The burn just doesnt seem to be stopping :S i think it might be because of my soil. I was pretty stupid to add Red soil along with my coco i think thats whats causing the burnt leaves :( im so scared i havent even added nutes after that just been watering. I really hope she will finish out!

I'm a new grower as well. I'm on day 36 right now with bubbalicious auto. Just from what I've read. Sounds like you are watering a lot. I've over watered before and killed my plants. I've also read that some autos can be sensitive to nutes, but its a hit or miss, good luck I'm getting these seeds this month

Thanks mate! You think its because of over watering? im using a coco+red soil mix, and now ive been watering with like 2 litres every day before lights off with about 15-20% runoff. The top 2 1/2 inches or so get dry every day now.

I've never used coco before. I just grabbed a bag of potting soil and went from there. Haven't used any nutes. And even tho my top couple inches are dry I still water every 3 days. I heard watering everyday can stunt growth and drown them. But like I said I'm a noob and but been. Reading forums after forums.

This might be completely wrong, but I thought you couldn't overwater in Coco? I read that somewhere (i'm a noob)

I'm not sure. Never used it before. I always grew outside. This is my first run indoors. Mine are almost 12" I haven't nutes them and it decent potting soil I guess lol. How much longer till they are done

I'm using roots organic soil, which has good drainage, but supposedly not as good as Coco. I water every 3-4 days, 3 gal pots. Coco, has better drainage, may want to look up how often to water with runoff for Coco. I'll let an expert chime in.

Been doing a lot of reading and ive found out that coco cannot be easily overwatered. However it is still possible. But i think im way off the limit. The reason im continuing the schedule is because i think the plant has been improving, lot more white hair now and its coming up :)

Day 48 and 50(A lil slow/stunted on the growth but still love her :D )

First 3 pics are of day 48 last two of today day 50!

What do you guys think? ive decided to just water her untill she finishes out and not risk adding any nutes.

Haha! sorry i was about to mention it but id begun to think halfway that it might not survive till the end :P Oh even at this stage only once in 3 days? damn i really think that overwatering is the problem then! I did screw up by mixing the coco with red soil before starting though. Never again! And congrats again on your harvest blackhawk :D

Here she is on day 53

use just coco/perlite at 70/30 ratio. Put in all the nutes phed at 5.8 every third day till u see runoff. If u r using hydro nutes u don't need anything else in coco.

Cheech do u have a hydroponic store near u? If you got a little 250 watt MH/HPS it would kill. They run about 90 to 100 bucks and you could even get a better deal.
