This girl popped out so fast. I soaked her and put her straight into coco. She's in her final pot so let's see what this auto can do. This is my first auto plant and I'm extremely excited to see what happens. I won't be training her like I have the rest. I have NOT started nutrient feeds but listed what I will be using during veg once she's a bit bigger.

This girl is taller than the other one but I've seen this strain before, it grows kinda weird. I placed her in the plastic pot as it's smaller. Hopefully to restrain her a bit. Definitely going to me a tall one.

Shooting out, growing fast, bending has begun for the lower parts to suck up some sun. No nutrient burn except where I sometimes let it fall on a leaf by accident.

This one is stretching for the sun. White hairs appearing. While this girl looks good, I'm just not sure if autos are my thing as I enjoy training a plant. Autos are so independent, the only thing I did was bend her for light (sun)

I have seen double growth this week. Budsites all formed and a lil preflowering action going on here. The plant grows really fast but the entire structure of the plant just isn't what I'm used to seeing with photoperiod plants. Let's see what an auto can do...

Pistils are out and ready to bud. This is my first auto and I'm guessing she won't grow much bigger as she started flowering. Not sure if autos are for me. I love larger trees.

Not growing too much, she's bushing out and other stems are catching up slowly. She's nicely spread of to soak up the sun.

Putting on weight slowly but surely. Let's see what happens in the next month before she gets harvested.

I am a bit concerned about this girl as I noticed foxtailing. I'm not too sure if it foxtailing but the buds are maturing very differently than the other auto I have. Let's see what happens.

Starting the flush from this week. So harvest is in 2 weeks. Checked with the loupe and the trichomes are half clear. Excited. I trimmed this girl last week and chopped off a bud by accident. Smoked it and boy oh boy.

If you're in coco start with at least 1/4 strength nutes right away. There's nothing in the coco for her to eat!! Poor baby :) Lemon AK grows fast and strong (and tall) with the right environment. Good luck.

@bosgrower I took the tip and she has been healthy since. Thanks a lot.

@GGrows, 25%-50% depending on what you use should do the trick. Some initial Cal Mag is fine for coco but it's not nutrition :)

@bosgrower thanks for the tip. The coco is treated with calmag before I plant them. I soak them in a bath of calmag. Just scared to give them nutes. Do you think I should though? Don't wana kill her. Lol

@GGrows, you mention that since she has started to flower she won't grow much more. Autos, unlike a regular plant, do what is called the stretch while they are flowering. The buds will start to grow up "stack" and the branches will keep getting taller for a while yet. Don't give up on them, just need a few grows behind you. Outside, in good conditions, with proper feeding, in a 5 or 7 gal pot can yield upward of 1/2 Lb. That is an exceptional grow but it is being done. Also, if you are looking for a bigger plant, take a look at some of the Super Autos. All the folks above are correct, she needs to eat. If you feed her she will grow. As they say above just cut the recommended amount by half or a third, as the plants get some feedings and thing look good, you can up the percentage. But watch them and make sure the PH is right 6.3 is fine. And I would also keep using the Cal mag with each feeding. Best of luck, she looks good you should do fine.

@amazingautoflowers thanks dude. I have fed her since getting that info and don't worry lol won't give up on her. I just prefer photoperiod plants. I enjoy growing a big plant. Thanks for the advice and I will see how it goes but I'm 80% decided not to grow autos again. Everything else is exactly as you said.
