photo strains I hope this helps mate and good luck

Well I'm in trouble with her....😛😲. Come to find out I had some things stole out of the car in my driveway while I was asleep. (Had the worst case of heartburn I've ever had!!!) But among those things was my nutrients and other things I had just got. And now I don't have any PK booster or pH down, silica, and my flush, along with other things. And she's deciding to kick me when I'm down LMAO. She is being extremely sensitive to nitrogen. And looks to be in a lil bit of a bind and doin the super dark leaves and leaves growin all wierd and stuff.

Aquarium Water Water your plants with the aquarium water taken right out of the tank when cleaning it. Fresh water only please, do not use water from a salt water tank. The fish waste makes a great plant fertilizer. Bananas Bananas are not only tasty and healthy for humans, but they also benefit many different plants. When planting roses, bury a banana (or just the peel) in the hole alongside the rose. As the rose grows, bury bananas or banana peels into the top layer of the soil. Both of these approaches will provide the much-needed potassium that plants need for proper growth. Blackstrap Molasses Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of many different nutrients that plants use. This includes carbon, iron, sulfur, potash, calcium, manganese, potassium, copper, and magnesium. What makes this an excellent type of fertilizer is that it feeds beneficial bacteria, which keep the soil and plants healthy. To use blackstrap molasses as a fertilizer, mix it with another all-purpose fertilizer. A good combination to use is 1 cup each of epsom salts and alfalfa meal. Dissolve this combination in 4 gallons of water and top it off with 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. Or simply mix blackstrap molasses in with compost tea. Do this only after the compost tea has steeped. Coffee Grounds Used coffee grounds contain about 2% nitrogen, about a third of a percent of phosphoric acid, and varying amounts of potash (generally less than 1%). Coffee grounds are particularly useful on those plants that like things a bit more acidic, such as blueberries, evergreens, azaleas, roses, camellias, avocados, and many fruit trees. I recommend that you allow the coffee grounds to dry and then scatter them lightly, as a mulch, around your plants. Avoid scattering them thickly when they are wet, because clumps of coffee grounds have a tendency to get moldy. Cooking Water Many different nutrients are released into the water that food is cooked in. Water that is used to boil potatoes, vegetables, eggs, and even pasta can be used as a fertilizer. Just remember to let the water cool before applying it to your soil. Corn Gluten Meal Corn gluten meal is a byproduct of the wet-milling process for corn. It is used not only as an organic pre-emergent herbicide, but also as a fertilizer that is 10% nitrogen. To use as a fertilizer, simply spread a thin layer of corn gluten meal and scratch it into the top inch of soil. Plant veggie starts inside the treated area for optimum nitrogen benefit, and do not worry about accidentally harming your plants. Corn gluten meal only works as an herbicide before seeds germinate, not after, so it won’t hurt plants that have already sprouted. Egg Shells Egg shells contain about 1% nitrogen, about a half-percent phosphoric acid, and other trace elements that make them a practical fertilizer. Calcium is an essential plant nutrient which plays a fundamental part in cell manufacture and growth. Most roots must have some calcium at the growing tips to grow effectively. Plant growth removes large quantities of calcium from the soil, and calcium must be replenished, so this is an ideal way to “recycle” your egg shells. Simply crush them, powder them in an old coffee grinder, and sprinkle them around your garden soil. Epsom Salts 1 tablespoon of epsom salts can be combined with 1 gallon of water and put into a sprayer. Apply once a month, directly to the foliage, for a quick dose of magnesium and sulfur. Wood Ash (From Your Fireplace or Fire Pit) Ashes can be sprinkled onto your soil to supply potassium and calcium carbonate. Hardwood is best—and no charcoal or lighter fluid, please, as this can harm your plants. Don’t use ash in areas where you are trying to maintain acid-loving plants—the ashes are alkaline and can increase alkalinity in the soil. Gelatin Gelatin can be a great nitrogen source. Dissolve 1 package of gelatin in 1 cup of hot water and then add 3 cups of cold water. Pour directly on the soil around your plants once a month. This is great for houseplants! Green Tea A weak solution of green tea can be used to water plants every 4 weeks. Use 1 teabag to 2 gallons of water. Hair Hair is a good source of nitrogen, and it does double duty as a deer repellent. A good source for this hair is not only your hairbrush, but also the local barbershop or beauty salon. Many of these establishments will save hair for your garden, if you ask them for it. But do not limit yourself to only human hair. Dog hair, horse hair, and cat hair work just as well. Horse Feed What makes horse feed irresistible to horses is also what makes it an excellent fertilizer. The magic ingredient is molasses. To use horse feed as a fertilizer is simple and easy. It can be used as a soil amendment just by sprinkling it on top of the soil. Alternatively, it can be dissolved in water alone or combined with another organic fertilizer, and applied as a soil drench. Matches The old-fashioned easy-strike matches are a great source of magnesium. To use this as a fertilizer, simply place the whole match in the hole with the plant, or soak the matches in water. The magnesium will dissolve into the water and make application easier. Powdered Milk Powdered milk is not only good for human consumption but also for plants. This source of calcium needs to be mixed in to the soil prior to planting. Since the milk is in powder form, it is ready for use by your plants.

So I'm going to cut out my Cal mag. I'm still 50/50 on that. But I think it will be fine. I'm boosting up the beastie blooms to its full dose. Basically a full side of the little scoop. The smell is so fruity dank. But it has that extreme fresh piney citrus smell if you bump it and smell your hand. It's going to be a great smoke but the trichs are still clear so it's at a good place. Next water I'm probably going to start the cha-ching.

She was weighed as a whole plant and now i got her in a jar curing. I wont break into that until at least a month and a half. I dried one bud on the side just for a tester. Its some loud lol. Great smoke. Super super stinky. While it was drying the smell got better and better. Its a pretty chill body relaxer. Its not as fruity as i thought it would be. But it has a distinct smell and taste. I wanted to add a big thanks to a few people that without there help, I wouldn't have the grow that I do. they don't really get the whole growing dilemma's and all that lol. (especially the cure haha) But to my dad, wife, and king kong, thankyou. I love yall.
