This is a auto #1 it's just about 3 weeks old. It sits just about 3 inches high. My question is it to short?Should I lst it or let it ride. I have 6 26w 6500k on it. Temps 73 to 83. Lights run 22/2. It has new grow between every leaf. Just started feeding it this week. Had a bit of heat shock when I had it in a dwc so it stunned it and killed the first set of leafs. It looks a lot happier now.

This is just my first real grow :). I thank you for all the info. Right now it's about 2 inches from lights. Should it be a bit lower? It's not to hot where it sits now. Soil is Fox farm ocean and food is fox farm also. Waiting on some light extenders so I can bring down two of them to each side of the plant.

Auto strains are amazing, they will putt putt putt, then out of nowhere grows like a weed! Its only 3 weeks old, most of its time is focusing on root development. Right now its just a baby, doing anything now could shock it, effecting your yield and finishing time. I would wait for it to start growing more aggressive like in week 5 or so before doing any training. Autos usually root slowly for 3-5 weeks then grow steady for 2-3 more weeks before it gets its signal to flower, then you'll see amazing growth just like you put it on 12/12!

Autos are fun plants to grow! bongsmilie

I personaly wouldn't use LST on an auto unless height is a real concern, most only get to about 2-3 feet tall anyways. Id just let it grow on its own

I had a NL auto that stayed about 6 inches tall until it started flowering, then it got just barely over a foot and gave me an ounce =D

I was looking at them. If I can ever get my hands in them I might get them next. I have about 7 seed Togo after this.
