I'm running auto's and photo's this year and all seem to be fine except the Fast and Vast auto's. I lost one yesterday and one was withering away when I woke up this morning. The photo's are all doing fine and haven't lost one. My NL auto's are fine.. its just the Fast and Vast. I thought maybe it was hot soil but if that were the case I'd see damage on the others as well because all of the soil used was from the same batch. I'm stumped.
Hope you solved your problem.

i have others that are doing fine in the same soil.. this is a critical diesel in same soil.. i have another auto purple that is doing much better also.. some times it's hit or miss.. i know my soil is a little hot though it's been cooking for a while.. i've been too lazy to get some peat and cut it

I'm starting to regret getting those Fast and Vast.. I should've invested in more NL. I guess I fell victim to the marketing scheme.
I still have 3 that haven't popped above the soil yet. I hope I have better luck with them or my hopes of an early harvest is going out the window for sure.

i think it has to do with how much ruderalis was left in the cross
it seems like the more a auto has been crossed the more nute tolerant they become
just figured id add Boston i thought you already knew the blues and purps were nute sensitive from the go
ya i usually only take out about 32oz.. i knew it was gunna be a little hot so i took out a good gal.+ 1" or 2 on the top... but she did a crazy shoot str8 in2 the hottest part.. she's gunna pull through.. she's already show'n sex...hopefully some side branching will help too

It wouldn't be a bad idea to use some sort of natural mulch to absorb water and control soil temperature to some degree. The mulch will hold the water and release slowly into the soil while keeping the soil cool.

Yeah I love mulch! usually if it is pretty looking it isn't going to be the best for your plants. At least thats what I un-covered.

then life happened and i gave up the research

ya and the organic compost that is still chunky actually absorbs N so its not always a good thing but it looks amazing
