KA_LE - First time growing an auto, gonna give it a go outside during mid summer. - germinated nice and quick, and so far loving the cooler weather we've had recently. - using a mix of perlite and seed raising mix bought from the store.

KA_LE - Wow! so I decided to plant her in the ground today and while doing so I noticed very early pre-flowers already. I know it's an autoflower but I wasn't expecting it when the plant is still so small. - The spot iv planted her in gets more sun that the position she was in before so hopefully, this increases growth.

Grow Questions
KA_LE
KA_LEstarted grow question 6y ago
Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?

Yes it can be done, but in this case it's too late since the plant has reached sexual maturity (it has shown pistils) and will begin to flower and topping is not recommended at this point. Anyway, autos begin to flower once they have fully deployed the 5th pair of true leaves, so what you can do is to top repeatedly at the first node (similar to mainlining), that will keep the plant redeploying the first node, while multiplying the colas. The following video shows how it can be done, it has music only and some caption in spanish, although the video is sufficient to understand what the grower is doing: www.youtube.com/watch

KA_LE - Well, I decided to just let her be and not try topping her. yield will be low but should still be really nice, this was an experiment after all and I might try again soon with another auto. - Gave a watering with 1ml/L of PK nutes the help boost the bud.

autos are like not so much on a timer as in a sling shot, think like when they're in veg, they're taking all they can and storing energy (sort of like when you pull a slingshot back) and once they're ready they blow up in flower ( the release of the slingshot ) ... what you can do in veg to prolong the veg is any type of HST to shock the plant so it does stay in veg a bit longer. the other thing you can do is simply not give it enough light (my auto lasted almost 25 full weeks because it was getting less than 4 hours of light by the end of it). End of the day a soil grow needs light and water, but stressing the plant by witholding water will ruin your grow. So any high stress training is your best bet. HST = topping, plucking leaves, fluxing, FIMing .... hope this helps ! 🚀

@KA_LE, in the pics she's not flowering : she's ready to top, but if she's started flowering then yeah nothing you can do my friend....

@CRiSPrGrow, So because she has started flower now there isn't much I can do then and I should just let her do her thing as Mrs_Larimar suggested?
