(MSNL Auto OG) First time and heard autos stay small and produce a little bit enough for ones self. So I gave this strain a try lets see how it goes. Two beans where smashed during transit so I lost a couple right off the bat kind of sucks really. I have some auto OG, each one is at a different age. White pot is 8 days old 5gal black pots are 7 days old 3 gal.......noticed a one leaf is kind of messed up but not bad at all, going to see if other leaves follow. and the smaller one is 3 days 3 gal All dates are from 1st day popped out of shell not germinated as it took only 12-24 hours to germinate and a day to pop out of the shell. Germination temps where almost a steady 72 degrees f paper towel and baggy method. 400 watt HPS flowering bulb with an additional a 400 watt full spectrum LED for 3rd week on up, Or I have two 75 watt LED light bar full spectrum grows for sides to get more light in the middle..I'm Interested in hybrid systems Small 3x3 space with 8 foot ceiling height fan cooled for air flow with assisted air conditioning in room. average temps 83/87 The white pot is a 5 gal , while the black pots are 3 gal. (trying to see if the size pot matters with autos) I am using organic ferts like bone meal, dried kelp, blood meal, its in the soil already with microbes and added perlite. Black gold soiless potting mix. I am not using molasses quite yet. I will wait till week 4-5 to add cal mag, and some organic rose food. It is low in nitrogen but 7-7 potash and potassium.

I know that once a plants seed shell causes any deformity in the leaves, it tends to continue through out the life of the plant. Number two is in the black pot and is smaller by half a node and half the size, it also has twisted leaves with some bad spots, it seems to be the same as the one messed up from the shell. but on every node and only one leaf. I also noticed its stem tends to be purplish while the others are not. Genetics has to play a role there. Same soil and light. The 3rd one is smaller however it is also a week behind all the others. I will say it is right with the biggest ones growth pattern. I might have two good genetics. I added a little root stim with 7,10,5 nute levels, but I used only a few drops in a drinking water bottle or about a half a cap full . In two days they doubled their size. I was worried about there size being only 3 inches high in the middle of the week then BAM! they both took on at least 2 inches and up to 3 inches in 3 days. It might have been a growth spurt between root formation. Who knows I will start adding organic nutes this week coming. These guys tend to be real temperamental with watering but not heat. They seem to be pretty heat tolerant.. I started to water every two days and it is two much. Therefore I go ever 3 days with about 6 ounces of water a piece except the week old one, she gets just enough to wet the soil and sink in a little around it. There isnt any smell yet as the terpenes haven't even been produced yet so it might be another week to a week and a half before I smell them. I am still inexperienced, but I am knowledgeable . I have 175 watt red/blue spec grow light going along with a 400 watt HPS flowering spectrum going and One fan and a small area. It is for myself. I am doing this because we keep getting tainted buds here with something else in it. Not cool and kind of ..... u p. Like CBD buds with phyntenol or good buds with that shit in it or molly. If it was legal everywhere there would be no reason to get tainted stuff that will kill you. Like your prized tomato garden, you know whats in it and it is safe.

Notice LST is done on number 1 it is white 5 gal pot none of the other have low stress training done ...they stretched (number 1 and 2) 4.5 inches in 3 days. a little nutes used and i mean a little like a pinch of a rose bloom with crazy numbers like 10.56.35. But they love it to death at 20 days from 8 days it went from 6 inches to 16.5 inches and almost 20 inches wide(number 1) number two had a little LST done but decided to let it grow natural after week two photo to see what the difference is with LST and letting it grow natural.. But I seen how much bigger and fuller (the LST number one) These autos are the best I could imagine. I seen some real bad grows in auto's. I am inexperienced so I have no idea if this growth rate is normal or not. If they should be bigger or not I dont know. I know I could almost acually see these grow. lately 2.5 inches a day.

This week the smell is much stronger than the last. They are now finally done growing. The buds seemed to stall for 3 days once little buds started to form. So i switched the lights on to 13 on and they are bursting everywhere and gaining size. Cant wait to see the next weeks results. It is 5 weeks and 4 days now.. So far my experience has showed me that auto's still need a shorter flower light cycle. At least with these ladies.

Number two... The furthest black pot one.... Is still stretching... Why? Its forcing me to raise the light.. Its now at almost 51 inches... While the others are smaller in height...this number 2 is still stretching while producing flower... A 50 inch indica dominant is awesome.

Hi @BrownRecluse! That plant is probably asking for more light, I think your coverage is not perfect yet and 1 centered HID is not enough for 2 monsters. Stop raising the light up and start pulling the plant down, by using strings or any other support. Consider supercropping if you reached your maximum available height. Otherwise, think of a better light coverage for your next run, some LED panels/boards could have a better penetration and a lower consumption. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing! 👊

Marijuana, no matter the strain, shows a very strong apical dominance, unless TOPed or trained and once you hit the stretch (3 to 4 weeks into flower), the main top will outgrow all other colas. At this point I would strongly recommend applying supper cropping to the main cola to keep it at the same height of the other tops. Also for HID lights, you should have around 60 watts per sq ft; less than that and plants will stretch looking for more light.

I also recommend to tie her before its too late. Bend her gently till the main stem is nearly horizontal to even her with the other bigger plant. If nothing helps you also can consider to cut her top but that´s to try as a last resort. Take some cord and a weight or tie it to your pot and bend her down, preferred to the middle of tent. Raising your light higer affects all other ladies who maybe don´t get enough light.

Well i noticed a little nute burn on lower leaves. So i will just add water until i see signs of def. Or a need for nutes. I noticed the plant doesnt seem to stop stretching. It did slow down for a day and i thought it stopped.. Im really hoping they fill in. They are way to airy. But all i want is a head bag. . So im not worried about how big a load i get. Im a newbie and i wanted to try it. Sick of all the laced cbd crap going around so.. This is safer.

Well this week is going to be double the size... Excited.. Smell is sour like a bad glass of milk and skunk with a hint of fruity sweetness. They look like they might fill in nicely... But why is the hairs look like velcro.....?

This week i noticed some swelling and orangish hairs on about 15 percent of the buds. The smell is less greeny and more pungent. Noticing more nutrition burn. But this week and next week is all flushing so. Dont know why everything says to flush.. But if thats the game so be it. Noticing the no low stress trained plant is fatter (cola) with fatter buds than the low stress trained plant however smaller buds but more of them so they might actually equal out lst plant is just shorter. Ive looked at alot of autoflowers and og specifically and noticed mine seem to be bigger and produced much more than white widow auto and cookie glue auto.

The overall experience was delightful. It was easy, fast and yield was great. The smell is strong and sour. They grew high. 58 inches actually. They are sensitive to light and nutrients. And starve each other out in small spaces. Great high and good genetics on 2 of the 3. The 3rd one was dying out from light starvation.
