Best of luck! I'm running into the same troubles starting autos off in their final coco pot, I'm starting to think that starting off like in a small solo cup till the plant establishes it self, than tier transplant it into a large pot.... The clones I've done in coco have been phenomenal! The seeds I've started in coco have been a hit or miss with not stunting them... Almost am tempted to go back to sunshine mix or something, are you not using any root stimulators like Rhizotonic? Your girls for their age look healthy enough, good luck bro!

how heavy is the pot when you pick it up ?
the trick to growing a plant in its final pot is not soak it down until established ... personally i use a spray bottle and just water around the plant ..... when i do start to actually water i water very shallow and never soak the pot down until the plant is a foot tall or so

Hi guys she's now 9 inches which isn't great but looking very nice, I've just tied down bud sites this morning (this was amazing on my first ever grow,bagseed) I have noticed the new leaves have slight tip burn. Maybe due to last feeding of both grow and bloom. She's had water since but next one should be a feed but not sure to give both again (2nd time) or just bloom nutes, maybe too much nitrogen in grow nutes for Her now, what do u guys think? Here's a couple pics from this morning. Also do u think it would be worth using calmag as I have some but never used it before. Thanks in advance

Well it's now day 50 and she is doing fine at just over a foot tall. She's now taking 2ltrs every day and half and quite likes bloom nutes at 3ml per litre and 1ml calmag. She's very bushy and was very tempted to snip a few leaves but managed to hold myself back.

Looks great to me. Should be some good smoke.

How long were you actually worried before she perked up and started flowering?

I'm doing my.first autos now. 7 days old today and getting thier first dark period.

It was about a week since original post that it was in full motion. She's doing very well at the moment but have just started to notice leves are looking as tho there's a deficiency so I've eased back on the nutes to 1.5ml ltr. Hitting week 8 on Wednesday and she's getting lots of trichromes. I think I've got another 3 weeks yet although Breeder says 9. Hoping to get over an oz off her, not the greatest but im happy for my 2nd grow. She looks almost identical to my first grow which was bagseed so expecting 44g ish lol

Wow, that's a pretty decent yield from an auto, and your plant looks happy.

Are you going to keep growing this strain? What is it btw? Lol

Will be happy with an oz but fingers crossed hey. Yeah she's doing well, and she's a royal queen seeds quick one auto. She's the last of 3 seeds I purchased when I first started growing last August. I don't think I'll do anymore of these for a while as I have an OG kush feminised in veg in the same room

I pulled a lower bud to dry slowly for a couple days it still looks a bit airy. It's 5.1g wet. Pistils are turning Orange but still throwing out lots of white. This plants a bit different to the last as I have nearly all cloudy triches and a few Amber but the buds don't seem to be as mature and dense. Could this just be the strain?

If I don't pull a minimum of 85 grams trimmed, dried, and manicured it wasn't a good grow. The days of hoping for an ounce off an auto are long gone. I've pulled over 5 ounces off an auto using only a Blackstar 270 in soil.

I've heard autos are very good yeilders nowadays. This is only my 2nd grow so am still learning. I would Love to get over 2oz per plant, I think this will happen sometime in the near future as I'm still dialling everything in. I just need to be self sufficient as I'm paying £20 for 1.4g which is a joke! I think I'm going to pick up a budda grow tent from eBay, will be only 300wcfl I mainly want it for smell reasons as no carbon filter at the minute.

How'd u manage that? Do u just lst, and how far do U hang your led? I'm wandering if mine is too close as I don't get a lot of stretch, normally only just over a foot tall in total.

Mine get around 3 foot tall. They're real bushy until they start their natural stretch after a good month or so of growing. They will literally stretch an inch or two a day for a short period. I will start moving the light up after the plant starts its flowering stretch to encourage it a little more.

I try to keep the LED in the sweet spot by watching the plant. When the leaves are all arched up wide open, that's the sweet spot.

If the plant is real bushy to the point the bottom nugs are running way behind then I do a staggered harvest. I cut off what's ready and will let the rest go a couple more weeks. That's how I pulled 150 grams trimmed and cured off a Sweet Tooth.

I don't do much if any LST. From time to time I'll spread the plant out a little with some round bamboo stakes but that's about it. I'm just a personal stash guy. It's more about quality than quantity but I do get good quantity.

i will keep that in mind regarding leaves and light. I want quality bud for myself and of course quantity should be good as you say!
