Lol should I take this as "that's as big as she's getting"?
Sadly, yes. Sorry. I tried to give you the bad news in as fun a way as I could think, lol. I'm not a fan of autos myself. But it looks like a really healthy plant, so that's a good thing. You're doing something right.
No worries.. this is my first grow so I'm happy to have gotten this far!
That's what I'm saying. It looks good even though it's an auto that does what it wants. Next time grow a photo and you'll be pleased. You have potential.
I've read that soil naturally buffers the pH, but also read conflicting stuff around the web about it. Since this is my first plant, I figured I'd cover all my bases in case I mess this up, it'll be one less thing I can second guess.
Ya, no need to pH water for organic soil for the most part.
What size pot are you in? Usually once the roots hit the bottom of the pot the auto’s will trigger flower. Just part of their survival technique as auto’s come from harsh conditions
5 gallon fabrics. Temps fluctuate between 75-78° and the humidity around 55-65%. 20:4 light schedule. I've tried keeping up with a good VPD based on where it was in germ and early veg (current). One thing I may have messed up on is light height it may have been a tad closer then it should have. I raised the light and adjust the intensity. She's getting around 470 PPFD at the top as of right now. If all of the above is good I can only assume it's genetics? It's from FastBuds.
Well they came through for ya though. That was fast, lol.
Right? Their web address is 2fast4buds.com and they were not joking!
Thanks for the reply! Yea, I actually heard back from someone at FastBuds early this morning and they said their autos typically do this between 20 and 35 days. I wondered if I could do anything leading up to this point to make her grow taller so she went into flower with some height, but honestly there's only so much you could do make it grow an 1 or maybe 2 inches taller in that timeframe. Hoping she grows like you said... Thanks again!
Once the plant is showing that many pistils it will have gone through most of it's stretch phase. It may get slightly larger, but don't expect it to double in size.
That gives me hope for sure! Hard to tell, but it looks like I'm at relatively the same height as your first picture (around 8"?) Although yours does look a lot more bushier cause of the LST you did. I was planning on doing the same, but it started flowering before I could start and I didn't want to stunt her. Yours came out awesome!
My current auto. LST won't stunt a healthy plant. Makes a big difference.
after bending the tallest cola like that, how long did it take to get back healthy - and did you bend it in flowering or in veg? (i guess it depends on plant health and other factors) but is there an average time?
