Help Needed Tran Siberian Auto Day 58

Hello. Here is my day 58 TSB autoflower from auto seeds.

I still just have masses of white pistils and buds are not filling in..

The plant looks good to me otherwise I mean its 3 feet tall in 5 gallons of soil and has been fed tiger bloom.

The buds still havent thickened.

Think they should swell soon? I still get tons of new white pistils daily.


It seems like if these buds would swell I'd get a pretty damn decent yield. I just keep waiting and waiting and I'm getting worried.

any help would be appreciated.


from the looks how many weeks left? I was thinking 3 bare minimum.

Your golden bruthah, shes about to start packing it on just keep doin what your doing and youll be set for a while

thank you brother.. could anyone else please chime in and let me know your thoughts as well?

I hate it when tons of people view a post but you only get 1 reply.

I've only done 4 grows so i'm still a newbie and I learn from the great folks here at RIU.

My grows have gotten better and better each time due to feedback on my posts.

Thank ya'll.

I concur. Looks great. Just keep doing what you are doing. I would say at least 2-3 weeks.

1 more thing, in the close up pic i noticed a lot of orange pistils, have you been checking her for intersex traits? aka balls ,male flowers, bananas? have you handled the plant a lot or is there a possibility of pollen having hit her?

no way of it getting pollenated... in a room with only 1 vegging nirvana blue mystic female.. and nope I dont handle her alot at all... only take out of room and bath tub to water.. if I start seein nanners im gonna get pissed.


She is on a 20/4 light schedule and has been on that since day 1 and when its the off 4 hours no light at all hits it... Its in a closet and lights go off from 2am-4am so 0 light leaks are possible nor is male pollen.


I look at her daily to see if she is thickening and havent noticed any signs of male/hermie at all.

I do think this pheno took on some more sativa dominance which i wouldnt mind I love sativa dominant hybrids the best. the up most leaves on the tops of the colas are very sativa thin like... when first started growing the plant had indica style leaves but they turned into more sativa ish leaves... the other autos ive grows were nirvanas bubblelicious auto (loved that smoke) and short stuff himalaya blue diesel then I've grown 1 photo strain a NL x BB from world of seeds.

my favorite strain of all time is blue dream (when its grown to perfection)







Ohhhhhhh yeah.. If anyone wants to grow this tran siberian auto from auto seeds.. be weary... my god this little bitch hates nutrients. she got burned on me using 1/3 strength tiger bloom

Ive always been under the impression that autos only require around 1/4 the nutrients of the stated usage on the bottle. Could it be you are using a bit too much nutrients? How early do you start to administer nutrients? Have you had issues with other plants burning as well?

That's not a bad setup. I just pulled 40 g's (dry) off a 60 day auto. It was the Fruit Auto from Dinafem. Great plant. My lighting was a 150 w led with 2 cfls. Anyways I was just asking to make sure you had enough light. It prob just needs a few more weeks or it could be one of those that packs on weight near the end.

I use the Fox Farm lineup full strength with no issues... But I don't water/fert that often because LEDs don't dry out the plant as fast.

what made you form that opinion?
autos are just like photo plants, some strains and even individuals within a population can be really tolerant of nutes and some will shit out with a low ass level, just gotta learn what your babies like and what they dont.

A lot of the stuff ive read from multiple growers have stated to dilute your buets down to 1/4 of recommendation so as not to burn autos. Other than that I really have no other knowledge of the matter to fall back on. I have just come across that in multiple grow journals i have read.

Ok i purchased fox farm nuets as well actually just recieved them in the mail today. I am just shy of starting my first grow so im not trying to spund like I know more than anyone in this forum. I just have seen from multiple grow journals and there is even a fox farm nuets schedule for autos that recommend smaller doses of nuets

yeah, stick around long enough and youll see lots of myths like that, people dont like to accept that sometimes you have to apply yourself and work at things they just want a one size all quick fix for there instant gratification and sorry but growing and life generally dont work that way.

The other autos I grew never burned 1 single time.. maybe its my soil mix this time... I used to only use ocean forest soil... this time i couldnt afford (i have to buy ocean forest online and shipping is hell)... so... I used cheap organic potting mix that I amended with perlite..vermiculite...black kow cow manure compost...bone meal and dolomite lime..

I only gave the auto water until it started to truly flower then I started using 1/2 strength tiger bloom and it burnt.

then i only gave water till new growth wasnt burnt then back to tiger bloom.


I did give the last of a bottle of dyna gro bloom for its 1st feeding and i think where it was last bit of the bottle it may have been super concentrated and thus we got burn.


the nirvana auto bubblelicious and himalaya blue diesel from short stuff.. I couldnt give those enough nutes .. I didnt go too heavy this time this plant just did not like nutes.

No need to apologize to me, that just happened to be the general stigma surrounded by nuets and autos. I assumed that was just kind of a safe place to start and most are afraid to go above that due to scary tales of burning plants

People overthink a lot here on RIU I've noticed. It's a plant. Just get the basics down, leave it alone and you're good to go.

True, I look at it for what it really is, a weed, and weeds are determined to grow 9 times out of 10.
