This grow is to compensate for the dying plant from my first and still ongoing grow. The supplies I'll be using are the same as the first grow and it will also share the same temperature and daylight schedule since I don't have the luxury to be able to separate them. Let's hope everything will be ok.

I like the fast growth. I don't know if it's because of it being automatic or if it's a good strain. I have transplanted to the first pot and watered a bit. I also added a bit of sugar to promote bacterial and mycorrhizae growth...if there is any, to begin with.

It stoped growing fast as at the beggining. I hope it gets to a nice size before flowering begins. These lights are really weak, I need to get stronger ones as soon as I'm going to have money for them.

I'm feeling really down rn. I've just seen like 10 random auto diaries on this site and all of them had a nice big and strong plant by week 4. My plant is growing really slow, the leaves are starting to turn yellow as my other grow, I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe growing doesn't really suit me. I love growing, I love taking care of the plants, but this is just wasting money. I've read countless guides on how to grow but none of them prepared me for this. I have no idea of what's wrong, why does it grow so fucking slow?! My friend had even worse setup with even weaker lights and didn't even fertilize it, he just watered it once a time and didn't really care for it and it ended up pretty good. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I should probably quit.

Well, I'm not feeling very well for the plant. I waited a bit because I didn't want to fertilize with the manure I've been using because it's shit (no pun intended). I waited for my Biobizz fertilizers to arrive so I can feed it but the plant didn't take it very well. The bottom leaves have turned yellow and the plant has stopped growing. Jesus Christ, I'm really bad at this xD

I've transplanted the plant to a bigger container. I've used BioBizz Light mix, same as in the other growth. The plant didn't improve much, I think that mostly the old soil was a complete and utter bag of shite. It had big chunks of dirt, dry leaves, twigs, rocks and all that shit in it. I thought it was ok because the only experience with growing I had was helping my mom grow tomatoes on our balcony and taking care of my cactus. I forgot to take photos, same as the other diary so I have just this one photo from this week. Sorry about that.

You need to up the dossage on your nutes bro. Yellow leaves mean you don't have enough nutrients in the soil. Your plant looks ok for the size light you have. I wouldn't give up but maybe try an LED light instead. Good luck fam👍🏾
