White Widow Autos not doing good.

I got a 5 pack of White Widow Auto from CKS. Out of 5 seeds only 2 popped. I think it's a bunk strain.
In the pic they are in the cups. This is day 19 veg, it's been a slow grow to this point. I set them up here for the pic. Next to them are Amnesia Haze Auto, they were started at the same time, and are also on day 19.
The AHA graduated out of the seeder and into the net pots, but the WWA never did. The other day I put them in coco, because clones were going into the seeder.
With 37 days left they aren't looking good. I might just colloidal silver them and try again to see if it is the strain.Untitled.jpg
I'm also not that impressed with the AHA really, for day 19.

They have been in a 2" net pot in aero. The water has been ro, 150 ppm ph 6.0. Two days ago they went in coco/30% perlite. I used plain ro water ph'd to 6 to expand the coco brick, and haven't watered since.

The AHA on the other hand is now at 1,000 ppm and ph 6.0

Most likely your coco needed to be rinsed really well and buffered with a feed solution before you planted in it. If all the expanded coco has had through it is RO water, there is basically nothing in your medium to feed your plants. Couple this with you taking them from an Aero growing environment to a coco environment and you're just asking for your girls to slow down. I'd stick to your guns, or in this case the coco and give them a fair shake at growing. You may be surprised at what you get. For sure though, I'd start feeding your girls in coco ASAP and I'd look into being sure you have plenty of Ca and Mg in your feed.

1000 ppm is way too much, especially for an auto! I don't see any deficiencies, it's likely just the seed. It took me 2 years to realize that auto's are a complete waste of time, just my opinion! No rhyme or reason to how they grow, just finished 2 rounds of 2 strains from mephisto, all in same environment and medium and feeds and the difference between the 5 4-assed monkeys and 4 alien triangles were astonishing! From one giving me 2 oz's to the smallest monkey giving me 12 grams! lol alien triangle as well, 1 with almost 2 oz's, the other was 1, and the other two were half each lol. All grew healthy, shiny green leaves, but the end result was way too much, and all auto's have been that way with me, but the 4 photo's i did, all were comparable, all grew as i expected. Auto's are good to start with or throw in on the side, but i learnt not to focus my main grow on auto's ever again! lol The last one i just finished, the 6 plants gave me 5 oz's lol..that's absurd, my 2 photo's double that and it takes 2-3 weeks longer overall to grow out! This grow, my 6 regular's will for sure produce around 20 zips!

I'm not a fan either. Got these to get some quick smoke because I was starting a perpetual harvest from seed. I figured I could get 2 harvests in a few weeks apart before my photos were ready for flower.
I totally agree about the 1000ppm. I started a new product line I've never tried before. I came in at 1/3 power, got deficiencies as expected so I started ramping it up slowly. I was going to stop when I started to see burn, flush and back it off. I got up to 1000 and stopped because going past that is nuts at this stage. I've been at 1000 for a week now.
What are you running for regulars?

I went with what i knew worked in the past very well, i was tired of 'experimenting' with autos lol..have 3 moneymakers from strain hunters and 3 critical kush from barney's, 7th week of veg started yesterday, going to flower tmr or saturday, was needing to get some supplies to expand the flower area before flipping. Today, 2 more moneymakers broke soil and 3 peyote critical's (1st time doing that but loved critical and it's a cross)..will veg for 5 weeks and add to other 6. Making this one bigger as i want to take a month or two off come mid january to end of february, too damn cold! lol
