First Time growing autos - AK420

Hey guys, haven’t posted in a while as I’ve been moving around and haven’t had a chance to keep a grow going. Back to stability again, quick run down, running a spider farmer SF4000, 5x5 tent, 5 gal geopots, the trouble I’m having with this one is it’s in a ‘super soil’ I was convinced to try out from a local grow shop I’ve started going to, he reckons only have to feed it water and some of the additives they offer if I want the soil to last multiple grows. First time running autos and she looked fine to begin with but now the newest growth is all twisted and contorted and I’ve never had this sympton show up. Any tips?
Need to get a new temp & humidity sensor cause mine is shot, don’t have that information at the moment, but doesn’t feel above 30 in there at anytime.

There is nothing wrong here, autos do weird shit, in the first place, and you introduced a lot of new variables to your grow, so you are going to be in for a bit of a ride. I wouldn't be overlly concerned by anything that happens unless you start to see signs of major defects. The last time I grew autos some kind of cheese. They ranged between a foot and 4 feet at full flower outdoors and the end product was meh. So I never did it again..I hope you have better results! Good luck

Initial growth can look awkward but next set of leaves on point, so give it a little time and chill.

I would agree with what has been said and would say that you might want to water around the outside of your ladies make it them roots work for there water as always thank you for your time and the best of luck to you with all of your endeavor

New problem with this new soil I’m presuming, because I don’t know where else they’d have come from. Also thinking they’re fungus gnats? What’s the best way to deal with them?

Yellow sticky traps and apple vinegar

definitely giving up on this soil for my next run, but for now what do I need to do to stop the yellowing? I thought they were underfed but I increased them and now I’m getting nute burn on the tips, any tips are greatly appreciated.
Going back to coco/perlite and canna or professor nutrients next run.

thanks in advance

I got one of those odd little twisted bastards too.

New tent, new light, new soil, new nutes so doing a test run with rando bagseeds to see how it goes.

Pics from yesterday - 25 days old, the little LST'd one in the back is 17 days

My apologies. I am using ffhf, 6.3 pH and temps/RH are great. It hatched like that for me so maybe it is some weird shit that just happens and not necessarily something you did. Just some info for you to help you along your way.

They don’t look bad other than a few leaves. It looks like it was hungry so if you fed it, pluck those leaves off and watch the plant.

Are you allowing 3-5 days between watering?

Actually that is kind of normal since you are already flowering ..... that yellowed ( 3 finger leaf ) is actually expendable and the plant will use it ( hence fade ). The oldest and early leaf will decay as grow moves on.

To easy to overthink your grows. Every strain is different in growth , feeding and end result.

Yup I agree. Some plants are like this. I have two side by side currently, same age, same size, one looks like my lawn 2 days after fertilizing and the other like she's starving and consuming herself.

As long you don't have spots (black or rust) or necrosis on the yellowing leaves, IME it's just nature taking its course.
