Hello people of riu, need some assistance asap. This is not my 1st grow, my first couple of grows actually went pretty well with some minor problems due to noob mistakes but the end result was decent. This one however is bugging me because it started better than any of the previous ones, I mean the plant was growing rapidly and thriving on anything I fed her, responded well to lst, had multiple branches growing etc. But problems started around day 60 after transplant (which needed to be done although I know autos arent supposed to be transplanted but it was a necessity). She started wilting and the leaves curled upward turning yellow. Now I've been feeding her AN grow and bloom the same as I did my last one but this time added molasses, which before the transplant she had no problems with but now she is all curly and dying right when shes supposed to get fat and smelly. Can someone please give me some insight on what have i done wrong/what can it be done to at least save what can be saved? Is it the transolant shock, influence of molasses or something else completely?

Wouldn't pull all those leaves off next time either. Leaves are a real necessity and lifeline. Leaves help grow big buds and also the leaves will generally take the fall before the flower does. A good amount of leaves might have prevented so much damage. (notice the leaves are burnt the most)
Think of leaves as leaves because we leave them alone, not because they fall from a tree.

Sorry about your plant, hurts when this sort of thing happens.
Good learning experience as already mentioned above.

Aww man! I hate when that happens. How long did that AUTO veg for?

I prefer growing from FEM seeds. My idea of AUTO's is someone gathering your $$ more frequently.

I know it seems like i pulled those leaves but no, they actually fell off and some of them curled in. I didnt touch them at all, my nutes burned them :(
It is auto amnesia xxl from dinafem seeds and although this was a failure i can say it was my and only my mistake. The genetics are awesome, before the burn she grew like crazy. Vegged for like 3 weeks then boom, straight to flowering... Thought this was gonna be my best yield for sure... :(

Autos hate extensive training / hubbing / heavy defol , etc.

Autos are simple plant and grow with some LST thrown in to shape .... it has a short veg to preflower stage and will not respond well to heavy handed training. It stunted and shows the results of stress.
That plant could easily been 3 times the size and overall bud set. This is all from grower error ... nothing else.

No bottled nute on the planet will correct this plant.
Cull it and start over . Just plant in a good soil , dont try fancy shit on it or complicated feeds .

One of the few auto's I've grown was the Auto Amnesia XXL from Dinafem. Looks like you did a bunch of training with that plant. You really should just let auto's grow on their own and you should also plant them in the final container from the start. That plant looks rather stunted besides the nute burn. Auto's don't have time to recover so if you're going to top and train you should be growing photoperiod plants.

All you can do now is get back in the race and start running. You don't have to win the race but you want to finish. Unfortunately you didn't finish this particular race. :(
