Nitty, I'm not sure what the hell you do, but you don't start bottom feeding till 3 weeks. You hand feed by top 1 to 2x a day with coco for the 1st 3 weeks. You nees to really just get FFOF, 3 to 5 gal pots and just water them every 4 to 5 days and relax. Simple is just plain better sometimes.
I'm watering from the top buster,and I know it takes that long, it's not my first time!!! But I'm just realizing that doing this shit by hand is much more appealing to me...

Is it too late to transplant these??? I want them out of these autopots... I'm about to say fuck it and scrap this shit and start over...WITHOUT AUTOPOTS!!! I really want to save the AIP's,since I've never grown them before... That Stomper looks like shit,but I believe that I can bring it back in a regular pot...20201204_120927.jpg20201204_120940.jpg

You're booty Nitty. It's definitely NOT the type of pot you use that causes the errors XP

No errors, the shit is just too slow for me right now... I have things that need to happen asap and having to wait for these autopots to start doing what they do has thrown me off schedule... And those photos aren't in regular soil, their in Tupur, so no,I don't need soil to grow, I need pots to get me where I want to be...

XD ok Nitty. Good luck and hope you get them turned around.

well OK then, I guess that's not slowing you down... I've noticed cooler temps can slow autos way down. I'm sure you know that though.

my little grow experiment feels like it's going in slow motion, but that's because it is. my night temps are 66º, daytime is 70-72º, and the lights are only on for 12hrs/day. I'll end out with mini plants, and at this rate they might take 12 weeks to finish, but hopefully when they do I'll have some seeds. that's all I'm after this time around.

I just wasn't prepared for running the autopots is all... Its my fault... Caught up in the hypeness of the situation...

it sucks when we're off our game or not connecting with our setup. the girls will come around, one way or another. At least you've used autopots before so you know what you need to do.

Mate, I just noticed this too!!

Been a lot cooler and they are like half the size.

I first noticed this with my outdoor grows, since every grow season is a little different, if we had a cool spring the plants took forever to establish. I guess it slows their metabolisms down, which seems to also slow down their 'inner clock'. They mature more slowly, and can take longer to finish. But like everything, different strains react differently. Some of my outdoor plants seemed to be permanently stunted by cool weather early on, others took off as soon as it warmed up.

I've been keeping an eye on light balance. I think that the warmer it is the faster the metabolism is going, the more light they can process and therefore the closer the lights can be to them. I imagine that at their slower growth rate, they probably need less intense light and less nutes too. Something to keep an eye on, I'm not really sure, it's just my understanding of things.

Definitely man.

Check out this girl - survived the winter at 55n north in a greenhouse then flowered twice in the spring summer so lasted like 8 months but got hit with a little budrot. NL auto staying true to its name!!

My photos are at those temperatures I mentioned before during light hours, lights off they are at around 68 or something like that...
