I have some blueberry auto seeds that I bought awhile back. I germinated 2 and planted them in Miracle grow. I have only transplanted them once. They have both come out female, but they are extremely small. They are 1 1/2 months old. What did I do wrong here? Do not say the soil, as I always use it without issues.

I have included pics of both plants and the security system.

It may b the ph of the water you are using, along with nute
Burn. Sorry, but the soil could be burning them?
Have you added nutes? Mine were going too slow as well,
I someone told me to feed them (dr.Gruber) and that worked.
Yours look burned though.

Actually had another look. I think they may be hungry.
Mine were yellowing and I thought I was overwatering
Them. But they were starving.

ok, won't say soil..... argh.. yes the soil looks ok.. minus perlite or other mediums that enhance O2. What about heat? drain holes? Are you feeding nutes? How did the roots look when transplanting?... You always use MG with out issues? on cannabis or other plants? Though you have been around here for a while, I am sure you know how to get the best advice. Good luck.

Those leaves look like they're burned, but mine did fine in MG soil.
*Note* I did not feed mine anything for the first month, maybe a little longer.

Gotta go along with some bad case of nute burn, of course I agree with most,MG soil is bad but it's your choice.

Probably the soil! LOL. And also, are you growing in cups? That's probably whats wrong.. Get 3 gallon pots for your autos bro.

Thats nute burn, its the soil. Seedlings dont need nutrients at all the first 2 - 3 weeks after sprout. Try starting them off in rockwool its alot easier

Come on bro, not only did he say his plants are a month and a half old.. They're also autos. If you had looked at the pictures you would see they're already budding.

Crappy advice

Seriously, you even spent electricity for this one? You growing skills are probably completely wrong, you also gave us zero informations, nutes,lights,ph,schedule, anything??? it could be also genetics but i doubt that. and try to change your soil

I have to agree with others - A large McDonalds cup is not adequate for a plant past 2 or 3 weeks...

EDIT: About how long the nutes in the mg will last -maybe

Even though I also use MG soil, I do not believe you when you say "don't say soil, as I always use it without issues.", from what I have read, lots of issues arise from over nuting with MG.
The question I have, is if you put them into 6 or 8 inch pots, why did you leave 3-4" at top?
Why not plant them so they are within an inch or so from the top of pot?
That would actually take advantage of the extra pot size.

Lights - 6 100w eq cfls
Nutrients - Just what comes in the soil.
I planted them kind of deep in the cups just in case they stretched. When I was transplanting them the roots were bright white and thick. I have had a plant in a 32oz cup before and she was bigger than the cup! I grow all sorts of plants, including the ones in the pictures. I know cfls aren't sufficient for budding but it is what I have at the moment.

And I have had a plant in a 15 gallon pot twice as big as the pot - A bigger space will give you a bigger plant... but then again I don't grow autos and I think they are only cool if you wanna smoke some while the rest is growing
