Small but perfectly formed plant

    Hey I'm new to this site, so this is my second time growing indoors. First time worked fine, didn't trim or do anything but I noticed the buds at the bottom were pretty small and the buds themselves weren't very dense. Got 2oz altogether from 2 plants and they were white widow auto. This time I have auto again (apart from 1..i think) and 3 of the plants are flowering fine and have been for a few weeks but the other 3 aren't flowering and they are not very tall, one particularly is tiny but perfectly formed. I've read to get them to flower by doing 12/12 so have been doing it. I have been trimming these and got rid of some of the lower branches to all the plants to see if the main buds grow better for it. I'm just wondering if they will ever flower or if there's any point keeping them especially the dwarf one. Any tips send my way!

    I've never grown in coco, but I can assume the coco guys will help you out

    did you buff the coco?
    did you mix 70%coco - 30% perlite?

    best of luck

    Thanks

    so what to do? aim a fan right onto the soil and water with distilled water three times and tap water once.transplant to fabric pots could also help dry out the medium? as far as that blond hair goes though... nobody actually uses the term medium on the streets. hahaha

    OK so do you think they are save able? If I do a bigger pot and use perlite too they can regrow?

    Its not soil mate its coco. You never feed coco just water and absolutely never with distilled water. It fucks the ph and makes wierd shit happen.
    When flushing coco to correct problems you use weak nutes. 200-300ppm at ph 5.7-5.9 for veg. Ph 6.0-6.5 if in bloom.
    If using r/o water then youd need 50-100ppm calmag aswell.
    Cant treat coco like soil man it just doesnt work.

    Dont transplant them. Will most likely stunt them and cuse more damage.
    Also whatever you do, never flip the lights to 12/12 unless they havent started throwing pistils by week 8-9.
    My autos average 49 days before even showing sex. If you go 12/12 and its an auto youll fuck the yield propperly. Weeds still alright but get much more larf and much less buds.
    See folk doing it all the time. No pistils by day 40 so they think its a photo.
    Flip the lights and magically within a day they throw pistils so theyre convinced it was a photo....even though photos generally take at least a week to do that.

    What you should be doing is feeding every day to run off, 400-500ppm max at ph5.7-6.5. The low end for veg and the higher end for bloom.
    All there is to it really. Simples :)

    In the event you do get autos that turn out to be photo youre much better off just keeping it on 18/6 and letting the autos finish then flipping the remaining photos to bloom. Get 10 x the yield doing that compared to all autos on 12/12 with one small photo.

    Sorry I'm referring it to soil it's all new to me, well they've just been in the veg stage and they were planted in January and the other 3 are well into the flowering so maybe there just duds? I've got some new seeds im going to grow next, should I ditch them or try all these things? I feel like there just not going to flower its been so long

    They will definately be photos if theyre that old mate. Best to just let the autos finish though then flip the lights to 12/12 to get em to bloom.

    What's photos? I've been taking them out the tent putting them in darkness then back into light so I don't have to change the light pattern for just now
