TangieMatic and Creme Brulee autoflowers

[Raver90e]

The name makes it sound good - had to look it up - actually I have had it, the restaurant just gave it a different name -

Crème brûlée -

"(/ˌkrɛm bruːˈleɪ/; French pronunciation: ​[kʁɛm bʁy.le]), also known as burnt cream or Trinity cream,[1] is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is normally served at slightly chilled; the heat from the caramelizing process tends to warm the custard producing a cool center. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can have a variety of other flavorings."

Oh haha yeah it was actually free with another seed i bought cant wait to see it finished

Are you allowing the soil to slightly dry out between mistings?
And yes, at this point, personally, I would up the water, and then give a 'dry spell'.
I'm talking a good soaking, then I let it dry till the first inch or so of dirt is asking for water.
But this all depends Depending on YOUR fertilizing plan.

Salt or organic based fertilizer?
Salt based like their environment a little damper, organic based can dry out a bit more.
Same with the soil composition, or lack there of.
Coco, peat, hempy... all require a bit of water, regularly and frequently. Peat less than the others.
A rich organic soil, again, can survive water fluctuations and crops like cannabis and tomatoes prosper under a wet/dry cycle. (In my opinion)
If you wish to give her a feeding, try an extremely light dose of salt based or a healthy top dressing of worm castings (poop). Take note of the progress after, experiments do best when you can mentally or physically document.

Do you check the PH of the water in/runoff? May be a factor in the yellowing. This could be done cheaply with litmus paper, not very precise. Another option is getting a PH testing device. They are incredibly accurate if devices are properly calibrated.

Thanks for the elaborate reply much appreciated!

Yeah currently allowing it to dry before misting. The fertilizer im gonna use is biobizz grow nutrients and the soil was biobizz lightmix which says it contains enough nutes for early growth. I havent checked the ph so will look for a good reader.

Going off ur advice i am going to water till run off today which hasnt been done yet and put minimal feed in

So following the advice given i just watered till run off and managed to see a little bit come out the bottom so backed off. Also added 0.5ml grow nutrients because the yellow edges of leaves were starting to worry me

I will be following the method of waiting till soil is dry and then watering again until i see run off

Let me know your thoughts please

You should be able to start the nutrient schedule for your nutrients now, they look old enough. Very tightly packed nodes too!

Thanks man i have started light nute feeding as of yesterday so will keep you all updated. Whats the significance of tight packed nodes? Will it be small and bushy perhaps?

 

[Bona Fortuna]

Typically, tighly packed nodes indicate that you will have one of two things;
A smaller, bushier plant or...
Seriously dense buds.
Of course, this is a blanket statement and won't be correct all the time.

Day 25 update. Soil dried in 2 days after watering so watered again till run off today with 0.5ml biobizz grow nutrients. Should the plant be bigger at this stage?

 

[AgentPothead]

Yes it should be larger, I wouldn't worry about watering to run off, that will just leach nutrients out of the soil. I have been watering by weight, lifting the pot it becomes obvious when it has no water weight.

Thank you thats a good point about the nutrients. In terms of it should be larger what could be the causes of its stunted growth and what could be a potential resolution?

 

[AgentPothead]

It could be so many things stunting growth. Temperature, too much water in the roots, not enough water in the roots, genetics. You said they are autoflowers right? Autoflowers tend to get a lot easier stressed than photoperiods, so it could be a combination of all the things.

Thank you for the help i think it may be temperature as its quite cold in the room

 

[Bona Fortuna]

Cold will do that.
Just as agent pothead had posted, it could be a number of things that stress your plant though. Usually a combination of stressors will stunt a plant, they can get by with a little bit of stress.
Potential resolution? Just let the plant do its thing.
Take note on what worked and try to alter what didn't work on the next run. Bit by bit...
You WILL have flourishing plants with the right mentality, strangely enough.
Patience is your best ally in growing.
And Please take any bit of advice I give with a grain of salt.
I'm an avid outdoor grower, I usually dabble in outdoor, organic, in ground plants or brief imdoor runs for seed.
