So trying my first Auto flower. Stoked I have good seeds. A new tent and a new light to go with my 3 from last grow. All 5 germinated in days. This is going to be a great grow
So the move is complete. These lovely ladies have now moved into their room. Along with moved from the 2000 to the 4000. I can't wait to see how this works I know it's a learning curve . I right now have a inline fan that's moving 400 CMF so we'll see if it's enough. And it's my first time using a very large tent and a large light. stuck to see how it goes the journey begins happy budding everyone.
My lovely lady's are growing nicely. They are soaking up all the light that the massive led can give off. I'm keeping a very close eye on their nutrients. So far so good all is well and the reacting beautifully. very nice to have all the help from you the grow diary family. excited to do some more topping and filming as soon as they are ready. since this is my first grow with autoflowers not sure how they will react. only time will tell until next week.
A very exciting week. Went ahead and switched over to my main nutrients. They handled it just fine and are growing rapidly!!! They are Stretching for the light vigorously so I went ahead and lowered the light a few inches. This is the girl that has the large 4000 LED setup so I do have to be careful, The fine line of just enough without burning and without stressing them out. I was able to add a CO2 bag to my tent as well. These lady's took all my nutrients and with no side to stress to the ladies. They're holding up very well. I measured my plants runoffs tds and it was only 347 so I think they're using up most of their nutrients.
I went ahead and topped/FIMing them two nights ago night. I added good nutrients right after doing which is always worked well for me in the past. So far so good. They're growing rapidly and showing no signs of slowing down. These auto flowers are definitely going to keep me out my toes and enjoying learning and growing with them. I have a few more surprises coming for them as they continue to grow. I will be moving them into larger pots due to the fact they are already reaching thru the drains in the pots for more nutrients. You got to keep in feed. They want more. I'm going to keep giving it to them. Can't wait to see them blossom into wonderful ladies. 😁
Happy farming!
As always any info or tips are always welcome
This week they finally moved their way to their 3 gallon pots. They were filled with happy farm, ocean forest and some perlite. Since then they have stretched their wings and are growing towards the beautiful skies. These autos are taking off like rockets. So far they have taken all the nutrients without a problem showing no signs and no issues. The ones that were topped have already recovered and continue to move on as well as the ones fiming.
Okay to change a different air conditioner due to too hot temperatures inside of the grill room. Pretty soon we're going to have to lower the humidity. All the going well. Happy farming

It's been a big week for my lovely ladies. They have started to bud. They are stretching for the light at a rapid rate. Autoflowers are definitely different. This is my first grow with autos.
Some of them are taken off a little quicker than others but they all have pistols. The difference I'm seeing is the ones that were topped seem to be ahead of the ones that were fimed. I topped two of them and one of the two I topped twice. I do believe the next time I will see I'mjjust top them. I did leave one of them without doing anything just to see the difference. I like to try different ways and see what works best for my style and for the strands that I am using. Definitely can't wait. They started new nutrients and so far doing well. Slowly easing them on. We'll see how they do and continue to move forward. Can't wait! So stoked. Happy growing my farming h
This week was the best week so far. My ladies doubled in size. They are now in full flowering and all my lol lovely ladies are doing Great we have switched to flowering nutrients and cranked up the lights. The new 4000 LED light is a monster as well .I can't wait to see how these autos do. So surprised at the results I'm getting from these lovely ladies. Still astonish to see autos at 3 ft tall. I will recommend a quality seed. Makes the grow so much easier. Each week is like watching a baby grow into an adult. Stay tuned. As always, I have a couple tricks up my sleeve to go ahead and fatten up the buds and really packing on the turps. Happy budding and as always, stay high
These ladies continue to grow so tall with no signs of slowing down ok stress or nutrient burns. I never knew the autos would get this tall!!! Is this normal for them? Not sure they continue to grow and bud. I'm going to keep moving. I know it's too late to top them again. All is well. I just don't know how much higher my lights can go. I have a very very large tent and it's almost to the top. Can't complain. We'll see how they turn out. Happy farming
The node spacing is not ideal but it could be that strain. It looks like you are passed the stretch faze now so they shouldn't stretch anymore. Could also be them not getting enough par light or the colour spectrum doesn't have enough blue. But most likely it's just a stretchy strain.
