First Grow - Royal Dwarf

Very clean photos and workspace. It looks like you've done a lot of research to properly prep for your first grow. Progress is looking great. Best of luck. Will keep an eye on this. 💪 Only thing I would suggest, since you're germinating in that huge pot, is to slightly warm it up at night and keep it between 75-80f while you're rooting. Substrate temp will always be cooler than ambient, similar to liquids at room temp. This should help you root way faster. Also, under medium up top, you can put your diary under 'soilless' for coco, rather than hydroponics.

Unfortunately, your autofllower is now heavily stunted due to all that stress during her most vital phases. The dry spell stunted it even further while she was trying to pick up from previous stress. This week was crucial to get dialed in for that recovery 😥 You absolutely cannot let coco dry at all. Doing that will also spike your salts, forcing you to flush. Being an autoflower under that much stress in the first half of her life, this has tremendously stunted growth. You will still get buds, but your auto is way past her stretching phase right now and is putting energy into budding. The thing is, there isn't much real estate to bud on and you already have a few pistils turning amber. A stunted autoflower that far in age and size, will probably get you 7-14g of popcorn nugs if you're lucky. That's not bad for a personal yield that gets you first time learning experience. Autoflowers are very particular and sensitive to stress, which makes it much harder for beginners to learn with. If you get a bad week with an autoflower, that's it. You lose that week. They continue transitioning without recovering much of what they lost that week. A photo period plant with a bad week is much easier to recover from, as they 'backtrack' to regain what they lost. A good example of that are the growers you see, adding a recovery week following a stressful training phase like topping. Topping and training delay the veg phase, which doesn't work for all autos. Super-autos are a different story with longer grow cycles that allow topping/fimming when timed right. Those are usually 10-14 week strains. I probably sound like a blabbering know it all and I don't intend to insult you. I also started with an autoflower my first time about 10 years ago. You DO NOT want to see what I ended up with.. LOL It was a hard lesson learned and guidance was tough to find. Since you are using AN, do a search on "Tangs Easy Auto Feeding Schedule" That should help you stay in line on your feed and rates. I would totally plan on starting over with your newfound experience. Grow this one out and see what you can get out of it though! P.S Don't foliar spray/or spray water, or whatever that is, in flower. Budsites should never get wet. This could lead to mold issues and budrot. Also again, NEVERRRRR LET COCO DRY! 😅

"It is day 20 now, and I'm not sure if she is healthy or not." She's missing a lot of nitrogen right now and could use a boost of that. If you haven't increased feed rates since day 19, she's been looking hungry since then and that could be why your leaves are yellowing. Could be somewhere around 5-600ppm right now and be safe. She's developed enough tolerate it. If that's not, it looks like ph lockout. Ph perfect doesn't always hold true, so I would check that to make sure as well. My tap water contains buffers, so "ph perfect" would come out to 7.0ph after mixing. That was a hard lesson learned. Good luck, hope that helps

i wouldn't change too bloom nutes until at least week 6 or 7 as you will stop upwards growth and the plant will focus on budding, at this size you dont want that as you're yield will be low, hold off the bloom nutes and keep vegging for 2 more weeks and see the difference in size

Respect mate setup looking boss, look forward to seeing progress :)

I like your photos and how you explain the week-diary...good luck growmie😉🍀👍

@moshcann, Hi Gro, You looks well prepare 👌💪😛

Good luck!!!

Decent recovery for an autoflower around that phase. You have a normal amount of budsites. I noticed up top, it says you're still using grow nutes. Switch to bloom nutes asap if you haven't yet. Those leaves are very rich with nitrogen right now. That shows in the dark green shade of the leaves. The leathery looking texture is also another factor, but also can be strain/pheno related. Don't worry though, not trying to freak you out lol. You'll be fine when you switch to bloom. Let's try this, What light spectrum are you currently running? Feed bloom with 20% runoff and check ppm. Lets see where she's sitting at compared to your feed.
