Hey guys, so this OG Kush auto is about 9 weeks now…and some pistils are starting to appear on top. I was asking myself when is it gonna start budding.?? ![20180429_130956](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/3/3/33d1eb733666f252fccf997ae85bf655664424b1.jpg) ![20180429_131005](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/f/2/f2b35b84d345a245bb2229278f6abb9869646d66.jpg) ![20180429_131041](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/f/4/f41df32f229efe1075a8f3f434915a09a7042521.jpg) ---

Bloom nutes, will be needed. As noted. She will also start to stretch, so be watchful ---

I would drop your lights down to 12 or 14 hours to help with the switch. I would consider some lst on it as well. Good luck ---

Honestly. Dont start bloom nutes till about week 2 or 3 of flower. Your plant will be doing a lot of stretching and will benefit more from the higher nitrogen. ---

I’m sorry I have to respectfully disagree they do need some nitrogen at this stage but they need the phosphorus right now. Most early bloom nuts have a slight nitrogen content. And all the ones who I have followed and learned to grow autos from always start bloom nuts as soon as you start seeing your pistols. Now with photo plants that’s correct but auto are a different story. Never get less than 4 Oz per plant this way per auto ---

I guess I can’t say if that’s true or not as I havent done any autos. ---
