I am hoping someone can help me out. My Blue Dream Auto (outdoor) was progressing perfectly fine throughout the veg stage and I topped once right before it started to flower. It has since started to flower but it is refusing to get any taller and seems to keep stacking leaves on top of each other at each cola. It seems to be feeding fine, as the leaves are still very much so green and the soil is drying out properly. The other plant I have and topped at the same time is progressing as expected. Any idea what might be causing it? I know there is a support ticket I can fill out but don’t know where to find it. If someone can link it i can give more info about the grow. Pictures attached.

Hey @nolsmith shes flowering anyway. Sometimes you just have to work with the genetics. They are all a little different, especially the autos.

Sometimes it just takes a bit for them to fire up. Let her go, she knows what she’s doing. Just keep watering her as needed. If she has a problem, she’ll let you know through her leaves. I have an auto going now. Didn’t start flower til week 7, seem to stay there forever. By week 12 flowers started to fatten but no visable trichomes. She’s on week 16 and I finally see trichomes, but I feel like she has about another 2 weeks to go.

Gotcha. I started these from seeds so genetics could definitely be the culprit. I will keep going as usual. I appreciate both responses! Just to make sure, I have provided all the grow info below in case something jumps out at someone:

And one more question: if I am to leave it and just let it do it’s thing, should I trim the top fan leaves to let light in to the middle and bottom section? It seems like those parts aren’t getting much sun during the day.

Yes, not too much at a time. If you can tuck them that would be best. With autos having a short life span, less stress is best
