Well well well .... crop king.
Had inconsistent results with their stock ... so that can be an issue.
1. Why such a shallow soil depth ? .... what probably happened is s soon as roots hit bottom , it decided to flower as a stress response, which
DOES HAPPEN.
2. Autos are always over thought .... simple plant seed and run kind of plant. FFOF by itself ( no Nutes added )
CAN GROW AN AUTO FOR WEEKS ALONE on just water.
3. Grow Big is N heavy and not needed during flower ( regardless of chart ) .... it is a common belief that certain bottles need to be run through grow. Tiger bloom is fine , but they salt up your medium ft because soil is already highly charged.....
Their
SOIL ALONE is enough to run autos with nothing else.
They just want you to buy more bottles.
EXAMPLE:
Running straight soil ( no additional Nutes .... none ) ..... ph water 6.3 - 6.5 ( no more no less )
Soil is prebuffered to 6.3 . No BLOODY distilled , RO , Rain water, or unicorn piss. Just common tap water - regular municipality water has cal and mag intact.
If you range the ph and ppm
right from the start...... you will be fine.
No need to check runoff or other bullshit. The key is making sure of what you put in , not what comes out.
FFOF is highly ammended and sometimes slightly burns ... but plant will acclimate to it , ESPECIALLY without adding more Nutes on top of it.
Instead of Nutes , you can do a simple recharge ( if needed ) by top dressing with more soil and simply watering it in.
Always maximize the final grow container with adequate sol space ... because if it doesn’t have the space to root out prolly in its very short veg stage , then this will happen .... always.
And it is a learning experience.... less is more with autos.
Give them room and they will get pretty big ...

whats up everyone, as the title states this is my first grow. I currently have 2 Early Miss Autoflowers going purchased from Crop King seeds. The one I’m curious about is currently 40 days old and she’s budding beautifully but seems to have come to a halt. I’ve done some LST and no nutes for the 1st month and 1/4 Tiger bloom and Grow big with a constant run off of about 6.3-6.8 PH, also adding 5ML MagCal per feeding of 1 gallon. She’s in a 5 gallon fabric pot with FFOF and BioBizz compost soil amendment and a 200w HLG QB288 sitting at 24 inches. The pipe cleaners and sticks were removed cause the they weren’t holding well in the soil after the watering.
