That's what I'm saying about these autos. Just wait a couple days and the change is crazy. Here's a picture of one that started slow and was way behind the rest. 14 days ago it started to flower. 5 gallon pot looks a little small lolView attachment 3721952
I know you're right now lol
Apparently I have some fickle late bloomers but they are definitely surprising in how all of the sudden you wake up to some buds .
I have one that has about 12 tops on it and wide as hell . Definitely not the small plant I figured it would be .

Autos are a much different game compared to photos. They don't fit everyone's needs but they do hold a strong spot for a lot of people. For me and my room it's basically auto only. I think the biggest killer with them is people don't have patience. These bastards will blow up but you need to make it past the initial slow am start.

No I believe the panels I have to be knock offs of some sort.
I was told they are full spectrum
I think I need more RED
What say you?
I say you run them as they are till you can afford a better light. Those things will sort of do the trick but they lack basically everywhere. I could almost tell they were a cheaper Chinese light by the size. I ran Mars for awhile till I realized there is actually some science behind lighting and found out that any of the 200$ panels wouldn't give me the results I was after.

These panels were free to me. The whole setup cost me nothing really. I had to just buy my nutrients.
I've never used leds for growing so I figured why not try a little test?
Sp far for veg these panels are pretty impressive
I can't wait to see what they do for flower
But yes I am saving for a better unit or two, also would like to upgrade my tent. I haven't decided which ones to go with, I hear black dog is great. Idk though
Just really like the results thus far with the LEDS I am using :)

Some buds from my clones that I harvested couple days ago .
The bud structure is a bit deformed but very frosty and smells of zesty lemon and sweet pineapple .
A definite improvement from my last round . I'll have another harvest in 3-4 weeks so I'm hoping for similar results

As far as my autos go they're all going along at their own pace . Some are much further along than others but all of them are showing progress now so I'll have to agree with a wise man they call smo lol about patience being a virtue especially when dealing with autos .

This is what I just got off of 3 clones that I vegged for 30 days and 75 days of flower .
It's stinky and sticky and considering how small the Plants were the Yield is a pleasant surprise no doubt .

Not bad for my second harvest

Next round gets harvested in a few weeks so definitely looking forward to it . And I really like keeping a perpetual garden going because we all know running out sucks lol

It's definitely getting better as I go along ..
It's also helpful that a lot of you guys that have the experience are willing to help out the new growers ...
When I first joined the forum Here I was an arrogant asshole that thought Kind fixtures were gonna grow me a "bout a pound " a plant lmfao

6 months and many mistakes later I've come quite a ways lol

But part of my success is attributed to the advice and experience shared by you guys on here .

And a special thanks to Mr Hound for all the tough love and introducing me to some proper Leds

How about a kind vs Apache comparison. Mine are being polished and sold as new to the next sorry soul so I can't help.

If you look at some of my pics from about a month ago you'll
See the difference between the kinds and the Apache ..

Also Smo you were right about the autos , bitches will surprise you.
I'll keep using them but half my space will still be used for photos.
I harvested a couple of autos today and from the looks of it I'll end up with half a pound from these first 2. So far so good I'd say

That's great. It was funny for awhile watching u panic. I did the same thing and was always surprised in the end. I'm about to harvest another run and it's insane how big they get if everything's done right

I knew you would be ok. It's s bitch waiting for your money to grow though. Like me your determined, that only means you'll do well. I see so many who literally say they forget to water or feed and make yield complaints. I saw a guy get...., but went on vacation for a week without plant care. Youll only get out what u put in. Like life.

Try the Dinafem monsters, I have a few moby dick that are just insane. Critical and white widow are others that take off. I chopped a moby bud last week for someone, dried last night it weighed in 34g there is probably bigger out there but for an auto it's not to bad. Next is mephisto hubbabubbasmellascope, I have seen 9-12 oz on the high side. 10 of these under my blinding lights should make for a few full mason jars.

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Hey all. Amateur soil grower, using 4 *150w mars hydro led panels. Growing 3* formula one autoflowering and one Fem. Jack herer . Having some trouble with one plant (even though they've all had exact same environment/conditions).
Any thoughts on what this is? I've compared lots of online pics but can't finger it. Leaning towards Magnesium deficiency??
I dunno... Don't wanna lose her.
Thanks in advance!
One Love

I would try more cal mag on her.
 
I would just go ahead and do a flush with cal mag, that way you can kill two birds with one stone,that's just me. Might want to ask someone else in here to be on the safe side.
