We are quite happy with changes in 4 days! New leaves with green color.
They recovered, we don't except a big harvest... a friend said with issues during the early stage with auto flowering would have damaged the roots & stay small with low flower production.
Any thoughts?
Autos can be quite tricky and the advice you where told very well may come to light in exactly that way.
There is also the off chance they will bounce back and do some nice things for you.
Very hard to predict and not all autos react to the same stress in the same way.
I fell you have the best option to correct anything in DWC/RDWC. the root mass of plants grown this way is always massive when its kept in check.
Best Of Luck!
I don't know why so many people with no plant experience start with hydro. It's like building and maintaining a space station. Everything has to work correctly or the astronauts quickly get sick or die. Mother Nature has been growing plants for a very long time with seeds in soil. It's simpler, more forgiving of errors and I think produces better tasting product.
Auto's really need to be grown well from day 1 to get a good yield. They are on a fixed schedule ready or not so any problems directly hurt yield. If this is your first grow I would finish the grow as a learning experience and to get you some home grown product as soon as possible. Your light isn't very powerful so I don't think you will get great yields even when everything goes right so don't expect to break records but you hopefully will get a bud or two from each plant.
Sorry, but start again would be my suggestion, these will be a waste of electricity.
If you are lucky you may harvest enough for 4 joints.
You need to change nutrients too, 22% potassium is waaaaay to much for baby seedlings.
