Nute burn?

For a future reference ffof is a little hot for seedlings but it's still better then what you had it in. Glad to here that stuff came off nicely though. Don't give it any nutes for a couple weeks that ffof has enough in it to last it that at least.
 
It maybe a little bit for seedlings, lots of people use it though with fine results. You just don’t need to be adding any nutrients in it for awhile. My current grow I placed the rapid rooter in a solo cup of FFOF then transplanted to a 2 gallon of OF then transplanted to a 5 gallon of OF/HF mix (I wanted to be able to give nutes before flip to get a baseline). They are about 6 weeks old I just gave the first nutes this week no signs of deficiency. Just give your plant the time to use up what’s there, I think in general it’s 3-4 weeks. Since I kept planting to fresh soil took a bit longer but she should be fine in there just lay off that wholly mackerel. That being said I think I will be going coco or happy frog in the future just to have a bit more control and a better idea of what’s there nutrient wise.
 
UPDATE: I'm getting extremely frustrated with this bb auto... I have transplanted it in FFOF as recommended, and it is at week 3 seems really small and as you can see by the photos STILL "eating" itself as Waltermelon mentioned... I checked the symptom checker that Deadhead91 left in a response and it looks like a nitrogen deficiency according to that? How can I have a nitrogen deficiency if the soil is fresh as of last week? And why is the plant so dang small? I'm keeping it under 120w cfl light for the time that it is not sitting outside in the sunlight. As far as I can tell the stalk doesn't seem to be getting thicker either. I have looked at some of the grow journals and my 3 week plant looks nothing like what some of theirs look like??? What the heck am I doing wrong?? What would you do with/to this plant? At this rate I don't think I'll get 1\50th of a gram from this plant.

I've read that FFOF can be too 'hot' of a soil mix for autos or young plants. Better to put FFOF at the bottom and something like Happy Frog potting mix as the main soil. I am growing two autos and the breeder recommends 1/3 coco, 1/3 soil and 1/3 perlite for added drainage. I followed that and never transplanted, but put the jiffy pellet in it's final 7gal home. In your case, it may be too stunted and will just flower at that size. Autos are supposedly very sensitive to stress, so that may be what's happening here.
 
It's in a big pot I would give it some time to fill out. Make sure you're not overwatering in that big pot. The roots need time in that bigger pot. Maybe a little longer veg on this one. If you can get that microbe brew @Deadhead mentioned the roots might thank you for it. I would give it a little time to recuperate maybe try exposing it to a little more humid environment. Vegging plants love higher humidity.
 
PS sometimes those plants can come back and be great. Just give it time to veg to the right size before you flip it.
 
People say that about FFOF, I have 6 plants right now that I started in it. Good friend of mine has started in it for years. It’s fine you just do t add any nutes for awhile and start slow when you do.
 
Yeah ffof, has got plenty of good stuff to last at least a month, never had it burn any of mine, I quit using it cause always bugs, an the ph is out of whack, none of that trouble in coco.
Some autos are just plane stunted an never get big, but I don't think yours is stunted, just slow, she should surely get larger, if you got everything right, anyway. Good luck with her.
 
Give it some time you just transplanted it's going to fill it's roots out before it grows visibly I reccomend a microbe brew to get them roots into overdrive, makes food more available to the plant by promoting good bacteria and fungi that break down the nutes for the plant.

On another note soil always takes longer but you get a better product usually.
If you want best of both worlds go with the BushDoctor coco loco for your next grow or go hydro for the fastest yields.
You could need a stronger light or maybe it's not the right spectrum or the right hieght.
 
UPDATE: .Well, she seems to have taken a likening to the FFOF and is taking off pretty good! I have another auto that I sprouted in FFHF and am needing to get it into something bigger, I'm going with the FFHF, COCO and pearlite at 30/30/30 mix for that plant. I have been lightly feeding her with FF grow big a couple of times. Took her a couple of weeks to really start growing. Sunlight as long as I can, then I bring them back inside under the cfl keeping them under 24 hour light. Also have a Jack H that was a freebie that is a regular strain, that is doing real well too! I'm back to work so I'm going to be ordering my tent next week.... Wife is getting tired of looking at my redneck dollar store turkey roaster pan reflector wrapped in tinfoil for my temp grow tent...lol.... But hey! It's working....

Advice on the best way to raise the plant without disturbing the roots and shocking it again, since it is an auto? And it's already been shocked twice...
