" that one is male and starting to smell too." If that one is not killed yet why not sacrifice a small female bud from each auto to some pollen. I have an easy way for you to pollinate with little fear of extra seeds. Then you will have some auto seeds to experiment with for free! Yes you will have to give up some smoke, but you could throw down a bunch of sprouts in a large container and select the vigorous smelly ones for yr keepers next round, and just eliminate the rest. Ever done anything like that? Making seed? Yr grandma sounds old school. Different world back then.

Do you have pics of the non autos? Sex them at 10 sets of leaves or so. (They may show early from stress). Junky genes you say? Where were they from?

Awe man I just trashed it last night! Right now there is only one plant showing pre-flowers. But maybe next time!
No Iâve never bothered with breeding, never been setup for it. But Iâm sure there are more males in there.
Itâs been about a week since transplant and they are half way through their life cycle. Should I add 1/4 strength nutes? And if so which nute, the Grow or base nutes?
Yeah there is one photo left, the bottom true leaves are burnt up and gone now but here is a pic. It may herm due to the lazy light cycle I had at the beginning and the timer screwed up. The rest are AutosâŚ
And notice the discoloration.?.
This one had to go to the hateful Jiffy Pot, ran outta room. And there isnât much special about this strain other than for testing.

Perhaps @ George 1961 could help you with help you with your nutrients? I am by no means an expert regarding the type of growing you are doing currently. But in my my opinion that plant looks hungry. Perhaps The Roots just havenât hit the nutrients yet. How long has it been in its new container? And what kind of soil in that again? I apologize for the questions, but I donât have time to look back through the post today

I just saw that post about the transplant being a week old. Sorry about that. The plant should be established by now, and if your soil mix is something it likes you want to see some growth anytime now. Kind of hard to judge what the plants should be getting right now, as it needs to grow, but it also wants to flower just now. I still think a rounded out fertilizer is in order here. You shook all the old soil off the root ball correct? Maybe a 4 8 2 ferty blend. Others will know better than me tho.

Yeah most of the soil just dropped off and there wasnât a root ball to really speak of.
I went ahead and gave them a mild dose of âBaseâ which is 3-13-26
Only put one bottled water worth of nutes and I can already see on a few that they have perked up a bit.
The âGrowâ is just N plus whatever micro they add in.
Just wondering what the next step should be?
Also itâs almost impossible to weigh out a gram or less. These cheap scales just donât do well at low weights. Had to eye ball it and tried to remember what a powered gram looked like, lol.
BTW It was a Pint of watered nutes for all the plants. I tried to get it at 1/8 of a gram. It calls for 2 grams a gal and there are 8 pints in a gal, I think that is right.?.
Yeah, you definitely got your measurements right. And now hearing the numbers you
are using for your fertilizers, it cannot be organic. Not that itâs wrong or a bad style, but itâs very foreign to me lol. The numbers are very high and all sorts of problems could arise from them that I wouldnât begin to know how to help. I just mix all my organic nutes up w/ castings and perlite, let it cook 30 days in a trashbag, and plant into it, adding only water w some cal mag every watering. Soil microbes ( mycorrizae) are added at planting time. Completely different style. Iâm not very good at fixing problems, because honestly, I donât run into them anymore. I will keep checking in and help when I can

I may have to do that. Problem is our soil is so bad, very sandy and rocky itâs hard as hell to dig.
Last year I did run a soil report on it and itâs fine, PH is ok, it was a little low in one areaâŚBut not by much and the garden store where I buy my supplies at said it wasnât a big deal.
They carry bags of bat g, blood meal, etcâŚI just wouldnât know where to begin.

Go to Home Depot and buy some Fish Fertilizer Alaska brand even Kellogs makes a simple fish/kelp/molasses fertilizer. Itâs like 8 bucks. That will work just fine until 2nd week of flower then switch to the cheap ass Alaska brand Morbloom formula after that until the end.
The biggest problems I see are first, your plants are underwatered and secondly you bought nutes that are for a hydroponic grow aka a soilless mix and you are using soil. The chemical nutrients are a whole different ball of wax than what you are working with. To save this grow⌠go with the easy organic solution I presented.
Next grow, formulate a plan from the start aka pick one or the other⌠Gonna use soil then organic nutrients work best. Gonna use a soilless mix then need phâed water and chemical nutrients.
FYI⌠regarding the soil from the land. You can not use outdoor soil for container plants⌠period. Itâs heavier has different ph requirements and is generally just too heavy for indoor or even outdoor container use.

