Autos - almost week 4 look how tiny why?

Yeah the other option is throw them in the flower tent and walk away and plant a few new ones.
This is week 4

Oh ok then yes it’s small. Wait for some more opinions I’d give it a week if you don’t see major improvements then toss them.

My 12 day old ones are bigger than that only thing I can think of is iva lack of nutes or crap soil lack of water. What is it your growing in.
Big rootz soil, so not a soil issue, definitely not under watered if anything I've over watered.

Need a little more info. Type of water? Ph? Light height? Size of pots? Etc etc etc. The more information you provide, the better the help will be. No matter how insignificant it may seem, add it in there. Sometimes the little things end up being the main culprit.
Tap water.phd to 6.5, 1 gal pots, light at 24"

Have you checked your city water logistics? Sometimes depending on where you live, city water is bad, I know it is where I live, I have to use calmag which typically isn’t necessary when using tap water. Also, while I understand you are using Big Rootz, I’m interested in knowing what the NPK ratios are. It’s not listed on the bag or the site, at least from what I’ve seen. Very important information to consider. 4 weeks into the grow, I’m sure they are starting to get hungry, but without knowing what the NPK ratios are, it’s hard to narrow anything down. It says the soil is ph adjusted, so apparently ph’ing your water isn’t a concern, although I would do it anyway.
Yes, they'll finish in the 1 gal. Sog style grow
Copy, I may have to get an analysis done.
Today they seemed happier, will just let em go i guess, shrug. Not like the space is ultra premium needed at the moment.

Those NPK ratios aren’t gonna cut it. They are extremely low. My nitrogen ( N ) is an 8, and that’s about as low as I’m willing to go during veg, and you are at .3. P and K needs to be boosted significantly during flower, and you are at .3 and .5. My P and K ratios are 15-17. I would suggest either getting some liquid Nutes, or amendments. Those girls pretty much starving right now.
Ugh, well that's yuck. Guess its back to ffof for me.
So you run 8-15-17?
Guess its time for me to do some researching. Was hopi g to avoid having g to use nutrients, but looks like its unavoidable.
So, should I supplement the water with every feeding with a 6-4-4 (see attached, I like the fox farm ones, but honestly open to cheaper alternatives).

Not necessarily, I run 8-3-3 during veg. During flower I completely cut the nitrogen and run 0-15-17. If the plant wants Nitrogen, I let it feed on its self to get it. But I grow organically. My amendments aren’t that high in P and K, so I have to supplement with kelp and guano to reach the desired levels of P and K that I’m looking for. When I choose to bottle feed, I use the FF trio. ( grow big, big bloom and tiger ) My soil is promix hp, whether I bottle feed or use amendments. Coco is a whole other beast. Other than that, I use calmag and blackstrap molasses ( unsulphured ). And that’s about it. Always ph to 6.5-7. Never really have issues or deficiencies.
So just keep an eye out for nute burn and feed em till they pop. Copy, thx man!!
