The plants been stunted since the third week, I checked the soil ph some time around week 4 and it was very alkaline. Could this be the reason why? It hasn't grown in height since but started flowering. How can I have my next outdoor auto grow bigger

Solved

Week 5

Plant. Too short

I would certainly amend your soil pH, first and foremost most👍. When you're running low #'s it can somewhat lock out the certian nutrients that promote growth and bloom (Potassium, Phosphorus and call mag). If you're able to get the pH up to 6.2ish, this would be ideal for that P/Cal take up (I also suggest more potassium and to never fully cut your Nitrogen. Phosphorus/Cal is where it's at, though). She's still in her stretch stage and growing, so there is more then enough time to promote growth and get her larger in height and bushiness before the stretch is over👌when the soil imbalance has been rectified, all will be well and she will get larger and push pistils at a much quicker pace with, hopefully, noticable bud mass getting more and more swollen. Hope this helped. Drop me a line in PM if you think I can help you with anything else. Cheers and all is well👍 she'll go.

It is bad soil and outdoors.. and this is where autoflowers are really separated from photos.they don't get bothered with light leaks when lights off indoors,they need light to grow big.simply your area is not very sunny,it can't get enough light and energy,when it is combined with a soil like this,this is the result.but still,it looks healthy and green.just a little bit pale,because ot the soil quality.it looks to be not letting roots to get air,also its ph is not regulated what makes it hard to control the growth.many premade soil mixes for cannabis growing are rich in nutrients and designed to grow it.since it is already in flowering and bud is coming,transplanting won't do magic.what you can do is to lower the ph of your soil.acidic elements would do the job but I don't think it would be a permanent solution.I have a different sounding advice for you to drop the ph; use bottled nutrients if you have some.add a good base bloom nutrients and some calcium/magnesium,feed for a few waterings in a row,this will help you drop the ph.simply you should be looking for some salt buildup in your soil which will definitely lower the ph in soil.try it and update again please.wish you better grows in future mate.

Hi Ihbag What I will suggest is buy some soil mix witch is suitable for marijuana grow and has self regulation PH. (BioBizz light mix for Autoflowers and BioBizz All Mix for Photosynthetic plants). They both have ph regulations futures there is probably other similar soils. And should help with PH regulation You should probably get feeding schedule For the plants they need different nutrition during different stages to grow healthy. Seedlings,Vegetative,Flowering stage. Select Good Nutritions. Hope this helps and good luck.
