Picture of my growroom setup. Haven't seen any noticeable growth with these girls for days now. Auto Green Poison hasn't popped 2nd set of true leaves yet.
Other info:
Medium is Phat Cocos Cal/Mag enriched, Perlite and 2 inches of Growstones at the bottom of the autopots.
I'm on day 10 still watering top down. Stopped watering until topsoil is dried out. Coco is still moist 1 inch down.
Today I filled a 500ml spray bottle and put just a few drops of my nute A + B combo in the spray bottle and wet them down. The AGP is showing signs of the edges of the 2 main leaves curling which is either over or underwatering so I gave a light watering of only about 12oz each of distilled water...tap water that I had left out overnight.
