Cannabis plants take a short strech period during the pre-flowering phase. Your strain is a 75% Indica strain so within this pre-flowering phase she can strech up to double the size that she had before the pre-flowering phase started.
Sativa strains can even triple their size during this pre-flowering phase.
It is 100% normal and had nothing to do with you raising the lights.
Em_grows Did some defoliation around the bottom of plants to increase airflow to help lower humidity. Still new to Autoflowers and growing in general so hoping I didn’t do too much and stunt them at all. But getting mold would be worse so had to be done.
Did some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation
Em_grows Slowly fattening up, adding on mass and trichomes, got some purple happening on one of them. Hopefully they fatten up a lot more over the next couple weeks. I did make a couple mistakes with this grow, mainly that I only gave them 1 tbsp per gallon of top dress. I gave them some teas to hopefully make up for it but now I know for next time so they don’t fade so early. Shortest plant is 30 inches, tallest is 45.
Only 2 weeks left, are these ladies gonna fatten up? I’ve scrolled through a lot of diaries and the height on my plants seems way larger than the average auto but the bud development seems way behind, any ideas?
Yes they will stay fatten up big time!!!
They just started to flower and will still take a month to make those buds bigger, fatter and more juicy!!!
You can add a PK-Booster like PK 13/14 If you did not do that already.
PK-Boosters contain a lot of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) And the plant is using the P and K to make and fatten up those buds!
They look gorgeous!
Enjoy your grow!

Em_grows They seem to have packed on some decent size this week which I’m glad to see but the trichome production leaves a little to be desired. Some of the lower buds look more frosty than the top buds which seems weird to me but I don’t really know that much lol. My ph runoff has been a little low which I think has to do with the molasses I gave them which wasn’t blackstrap which I think raises ph. Anyways, next watering will be with about 7.0 until my runoff corrects, it could explain the yellowing leaves as well. But the runoff is 6.1-6.3 which shouldn’t be that big an issue so it could be something else but I’m so close to the end messing around too much is probably not the best thing to do. Hopefully my pictures and videos are a little better this week at least! Enjoy and hit me up in the comments if you have any tips!

Em_grows Not much to be said this week other than I can’t wait for this grow to be done with so I can move on to some better genetics with my new knowledge. Pretty disappointed with the resin production, yield, and these plants overall. Now I know better than to just buy seeds without looking into the breeder much better.
Em_grows Another week down, trichomes are still getting more cloudy and hairs are slowly turning. Hopefully they tell me they are finished soon!

Em_grows Will be in the dark for 48 hours then getting chopped. Took off lots of the large fan leaves so there’s less to do when I have to trim. Turned out pretty frosty and smells pretty good. Don’t think there will be a huge haul but I learned a lot. Going to dry in 60% and around 20c hopefully it makes it 10-14 days before dry. Will post updates with the dry weight. Thanks for stopping by!
Definitely didn’t end up as dense as I had hoped so a lot of it ended up in the trim bag for hash. Was pretty easy to grow but I definitely had issues so can’t blame it all on the seeds. I learned a lot though which is good and it still turned out pretty decent.

Em_grows Ended with 255g of trimmed bud and 460 of trim and small buds, the trim amount was super high because I didn’t want to trim all the tiny buds so I just threw a lot in the hash pile. Should get a whole bunch of hash out of it though!
Mate it's your bud. Do as you wish and weight it as if you use the trim or any other part of the plant.
Add to harvest dry weight.
Nice looking bud there pal. Enough your bounty.
Looking good and as the old saying goes patience is a virtue so i would recommend using a microscope and follow the trichome path to know when its best to harvest. You can read up on it here https://cprosolutions.com/the-different-stages-of-trichome-development/ if you weren't aware
@Djeemz, ok awesome, thanks for the tip! I got a jewelers loupe to help harvest at the right time. I’m fighting a bit of a ph issue right now but trying to correct it so they can finish strong, I’m already thinking about my next grow too haha
@Em_grows, I feeel you on the PH i used to have that long time ago before i had aquariums say 98/99 then i stoppped growing for few years and went all in on Salt water aquariums and Amazon type aquariums and thats where i learned a shit load about water and PH and calciums magnesiums etc etc si feel you on that because the harvest i have gotten since i traded my aquariums for grow tent i almost automaticly know what to do with ph/ec salinitie and metals and its going beter and beter eacht time and i write everythng down which seems to help find the smaller mistakes and stuff. SO read up on stuff like water and types of water and bacterias and stuff it will open a world for you
@Jays_Not_Here_Man, thanks so much! Just waiting for them to fatten up now and hoping the thc production goes way up or they will only be about 5% lol. I have some better seeds I’m excited to grow for the next run :)
Good looking grow you have going there.
Personally I don't think taking any more off would offer you any advantage. Humidity level in your stats seem fine. Best of luck
✌️😎💨
@Inganjawetrust, thank you so much! I will just let them do their thing until harvest. You have some beautiful grows, I hope mine fatten up like yours have!
@JoeGrows420, yeah they really went crazy, I thought autos were supposed to stay pretty small but these ones completely blew up and filled out a 4x4 wall to wall. I just hope the flowers fatten up, only like 2-3 weeks left so we will see what happens
@OrganicPower, thank you very much! You do such an amazing job with Gaia, I hope to get some results like that on my next run, it should go a little smoother, fingers crossed anyways haha :)
