Problem in growth

[Rusty]

Hi all,
It's a 1 month old autoflowering and not growing any longer than that!!
Also I could now see the white strains developing!!
I have a strong feeling, something is really bad as it's not growing!!

will it grow any further?
Can anyone here help me please?

Hi Rusty,

Welcome to the forum.

Your auto plant is severely stunted. The pictures are a bit blurry but it looks like the white pistils have already started forming which usually happens after about 3-4 weeks for an auto.
Even If your plant does recover, it will most likely have a very low yield as it's not going to get much bigger than it is now unfortunately. If you've got any more seeds you may consider starting another one if possible.

How are you growing it?
How big is the pot?
Is that soil, or some chunkier sort of coco?
Is there anything else mixed in with the soil/coco?
Have you given it any nutrients? If so, what brand, how much, and how often?
How often do you water with or without nutrients?
Do you check the pH of your water/nutrient mix before watering?
Do you check the pH of the runoff water that comes out the bottom of the pot (if any)?
What sort of lighting are you using, and how far away is it?

Sorry for all the questions, it just gives us a better understanding of what you've been doing so we know where you're going wrong and we can point you in the right directions as quickly as possible.

Hi green thumb,

what exactly does stunned mean here and what could be the cause for it?

I am growing it outdoor in a small pot, this is my first grow basically. I am giving it all the nutrients necessary which comes in a bottle for growth, flower and micro nutrients also organic manure.
i grow in coco and yes I do check the ph level making sure it is between 5.5 to 6. I water it every once in 2 days and nutrients once a week with 0.2ml diluted in water.


Is there anything I could do to make it proper?

Looks overwatered to me. If the soil is not left to dry out enough, the roots fail to get oxygen and die. Limiting water uptake. As oz said, the reduced growth at this stage will severely limit its yeild. Let the soil dry out enough so that its dry a couple inches below the top. Every 2 days sounds excessive for this size of plant.

Thanks a lot for the help.
I will keep that in mind.

Hi rusty, what the others said and....
I think you pot looks small, and has no drainage.
you want the roots to have room and Air.
keep you chin up.

🌱 I have to agree with the others. I think it was stunted because it was overwatered. But at this late age, and already flowering you won't get more than a gram or two off that plant. I'm really sorry, but I highly recommend starting over. Or at least starting another plant and letting this one do its thing in the background. It should be far, far bigger at this age, and when it starts flowering it stops making a lot of new leaves.

I copied this from the website...................... 🌱

These auto-flowering plants were stunted when they were young by heat and overwatering. Now they've already started flowering and are just a few weeks from harvest.



Even though they have a plentiful amount of light, at this point the plants are not going to get any bigger no matter what the grower does because the vegetative stage is over, and the flowering stage is already under way.

Here's a closeup of the middle plant. You can see by the bud development that it's just a few weeks from harvest. Since it's this far into the flowering stage, you know that the plant is not going to get any bigger. The buds will fatten up, but even if they tripled in size, the grower would only get a few grams of bud. The plant just isn't big enough to support bigger yields.
