Grow Mediums Strakeys 2.0 autopot grow

Day 33 and it seems like they are stalling. The runty one is runty and the other is staying short. Not really liking the genetics here but i will see them through. Feeding at 1.5 ml a liter canna coco a and b with sensi cal + phd at 5.9

some vendors qoute the time in flower, thus the 45 days. With autos, veg is usually 16-28 days. Fastest I've had an auto finish was 58 days.

Looking nice. I see they say 45 days on their packaging but say 60 days on their website. Screw them breeder times and just blow it up no matter how long it takes.

Pass some of that magic along to me pops.

Day 43 and the girls seem to be on track. Stretching now. One is runty again.....cant figure out why. Feeding at 1.5 ml liter of canna coco a and b and same with calmag. Gonna put these 2 in the greenhouse by the weekend. The diva in there is doing so much better. Wondering if its the temps????

I seem to always get one that is a runt compared to the other one. I was beginning to think it was my own personal growers curse, but maybe not after seeing yours. :smoking:

Ya wtf. Im going to try different genetics next time, maybe dutch passion to see if it happens again. Delicious seeds were ok. The plants in the fiber pots are kickin ass more so than my autopots. Also some type of error there, cant figure it out.

Day 47 and the sun is plumping up the divas. Neither grew much but are filling out. All plants are outside. Feeding canna aqua a and b bloom 1.5 ml liter and cal mag 1.5 ml liter phd to 5.5. As the feed warms up the ph goes up quickly in the medium so i have to be on top of it. Check out their sister in the back. Like the movie twins.

Day 62 and not much is going on with these plants. They havent fattened up in 2 weeks. They are also having n deficiencies. Im wondering if the heat in the greenhouse is causing the problem??

Temps can play a big part for sure. Here is some info on temps and hydro- http://www.simplyhydro.com/nutrient_temp.htm

Another thing I was thinking about was the ph. You said you had to stay on top of the ph with temp changes. So are you adjusting the ph a lot? I remember being told that could lead to lockout, but haven't seen a lot of reference to it lately. Before people would recommend mixing up a gallon of solution to see how much ph adjust it took to bring it into range, and on future mixing you just add the ph adjust to the water before adding any nutrient. Excessive adjustment after that point could lead to lock out. That was like 15 years ago so I don't know if that holds true now? Like I said, I really don't see that brought up anymore. I hope you are able to nail down what is happening. They do look happy though in the pics, so I dunno

Hey penrey thanks for the info. Ive never heard about that ph lockout by adjustment before either. The ph in the coco would swing up as it dried out so i had to water them more but this was not the case in the autopots as they self water. The little plant i chopped due to the start of budrot. The other seems to be moving a little better with a few top feeds so i took her out and will continue to top feed her until she is done. The other coco plants are still vegging so they are fine for now. With all the rain weve been getting here in s. Ontario its hard to escape humidity.
