Hiya @Ossi Ossi not sure about how to water that medium but that looks like overwatering droop to me and some lockout bruv, what is that coco? Also not sure about the auto thing, but I think that 75 days till finish is just a guidline. I think autos finish out like any other plants, just do it without a photo period.

 

[Ossi Ossi]

G'day @Pbass yea it is Coco and yea i maybe overwatering due to pulling in and out last couple weeks been getting a bit heavy handed on water
What can I do about lockout and what makes you say that?????

 

[bluter]

ph wrong for coco as well ...

 

[bluter]

ph to 5.8. dunno what you are feeding. can't overwater in coco really, so feed often. should be feeding daily at least.

 

[bluter]

feed every time. don't add just water on it's own as well.

 

[Listersmeghead]

I've just had a look at that rocky point/coco, if it's the one being used, it's a very weird medium. It says it's full of slow release nutrients that will feed the plant for 14 MONTHS?????
I think this might have something to do with the problem also, if I've got that correct.

 

[Ossi Ossi]

So ya reckon drop the Nutes and just go PhD water only 5.8

Does the bag the coco came in say it has slow release nutrients in it?
I just want to check it's the one I'm seeing first, before giving you any advice.
If it does have slow release nutes in it, I can see that being one of your problems.

 

[Ossi Ossi]

No added Nutes in cocoa but obviously there is in the Rocky point portion and I missed that when sorting my medium
It's my first auto grow so just gotta keep pushing thru

 

[Listersmeghead]

I think the company that developed that medium designed it to act like a soil, they've added all sorts of stuff to the coco, they've even put in a water retention product that changes the whole way the coco behaves. It's more for domestic gardeners to put big shrubs and bushes in, then put it down the bottom of the garden and forget about it.
Not really what's needed for cannabis.

This creates a parallex, do you treat it like soil or treat it like coco.
If it was straight coco then @bluter gave you the correct advice, but the company have turned this into a more soil based medium.
So I'm gonna give a personal opinion here, I'm gonna go with what my eyes see about the plant. A bit over watered and not getting enough food (maybe lockout from ph)
I would ph it more to 6.2 and let it dry out between watering and see how it responds. That's my personal opinion.

 

[Ossi Ossi]

I agree with you
It's great to work thru something and have a result
Cheers eh

Cheers ossi, maybe when this grows done have a nose around and see if you can find a better soil or coco.
Good luck bud.

Very true dat. I grow autos, and my crops often go past 75 days. My last harvest was at day 89.

 

[Ossi Ossi]

Hi guys
Well just like I thort , I jumped in without doing my homework first on Autos and some key factors,well I must confess I did not do homework and I have missed several key steps along the 75 - 90 days
Here is some comparable pics to the last on DAY 72
Any thorts so far would be awesome

Nice plants for a stealth grow! Other than by smell, it would be hard to recognize some of these as weed!

 

[Ossi Ossi]

I had no idea from the start what I was up against,I actually thort they were quite distorted other than pic 2 which looks yummy.
So I'm yet to decide to try another strain suitable for Ossie in Auto or a Photo
Time will tell
PS was there sarcasm in the nice plant comment or did you mean that lol

Oh, no sarcasm intended! Just a joke. That's the trouble with forums/emails/texts: too easily misunderstood!

 

[Ossi Ossi]

All goods
Can anyone help with some guidance as to how far these can go considering its day 71

My last grow had four plants. Chopped two at Day 81 and the last two at Day 94.

Current grow transitioned to flower and started bloom stretch on Day 39. Right now grow is at Day 63, and I'd estimate they'll be ready in about three weeks.
