Hey guys,

I started a small low budget grow recently with a sour diesel autoflower and I'm having problems. I started in a larger pot as I read that it can be ok for autoflowers.

Now my plant is drooping and I don't know if it's overwatered or underwatered. I didn't water it for a couple of days and the soil is relatively dry I'd say.

I hope somebody here can help me!

Thanks

Starting larger pots its hard causes to watering, may watered too much or maybe too much light also if that coco i cant selec on blurry background but thats too different style to grow in soil..
-IMO-
Dont add nutes or fertilize at this phase just water it..
Use 6.5ph water and do not use filtered water (for micros),
Stack up tap waters and use after 24 hour (for the chlorine).
Raise the light. low 75 / 150ppfd and use true kelvin light 6500k on this phase..
No need to leave tap water out for chlorine. Absolutely none.

When starting in a bigger pot generally you only want to water the stem of the plant out to where the leaves extend to. you don't wanna go further than that
 
yes it gets hydrophobic just like peatmoss. I put my pots into oil drain pans and let it suck up the runoff and it stays very hydrated and grows great. People talk about salt buildup, but i dont agree.
the plants i have going right now are in coco/compost mix and they seem to be doing well so far, haven't noticed any hydrophobic qualities yet in fact I've observed that it uptakes and stores water very well almost too well, i accidentally over watered because of said water retention.
