Day 14 It was my plan to give them step 3 in the Bio-tabs manual, 2 biotabs in each pot today. And step 4, with one teaspoon of Bactrex and 5 ml. Organtrex in one liter of water also... But i honestly dont know if i have to cut them down, and start all over instead of using more

Dude just start the seeds in smaller cups to begin with. Much much easier to get watering right when they’re still small. I know you shouldn’t repot autos but I started my last lot of g’ cookies auto in some old Starbucks cups and repotted them up to 5gal after 2 weeks. - They turned into monsters. So, 1st 2 weeks in small pots. If they’re in soil only water for that long, they don’t need anything more than what’s in the soil already. And only water when the cups feel light. That’s it! I’m a total noob but have now grown 5 g’cookies successfully doing the above with 0 fails. Stress free & easy. Up to you dude

@ORGANOMAN 😊 Thanks for answaring, but. 1. They do, if rh is to low. In the tent it's only 40% and under the mini domes it's 65-80%. Witch also answaring your point nr. 2. 3. Its a auto plant, and Mephistos ghenetics give their plants 24 hours of light. So no problem there either, they dont need sleep, and in the flowering state it prevents mold in the buds, and thats the reason i run the lights 24/7. 4. The pots is not dry, only the top 2 cm. And Its not coco, its organic willow. The picture is taken right before watering, and the reson it looks like I just water around the plants, is beacurse of the mini domes - again a good help... I just added the tabs yesterday, just like they also do at Mephistos. Autos dont need fertilizer the first 14 days, in fact you could kill them if you give it to them.. And well the reason i started with the tabs is beacurse it is easier... I desided to give 2 of them a last chance, and monday i will get som new soil.. Witch will show if its bad ghenetics, or if its the soil, there is the problem... Hope this helps, harsh as it may be... KISS Hehe 😉

Personally, I would consider starting again, they are almost at the age when flowering is about to commence. A few things going on here that I personally would suggest doing differently. 1 - seedlings do not need covers/plastic bottles, they need good air exchange. 2 - there is no need for towels with water tubs everywhere, one maybe, but 3, not and not saucers everywhere either. There should be enough "free" humidity just evaporating from correctly watered pots. Cannabis does not need excessively high humidity, it is not a rainforest plant. 3 - going to a proven 18/6 schedule - no plant can grow optimally without a normal and natural grow/sleep/grow/sleep/grow/sleep cycle. 4 - watering the whole pot, from side to side and deeply. This last point is most probably the reason for the poor growth. Your pots look incredibly dry and as though you are only watering small amounts and only near the stem. This means the plant tabs can not dissolve and release nutrients as they are designed to work and the dry substrate means the roots won't "explore" and expand away from the immediate damp area near the stem. If the plant tabs are 2-4 inches away, there is no way the roots will access any dissolved nutrients, if indeed, there are any freely available in the substrate at all. At this stage in an autos' life cycle, I don't believe there is much that can be done to remedy the situation and achieve any great growth before flowering kicks in. Next time, try using liquid nutrients, they are much easier to disperse throughout the entire pot and are more readily absorbed by the roots. Hope this helps, harsh as it may be. ...... Organoman.
