ya autos should be flying mate every auto ive grown out has been chopped in 8-9 weeks from seed.
you should see the flowers by week 3 and by week 5-6 they should have stopped the stretch and be full on into bloom.

After reading my notes the Magnesium makes more sense. The lower your ph the less it becomes available.

Up the cal mag a bit, and top dress with dolomite lime. This will be the organic buffer that you need.

i have some dolomite lime on its way so hopefully it doesnt get too bad by the time i get it, just got to hope for the best i guess

I was taught when adding the lime not to up your cal mag if you have already been adding it. The problem isn't lack of cl/mag but the low PH that is blocking it out. I forgot exactly what too much calmag does but the dude who taught me definitely knows his shit and made that mistake years ago.

yeah i know this lime already has mag and cal in it so theres no need to add extra, but thanks for the heads up though

I had the same problem 2 mths ago when i tried a peat/coco mix that came from a shady dro store. But first I'll explain wat ur problem is. Peat degrades over time and becomes more acidic soil company add lime to buffer it but because of either improper storage by the retailer or improper mixing by the company either way ur peat is decomposing lime is the fix but dont top dress it'll take a while to kick in mix 1tsp per gal water and water with it. It'll start raising p.h slowly after the first treatment and u can't over lime that way u get her where u want her i would shoot for 6.5 and use fine powder dolomite not prilled hope it helps bro.


Edit. In my coco/peat mix i seen my best veg growth@ 6.0-6.3
