Ok .... those MIMIC Spider farmer SF 1000 models and they also only pull 100 watts each. About 200 watts give or take with driver losses and such.

Yea I mean I think they should put out enough light to grow a decent plant ... I think I got locked out & stressed her out ... wouldn’t be the 1st female I stressed out

Autos are kind of fickle - some blast thru its short veg some are literally “ late bloomers “ and won’t get their final size until it hits preflower stretch . However ANY kind of stress ( wonky feeds , excess flush , overwatering , etc. ) can impact autos upfront.

Autos are kind of easy - they need very little up front - SIMPLE feed requirements ( either from host medium / simple 2 part nute or dry fertilizer top dressed ). Sure some “ breeders “ sling first gen seeds from breeding. But they ONLY require about 90 days of average life.

I grow more autos than i care to mention and if you really pull back on high ppm feeds you will find these are just plug and play plants. Your host Medium ( if soil ) will FEED that plant alone for weeks without much else. Most good ammended soils have enough nutes precharged in it to run on just water. I use standard tap at ph 6.5 and let it do its thing ... if soil looks to start exhausting, i just TOP DRESS MORE SOIL ON TOP and just water in .... stupid simple.

Or you can ANY good dry fertilizer like Megacrop , Dr. Earth ( homegrown/ flower girl ) , Gaia Green , Recipe 420 Recharge mix , Maxibloom ( in water ) , or any good 4-4-4 general purpose.

Also .... Breeders lie - ACTUAL harvest time with autos are based on your own grow , your own environment/ skill . Those harvest times listed are from strain testing and from “ optimal “ conditions.
With autos they get done when they get done.

Great info man... I think I did too much with these & idk how but they got locked out & it drove up the ppm outrageously ... I’m hoping the flush will let them rebound before it’s too late ... next set I’ll just do less

In theory I should be entering flower this week & it recommending to move it down to 12-16 ... Soooooo idk if I should just scrap these 2 bc I’m running outta time ... seed breeder says 8weeks flat from soil to harvest ... these autos are tricky for being “maintenance free”

That would produce nothing if that flowers

I raised the light but it was a ppm lock out that stunted the growth.. they’re back to growing in a healthy direction... once they bud up, I’ll post some pics ... also give a final timeline from seed to harvest ... a lot of ppl are suggesting the autos may run longer than originally anticipating... so ig we’ll see !
Thanks

At this point, there is not much to lose, finish her out. it may not be what you were hoping for but, you gained experience. Best of luck...
