Is it allegedly an auto?
Yup it sure is
@Graysin do you think I ended up with a Photo seed?
Yep, quite probably. It’s not at all unusual for the “auto” to sometimes not auto.
@Graysin What do I do with the plant? Is it a total loss?
No, just treat it like a photoperiod. Put her on 12/12 when you’re ready - literally any time. She’ll flower out when you alter her light schedule.
@Graysin I only have 1 tent. How do I go 12/12 with the Autos?
They will be fine. I have grown photo and auto together. I just flipped and let them ride. That is my .02 anyway. Maybe some of the better growers will steer you right.
I do the same - I just run my autos on 12/12. Even if they’ve started flowering, they won’t mind less light.
Thanks so much for your input!!
Thank you sooooo much for your help @Graysin !!!
This is my first grow ever. Seeds from ILGM.
Im growing OG Kush autoflower in a 2x4 tent with three five gallon fabric pots and using super soil for the bottom third with a FFOF and perlite mix on top and a little seed starter of center very top.
Today I’m on day 17. They look super healthy but very short. I have the lights all the way up as high as I can.
Because this is my first grow I have no clue if this is correct it seems when I’m looking online other people’s autos are much larger at the start of week three. I’ve been extremely cautious about overwatering and believe perhaps I was underwatering. Rather than watering a lot I watered very little but more often. I’ve only been giving them about 3 -5 oz of water every few days. 2 days ago I gave them about double and noticed explosive growth in just the last couple of days. This morning I just watered before taking these images and gave them each 15 oz so I think I’m going to see some growth again. Not sure but they seem healthy to me. Very strong and dark green leaves and seem very happy for sure.
Another very short do you think I’m on the right track? Any input would be great. Wasn’t sure how to post LOL my first time on this chat so I replied to yours
thank you
I always try to water away from them helps roots spread out more, I also learned that I didnt need to give nutrients for quite awhile the soil will maintain. If you discover someone or a post and would like to connect remember to put the @ there is alot of awesome people on this forum good luck. I grow both also. Treat everyone the same. I started with the purple lights also and ran 24/7 now my veg is 18/6 and flower is 12)12 you will see alot of information about that also. Good Luck Growmie
I know when i started i was so nervous i too underwatered. It had an effect on my harvest numbers but i got something out of it. There are couple side effects of under watering I learned. The fist is the growth is stunted thats why they are smaller than other pics and also if you dont flush out your medium it can throw off your feeding schedule. So i started soaking the pots 2 twice a week on a schedule, it made a big difference and the feeding more consistent. I use a autopot system so mine always have water.
@Siprice2 this but will add it may not be needed twice in 1 week, this will depend on the vessel size and the mediums drainage. Use a drench to drought method ![]()
Actually bought a really cool auto pot system that bottom feeds through my fabric pots. But right before starting I read something that suggested it is the wrong thing to do with autos. I’m doing organic living soil and super soil strictly only watering no added nutes seed to harvest. I’ll have to give it a try next time. Yesterday I gave each plant 15 oz of water. Do you think I should do more than that? I was reading a lot of people do 1 L at the third week. It just seems like so much that’s 32 oz.
I water 4 autos ( super skunk , unknown kush , strawberry cough , critical xl ) twice a week with a 5 gallon bucket between the 4 plants. I believe i have the autos in 3 gallon fabric pots.
