Day 26

New growth is staying healthy bar a little bit of yellowing in a few lower leaves. PH is good so have ordered biobizz alg-a-mic to help bring her back to great health. Flowering will begin in a week or so. The autofresian dew is growing incredibly fast and already has some 7 finger leaves appearing, she had her first feeding of 1/3 strength biobizz grow yesterday. Stay tuned!!

That was my thoughts, I plan to up the dose of bio-bizz grow next feed aswell as supplement with the alg-a-mic which has extra magnesium, calcium and other micro-nutrients and also works with the grow to make more of the NPK available to the plant. Want it perfect before I flower it!

I wouldn't up the dose of anything. It's still trying to recover. Full strength feed now will only make it worse.
I rarely use full strength according to the label.
Nute manufacturers don't care about your weed, they just want to sell you more extortionately priced nutes.

Yea wear how's thing's mate.....I'm also a UK grower and use most of the nuits you r using.I have read your thread from the start and have noticed a few thing that have looked and sounded out of place firstly your room......keep it tidy at ALL times their should be no dead leaves or spilled food anywhere in your grow room next is food DO NOT FEED YOUR PLANT ANYMORE THAN 2ml per litre the of bb grow this is plenty for your plant to flourish with and only feed every second watering you mentioned bb soil allmix or lightmix this is important because allmix has loads init to sustain growth for at least 3-4 weeks and any added food in this time will lead to over feeding witch imo is a big part of your problem either stick with one or the outher type of soil then you no exactly wot your plant is using next forget the Epsom salt a cheap bottle of cal/mag is a MUST for your situation imo you will be astounded how much better your plant's will benefit with the correct use of it(£12) anouther thing is your light(no I'm not going to slag you for using a cfl)but obviously if you r planning on keeping growing when you get your first harvest in maybay you could INVEST in a 600watt dimmable ballast(forget a 400 I promise you will only regret buying it)the 600 can be dimmed to 400 and only cost a couple of quid more think ahead.....looking at some of your pics the light seems to be very far away for a cfl(I use powerful cfls for propagation)and I can have them only a few inches from the light this is where it should be.......adhere to some of these recommendations and you will see a big difference.......I will keep my eye on your thread and see how you r getting on so for now best of luck and I hope she is good to you.......

Well Mr green,

Can I begin by saying a massive thankyou for your time and effort to see what I am doing. The exact reason I started a journal was so people could tell me exactly what's good and bad. The autoflower is in bb light mix, the big bagseed is in generic supermarket compost with canna coco added to stop it drying out every other day! The leaves were intentionally mixed into the soil as to not waste their nutrients but I'm guessing this is a bad idea? I will not raise the dose of bb grow like I was planning. In terms of calmag, I will order some tonight aswell as lower my light slightly.

My car broke last week and once it's fixed I plan on ordering this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CA41044/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1443804467&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=600w+grow+kit
To flower my bagseed and then become part of a perpetual grow (2 plants 2 month veg in the cfl cupboard the 2 plants finishing in the hps tent with maybe room for a few autos along side)
Your recommendations will be adhered to and I will keep this journal updated. Thanks again!

IM SICK OF BUYING WEED!

Few things I noticed while reading...
It's sounds like your transplanting too much, and it looks like possibly overwatering. Make sure you let them get bone dry before watering again. And if you already have pillars chomping your plant and your not into budding yet, your in for a shitty surprise. Get some BT and nuke that closet

The auto is in the pot it began in and will finish in and no more transplanting for the other plant :) I have been allowing the soil to get to the point of where no moisture can be felt with a finger in the soil but I don't let them droop as some do, maybe I should? Bg caterpillar spray has been bought, used once a week and all seems fine now!! :)
