Nearly 6ft auto Day 61 from seed, advice please

Yvetteb · Jan 24, 2017

Ill try and make this as brief as possible, so my usual grow space is currently unusable at the moment so i decided to do a basic closet grow. When i say basic i mean two ufo led grow lights. Not the best, (or at least i thought) Nft tray, small fan and thats it. Ive used canna a +b for weeks 2-4, currently using aqualink hydro max bloom a +b and big bud. I also used bud blood at the first sight of beginning to flower. I dont know temps. Humidity. This has been literally a big basic grow. So im at day 61 and this pretty lady (thc bomb auto) and its MASSIVE its now taller than ME . I always thought autos stayed small but this has proven me wrong. It says 65 days from seed to harvest and while i know this is an estimate and to expect longer, im finding it hard to tell how long i should leave it. This is only my 3rd grow so im yet to master it. Also i want to start using overdrive and need a rough idea of when i should start feeding this. The lights are on 24hr and need advice in whether this is the best way to proceed. Thanks in advance

This was 2 days ago.. thats what i was thinking too... they have just starting putting out trichs.. so developing well. Every leaf has light tips (nute burn) but only using 1/3 strength. It doesnt seemed to have had an effect on the plant, all i have done is reduced the amount of nutes.

Turn your lights down to 12 hours now, and LST that bitch over

Looking good man. I've had a Think Different go to 100 days and a cream mandarin xl at 110 days. It does make a difference leaving them that bit longer.

You have to lst autos if you grow any decent sized plants. I learned my lesson after growing these .

I wouldn't go to 12 hours but I would drop to 18/6

Yh i was thinking of downing the lights on time abit... i have a couple more of these seeds so if i do another ill defo be training it... this grow was more to see if it was worth getting the strain and figured as their autos i wont have to waste nearly 4 months to see if its a good one... i must say I've been quite impressed by bomb seeds. Last grow was cherry bomb and i vegged for 6 weeks and pulled 13oz dried from it..

That looks great, I've never seen autoflowers growing that tall!

Big smo · Jan 25, 2017

A lot has to do on how you feed it. Holding off on PK will stall it in veg stage longer.

Autos get big. There are a few tricks to make them grow bigger and it looks like you inadvertently stumbled upon them.

Mainly larger pots and using veg nutes through the stretch.

Just tie to the top of it and start bending it over a little each day.

Im using an nft system (hydro) i think im just gonna let it finish off as is tbh. The height isnt an issue as it isnt in a tent so the ceiling is the highest point in the closet (walk in closet)

Yes early phosphate and potash will help them go into flower while holding off will stall them to an extent. Followed by tons of low stress training which helps them produce multiple tops

What size pots and lights did you use. I'm still learning too. And have an auto northern lights started now.

I was expecting 3' to 4' for auto northern lights. I may need to rethink things.
