My last batch of autos (Dieselryder x Auto AK x Pehkuruder) sown around a month ago has been really slow, and showing signs of N deficiency. I sowed into 3" square pots as I have been doing recently (without issue till now), and noticed that two out of 17 that are only about 3" tall are already showing male flowers!
I'm pretty sure that it's because the batch of compost I used to mix my soil was poor quality and/or I neglected to mix in another N source. I also had problems with my photos that I potted up at the same time! A few days ago I top dressed with some bat guano and gave them an epsom salts foliar and they have started to look a bit better.
I've since mixed up a new batch of soil using different compost, so I can pot up the autos into their final containers, but I'm having second thoughts. As I see it I have 3 options:
1. Dump the lot.
2. Pot up into smaller than usual containers since if they are not going to grow much more it would be a waste to pot them up into their usual 10l containers.
3. Pot up into their usual 10l containers and hope they end up full size.
Which option would be best?
