New Grower Dormant plants

[born420]

Since I started with autos, I have had many of them go dormant. Different strains, but only happens with autos for me. Here are the 50 day old DarkDevils. They are from the first batch.


In the next photo is an il Diavolo. It is 42 days old and when it was small and only had the leaves you see cut, it fell dormant. Stayed like that until this past weekend when it decided to become vigorous. I had not added any nutes or water. If would not drink or eat. If I poured a baster bulb of water, it would run out the bottom. I have sand on top of mine, not sure if that's how it stayed wet. It turned a little yellow but never sagged.



Pic3 is a cheese sprout that was planted the same day as the one next to it. It the same stuff. I just recently placed into some aero ponics to see if that would jump it but nope.









The last thing I wanted to say since your buying beans for these, it was rough to see all the 4 cheese do this except 1, I killed it by accident. One bean left. Lost 2 il Dias counting the one you see here. And also about 6 KC45s. That is the good looking one I'm scared to transplant it now. Not sure if ill get more in the 4 pot or to attempt to trans it. Maybe just cut the pot away and not disturb roots.


I have another Diavolo and a Dark devil that will not be in soil. One is the aero bucket. The other is halo DWC. I unfortunately lost track of which was which. The aero is vigorous and the halo looks to be a staller. They seem to get thinning stalks toward the bottom. Hopefully it's the Diavolo that's gonna make it.


Ill let y'all know if it goes dormant. That will rule out ph if it does.


Any ideas? Cheers.

Nothing...It may not be be good but it appears to be one of a kind issue. Ill take that and attempt to isolate the culprit.

I think you have several problems going here. The first thing I seen were the purple stems and bottom of leaves. Need to know more. What lights you running what nutrenients. And light schedule. Tell us all that you did. A drag I know but before anyone can help this needs to be known.

WTF is with UI here?

Plants that don't go dormant do well, I mix my own soil, 3 parts my soil(peat,humus,manure,sterile potting soil) with 1 part worm castings. I use distilled water and only add a mineral vitamin supplement. The only thing it can be is temperature, or light. I can see how temp can affect plants, but not light. They all became sprouts outside before moving in. The dormant part only sets in when the routine has started. The forum won't let me put my curser at the bottom, ui shit again. Hopefully they fix it, I realize why I don't come here as often as this happens every time and I lose, or can't finish an important part of the post. Probably why my posts are shitty here, check GC. Sorry no more DWC info here. If I try the ui will just piss me off ad it's still morning. Time to get right. Peace. Great forum to read, and maybe its my ipad, but if I can move the cursor back to the bottom, ill just read I guess. Still get props for best auto info out there. Just wish I could participate and pass on experiences with autos. But my cursor has disappeared so I can't continue


I was running an all CFL stealth box, but stealth has become not quite as necessary. I keep the box for quick put away but I currently put them under a 600w HPS with two 6500 CFLs in the hood as well, they stay there 9-11 hours. Then I turn off the HPS and put them with a couple of mother photo plants I keep in veg. Since I only have been flowering autos, they usually see 20 hours avg light per day, but only half is under serious lumens. Installing led supplements in today. I do not think they are strong enough to stand alone at this point in their history. I am very impressed as 4 were only $26 at Wally World. They are a lot brighter than I had thought they would be.

I am at the point of this being my last soil grow. I started a couple of my last auto beans in 5 gallon DWC. One uses halo top feed,
