Unfortunately like we were talking earlier about she was at the end of her rope.... I had to chop her least that's what it really felt like the buds are dryin at the moment....View attachment 3588577 View attachment 3588578 View attachment 3588581

Thank you though hondagrower I wish I hadn't made the mistake of flushing so early but it definitely tied up my options chock it up as a growing lesson I guess haha.

I wouldn't flush period your starving your plant, I'm going to be cutting down my auto flowers this week, 2 of them I forgot to put drain holes so they didn't grow well, one of them seems to be okay just they don't yield much I'm hoping for a oz dry or maybe 1.5 oz dry

Do you have a scope to see? What about white pistol's are more then 85% of them changed? It looks done from here but stil hard to tell from them couple pictures

that seems like way too long for a auto flower, most of them are done in 60-70 days from seed

Well I don't really control over how long they take.

They flowered under 18/6 so they are definitely autoflowers.

How many days a plant takes doesn't make or not make an autoflower.

Autoflowers automatically flower so I don't know what to tell you.

Are you saying mine are not autoflowers because they vegged for 5 weeks before the automatically flowered?

I don't understand your post.

Well that is somewhat true, some auto flowers actually take a light cycle to show/start flowering, not sure why, what I was thinking is did you slow down the growth like top them or cut anything off of them? How come you choose that light cycle, and what is wrong with 12/12? I do believe 12/12 doesn't seem to do good with them per the yield.

I topped one. It didn't slow it down.


I'm planning on pulling around 400 grams from these 3 autos. So I don't care about how long they take. That's close to a pound in 3 months so whatever.

Those plants are almost 3ft tall.

got pictures? i'd like to see them, yeah I wouldn't top a auto flower because you do slow down the growth up to 2 weeks when you cut, or top a plant and since you only got a certain amount of time to grow them thats probably why you shouldn't same for cloning it you can't do it because it will be done the same time as the mother and would be pointless

Day 68

As you can see the are nowhere close to done.

Some autos get too tall for a space. Topping them keeps smaller and may help with the end yield...just my 2 cents from reading mass amounts of info on autos lol.

But who am I...I'm doing my first grow as we speak.

Topping is strain dependant just like photoperoid plants.

Some like it some don't.

Yeah I wish I topped my Skunks...they are crazy wild jungle vines!!

You get that off 3 and I'll be happy getting that off my 7 autos!!

Yeah I figured that out around week 2 or 3 of flushing it was already too late to go back to giving it nutes since I was actually just about as far as the auto was gonna go normally I messed up. I can only say, "first grow" lol. On the other hand I still am growing a Super Lemon Haze she's at around 4 months or just about I'm too lazy to check my journal lol. Here's a couple pics for anyone interested lol oh and some babies from momma





Also I just transplanted her into that huge red pot from a 5.5 gal pot I'm a tad worried about that drooping things to note: I watered her before her transplant about two days prior and two there seemed to be nitrogen toxicity from that before mentioned watering I yesterday when transplanting ran 10 gallons of plain ph'd water to try to flush it a bit I was thinking maybe I just overwatered her since she was just watered a couple days prior what do you all think I'm a bit worried she's a lot of long work invested so I'm attached to her lol

Holy smokes duder, your plants look like they are heat stressed. How hot is it in your grow room? The curled up leaves can mean heat stress or root rot probs.

Yeah. That's heat stress. And a little magnesium deficiency.

The canopy will reach 80f sometimes.

Definitely not a root issue.

That's a good eye. I use silica to help wth my heat issues. I haven't seen any stunted growth.

I noticed a lil bit of that very same on some of my babies then again its very hard to keep the temp regulated right there as they are surrounded by cfls the rest of the room can be around 70 75 but that area/spot stays 80-85 aside from that they look awesome all their side shoots are stretchin out nicely. I'll have to keep that silica in mind didn't know it helped them handle heat better aside from that honda your ladies are lookin pretty damn great

Should pick your power board up off the floor, even though its not hydro it is easy to knock over the water container when your busy, and good practice if you up grade later.

Ill do that next time i'm in there I'll at least take it and put up a lil bit on something, know I'll piss myself off if I drop somethin on it lol. I most definitely will be upgrading as time goes on I just got myself a second 600 w setup and I moved my babies around next to momma SLH in the middle of LSTing but got lazy and fell asleep for a while lol.

I typed that like an hour ago since then I finished up with the lil babies



This was during and after the LST and of course a pic of the whole setup atm "Constant Change" of course lol

12/12 reduces yield with auto's and is for photo plants to flower. 18/6 or 20/4 is best with autos.
