HELP!!! Autos not looking good with slow growth.
- Thread starter roleth
- Start date
What happens when a auto is stunted? Do they fail to finish or do they take longer to finish? I haven't heard/seen what happens and these are stunted by a week and a half. The big plants with the rust spots is what im referring to.

Ive only used dyna grow grow and dyna grow foliage pro, both worked fine for me by themselves in coco and soil.
Mega Crop vs Dyna-Gro comparison grow
This showdown is going to be in the same manner as my (https://www.rollitup.org/t/dyna-gro-vs-advanced-nutrients-connoisseur-ak47-grow.429438/#post5684072) journal in that it won’t be a simultaneous grow-off, but rather a direct comparison of the plants foods offered by Megacrop (MC) and DynaGro...

autos that are stunted will not be as big when they finish, you don’t get to control the veg period via light cycles, the plant controls it
Ok nice i stunted these by a wk or 2 and they are 30"+. I guess im worried about the flowers not ripening to completion. They've had great growth so far onto flower but it seems to be slowing down with little flower development.

@OneMoreRip has no experience with autos.........or anything else for that matter.
Take whatever he says with a grain of salt.
Haha thats why I told him that they are 30"+. That alone cancels out his knowledge and shows that lack of. All the info vaguely says throw them away but doesn't really explain why.
So do the autos finish ripening or do they give immature flowers when stunted?

The plant will finish ripening if you let it. Just don't cut early. If you stunted it will take longer. I fucked up and my autos are on week 17. Finishing up now. I'll be on week 21 when I'm done harvesting probably. I harvest the top and let the bottom catch up.
Nothing will be immature if you let it mature haha

Sorry, i have to ask, does this apply to just plain coco? Or any kind of coco mix? I treat my coco mix like soil....with no problems. Im on a F W W W F schedule, but every single watering they get Calmag

When you grow in soil you feed the bacteria. Bacteria eat the food and break it down. This then feeds the plant.
This is why you feed water water. Need to let the bacteria do their thing.
In coco you don't feed the bacteria you feed the plant. Coco and hydro are the same. So you are supposed to feed every day. That is just how it is. Not saying you can not or should hot. Just not the normal way to do coco.

Interesting. Im using Royal Gold's King Mix. That's probably why im able to get away with the FWWWF schedule

Im thinking you might be feeding a tad high for size of plants, but what do l know?
Will excess give the same signs of a deficiency? I honestly dont know due to it being my first grow.

Your autos will finish like any other, veg is critical and your way past that, autos have come far so l dont think you have to worry. When l grew them potency was still an issue. And yes excess can cause lockout.

I would continue with some veg nutes in mix until colas are formed. Try 800ppm and you might do better, imo!
Ok imma back them off 200 ppm or so and see what happens.

Im just pushing my photos to 1500ppm and they are 4ft plus so pretty big. Over a month into flower. Hope this gives sort of a referance, someone grows just autos on here, cant remember who. Autodr maybe? They should be able to give auto referance, havent grown the new good autos.
