If your Automatic Lady shows some Preflowers its time to cahnge the Light into " Flowering moder. I would recommend you a circle between 18 and 24 Hours with Light.18 is the Minimum and 24 the Max. You can let her run 24/7 but i think everyone needs a Time to Rest a little, a Plant too.I personally give them Most Time 20/4 and some Flowers 22/2 . Check out what is for you / your PLant the Right Lightdosage. Happy growing

Everything still going good. She's definitely taking her time. This is day 42 since germination. The ph problem is gone. Did a little defoliating. Never bothered with lst, decided since this was my first time growing I was just going to let her do her thing and learn from my mistakes.

Not really sure what the issue is with the brown spots on the leaves. The ph of the water is 6.5. I've upped the calmag a bit. I think and maybe I'm wrong I wasn't giving enough water when I watered, no run off, causing nute lock on the roots? Did a thorough flush mid week and changed the watering schedule to 1 gallon every 24 hours if needed. The ph of the run off is 6.5. Buds are getting bigger and they're firm and sticky. Getting impatient and excited.

Not much change in the past week. Buds are still getting fatter, still no trichomes showing. Thinking at least a couple more weeks.

Well I'm on day 68. Buds are still fattening up. Trichomes are mostly clear but they are just starting to change. How long does it usually take from this point? Just giving it straight water now. Leaves look horrible and this literally happened over night. Covered in brown spots. Is this normal for this stage of growth? Looking like maybe another week or so. Any advice would be helpful at this point.

87 days. Thinking I'll probably chop tomorrow. About a 33/33/33 mix of clear, cloudy and amber trichomes. The citrus smell is absolutely incredible.

This was my first time time growing so really a good learning experience. I didn't have any real problems and decided not to to do anything but let her grow on her own. This was a beautiful plant that that grew very large dense buds. Just the second day of drying so I'll update the dry amount before curing. I did dry a bud on our pellet stove, had to try it, and yes it's very strong. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice along the way!
