Week 8 - Godzilla Cookies Auto - Feels like they are substantially behind. Thoughts on pest management or feeding schedule tweaks?

54 days = 7.4weeks Are you sure this is correct?? The plant looks "youthful" for its age.

Cannabis needs much more sunlight compared to your typical house plant, at least if you want it to produce anything. At nearly 2 months old, this plant should be entering the last few weeks of its journey yet it looks like it's only about 2 weeks old. If you were growing a photoperiod you could probably just fix the lighting and roll with it but being an auto that's this far along? You should probably start over with a new seed. Hard telling how this plant might finish.

Looks like she's recovering atm and will probably kick on abit soon, I'd say you need to increase temp a little bit maybe to around to 24-27 degrees see how she does. Looks abit hungry for nutrients aswell mate.

They look like they are not getting enough light to me. How maany hours of direct sun are they getting..........autos need about 14 hours of sun to grow their best outdoors. If you are in the Northern hemisphere and they are only 8-10 hours of direct sun each day, then that is your problem. Without a diary, it is almost impossible to say anything much else without taking wild guesses as to what you may or may not be doing. Can't suggest "feeding schedule tweaks" as there is no info on what you are feeding them, how much and how often.

I think your pest issues and other factors mentioned derailed this plant. No worries, i'm sure you will learn something that will help avoid it in future. There's not much you can do about this grow, unfortunately. It's starting to flower, so at least it'll end at some point, lol... 6-8 weeks more... up to you if the effort is with 10-20grams. the learning aspect may make it worthwhile. "they" say to not pot-up an autoflower. I'd suggest starting in appropriately sized pots for stage of life. Probably need to tweak the balance of your fertilizer too, but that may be the restult of less than optimal watering practices over time due to huge pot, tiny plant related issues. As long as we don't use our retard strength on the rootball, potting up is a very low-stress procedure that should never shock your plant. We are gently placing a plant in a larager pot and gently covering it with substrate. If this shocks a plant it's some shitty ass genetics anyway, lol. I've done hundreds of 'transplants' and never had a problem nor shocked a plant from it. Proper watering procedure- 1) water entire pot - no dry pockets, minimal runoff in soil ensures it... 10% runoff minimum for soilless substrates. the amount of water required is what is necessary and not some predetermined volume you choose. The water capacity of the substrate will determine this, not us. 2) wait for appropriate dryback and repeat. how often you add fertilizer depends. soilless - everytime. Soil has options. Choice of frequency impacts concentration given. In general more often at lower concentrations result in better growth, but at that point you might as well go soilless, if you are adding it everytime. Early on i'd let the top layer dry (coco) or 1" deep (soils / sphagnum peat moss high water capacity substrates) before repeating and feel the weight of it at its drypoint. If you water at same loss of weight, it requires the same volume of water each time, less some imperceviable weight added by growth in that time. Early on stick to a good wet-dry cycle... later on in flower with a robust root mass you can dabble with more frequent irrigation/fertigation but you still need at least a 33% dryback to avoid root rot. Doing so early will result in less root growth if water is 'too available.' look up DLI for your region. Maps will show per month the expected DLI i can get per day... this can help you choose how much shade to give it. 35-40dli is gonna be up near max of what a plant can use per day. plants do develop resistance to excess light outside over time, but may need to be slowly exposed to do it. If your area and time of year is only 30 DLI, shouldn't have to shade it, for example.

If they get direct sun , then its not ok . Maybe watering is wrong, ph or gnats eated roots. If no sun, just bright corner indoors - thats what you should expect. In both cases you could perform better. Rethink how you grow, make a plan and look what you miss/cut corners and what could be improved. Internet is full of info, just invest your time.
