thats funny you mention that because im starting to have a gnat problem myself. they dont seem to be hurting my plants yet, but they making home in the soil, which cant end with good results.

Currently I am using Ocean Forest. I think I liked Roots Organic better. My plants seemed to veg faster. Roots comes with a free serving of gnats that will annihilate your plants though. To combat just add an inch of Sand to top layer.

I'm having some newbie trouble with my first autoflower grow. Can anyone help with advice whistle is it so short? It's 6 weeks from Germanation so please any advice?

im getting started growing soon and gonna grow n lights how is the yield on her

My bad, I missed the 70%, no you can't over water ...

But, raising the topic of water caused me to think: Does the OP use tap water? High ppm and/or chloramine (or unaerated chlorine) could cause poor growth.

This is my northern lights auto. It is exactly 6 weeks old today. Week 1-4 vegged, week 5 pre-flower, now 1 full week into flower. I snapped this picture today while I was cleaning out grow space. I use two fixtures that hold (4) 24w T5HO each (total of 8 bulbs, alternating 4 6500k and 4 3000k), and a single 2700 lumen cfl. She's almost 3 ft tall. I keep her on a 18/6 light schedule.

THANK YOU! for the view and nice structure.
Everybody wants to see tops but the rest of the
plant gets ignored.
By the way, has anybody tried fabric pots with
autos they're great for preventing circle root.

I haven't heard anyone ask the op about ph. In fact I have a question myself. If the op is using 25 perlite would that still be considered a soil grow? Would the ph still be best at 6 to 7. Anyhow Reo hope you straighten things out. Good luck...

If other environmental factors are good (light, heat, humidity, water quality), it seems like nutrient deficiency (either from insufficient food or locked out by ph) would cause yellow leaves by this point, not just stunted growth.

That's what's odd to me. Maybe the color balance of the photos is hiding it. It seems like something environmental is holding the plant back from growing (needing nutes).

Sorry I meant to say only 25 percent soil how does that affect ph demands.

Makes sense AZ2000. Maybe the pics can give us a better reading. Im only finishing up my second grow and these forums at rollitup are badazz. Helped me through both grows even though I made a gazillion mistakes. lol...Thanks everyone.