I would give" two likes" if I could for this post.(meesh) I canât agree more. Simple is better, and cheaper might I add. Switching to this simple style I saved 90% over what I spent previous yrs. As I said earlier@ nova, organics and chemicals donât mix. Either you feed the plant chemical nutes ( anything with high ferty numbers) or the plant takes in organic nutes on its own, or with the help of microbes, if added. If you use chemicals in organics, the salt in the chem ferts make for a horrible environment for any microbes in yr soil, and they will die or go dormant. The plant is in a constant state of limbo, because it keeps switching styles of eating, and its system has to readjust constantly. The two growing styles are completely opposite and not compatable with each other. Say you used miracle grow from end of seedling stage until flower, in miracle grow potting soil. The plant starts to flower, so you add organic flowering ferts. These ferts wonât be effective, as the microbes network needed to deliver this new organic diet to the plant does not exist, due to the previous chemically ( salt) based diet. Yr new organic ferts will just get washed out of the soil. I know it may sound complicated, but it really isnt once you get it. Of course the real answer is more complicated than that, but I hope this helps. Listen to Meeshđ! Try it one way or the other at the very least.

âThey carry bags of g blood meal etcâŚâ are you talking growing outdoors or in? Sorry .or using outdoor soil in a container? To avoid problems donât use local outdoor soil in a container. You probably have a lot of red clay in It down there correct?

It a indoor make-shift grow while Iâm prepping the Grow tent. Ok I will try some of the Fish nutes like @Meesh suggested, Iâve read that many ppl use it.
So are you saying NONE of these over-priced canna nutes are not good to use?
I have this sample pack of nutesâŚWould it hurt to use the Bio Minerals (Top Dressing) which they say is organic or the Root Powder?
Had a old friend take pity on me once he found out about the Grow. Have some shatter/wax, itâs hard most of the time but itâs so humid can be like stiff sticky putty and pain in the arse to deal with.
Could be the strain, very floral and light. Sort of pain to deal with and hitting it every 30 mins, could be the strain. 
Sry about delayed reply!
Sorry late. Put babes in your base mix. Save the amended suff when theyre hardened off even then if your too hot you can drop to a lower # soil. Stick with a water only. So much easier. Of course as everyone said lights too close too young yada yada. Looks good.
Stepping up pots helps roots get established in a size pot water can wick away quicker thus allowing a root system to develop quickly which is the goal. Better to have your pots as your ph buffer. Allows you to dial in simple things like lighting, exhaust ect. Have a good one. Sorry if im a broken record. I tend to avoid white noise. Have a good one.
Nute burned plant. Unfortunately I decided to fertilize for no reason when the plants were healthy. If theyâre green let em rock and keep your soil living.

Thx for the help for sure! Prob going to try the fishy stuff meesh was talking about and use a little base maybe. They seemed to perc up the last time I gave it to them. 
Looks tastyâŚWhat strain is that?

Iâm not saying the nutrients youâre using are garbage by any means. Only that thereâs different styles of growing and the nutrients youâve been buying overlap these Styles. You have to either choose only organic, or only chemical, Otherwise youâre wasting part of your money. . Iâll try to get back with a better answer after work.

Thats just some Early Skunk. @ReikoX threw me a water only recipe. Its perfect. I did 3/4 dosages on the amendments because I didnt have enough and something I use to top dress. Honestly theres been no need to top dress onther than soil compacting a tad. You got it. @Meesh knows her shit. Keep it simple clean and airflowing. You got it. Imo if using hempys of peat pucks cut the mesh bottom just to be sure. Just helps a bit nothing major. Have a blessed one.

Thanks again to everyone, really!
They seem to be doing ok, the little ones that I had planned on pulling are perking up nicely. But now Iâve got a little problem, lolâŚ
I put 4 in prob and they popped yesterday and roots already out the side of the Jiffy cubes.
What sort of Pot would yâall recommend for under 1 gal size? Iâm outta room and got 4 more that will need to go to ground very soon. I didnât see fabric Pots under 1 gal. Iâve seen nursery bags/pots that are smallish but not sure if thatâs what Iâm looking for or not.
I should really google this before posting but going on memory.
Edited to say: I knocked the one with pre-flowers off the shelf while watering. It took a good whack and I could smell it too. It broke a little of the bud site but still intact, looking ok but itâs only been 24hrs.
Lesson learned, donât fuck with plants when high!

ATM Iâm watering when the top 2 inches are dry. Now if I go a inch or more down (below the 2 inch mark) then you can feel the cool soil. There are 8, in 1 gal pots right now and watering a 1 1/2 pint daily.
And it seems that they are getting thirsty, but thatâs a good sign that they are growing.
Last night I used 2 pints for all 8 pots.
I know a lot say to leave them dry for two days then waterâŚ
