By the way I have 4 growing
Auto Tropical Viking
2 Fast 2 Vast
Ak 49 Auto

If you had any experience with any of these so I can expect a yield or flavor that would be great too.
2 weeks into my first autoflowers help!!!

I've seen bad foxtailing which thins out your buds as a result of the light being too close. The most common causes are Lighting, Genetics, air circulation, or heat.
My gut is saying light intensity.
Let her finish till she's done. And start some new autos.l as soon as you can The good thing about Autos it's easy to perpetually grow them because they use the same light cycle from seed to finish so you can start some new ones while you're finishing these ones

Just got home and transplanted them into homemade fabric pots each 3 gallons, I cut the bottom of the Dixie cup out and slid them in to the new pot using the same soil. I don't think they felt the transplant at all it was so damn smooth. Now they're back under the lights and hopefully they'll be ok. Thanks for the heads up everyone, the taproot on some of them was pretty close to the bottom so we caught it just in time, ill keep you guys updated if interested, but much thanks again!

It's no problem pal, weed is a way of life for me, not just something I smoke. So I'm glad to hear your organic. I noticed your soil in pic, not good. Autos need loose soil. Purchase these items at local hardware(ace)etc. I bag of perlite, q bag of vermiculite, 1 block of sphagnum Pete moss, worm castings, steamed bone meal and bat guano if you can get it. Along with 2 bags of your regular organic potting soil. Everything is very reasonable price, it all starts in the roots, so soil very important. And you can feed them after 3 weeks. I use general hydroponics brand organic liquid nutrients. Floralicious line is amazing, can never burn plants and taste and smells as nature intended, sweet pungent danky and sticky. Molasses is good too. Pick up general hydroponics liquid additive called Armor SI. I swear by it thru entire grow up to last two weeks. It makes budding sites, long strong branches, and dense buds. Only 17$ for a bottle, 2 bottles will do 4 months of 3 times a week feeding. And nutrients are 27$ a bottle, there is "grow" and "bloom" used separate. Mix that soil good and loose but not too loose, water should drain quickly down but not immediately down, add more soil if it's too loose. I always grab a bag of large perlite to put 2 inches in bottom of 5 gallon pots. Air flow, water drainage and root rot prevented. Or by fox farm ocean mix for 20$ a bag. My mix is half that price. Good luck and keep on smoking. Hit me anytime for advice.

Oh shit as I was sending this you sent that. You are gonna have problems with that soil if you transplanted into straight soil. It's not too late, just remove a softball size clomp around the roots as to not disturb them then fix soil, then place back. Carefully. Or don't and cross your fingers.

I just sent you a message about that haha, ill go to the store and try too see if I can find any of that, I know for a fact they have perilite, but its made by miracle gro does that matter

Not the perlite, it's OK, nothing by miracle grow should ever be used, except perlite. And believe it or not I rinsed mine in a old 5 gallon bucket pot with holes already in bottom, only because it reads that it has something on it. I use it all the time. Vermiculite is not a necessity but I like it , and peet moss is everywhere. Bat guano is great, also collect earthworms and distribute like 10 per 3-5 gallons, help aerate soil, create castings, and generally make a great living organic garden. Ladybugs eat spider mites so if you make use of the sun, helpful tip to gobble them up if they get on your plants. Order them online or just catch them.peace

Alrighty! Ill do that tomorrow and I have plenty ladybugs and worms around my yard, can I put the worms in even when they're seedlings? Its odd they wouldn't some how hurt the roots

Its odd they wouldn't some how hurt the roots[/QUOTE Go for it bro, trust the busy bee. Do only one pot with worms. And see. And they also help you learn if you're over watering because they will jump ship and crawl out the holes on the pots if it's too heavily saturated for too long. If you learn how to hone in your soil to your plants, growing organic is how it's been forever. With modern technology handling the environment inside, making it perfect for them, and organic nutrients and fertilizers to help "Pump dem up" , if everything comes together properly, this is what you can get. I use NO Co2, or chemicals, I have zero pest problems,it's all organic. Only 2-600s hps plus a 1000watt LED.

Ill go ahead and do that, I enjoyed picking your brain, I feel like I learned a lot. Ill definitely keep in contact with you through my grow, and refer to you when I need help. You da man Busy! By the way those look gorgeous

Hey busy I was able to grab peat moss and perlite, how would I go about mixing it into the existing soil now that my seedling is already in it. I know you said scoop around the seedling, but is that it and mix it little by little? The pot is pretty deep being a fabric one.

I think he means scoop out the seedling and the soil surrounding it (so effectively take that Dixie cup you transplanted back out), empty the fabric pot and refill with your new, improved, airy soil mix. Your plants will thank you for it, after they recover!
I've got a severely stunted Tha Shiznit flowering hard right now. Smells so good, but she's like fucking 8" tall, haha! Live and learn

Yeah that's alot easier than what I was doing, when I get home I'll redo it like this haha. Man my poor plants, should've done more research before doing them like that.

I just got home and did it how y'all said. That'll be the last time I go through that mess, hopefully they'll be okay, I'll show pic so you can see one of them has tip of leaves kind of bending down. Should I water them now soil is still pretty dark and moist throughout, but wasn't sure if they would need a drink or not.

Hey brother, everything looks fine, if you didn't break the root, you should be fine. Remember that transplantation should end with a heavy watering event deposited and I always pick up my pots by sides and act like I'm dropping it , careful not to, but just using gravity to settle WY pots. Than I fill more soil on top into gaps and spread surface loose using my finger tips like a tiny rake, even/loose. And return to her spot. I like to transplant before bedtime if you give rest during veg. I veg 24/0, so I place them under my t5s for clones and mothers for a day to recover without the full blast of Mh/hps, wilting leafs will burn and dry out easily if stressed from transplant. Good luck.

Thanks Busy I gave them pretty good watering after transplant, and stakes are in there too let me know when to water. I know I didn't break the roots on any, except one when I took it out the root was alot longer than expected, I felt a ripping but I didn't see anything that looked like I ripped one. When will I know if I did, or would've it died earlier.

It would have let you know by wilting progressively until either death or a period of recovery resulting in loss of growth and eventually harvest(stunting), sometimes worse than others. Let your journey of life essence transference begin. Love them to death. Literally. Lol. Ultimately they end at our hands with a swift clip. And offer up their gift to the world
