smoke24answered grow question 4 years ago I saw a few things in your diary, firstly i'd recomend starting autos in there final pot...they don't like being transplanted, or any undue stress for that matter. Second, your diary says the ph is 5.5, that could be a problem, the ideal ph of your growing medium should be right about 6.2, if you don't have the means to check soil ph, then you absolutely must check runoff ph, and correct nutrient solution ph to balance whatever the runoff ph is. For example: if the next time you feed and your runoff ph is 5.5, then the next time you feed or water you would make the ph of the solution say 6.5 in order to bring your soil ph up. If your runoff was 7.0 you would make your nutrient solution 5.8 or so in order to bring the ph down. Soil ph changes over time, which is why its important to check runoff and adjust the ph of your feeding solution. Hope this helps some. Happy growing!
