ok so i started with 40 plants total.started off fine then leaves started drooping(pretty sure from overwatering).then started to turn pale green/yellowi started feeding small dosge of nutes and noticed a big difference.but now i have autos that are showing pistols that are tiny plants.i just put them in 3 gallon pots today and switched them from the flour lights to 1000 watt mh.will i get any drastic change in growth? I am using a light warrior ocean forrest 50/50 mix with perlite.ph is 6.5. I dont know what i did/doing wrong. any advice is greatly appreiciated

transplanted on day 13.gave nutes day 26 when the lower leaves went pale.so for the autos was it a good idea to put them under a 1000 watt hps today or do you think they are still to young?

How long does your soil stay wet?

Kinda looks like a PH issue going on too.

The first ones you might not have got transplanted in time. As soon as you see any sign of sex, that's time. No time to sit on the fence.

I have kept my autos under a 600hps from day one to finish. I just wouldn't sit the 1k to close to them.

i think bailer might be onto something... can you take a soil ph again?

also...best thing you can do to help them now is get some Kangaroots Root Drench... use that to help the build a root system fast... theyll still be small... but get a better chance at amping up befoe full flower sets on...

also... couple ph charts for ya:


also... this thread may help you...:

If there isn't enough drainage in the soil or if it sits wet too long. You will be damaging roots. Which will lead to deficiencies.

Do you use tap water?

Edit:
This is sour60 about 20 ish days(above soil). If you click the sour60 link in my sig, you can see her finished.

yeah... overwatering is one of the worst things you can do... def looks like you had some of that in there as well... there may be other issues too... in fact overwatering can sometimes swing your ph out.
