Thanks for the input!

Question for you guys, It is approaching harvest time quick (this weekend) yet my plant is not evenly ready. The top colas look prime but there are plenty of other sites that are just not ready yet. How does it work with autos in this respect? If I chop down the colas that are ready, will the...

How do you guys know if the trichomes are ready? I have a jewelers glass and I can see the triches real up close but its almost impossible to tell if they are clear or creamed. I am waiting to see any amber triches and see none yet so I know shes not ready... Is there a trick to identifying...

Hey All. Its about time I begin prepping for harvest (~2 weeks away) 1) Should I flush autos the same way as non-autos? 2) Should I harvest in the dark the same way as non-autos? 3) What should I do about the lower colas (not very developed)....Should I leave them on? Will they continue...

After much back-and-forth, i topped my NL Auto a few weeks ago. It was approaching day 15 ish...No adverse affects on it...And now I have not 1, but 2 tops ;)

Hi all, In keeping up with my prior journal entry, here are the pics from Week 3. Even after all the BS and mis-information I have been vomiting out there ;), she has survived and appears to be loving life. Ill post week 4 pics next Friday.

I was just going off of what the breeder / seed bank mentioned on the specs (Flowering between 7-9 weeks).

I too am seeing 1-2 inches a day of growth. I had my CFL's about 2 - 3 inches above the plant and this morning, it was almost an inch away. I had to move the lights up a bit. All said and done, seems like the stress I put her in by topping, transplanting, and LST, didn't phase her a bit. She...

I think I now understand where the disconnect it. Everything I said was under the impression that the plant WILL flower at 7 weeks regardless of if it is actually ready or not. When you say, "any stress will delay flowering and harvest", The key here is DELAY. If in fact the flowering stage is...

Great insight! It is my understanding that the plant has on average about 6 weeks to veg. If you stress it out, does the stress impact its ability to veg? I thought that the majority of effort goes into fixing whatever stressed the plant in the first place like topping, or transplanting, or any...

Hi all, I wanted to share my experiences and research with any/all of you fellow green thumbs. [Deleted n00b BS]

I had to bite the bullet on the transplant. Being the end of week 3, she has plenty of time to recover and grow. There is no way the plant would survive flowering in that "studio apartment" so i placed her in a 3 gallon "Condo". I researched and researched and researched some more about how to...

Great info. My plan was to add 4 more 26W 2700K bulbs in a few weeks and have all 8 CFL's running at once but I will take your advice and change the light schedule from 18/6 to 24 on until I add the more 2700K CFL's

If transplanting is a big No/No, would the medium the plant is sitting in right now be enough to support he through flowering?

Thanks for the info! I feel a little more at ease :) I topped her last night (end of week 2). I think I will be ok with timing / recovery and the only downside I was able to research is that for autoflowers, the main chola is usually the most dense with bud. Now that i cut the main chola off, I...

Well never mind on my weekend transplant then ;) I will leave her alone. I have 4 26W 6500 (6800 Lumens total) CFL's about 2" above the top of the plant. I have adequate ventaliation and temp is consistently around 75. I have the lights on an 18/6 schedule. My plan was to transplant her into...

I topped her last night so I will monitor her health throughout the week and post pics for week 3 shortly. This weekend I will be transplanting into a larger medium. After the transplant, hopefully there will be no more stress for her.

Hi all, This is my second grow...I killed the first plant a week into flower by suffocating it with too much CO2 :fire: Once again, my wisdom decides to research topping of autoflowers a tad bid late. I had topped my prior grow (non-autoflower) and did the same to this one...Pretty much as...

I will post pictures of it later tonight when I get home. Thanks for your replies so far! If anything, I learned a great deal from this first grow. I will post the pics shortly.

The only other thing I can think of is the heat. I have 8 26w CFM lights (4 on each side of the box with the plant in the middle). The reason I am skeptical that it was heat was because I had the lights on for an entire 12 hour day before I installed ventilation. The plant was just fine and...
