prob the start of nute burn did you start the seed in that soil its a lil strong for plants that small i strated some in happy frog and it burned the shit out of them there happy and healthy now

Too early to fertilize. They already have to deal with the nutrient charge in your soil mixture which is probably slowing their growth. Also, one litre per plant every three days? Do they look like they could drink that much? Did you plant them in the 5 gal. pots already? You get faster growth from seedlings and better control over their watering if you start in a small container and repot when they get some roots and a few sets of leaves.

Oh yeah, get a camera that can focus on your subject.

there autos thats why he started in a big pot

thanks for the advice, i realize its a lot of water its those damn big pots, in the future i plan to start in smaller ones thanks,p.s camera is next on the list and i agree.

Maybe your camera has a Macro switch or button? Macro is for close ups. I started an auto in a 5 gallon bucket once. I watered about 1 cup of water right at the base of the plant upping it as the plant got bigger.
Good luck on your plants

Hey thanks for your advice man I appreciate it I'm going to slow way down on the water intake and I'm going to see how these 5 gallon buckets go.

Ah. I have never grown autos. That makes sense though. Isn't five gallons kind of large for such a plant though? How much root mass can an auto generate before its life cycle is done?

this is the auto I grew. the bucket was pretty full of roots lol. 3 of the freebies I have coming are autos.I'll start them in 4 inch pots for a week or 2 then transplant them into the big buckets. I have heard they grow bigger if the tap root has room to grow.
