So pissed off.
I've got three Dutch Passion AutoUltimates, two of which are bushy dwarves and the other is 2.5 ft tall but spindly and stretched with most of it's leaves turning yellow - two Blue autoMazars from DP, they too have tiny thin leaves and while well formed, are totally stunted. In back up I have four normal photoperiod Liberty Haze, in Plagron Light mix, apparently hard to grow but they are really doing well at day 18.
So this is my 5th ever grow, I have an advanced nutrient based detailed schedule with airpots in light mix soil mixed with 30% extra perlite and 20% coco coir, with previous efforts yielded amazing results. I have had help with everything from a very experienced grower friend and also talking to Tang.
I was previously very sure that I could rely on myself to not cock up.
What did I do wrong? A moment of madness in the grow shop.. I pointed to the bags of soil, and the bags of coco coir. The soil was the one I used last time wasn't it? It had been 4 months and I just didn't slow it down and look at the exact type of soil. What was it? It was BioBizz AllMix. It's way too hot for autos. It is designed as far as I know for transplanting grown mother plants into, they LOVE that stuff once established, but not autos. Any nutes you may add after is going to send the ph through the roof plus there's the added stress of roots finding extra hot hotspots of nutrient rich lumps of material which confuses and stumps the growth. In a word it sends return signals to the plant to tread carefully.
I have loads of yellowing leaves which I have attempted to address with 40 - 60 litre flushes in 15 litre pots, it helped a bit to get the ph down, but it's just been a complete nightmare. If it wasnt for a lack of funds I would've just started over. My schedule is ph and ec perfect if you stick to the method.
DO NOT USE BIOBIZZ ALLMIX EVER.
End of story, lesson learnt.

... stunting can happen, even if there's little sign of nute burn (yellow/browned out tips, etc.).. I strongly suspect that's what happened here,...
