Epic fail... So it was one thing after another but long story short I stunted their growth by overwatering in the larger pots, then transplanted to smaller pots and royally fucked them. However, since starting to flower at a ridiculously minuscule size, 2 have suddenly started growing... Shame...

Thanks for the heads up bud.... Will look you up on there!

Just out of curiosity, could you PM me the name of the other forum? Just curious.

Interested to hear how you're getting on. I do have a 300W dual cfl and also a 200W pure blue envirolite and tbh my first auto grow has been a disaster so far after having good results with non autos. Slow growth with my autos came from me overwatering and totally stunted them... Like yours...

After a disastrous first start with my white widow autos I've just switched my soil to john innes no.2 mixed with 50% perlite so interested to hear how you're getting on?

Well for those of you that have been either A, following my journal or B, assisting with this monumental screw up of a grow... Just noticed these little bastards growin out the bottom of 2 of the 4 pots, these are just a couple of them... Most drainage holes had these growing out. Should I just...

Ah... I'm a UK grower and fox farm is not available over here... Looks like everyone recommends our very own b and q john innes no.3 mixed with perlite.... Alternatively the more expensive BioBizz from hydro stores. Have used john innes previously with my Shivas and it did the trick. I was a...

Cheers, thanks!

Really helpful, thanks. Okay will avoid vermiculite in future for autos. I think this is a big problem because now I have four plants in this mix of soil and everytime I water (even a little), so much of it is gettig soaked up and retained.... Not good. A part of me wants to change the soil mix...

Thanks, if you can offer any helpful tips, it would be greatly appreciated. Your soil mix, lighting, set up?

The repot was maybe not a good idea, however, the larger pots despite me thinking I hadn't overwatered were obviously not helping that scenario. Let's remember I have grown some decent plants before, just never tried autos and still not convinced. They're currently running 20/4 and have been for...

Well if you've read my latest journal you'll know the issues I've been having. I just re read my first grow and compared my latest 26 day old ww's against my 4 week old Shivas and I'm just gob smacked how small these WW are after this time period. I'm guilty... I overwatered, think the soil mix...

Okey dokes - so bearing in mind they were suffering... they won't need extra time to recover?

So these are my plants 22 days from planting and after stunting growth with overwatering I'd say they are drying out. The last two nights they've been covered in clear plastic bags (I was advised by someone on here to try this) to increase humidity. It didn't seem to do them any harm. This...

Nah not really sensitive at all... just don't get why you're even here. Dig the dancing legless dude though. lol

Well aren't you amazing... Thought everyone was here to help each other and share ideas. Some of us are in different countries with different climates... Some of us are trying different things with different strains or trying autos instead of photos... Some of us are noobs starting out and some...

Don't feel bad... You're not the only one who's failing here... My first couple of grows were fine but now I've tried autos, I'm screwing it all up... My current grow is an epic fail too. There's a lot of us learning here... Just wanted you to know you weren't alone!

Will I do more damage if I replant them into lighter new soil mix now?

I'm really careful transplanting which is why I never saw it as an issue, however, I received so much advice at the start from ppl more experienced than myself with autos who advised going straight to final size pots and telling me that transplanting is a bad idea as the plants don't recover...

Cheers, wish I'd have started with one or two but wasn't expecting them to fail after having decent results with my photo Shivas previously. Yeah, once I get it right it'll be good... May try just one and if it goes well I can always start the other afterwards I guess... Don't want to waste...
