Think Different Showing Sex?! (Day 22 with pics)

Man im frustrated with my grow today, im around day 24 and it seems like they are wayyyy to small for how old they are. Does anyone or has anyone had their think differents sitting at about 3-10 inches tall at day 24? They already started to flower and they seem waaaay to small...i really hope they start to stretch soon and get bigger.... they are SUPER bushy but not real tall thats for sure. i added my new 700w led so now in my 4x8 i have a 900w LED a 700w LED and a 600W HPS..... the temps are at 75 all day and the humidity is around 50. Ive done my research and am very meticulous when it comes to this and it seems like they just dont want to get BIG. Granted this is my first Autoflower and FIRST indoor grow as well but have a bunch of outdoor under my belt... So if anyone can reassure me that they are the right size for the age that would be awesome because im starting to get a little discouraged with how slowly things are progressing.
how big are ur pots.

I understand where your comin from mate I really do but be patient.....they will shoot up! On my last grow they had grow spurts, around week 2-4 again around week 6-7 and right at the end of flowering in the last 2 week's they swelled right up! How big are your air pots? I only use your standard 5ltr plastic garden pots

As far as I'm aware they should shoot up rather quickly around this stage, I might have a quick look online and see if LED light counteracts what the HPS can do in the growth stage....probably a silly idea but it might have something to do with that

So i have been a few days ahead, just looked back and im actually about 23 days today. i built my scrog tonight and set it up about 9" off the top of the pots and will start training once they reach the top. If anyone can remember what theirs looked like at about day 23 and compare to what ive got that would be awesome reassurance for me. here is a bunch of pics of the setup. Thanks Everyone! Let me know what you think!!20140320_205254.jpg20140320_205557.jpg20140320_205601.jpg20140320_205604.jpg20140320_205608.jpg20140320_205831.jpg20140320_205834.jpg20140320_205836.jpg20140320_205839.jpg

So I got my ez co2 bags today changed the setup a little . hung two on the outside walls and one in the middle. Closed all vents except one which is by the cold room which keeps the tent cool and setup the carbon fan so that approximately 1/8of the air is being vented constantly and the other 3/4 goes back into the room. Makes sense to me. Any ideas? Room is 4x8

I didn't care for the huge variations in the think different phenos. I had the same problem with one of mine never reaching over 8-10 inches. One was thrown out because it didn't get much over 3 inches or so. That was about 1ft away from the 1k hps lamp. My delicious seeds la diva looked much better than the think different and the smoke was much better. But it's all about the phenos you get.

They started to stretch big time.. left for the weekend and came back and it was a huge difference... only problem is i had 4 Shot adrenaline in there too and they died all except one maybe 2....(if im lucky) ill snap some pics tomorrow...i left too long and the humidifier ran out of water so they dried out big time.... will be lucky if they pull through :( ill snap some pics tomorrow and put them on..

Great news on the Think Different's growth spurt, by the time I cut my lot down they were around 38"-44" high...not sure if that was over stretched considering they are autos and ment to be somewhat shorter then phenos.

So what happened with the other 4?? Was it just down to the humidifier running out of water? I've never used a humidifier before and to be honest I don't think il ever need one, must be down to the grow environment.
Hope you can pull them back from the brink anyway but even if you can I expect they will be stunted?
Good luck mate

I had a couple plants display terrible recessives as well - one died very young as a result and the other two were fucked up beyond belief in flower with tiny little crap buds - I had an almost 4ft tall plant outdoors yield a few grams. No auto line should ever have such bad recessive traits since you cannot clone and are not searching for that one plant you can keep forever. It's a crappy line with crappy plants that smell bad largely and smoke worse. The plants without bad recessives will yield. Maybe you get lucky and find one decent plant like I did (out of over 20 and it was only decent and at least didn't smell god awful like the rest of them did - smelled like bubblegum). Most will not be very good. It's a bad line in my experience with over 20 of them.

I grew a couple La Divas and I agree, they were pretty close to identical and the smoke was better as was the taste. The yield wasn't quite as good, but not that much worse and the smoke was at least passable (although still not very great).

Well today is actually day 26... i looked back and was waaay off with the day calculation. they have started to grow almost 2 inches a day on the HID side and the LED side is just short SUPER bushy plants.... Here are some pics. The shot adrenaline died because i left them under the HID for a day and was gone for too long and couldnt water them. the roots dried up and rotted away in like 24 hours, crazy!DSC_0496.jpgDSC_0497.jpgDSC_0498.jpgDSC_0499.jpgDSC_0505.jpgDSC_0503.jpg

They are all in 5G pots....for size reference

I like how bushy they are becoming! If you carry on with the ideal conditions you should have a healthy yield!

Your setup looks really good I must say, I've never done scrog before but I might try it on 2 of mine and see how it works for me and if there's a big difference in yield
