New Auto Flower Grow

[Bmoney]

ok... I think what I see is the beginning stages of a potassium deficiency. You have plenty of nitrogen, maybe a little too much. Banana peel juice is good to add this potassium, or Terpinator or some other potash based nute would be good too. I would keep the pH down around the low end of the range, near 6.2.... coming in at 6.6 with the fast upward drift of the Happy Frog could result with being out of the range too quickly... but the 5-5-5 could slow that down a bit, I just don't know. Experiment, but I suspect the higher pH will make things worse, so be ready to go back the other direction if you notice that.

things have taken a turn for the worst i dont know what is going on

I gave you two scenarios to follow in the above advice... what exactly have you done?

I kept the ph low and i just gave them some banana peel juice today altho i didn't know if i should ph it, i have some more juice brewing im gonna give it to them in a few days

Give it some time... nothing happens instantly. Wait at least 48 hours to see the effect of what you do, and yes, you should pH adjust every fluid that hits your soil. You adjusted to 6.2? Also, I am liking the color of those leaves actually... I think the lower pH is helping a lot.

Even ph compost tea? Wouldn't that kill the microbes?

no, it would be silly to pH adjust a compost tea...
But here is the deal... you are not in a mineralized soil... you are in Happy Frog amended with nothing more than some 5-5-5. Your deficiencies are showing you that the 5-5-5 has run out, and now you are going to need to feed the plants. Compost teas are meant to grow microbes, not feed the plants. I see no choice in the matter... you are going to need to start feeding your plants. At that point, depending on the nute line you pick, you are most likely going to have to adjust pH. Microbes alone are not going to do it for you on this grow... there is nothing in there for them to process and feed to the plant.

After trans planting and amending wit some 5.8.4, bat guano, and chicken poop. My seedlings are lookin alot healthier! I'm using happy frog soil with some pit-moss at a 2-1 ratio. My female mother at first looked like she loved the transplant, even gave it a topping.
She eventually sprouted 2 nice new bud sites but over night she started looking sad! so today i gave her a little more water around the edge of the pot so the roots don't stay stagnated. My autos are looking nice 2 weeks into flower, and they could have been bigger but i have to find away to keep control if my environment. in the first month or so the RH was raising and dropping drastically over night and i don't think my watering technique is good gotta work on that also

Just to clarify i used the 5.8.4 on my autos that are in flower!

Things are looking a lot better added some bat guano and chicken poop to my amendment along with the 5.5.5. to my photo plants give them a little boost the female is still showing some deficiencies but it is growing got a few new tops popping out and my little ones are just loving their new pots as for my Autos i think my oldest is stunted a little as it looks like she wont be putting on that much weight but my other two autos look like they will be some heavy yielders

Starting to see some type of stress being caused i thought its because they needed Some water because just 2 days ago they couldn't be more happier cant quite put my finger on this one

 

[Bmoney]

I think the stress was due to lack of water plus they would flop in less than 2 days so i think it was time for pot change and gave them a good water will see how they recover starting to see some pre flower signs anybody wanna guess if its male or female

I lost you for a little. Got caught back up. Happy to see they’re doing well. I’m no guru, but looks like those should be shooting pistils soon. Cheers!!!

 

[Bmoney]

I hope so!!

Here is a updated pict still think it will shoot pistils?

 

[Jdeck]

Had to tell with the pics. I’ve only seen a few males this summer. I’ve never seen hermies, even though my first grow was all seeded up. I’d let them go longer before getting nervous.

@Emilya wondering what do u think about these Pre flower picts

 

[Bmoney]

Everything is still going ok starting to see a little problem with one of the girls some leaves are twisting and they are super dark im guessing thats nitrogen toxicity altho j can be wrong but if anyone has any knowledge towards this or any idea how to fix feel free to chime in