Has nothing to do with Height from lights. With FL the min rec distance is 45cm. With that and the ppfd.. you had to over been clocking over 700ppfd so more than enough to sustain a plant without causing a stretch.
The spectrum with your led. Is designed and set to a exact standard for all types of growth. Full spectrum. When you add a new light. You need to match the spectrum that is needed in said stage of growth. Blue MH would of served you better until you out of the danger window of tricking your plant into thinking its been out-shadow. Trust me. Its your added FL light.. go through Tropicana Todd's diaries. He used FL/ HIDS but used the right spectrum at the right stage and amazing results.
Next time. If you decide to add extra light from OG bulbs. Get a San light ballast kit Blue and red.
They look for the light and stretch, to fix this next time bring the light closer to them because in flowering they need stronger PPFD so they don't stretch like that download the PPFD meter 😎
I mean it looks like from the beginning they stretched and searched for the light. 🤔
So wow! This week they've really took off. They have breached for the stars there at the point where I had to low stress bend the tops to keep them from touching my lights. You can see this in some of the pictures. Also the full night was at 48 in these are monsters. Hoping that with a little bit of training and giving them stronger nutrients I can get them to fatten up the bud sites. I'm also going to go ahead and flush them tonight. Water flush first then an actual flush . Even though there's been no signs of nutrient burn or deficiencies, I do use a decent amount of products, but I'm cautious and how I use them. Happy budding and happy farming fam!
So a spin-off of my three week autos. Why they're growing above 45+ in. And even in veg my numbers were never below 700 at 24 in .Here are my PPFDs metered by the light at 14 inches in full flower mode, 100% power
Well happily these ladies finally stop stretching them legs. They're now starting to focus on fattening up, some default station has helped as well. Do appreciate everybody's input and can't wait till these. Continue to flower and produce there amazing gift. Little switch the focus on nutrients as well. And just watching and let them tell me what they need. Happy farming fam!
I greatly value everybody's opinion. The only thing I think I failed with is a little bit of leak through between the separation and my tent. They are on the same spectrum at the same levels. I just veg them a little longer so I can get them taller. Look at them now. Thanks every
Looks great, still needs some bulking weeks.
And light leaks are really of no consequence when growing auto flowers like this, so that isn’t a big deal, or even a deal at all.
This week is turning out fantastic. They just continue to pack on the way and thicken up. All is going well. They're expecting new trans gray and no signs of stress. Happy happy happy. We'll see what next week's brings. Happy farming fam!
Wow! These ladies have stretched their wings and filled in. Great. Looking good. Nice fat buds. Amazing tricombs see the magnified pictures. Can't wait to give her a try! Happy farming family
What's up? These are the ones that were stretching. I ended up tying the tops over and that's how I have such a large section of buds. I tied over about 12 in of it. They still stretch to over 50 in and that was with 12 inches being bent down. They are growing in so well. They smell so great. The turbines are amazing! And can't wait to see how they end up. Stick them and have to tie them up cuz they're too heavy and bending the stems as well. Almost done. Can't wait to get dried up
They are finally starting to pack on some weight and getting more dence. There on the last few weeks before they wrap it up. Trying to tame the stech and end up wrapping them down to themselves to keep off the lights. They just took off. Enjoyed the experience and learning from these beauties.
Happy farming family.
They've had their first flush. Only giving them a little bit of overdrive and some bud candy winning them off that now. Letting them pack on the terps and some poundage which as you see is bending The stock's pretty severely. and I've had two tie everything up. Least lovely ladies are about ready to hit the drying room. My next post they will be drying and then harvesting. Great time! Glad I have this set up and have another setup rolling on in . My second auto harvest. Can't wait to see what it brings. Happy farming family!
All I can say is? It was my second auto grow. Everything went verygood and I must say the smoke is phenomenal, nice euphoric head buzz then a nice chill body buzz about an hour later. Easy to grow!!! All my seeds germinated, definitely a A+ in my book. I will do be trying other types from this vender!!! Great seeds! Amazing strands smokes great and great high. Definitely will use seedman again. Facts facts
Overall, I must say this is a great autogrow one of my first couple autos. Still a little bit of a lining curve and unfortunately I like to hit him with a little too much light. So you got to lighten up on the light but the smoke is phenomenal. Would recommend to anybody. Hands down right before it then nice chill
