Cut your light back to 18 hours. She needs rest. Max feed for autos in soiless is 600 ppm 1.6 ec 500 is ok for where your at so far. Bring your ph up to 5.8 and try to keep it there until she starts to bud then to 6.2 to 6.3 Cheers

Being an auto, what do you think the chances of the stunted baby turning around? Will it still yield ok or will it stay miniature throughout its cycle. Literally the vertical growth stopped after about an inch and it’s first leaves are tiny. The second set are just sprouting now.

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

Praying cotyledons
It was an helmet head for a week. didn't want to drop the shell. I helped it out two days ago and it was very difficult. I think it didn't had enough light. The other ones are more developed. This one is still behind and "praying". Watered this morning. Wedding glue strain.

Im meaning to transplant my girl to a 5 or 10 gallon pot. I'm concerned I may have left it in the 8 oz solo cup for too long. Its been in there for about 18 days . Should I have transplanted sooner or should I wait a little longer ? My plant is 5 inches tall 4-6 set of leaves

Slow Growing Seed ? Will she be okay if I flower her do you think she will beef up ? I plan on flowering her in 5 days.
Hi Guys the plant front right please look over the diary and can you work out why she is the only slow one ? My first guess is that it's just a slow seed ? I cannot see any problems with her what so ever maybe you guys can see something I'm missing ? I took some large fans off

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Curling related to pot size?
My little curly baby has gotten worse could she need repotting ?? A second plant also in a smaller pot has started to curl a little. Ik it could be genetic what do y'all think?

plant seems at a standstill - very little gain in size and new growth - how come?
they were put into bigger pots 2 weeks ago. hardly any new growth and gain in size. one in very bad shape, other developing hairs nicely. both stay almost same I size and no new leaves. I was expecting them to stretch now in week 6. what to do apart from watch and be patient?
