So this is your advice huh.:spew:

You know so much about growing in coco yet you have offered not a shitfucks worth of solid information pertaining to what Paulies dealing with.

Please give your opinion on why his plant is still so small after like 6 weeks and why his pot of coco isn't drying?


Then....explain to him how it needs to be fixed.....not the crap you posted above.....because none of that or any thing else you've post in here pertains to the situation.Nothing you posted above is a "helpful suggestion" considering his "current" grow.
U mad bro?

Ok, just joining the show but haven't read through all the comments so bare with me.
Lets see, first off, id recommend not watering and feeding daily. Even at half strength. Let the soil completely dry out. Straight water it no feeding, make sure you completely soak the soil, let it run off a good 30% or more of the water you put through it. You are not going to drown it .
Then let completely dry out again. Now on the next feeding, go ahead and give her full strength, next one straight water. - rinse and repeat.

Its an Auto so definitely don't top or anything like that. You don't want to shock the plant since its an auto. Id leave the lights running atleast 18hrs at a time. I ran my autos under 20/4 personally, and that was only to let my LEDs have a break otherwise id of ran 24/7.

Speaking of LEDs, you need to get yours closer to your plant. 8-10" above plant is perfect. My first grow was actually an Auto. Was a ton of fun, didn't get very big. Much like yours is before it started to flower. But it was the beginning of a wonderful hobby.

Biggest two tips I can give, don't love your plants to death, and don't chop it down too early. Let those hairs actually recede back into the plant. You'll know when.

Low budget concept grow on a blackstar LED "ufo". Before that was a 60 Day Wonder auto. Notice how close my plant sits to it? That's the same distance I kept for my Auto. Heres a pic of how "big" the 2 autos I grew got. And here is a pic of the cola from the 60DW after a 3 month cure.

Didnt see if anybody posted this yet only had time to skim shortly but the "burn hole" in your leaf is actually a small ph issue that was probably created from 1- a couple waterings of low ph water or possibly chlorinated water or not enuff cal mag. The chlorinated water thing havent done much research only heard rummors of water having too much wtvr in it that it fucks ur leaves bums and thats why ppl leave their tap water out for 24 hours atleast to defuckulate itself and reach proper temps in some cases. Ph well simple to fix. Calcium is absorbed like a muther fucker in coco making it less available to the plant until later stages in its life where basically the coco has absorbed as much as its fat ass can which is when u need to back up off the cal mag. Think somebody already said something about the preflowers so onto the slow growth ive been experiencing same problem in soil but for different reasons. Think i saw something saying u were growing autos not sure and sorry if i missread just a bit bizaked as fuck but dont transplant autos autos are like the bbws of the world they wanna stick with one guy or else they take forever to get they pussy back out there but as for the hoes your can transplant them bitches a thousand times as long as the dicks bigger they dont really give a fuck. Anyway that and the ph alone i dont think that could single handedly slow your growth down that much sorry but youll have to figure out the rest on your own homie gluck.

Just a little update. This was her as of yesterday. Under the LED obviously. I just wanted you all to see the height difference.
Looking good bro, might I suggest doing a little light LST work. nothing drastic, just using some string pull the branches down/out little all the way around the pot so you're getting maximum penetration and light absorption as well as air flow while she begins to fill in those buds

I appreciate the advice my man. I will definitely do that. I just need to figure out how to secure the string

Thats a nice plant you got there it looks very healthy,I looked up that strain on msnl and its a quality strain,just have patience sometimes its taken 6 weeks in veg for an auto at least it was with mine i had a white widow auto.You'll see she will shoot up to massive size when she starts flowering it'll be an impressive plant its got good structure.And well done for getting an LED.Todays LED's are powerfull.and they have low heat which all round is much better for the plant and less of a fire and heat hazard.Im also a noob and i have a 114w intense LED and mine was small to start off with but its a monster now it has outgrown my closet..But in my humble estimation growing in coco you could easily get 3+ ounces out of her in a 3 gallon.The one thing ive learnt with growing mj is patience i know it sucks but you have to be patient.but she will be a good smoke.I.Good luck and keep us posted
