Over watering Im afraid. Wait for the pot to be air light before you water again. The roots are suffocating. Over watering is top up watering every few days.
Help & Advice needed for Autoflower turning yellow and leaves curling (pics)
Heyy awll, Looking for some help diagnosing the problem with my autoflower :O , its almost been 2 weeks now since it was pott'd and its begining to show signs of yellowing and discolouring, also the first true leaves are begining to curl up as if they are drying out.
The soil is a standard mix with no nutes, wattered them 5 days after planting to moistened soil then 4 days after tht, i have been cautious with watering as i heard its very easy to overwater during the baby stage.
Not started a feeding schedule yet, got some flowering nutes i was going to use but not sure when to start,
should i start introducing the nutes now as they are showing signs of discolouring, i also heard tht autoflowers are kinna prone to getting yellowing leaves coz of a calcium deficiency in the genes or somthing or nitrogen not quite sure but because the leaves are curling i am getting pretty concerned,
Picss should be attached any hellpp is veeerry apreciatedd.

Hey thanks for the quick responce
Really i thot it would have been under watering :O the soil seems pretty dry dont get me wrong it is kind of still damp,
what would you recomend as a kind of watering schedule, bit of a newb lol
Why don't you check out my 'seed thread' on my signature below
sweet al check it out thanks for the help, just avoided a potential major meltdown lol
you water when the soil is no longer moist. there's no schedule to follow
any nutes at all at this stage will show symptoms like what you have
could also be overwatering
great tip man cheers, the soil doesnt have any nutes in it im sure, must be overwatering gonnah leev them for a couple of days see if theirs any improvement on its condition
Definitely do not fertilize until you have to move to a bigger pot. Fertilizing that young only stunts root growth. You want the roots to seek out more nutrients and therefore grow a huge root system
What kind of light are you using and how far from the top of the plant is it? Also what is the lighting schedule? Temp/humidity as well?

hey man, sory for the late reply
im using 1 65w cfl n 2 11w just now then moving it to a 250w hps,
My set ups still pretty budget and growing i still need to pick up a thermometer, lolnoob shit,
bogth the 11w are 4 inch away from top and the 65w is about4 n a half 5 away. the schedules 12/12 as there autos but ive been giveing them about 13 on
To get the most out of an autoflower plant you need 18 hours of light. They can get 24/7 light and still flower, but really anything over 18hours you aren't gonna notice a substantial increase in harvest weight. 12 hours is not enough light, especially for the first few weeks of growth.....although they still will flower with 12/12 light you will get a much smaller yield than compared to 18/6 light schedule. Autoflowering strains are not photoperiod dependent like normal plants, therefore will flowering under pretty much any light cycle you give them
