They get all they need. Great organic soil loaded with nutrients and BAC Organics every few days but always end up flowering real quick and a stunted little plant that might yield a 1/4 oz maybe. Done about 6 so far and all the same. Different genetics and different breeders.. same same..
Nothing like u see on YouTube with Mr Canucks grows etc.
Wonder what I am doing wrong?
Cheers

I have only grown auto's a couple of times in soil and couldn't get much out of them either..
Pretty sure Cunuck grows in Coco which is super light and fluffy for the roots, hold loads of oxygen and drains better than soil.
Plants can grow much faster and bigger in coco especially if you are dialed in on how to use it Soil can be very unforgiving if the plants find a problem with it. With Auto's everything has to be spot on from day 1 if you want it to reach its potential.
Since you have tried many times and the same has happened it's obvious you need to change medium, loaded with Nutrients every few days also sounds like a lot to me. A good soil does not need loading with nutrient every few especially if the plant is not growing between feeds.
Obviously, do not do the same thing again.. Too much nutes and or poor medium.
For foolproof organic get some Canna Terra and a bottle of Thrive. Thank me later

Basic Cootes type mix.
so it "can" be done cos I did it once.
Dunno if I could do it again but I reckon I could as a proper growing soil just gets better with every run if looked after appropriately.
All about the first 30 with an auto.
Starts with the soil moisture in the pot at the start.
You just need less than you think.
Soak 8-12hr then into soil whether cracked or not.
I set it up so that they will only need a spray if they don't pop fast.
Generally don't water at all for 3-7 days depending hats going on up top.
I think the grow at same speed as a photo for first 2 weeks, then most decent autos will overtake most photos.
At 30 days I feel you know what Ur gonna get at they should near flowering then.
Soil speed can be beyond what I even thought previously.
I have done a lot of work however.

Get ureself some Canna Terra [soiless medium],soak ure seeds 4 18hrs then into ziplock bags until sm taproot forms, soz mate paper towels help
Plant straight in Terra 3-5 ml deep, use a spray bottle, gush,gush,coupla pumps with plain water
Slowly bring ure E.C up to 0.8 over 3 weeks-4 weeks, less is best
Once they've popped don't spray water around stem, coupla inches away
Look up low stress training once 3-4 nodes have grown and remember u gotta do all this before 4-5 week of growth or when flowers appear
Probs better off starting with photos, less stressfull
As previously mentioned, autos mostly not a fan of strong nutes so just keep an eye on leaf tips 4 yellowing ect
Absolutely no reason u can't smash out 8-12 oz's on an average grow with a bit of knowledge and practice. Good luck buddy

An overnight soak speeds the germination of all kinds of seeds.
Here (wayofleaf.com) advised to soak seeds overnight (7-8 hrs). One tablespoon of seeds enough for a qt of "rinse"/gallon diluted.
Subsequently, once you see sprouting tips emerge, rinse the sprouts fairly vigorous and pour off that "rinse" which use as a soil drench. Get 3 or 4 rinses.
