First time with GDP

Is it normal to be getting white pistols at2.5 weeks. At 18/6

[MidwestGuy]

For an auto, yes, it can happen. Most autos will flower at btw 4 and 7 weeks, but with autos you have to take what you get and we’ve historically seen a number of autos flower at 2 weeks.

Showing sexual maturity. Is this an auto flowering plant. Typical photos won’t reveal this for several weeks (4-6)

[MidwestGuy]

@OGIncognito

Typical photos

You will get more consistently good results with photos as well.

Seed vendors promoting autos as more easy to grow for new growers frustrates the hell out of me. Autos can be very challenging from a number of perspectives. There are some good, experienced auto growers out there, but they are not for new growers.

Yes it’s an auto 2.5 weeks

[MidwestGuy]

Treat her well by focusing on the basics and she will produce. It’s a healthy plant.

I’m thinking about going with Feminized for the next round. I would like to find some Purple Matrix Afghan from 15 years ago I think is when I was getting them

[Birdshot]

Yea her and her 2 sisters are very healthy. I use y’all’s fertilizer kits

[MidwestGuy]

@Birdshot

fertilizer

Soil or coco? Are you monitoring runoff pH and PPM?

[Birdshot]

I’m in soil Stonington Blend. I have not checked PH. I’ve never checked the PH. I’ve been reading a little bit about it but I haven’t done it

I just finished 3 gdp autos not to long ago. They all went into flower at 3 weeks. They grew more than I thought during the stretch. Got almost 3 oz per plant.
That was 1st time autos for me. I think I stress them. Lol

[Birdshot]

That’s awesome, how was they

[4204life]

They turned out pretty good. The wife likes it more than the durban.
Good smoke for sure.
Want to try the gdp again with photos

[Birdshot]

Man that’s awesome. I hope to be seeing the same type results. Man those are beautiful

[Birdshot]

Will it make a difference if she stays good and healthy. It’s something I’ve never done

[CLICKYBONES]

I’m also running some Gdp clones in Stonington…Unsure what to expect as well … they’re 2wks in from buttons, and are pushing hard with 6.2ph… went to jacks at flip with 4,2,0

[Birdshot]

So you lost me after ph. I’m still kinda old school this is my first indoor and first autos. I mostly watch the leaves for the health of the plant. I have been reading and paying attention to some of the issues other folks are dealing with

[Birdshot]

I am interested in getting better

[Birdshot]

So with the GDPs starting already I should probably start the flower fertilizer

[Poseidon1]

Here are some ilgm gdp, photoperiod plants. Very dense and strong plants. Strap in!
