Slowmo's Russian Rocket Fuel Grow

[JustAnotherAntMarching]

Did the roots hit the bottom of the pot?? if they did then you stunted them... IME/O that is the most common mistake with autos...

I would almost guarantee you will triple the yield from these plants when you start the seeds in a 2gal pot...

The largest auto I have grown to date was an Easyryder grown in an 11qt garbage can( just shy of 3gallons) & she yielded about 65g... My last auto pop i tried using 6qt gcan(1 1/2gal) pots for the first time & my highest yielder from 5 plants was 30g... The smallest was just shy of 20 i believe... My first run of RR was in 2gal gcans and they both yielded 40-45g...

You just wanna make sure the pot you use is deep so taproot has plenty of room to grow down bc once it is restricted your plant will really slow vertical growth...

only one or two of them had roots down to the bottom. the next grow will most def be in 3gallon pots from the start. thanks JAAM

ok i just peeked in on the plants ands so far i have 1 confirmed female.

it was both the soil and the size of container that stunted them a bit.you need to water down pro mix a week or atleast 5 days befor planting in it to incubate the ph and also add extra dolimte life when mixing the soil.the trick with these autos is to stunt them as lil as possible cuz there only alive for a set amount of days.you will get the hang of it, its a total live and learn kinda grow

It was not the soil... I grow in promix bx & I have never had an issue and i have never added lime ever....

Its the fact they were in small pots plain and simple...

but when the soil is 5.5ph for a week its gonna get a lil stunted

If the plant was young enough not to need nutes still then the PH would not have effected it. Ph is only important in the regulation of nutrient uptake to the plant.

I never Ph my plants until they are old enough to start nutes.

i check the ph of the soil before i ever planted in it and it wasn't 5.5. my run off has never been lower than 6.28

how big should and auto be in 2 weeks? they're on their second set if five fingure leaves 3 have already been sexed. the others were a little behind the 3 thats alreay been sexed but are catchin up quickly..
