Ol_Gregstarted grow question 6 years ago
at what point would you say an auto flower isn't gonna auto flower? At what point would you flip lights? I don't have a problem flipping just need some reassurance. another grow in the same tent is in week 4 so flipping now wouldn't hurt too bad.

Hi @Ol_Greg! I would flip to 12/12 if the breeder's schedule is exceeded while the plant is still in veg. That being said, I think you still have a few weeks to go through the vegetative stage, you did stunt the plant each time you proceeded to topping/defoliation, a simple topping takes approximately 7~10 days to properly recover, so don't worry yet and let her recover before she decides to bloom. If nothing happens in 2-3 weeks, you may consider flipping to 12/12. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

sure can... I have a phlizon 600w blurple which draw about 100 watts. second light is actually an outdoor spot light which I found on Amazon for $25. it is the warm white option. 150watt draws around 115 watts from the wall. both lights together draw 225 watts at the wall. the brand for the spot light was coolkun

@Deranged420,its very likely. there are plenty of 300w lights that pull more than my 600w. for instance the Viparspectra pulls like 136 for the 300w version and my 600 watt pulls 99 at the wall so yea there are differences out there. Just gotta find what works for you and run with it thats what im doing. Its all an experiment in the end.

@Ol_Greg, Gotcha, thanks for the info. I have 2 plants under a 300w LED and it is right at 22" from the top (they are doing great, a week old today). The other I have under 600w LED and it was looking horrible (stretching at 30"). I moved it down to 18" and it seems to be recovering. I am beginning to think the 300w LED i have is actually more powerful than the 600w LED. I guess another difference is I am not using a tent so dont get a much light reflected from the silver fabric of the tents. Thanks for replying!

@Deranged420, 17 was too close for the lights i was running i have moved back up to 30 inches for now. most people say start at 24 inches and adjust from there. I have started a secong grow in the same tent and the seedlings are just a couple days old and they dont seem to be stretching at all nice and thick stems. @34" but i do have a second light so im getting wy more intensity than just the one light

First set of leaves have opened for some light. unfortunately, we have had a death in the family and we are going out of town tomorrow. I brought a friend over today and showed him how to water. hopefully when i get back they are still alive but family is way more important than anything else. i watered them tonight so hopefully they can go a few days without me being home with them. i think im more worried about the light height and seedling stretching. also dont know if i should stay veg only or full power?

I was leaving Monday morning for a week due to emergency so I was kind of trying to plan for the week ahead instead of the current situation. I have a buddy headed over tonight to switch a few things around for me. I'm gonna have him veg light only and drop the light a bit. and a couple sprays of water on the girls. where should I put the light at distance wise?

Today wraps up week 3 from seed. Not really getting any stretch which I don't know if its a good thing or not. One seems a little more active than the other. I may have stressed the one out from the beginning. Looks like a couple tips are browning a little. They will be getting a flush this week. I have been wanting to flush since the beginning because I used miracle grow. Next run will be Canna Coco. Ordered some more beans today so they should be here in a few days to a week. Really don't know what to think about this light. It is obviously working but is it enough???? Ordered an experimental light to go with it. Ill update that when the time is right. Should be here Tuesday according to tracking. I have downloaded an app on my phone for a lux meter, however I've heard they are not accurate with red/blue leds so again the light is a mystery. Can't find any real results on the light everywhere I look. So the experimental light is a 150 watt LED flood light (Chinese)(115 actual) warm white 2700k - 3000k. My current light is a 600 watt Phlizon (108 actual). I think once the new light gets here the girls will each get their own light. I just don't know if the healthier girl should get the new light or the smaller girl? They will remain in the same tent so i guess they will both get each (Kind of). I have so many more things to say and questions to ask so I'll just quit while I'm ahead. Hopefully I'll get some explosive growth over the next week and my mind with ease some.

@Ol_Greg, looken good bro though a bit short. that's because you're keepen your lamp at the right distance. these will always stay a bit stocky, which is a good thing. keep doin what you doing man looks good to me. careful on the nutes so early though - and careful with the flush. folks always sayen flush flsuh flush but you can easily kill off your babies like that. just chill and see next week, get some bloom nutes going. and molasses gotta have you some carbs ! 👊

I think the most nerve wrecking thing so far is waiting to see a sprout in the soil. Once i see that im good to go.

ended week 4 with a feeding. the girls have filled back out a little. mid to late week they should be ready for a drink.

well got the new light hooked up and running. gonna check the temps within an hour to make sure we are good. more than doubled my lux at 32 inches from 6000 to 14000 at 17 inches lux is around 26000

today is day 9 total since dropping the seed in the soil and day 4 since the first leaves have opened. this is my first grow. I had to go out of town for a funeral so I have a friend checking on my babies every night. I gave the girls a nice watering before I left. so I have a 600w phlizon which I have read pulls just over 100w turned veg and bloom lights on before leaving. naturally first time growing with this light so I don't know how it is going to perform either. this whole process is an experiment anyway.

it's official we have two sprouts that have shed their shells.

Day 2: No visible changes. Soil is still warm and moist to the touch. Closed a vent that i had open for overnight. Temp and humidity rose a bit overnight which isnt a bad thing for this stage from what i have read. opened the tent this morning to allow some nice fresh air enter, also reopened the side vent that i closed overnight. Today i will be installing another 6" clip on fan towards the bottom of the tent as i already have one higher. Feel free to chime in at any time as this is my first time and im sure i will be making a few mistakes...

Lst on your first grow? And on a auto? I'd stay away from stressing her out dude. Just let her do her thing. I had 6 autos Fuck up because I stressed them. 17 oz of weed full of (unusable) seeds

Hi, I currently have an autoflower that should have started flowering by now it's at day 32, hopefully should see something by the end of this week. I just want to clear up that I'm reading your grow correctly are you saying that you have an Automatic GSC, and it only started to show it's sex at 8 weeks? Is this right?
