How's my first auto looking?

[BionicΩChronic]

I have purchased a number of grow related supplies on eBay over the last 4 years with no issues. Including light kits and bulbs.

I bought 99% of my shit off eBay as well

Ebay is the shizznit

Ok... seems young for amber, but hey you are there and I am not so you get to see things much better... you are at what, 55 days now? Seems early for even an auto... but then, I have not run an auto yet

Well it was just a couple amber heads I saw not sure the ratio it needs to be, and yes 60 days tomorrow

Sup fellas. Ended up ordering the marshydro reflector 96, it should be in today! I've been using cfls for the whole grow, 67 days now and 36 days of flowering. Will it shock my girls if I switch from cfls to the led for the rest of the grow???

Id just keep it 2inches higher than minimum

I can run 96 5 inches from my plant, no bleach or burn

Ok cool. Just wanted to make sure the light difference won't hurt em

I would run all the lights you have, the new LED and the CFL's... but thats my opinion...

The only time that matters ( autoflowers ) is when it preflowers and its transition to ACTUAL flower. As you have probably seen it had a short veg ( 30 days + or - ) so the time frame of " Seed to Harvest " is a little misleading. Breeder estimates are just that ... An Estimation under OPTIMAL CONDITIONS.

You are correct in timing ACTUAL FLOWERING TIME and should count your weeks from here. I would say this one will go up to week 10 ( 70 days FLOWERING ) but strains will vary. Let her run an it will show you when it is getting done ... Plenty of time to add weight and mass. Give her as much light as possible from now til end.

Ok got the light In gentz. Got it about 20 inches away from canopy, I also have both veg/bloom lights on now, should I leave it in full spectrum or turn on just bloom spectrum? Thanks

I'd stick to Amazon, I had a hps shit the bed after a couple weeks and one was in the mail next day. Might pay a little more in the end but Amazon likes to keep people happy. eBay is good but no where near the customer service of amazon.

What's up guys? Got an update. The first picture is my auto 11 days ago with the CFL, the second picture is the same Auto 11 days later with the LED light. Third photo is my second Auto 11 days ago with CFLs and fourth picture is same auto 11 days later also. Is the change of light changing them to purple? And is that a good thing or bad thing? Is it bleaching? Seems like the plants are liking it

Looks good man
I dont think color effects thc
As long as its not nute def.
But i use hps so i wouldnt know honestly.

A lot of 11's in there, how old are they? Looking good though

How would I know if it's a nute def.

Why does my little plant smell like some good but the one I LST'd don't smell hardly at all, just smells like a plant? Same auto hindu seeds

Probably just different phenotypes (characteristics) of the same strain man, one will just be stankier than the others. I low stress trained the shiiiit outta my blueberry, still stinks and is covered in resin.

If you had a nuterient deficiency, your plant would tell you. Wouldn't overly worry about the pinky/purple colourings, its yellowing/brown leaves you should worry about!!

Looking good man. I know its hard, but try not to overly worry. If they're still growing and looking perky, you're good! And don't harvest too early! Pistils on leaves amber up a lot faster than on the buds, and I'm pretty sure its the buds you want to be smoking! How old are they now dude?

 

[beginner grow]

Thanks man, all makes sense guess I am just worried. Lol the LSTD one 76 days from sprout today. The little one is 55 days from seed.

Nice, how are the trichomes looking now? My MK Ultra Kush Auto is 80 days today, gonna try and push her to 91. I was worried I'd flushed too early, as in another 11 days it'll be 27 days of just water. But, she's showing no cannabalism at all as of yet, still very green so she can clearly take it. At the very worst, I've sacrificed a couple of grams for a very clean smoke, zero chemical taste taint. She's looking very amber on sugar leaves, but still clear and cloudy mix on the buds themselves!

Its so easy to overly worry about your first couple of plants, you have to fight your inner nature and just let them be. My first (Short Stuff Seeds Tha Shiznit) I probably harvested way too early - panicked when I saw some ambers, haha! Slammed her straight into 72 hours of darkness and then chopped, wet trim. Still a beautiful smoke though, kinda menthol bubblegum taste, and she's only gonna get better with her slow cure. Going forward I'll be experimenting with a dry trim, probably a bigger ball ache but if it helps retain surface taste and smell I'm all for that.

Sorry if I ramble, I seem to do that on here! Peace
