Held ID Issue

[TheCreaMachine239]

Every time I grow this autoflower strain, it starts getting these same issues every time it goes into flower. Just having a hard time identifying what exactly the issue is. Growing in happy frog potting soil using dr earth dry amendments according to stealthgrow’s recommendations on YouTube. Water when pot feels light with well water that has a natural ph around 6-6.5. Mars hydro T-1000 on 24/7. Let me know what you think.

Way over feeding. Nutrient lockout.

So should I try and flush ?

How much and how often are you feeding dr earth?

Overfed/light stress from running 24 hours.
Use plain water for the next few waterings, and drop your hours to either 18/6 or 20/4.
There is zero benefit from running 24 hour light cycles.

Dr earth has a cannabis feeding schedule on their site. I follow that at 3/4 and do guano, kelp, humic and lots of ewc top dressing. Then fish shit every 3 weeks up till about week 3 of flower which is the last time for fish shit and guano.

2tbs per gallon and 1 1/2 -2 cups of worm castings every three weeks (5 gallon fabric pot).

2tbs per gallon and 1 1/2 -2 cups of worm castings every three weeks (5 gallon fabric pot).

This is pretty much my schedule. 1/2 cup per 10 gallon with worm castings and soil then fish, kelp, humic, guano and water in epsom.

is the extra stuff necessary or can I get buy with just the three bags? Should I try and run a couple gallons of water through the soils to try and flush out some of the excess nutes?

No flush … water only as needed allow plant to acclimate and burn thru excess.

Add only Dr. Earth Dry fertilizer approximately once a week - it takes about 2 weeks for soil to breakdown that feed. No other bottles of this and that. Nothing.

That is what throws everything to shit…. Heavy handed feed.

Matter of fact - autoflowers can run on bagged soil alone. Although Happy Frog is mild compared to a more nute dense bagged like ocean forest , it can be simply “ recharged “ with a cup or two of ocean forest on topsoil then watered in or Dr. Earth dry fertilizer once a week.

Autoflowers do not need complicated feeds since their life is hardwired to about a 100 days plus or minus. You literally can just amend with top dressing.

Top dress only Auto .

Container mix -
Bottom 1/3 FFOF
Top Fill - Recipe 420 soil ( similar to HF )
Dynomyco ( mid layer )
Water only ( tap )

Pretty simple.

Just the 444 and flower girl. Really just 444 alone should pull a decent harvest if your in a bind.
