hello everyone!!
A week ago i have notest that the tips started to burn
and now its look pretty bad.
its suppose to be a unik autoflowering strain that finnish very fast!!but the only unik thing with it is that is the only autoflowering strain in the market that dosent autoflower:cry:
soil=1/3 Perlite,2/3 soil.
Veg=6 weeks from germ. (18/6) just last week i could see the sex in some of them.
Switcht to 12/12 yesterday!
Nuts="Metrop" by the grow outline. feed them evry day,and every third day i use just water.½ a L in each time.
Pot=some are 5 L and some are 7 L pots.
PH=I get 6.5 after adding the nuts,then i correct to 6.2 with "hesi" ph-.
PH runoff was 7.5 today!!
TDS never gets over 400ppm in the feeding water!!
400w hps cooltub from the start.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem.

I´m sorry for my bad english,its not my mother language!

what the ph of the water should be?
1/4 strength of the nuts that they suppose to get in that phase(1 week of flowering)?

phshould always be in and out the runout 6.0---6.5:hump:no mater what you mix at

doing it 1/4 strength your introduce the nutes to them little by lttle so they get used to it...

That's not nute burn. Your ph is too high, flush and lower it to 6.5-6.8. You're locking out nutes cuasing deficiencies.

400 ppm is nothing. I feed with 1200 and my runoff is 1500 in soil. I'm later in flowering though, don't try giving them that much this soon.

Also, you should transplant into a bigger pot now.

I'm growin short rider to, initially because of lack of space! started in a PC case!

Infact, my baby spent 21 days overall in the PC case under a 125watt duel spectrum envirolite!

I'v now given to PC case to a pal an advised him against short rider (as its not that "Short" at all, and as I'v read from many different sources it doesn't autoflower either! (Not that mine has even got near that stage yet)

Im now in a secret jardin tent myself ,1mx1mx2m with a 400wHPS and my little lady is loving me for it! Leaves all pointing upwards soakin it up!, I also popped another 2 short rider seeds 4 days ago (Man, these are SLOW starters) just showing the head of the seed on top of the soil....

quick question Jocke - did yours smell from an early age? I mean before pre-flowers? My baby smells beautiful already and she is only 2 inches tall (on the 4th node)

I'm glad there is a few people growing this now - I now know not to feed it to much - it seems to like the minimum as far as I can tell (which isnt a bad thing, alot more benificial on the pocket thats for sure)

Good luck with the grow buddy!

dude .. true autoflowering plants do not need 12/12.. also the two i grew showed sex in 3 weeks.. maybe crap genetics? or just crappy ass grow conditions... i dunno... sorry
