So here goes, my little ultimate is at 3 and a bit weeks old and I thought I'd let you guys tag along for the rest of the ride!
She's in a 2×5×7 tent under a meizhi 300w led, also getting a little light from the chinese 600w that is vegging a cheese plant and a sweet seeds cream manderine in the same tent.
She's in 10L of biobizz all mix soil, wish I had gone bigger now but what's done is done..
Havnt given nutes yet as the soil contains plenty for the 1st couple weeks but will soon be starting with biobizz BLOOM

I've seen reports of these autos getting HUGE but that's with much better lighting than I have available, also growing experience I don't have haha!

Update: day 29

She's turning Into a happy looking little shrub :) the lst seems to be doing the job letting the branches keep up with the head!
Hmshe was showing some heat stress so I've finally installed some extraction and we'll see if that helps.

Now the real reason for the update! She showed her girl parts today :p! They grow up so fast !!20180120_173507.jpg 20180120_232432.jpg

Anyone care to get an early guess a yield?
Things to know..

300w (135+-5w) meizhi led
600w Chinese brandless (no idea true draw) is vegging 2 photos right next to it but I've tilted it towards the auto to help out, meizhi is 18" the brandless 600w is around 25/30" away

10L fabric pot
Biobizz all mix soil
Biobizz nutes (grow, bloom, top max)

20/4 light schedule

Grower with experience of one auto and one photoperiod but have read unbelievably amounts!

Go on have a guess :D

Update: day 33

The stretch begins!

I've taken out the hook I was using for LST to let her grow out a little and see if she's been side on enough to keep more or less even canopy 20180124_221558.jpg20180124_221610.jpg

Just joking, not my very first but not far from it, I acquired a gorilla glue (the bud in my picture) and an auto berry bomb both at around 3 weeks old my brother had started and then had no room for. So I got set up and managed to get them both to harvest! This is my first grow that's been mine from seed :)

I would bring the light closer.
First thing at lights on, I want to see all new leaves with at least 50% being lighter new-grown overnight.
Those skinny new leaves are saying 'we are not getting enough of something'.

Thanks man!
I'm afraid she's a little small for almost 5 weeks but that was expected, quite a small pot about 10L/2 gal and not the best lights, next lot ill be fully prepared! 20 litre pot with some DP think big :D
And as for the lights I ended up stressing the shit out of my last auto in its last few weeks with the light being too close :(

With that kind of lights, I'd try to find the minimum distance I can get away with by dropping them 2 inches every day until I see a negative response or very positive response like reaching for the lights.

I'd really like to avoid negative response as she's an auto and already lacking in space for roots, any stress hits pause on an already short flowering time. They're at 12" right now, I won't raise it untill I see the top looking uncomfortable

20180125_064341.jpg My other girl is looking much healthier :)! 300w viparspectra and a 300w cfl bulb, she seems to like it! Hopefully it can keep up throughout flowering
