alrighty man well this is whats happenin i am now seeing everyone who knows autoflowers says stay away from nervana autos. i ordered some seeds one of them happen to to from nirvana and its a bubblicous. needless to say this plant is enormus and i forced flowering . its been flowering about 2 to 3 weeks now and i am seeing bud but as a first time grower i am anxcious and confused. i am wondering if A this plant isnt a autoflower, B if i am going to get some big buds out of it becuase it is budded litterally everywhere from top to bottom but of course the top is getting bigger and starting to really get sugary but the bottom it kinda weak. i am using tiger bloom for the bud growth and other than that over 500 watts of cfl . running a 18/6 light cycle. so honestly just want to know if this is going to turn out epic or weak. and if the bottom buds are useless should i clip them and smoke them so the plant focuses of the top parts or should i leave them. my pictures arnt that great but ill post a bunch so everyone can see. i appriecate the input guys this is my first soon to be successful plant and my second time growing. an absolute learning experiance but everyone on here has helped me alot. thanks guys!View attachment 2221218View attachment 2221233View attachment 2221234View attachment 2221235View attachment 2221236View attachment 2221237View attachment 2221238View attachment 2221239View attachment 2221240View attachment 2221219View attachment 2221220View attachment 2221221View attachment 2221222View attachment 2221223View attachment 2221224View attachment 2221225View attachment 2221226View attachment 2221227View attachment 2221228View attachment 2221229View attachment 2221230View attachment 2221231View attachment 2221232

If there are very few trichomes you wont get high. It might be a bit of a head change but you wont get stoned. Your plants look like they havent been flowering long.

If you really want to know just take a little and pop it in your pipe.

Your plants look good. Just let them grow and be good to them. If You are patient enough you will have that epic dro.

I would bend her a little, change light to 12/12 and increase the bloom. Dont use anymore grow and increase your water cycle to bulk her up a bit. I would say increase water 20 percent from what you are doing now. She looks good just a little skinny is all but no problem with that but with all those buds why have you not switched to 12/12

Smoking any part of the plant with crystals will get you high...but, if it is too early it will sometimes give you a wicked headache...as well as not reaching it's full potential...

ok so your saying to go to 12/12 and try to increase plant size ? i mean i really dont want her to grow to much more lol shes gonna be taking over my closet but either way i had her on a 12/12 but it was sopost to be an autoflower and they say to change it after she shows flower becuase tech she is sopost to flower all day kinda deal. but do you think i should just treat her like a reg plant ?? and with that being said if so does this mean she is going to take another two months to finish lol. god dam nervina seeds straight lieing to me hahaha. ill do what ever it takes to make sure my girl is healthy and bomb. i wont complain if i get more bud out of her than i would out of an auto flower thats for sure. i am using the soft white i beleive becuase it says that that gives off the light spectrum for flower and not growth all tho i do have one reg flurecent in there as well just becuase.

It stretched on you because of the lighting.using cfl's you should have them just a couple inches away from the top.as for the trichomes you might not see a big production till last couple weeks of bud to early to be worried about that.during veg you want to run a high kelvin rating around 5,000+ for budding you want a lower rating around 2600 kelvin.the kelvin is your light color .high= blue, low= red

BULLSHIT. First you said you forced flower, which is 12/12 at will. Then you say it's on 18/6. Let me first address the obvious...you forced flowered an auto. Makes no sense. SECOND, looking at the pictures, there are way too many bud sites and too thick of a stem, and way too tall for this thing to be an auto at such an early stage...BUT THEN AGAIN, you don't say how old the plant is! You state it's been in flower 2-3 weeks. OK, so how old is it from seed? Your lights and nutes will not make an auto 6 foot. But then again, you said you "forced flower."

Thirdly... you are either an idiot or a liar.

and I feel like most of your issue is improper use of CFLs...too far away and not enough of them...I know it is your first time...but that same plant should be only 1-2 ft max for the number of nodes you have which is alright I guess, but next go about train the plants to add bud sites and keep the plants shorter with smaller node spacing...add more cfls and put them closer to the plants. The plant looks pretty healthy except for the stretched appearance...

Seriously dude? I've worked with so many autos it's not even funny. An auto will NOT stretch to six feet on weak lights. End of discussion.

take it easy buddy im looking for help not critisism. its an auto flower feminized nervina seed. the plant is almost 2 months old. after the first month of veg on 24-0 i switched it to 12/12 . at this point the plant was 2-3 feet tall. its been showing flowers for 2-3 weeks like i said. im not bragging about a 6 foot autoflower its clearly not right i am trying to figure out what i should do with it the way it is now. thanks

and i have tried to move the cfls closer they start to burn the tips of the fan leaves and i cant figure out away to get a light back to the top of the plant due to the way it has grown. i have done my research and alot of people say the bubblicous nirvana auto seeds have been know to fuck up

Well it obviously didn't autoflower, so I would just treat it like a regular plant I think...some autos just don't auto...I have only tried growing autos once...and they all did what they were supposed to...I just wasn't all that impressed...can get better results with 12/12 from seed and a regular photo seed...I mean small plants are nice, but not when they are as small as my autos turned out...Short stuff seeds Blue Himalayan...super tiny plants...

Okay first, I've only heard good things about nirvana, Not that i've looked much but still.

Second, I would say next time look into LSTing (Low Stress Training) or Supercropping, I personally LST and just pulled a little over 3 ounces off a plant under 4 x 24 T5 HO.

The plant it self was about a foot wide and a foot and a half long, about 5 inches from the top of the pot, 7-8 from the soil. I had over 30 budsites. Done the same with CFLS before i had my T5.

I would defiantly look into LST, I lst literally up until the week i harvest..

This early you could always pull the top down, Tie a string onto the stem and pull it down till your comfortable with it and anchor the string to the pot/ground somehow.
With CFLS you need to keep the plant as close to the bulb as possible because CFL cannot penetrate like HID, I personally made a little cage for my cfls, I'd take some little cage wire stuff, Just very small square chicken wire shit, and would cover the bulb and attact at the ballast, I'd leave about 1/4-1/2 inch ebtween the bulb and cage then get the plant as class as possible never had a problem with burning till my fans went out.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD VENTILATION. Although CFLS dont produce much heat they will and can easily burn your plants if they are too close and its too hot. I like to keep a PC fan or two blowing on my bulbs.

Need any help? Pm me, Good luck, Happy Growing, Stay high!

if you bought it from NERVANA i doubt thats a legitimate source... But NIRVANA's auto flowers will not stretch 6 feet. NOT EVEN THE JOCK HORROR AUTO FLOWER, which is predominantly sativa!

Most auto flowers WHOLE life span is 2 months... So its not an auto flower... you obviously mixed up your seeds or some how nirvana sent you a different seed on accident, which would probably be a 1 out of a million... If i were you I would contact nirvana and tell them... If you are not doubtful you probably would of contacted them already... So you probably mixed up the seeds...

I also feed if you really bought from a website called nirvanashop, or bought there seeds through attitude, then you would know there name and not call them nervana countless times... the website even tells you it is wrong when you type it in...

You obviously bought from a fraud vendor, or you are just trying to bash nirvana because you accidentally mixed up your seeds.
