Lockout or Deficiency?

All auto flowers, five weeks old. 50/50 FFOF/FFHF. I haven’t fed any thing except water ph6.5 when dry and Recharge once at 2 weeks and once at 4 weeks… I haven’t fed them because FFOF is supposed to be hot and not need amendments for 4-5 weeks. i’m assuming it’s a nutrient deficiency because of the lack of nutrients I’ve given them, but you guys know way more than me and I’m hoping to not make anymore mistakes lol !

Feed them, I did something similar, I kept 5 plants in the veggie stage for more than a month, and I’ll keep them at that stage for another while, but I was feeding still a light nutrient for seedlings.
I started feeding them and they are all better, i added some cal mag as well.
Good luck :+1:

What medium are you using?

Soil 50/50 mix of FFOF/FFHF

The yellow leaves ad green lines in the leaves is lack of nutrients. Use an all purpose liquid fertilizer and give them some regularly to stop that happening. Make sure there’s a reasonable amount of potassium in the fertilizer for the flowers.

Thanks everyone ! I ph water before mixing in Recharge. I’m going to be using the Fox Farm trio for soil ?

As a former FF trio user, make sure to feed to liberal run off. The trio is salt heavy and the liberal run off will help with rinsing the salts from the previous feeding away :love_you_gesture:

growing.

Water only after Soil mix KIS Water Only Soil, Perlite, Big-Foot Mycorrhizae,
Beginning “water to runoff”, soon.
Like FFOF, feeding needs be done after 4-5 weeks.
6.2/500 water in
A-Autos Flowering started a solid ten days ago.
plant benders installed.
Feeding 6.5/900 with unsulfured molasses, now.



Good growing to us.

Oh yes, you said that, sorry. It should still be underfed,

Update for everyone. I fed all of them on Monday and they are looking much healthier today … BUT my lack of feeding must have stressed them terrible because I now have 4 healthy Hermies ! 5 weeks wasted . Thank you all again for your help I will never underfeed again

Pictures, before you commit Hari-Kari.
Or Hang them High.
Please.
I stressed mine once with lighting.
Another time, who knows.
Once, i picked the male buds and flowered her fully.
18 male flower pods picked, sure worried me.
Second story-share.
My nutrient locked/deprived soil responded well with flush-out or full watering to include run-off measuring.
