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

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 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

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

If you have light leak stick with autos and you should be fine.

Bigger pots, bigger plants, thats really simple. Can agree, they need bulking part, so you are 3-4 weeks away from lovely harvest.

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.
