All good brother , I hear ya. I’m not as lucky as you I only picked up a 3 pack of Fat Banana Autoflower. Now I already grew Girl Scout Cookies Auto flower and had no issues, unless you want to count the one girl
that had some funky leaves and lagged behind the other girl In the early stages. But she bounced back and fell just short in the end to the first girl. So this was new to me. I haven’t had issues in the past other then seeds that didn’t pop at all they were duds

Well guys not sure if this will work or if these girls will bounce back and show their resiliency but I guess in another couple weeks I’ll know for sure. Here’s what I did, I’m saying it’s the soil and possibly the lights didn’t help beings they were a little high in their LUX readings. Not crazy high but high non the less. So I flushed , and transplanted into a Coco Perlite Organic & Natural mix. I also have this Mycorrhizal Innoculant power that it calls for 1- teaspoon per gal distilled water. Well I made it 1/2 strength since these girls are hurting, but it’s supposed to help with feeding the roots and get a nice root network going. I’ve watch a few videos of guys who use this in transplanting seedlings they’ll sprinkle a little of the powder straight in the soil and place their babies in 1 gal pots that can go straight into their 5 gal pots for permanent growing. Others have put them in other pots like solo cups or manure cups. Anyways they took pics after growing a few weeks in these smaller vessels and the root structure is unbelievable. So while my babies are in recovery mode I’m going to mix up my own soil for the future. I have a 10lb. block of CocoCoir and 2 8qt. bags of Perlite to start with, maybe get some worm castings to add. Figure I’ll read up what others mixed others have had success. Here are some pics of the materials and some pics of the girls today. I transplanted into manure cups that can go straight into the 5 gal bags if they survive. If not I have a couple other seeds from Royal Queen that were going to be my next grow. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh yes forgot to mention I removed the dead parts. Some of the lower leaves just basically fell off. Also there has been some new leaf growth, so I’m hoping they have a chance.

Are your plants in better shape ?

 

[twshoot67]

They’re alive but growing very slowly. I’m giving it one more week and if there no substantial change I will start some new seeds and start all over. I think they’ve been stunted. Thanks for asking.

The Fat Banana has white hairs and it‘s the height of a seedling so not sure how it can be in this state as it hasn’t had anytime to veg at all so I’m sure it will die off. Don know enough about Autoflowers to say it has a chance , here’s some pics I just took now! These are 6 days since last pics taken and there’s really no growth. So my plan was to give them a few weeks to see if they bounce back but it’s not looking too good imo.

They all bit the dust. So I started new seeds and different genetics. I’ll get some pics up asap. Been a very hectic couple months between doctors for myself and then my 82 year old mom who had her knee replacement surgery now 3 1/2 weeks ago and she still can’t do anything on her own. I was surprised the doctor even replaced her knee at 82 years of age. I thought they wouldn’t pay for it over certain age. So I guess there’s hope if I live that long… lol. Anywho I’m going to try and start posting again. Real soon!!!

Hopefully you’ll have more luck with these ones…
Autos can be much more finicky than normies, especially with repotting.
This thread helped me a lot with the last autos I did

Ok well it’s been super hectic between my bs health issued and my mom recently getting her left knee rrplaced at age 82. First I was surprised one that Medicare would even pay for it also at her age of 82 that’s fairly old to approve something that cost so much here in the states plus the risk of surgery in genera. but very good news mom made it through the surgery fine. Now the real work has been going on for a few weeks.Not sure why but she only does 2 days a week of therapy. When I had my knee done I went 4 days out of 6. And it’s very hard work to go through the pain to advance the knee to working as it should after surgery. But enough surgery talk. Just wanted to explain my lack of grow posts. so here’s a few weeks of pics of how the 4 girls are coming along. Next couple post will show the progress from where I left off
