auto assassin at 1 week first grow

damonb · Oct 11, 2011

i got told nt long ago it doesnt need to be yet but if i do it now will it grow faster seem to be growing slowly at the min

When you transplant the plant will basically stop growing for a short period. It is going to happen no matter when you transplant though. Basically the shock of being pulled out of the ground(the pot) and put somewhere else takes a toll on the plant but it will recover and growth will start again. If you plant looks like crap for a little while after transplanting don't be worried it will spring back. Its ultimately up to you, I personally wait till flower begins(mid week 3) because I can not afford the extra space/soil that transplanting males would require. To each his own though, transplanting can be a little scary!

thanks man this is my trial run to see if i can do it just need to see if its gunna be a male or a female ill be dissapointed if its a male but on the other hand least ive managed to grow it how long till it will show sex

Yea and you can always use males to harvest pollen or practice grow techniques like LST or topping etc. They should start showing signs around the middle of week 3 or 4. I think the first couple of mine showed beginning of week 3 with the last one finally showing around the end of week 3 give or take a couple of days.
So for you I would say you will probably know by this weekend maybe a little longer.

thanks for reply mate ill keep post on here when i found out

troutie · Oct 12, 2011

hmmmmm ........ i would transplant as soon as i think its large enough to handle, and i've not had one die on me yet, but i understand what SJ is saying about sexing first... hadn't thought about that before... guess it makes sense

damonb · Oct 15, 2011

thanks mate if this is a male im gunna just buy fermitized would be easier but im picking good tips and tricks up as i go along

troutie · Oct 15, 2011

its all good fun and like you say i have learnt much from mis-adventure.... i tryed bagseed this year with 6/10 female... lost much to mites and still ended up happy enough... i got stacks of fem seeds now... but no where to grow them currently ... due to my uncontrolable stealth pc nightmare and lack of space for my new 4 ft tent setup, but soon i'll be rocking and slightly better informed this time

damonb · Oct 16, 2011

i tryed bag seeds not long ago but i backed out big plants are a little to much for me to handle at the min going to grow a few short stuff then go for the big ones haha

troutie · Oct 16, 2011

yeah man mine were massive ... out grew my small green house in no time... well just check my journal for list of errors :-)

... they had something like 12 weeks veg and went stringy, i ended up trying to bend a plant with 2 nice tops and snapped it about 12" from the pot "like propper f**ked it!" but it sort of healed up and went crazy with new growth.... thats when the mites landed!

Kingrow1 · Oct 16, 2011

Top them at the third internode and flower earlier to keep them shorter. Peace

troutie · Oct 17, 2011

yeah ... i topped multiple times and still they kept growing.... untill the summer started to come to and end...as it was green house grow i had no control over how long the light was on .... but i've learnt that lesson 6 girls ='d 20 grams dried LOL!

May be worth considering the time of year you plant the seeds then for next years grow. Peace

thanks mate and yh im thinking about it fort id start with an auto flower just to see if i can do it my mrs doesnt like it coz she says i love my plants more then her ....which is true coz my plants dont talk all the time like she does lol

I feel ya...but with me, it's the hubby. He complains that I feed the plants better than I feed him and that I spend more time in the grow room than the living room. Oh well, what can I say? Seek peace and pursue it (Ps 34:14)

troutie · Oct 18, 2011

i've heard this before somewhere..... maybe everyone has somebody moaning at them about there plants... like some twisted side effect caused by having a little fun and a hobby?

Hello! Waiting for my Auto assassin seeds to be delivered,too. Also regular seeds. Lets hope to get lucky.

How big growbox would you suggest for 1 assassin? Also, can I just put seed into the big pot, so I shouldn't have to transplant it later? Also, GL with your grow.

Depends on final flowering size but you should be the judge of that.

No, start of in a small 3 inch pot and transplant up to bigger when established. Peace
