This is more of an experiment at this point, to show the sheer abuse that auto can/cannot take. This kind of auto crop took me by surprise, so I decided Week 4 to throw everything at it. I felt a had little choice. Basically, 4 RQS Northern Light auto seeds (same package, fresh) were planted giving 4 crazy different results. One grew over 3 feet in 3 weeks, one never grew past a seedling for 3 weeks, one grew normally (bushy, 12"), while the last was spindly and stretched too much. At this point, I've managed to keep all 4 but the varying heights make even lighting nearly impossible. I dont SCROG. Not because its bad, I just don't. I've done about 7 auto runs with this setup and I just let them go. The life cycle is so short, just letting them grow, tucking leaves seemed to yield an OZ plant (even with this strain). But after the monster in my tent grew, I had to tie her down. I did this all on a whim of sorts. First off, I topped them all in week 3. I've never topped an auto before but I figured to get an even canopy I had to start somewhere. Using my advanced tomato techniques(LOL), I began making a web of string in my tent to force the branches horizontal at week. Literally bending the monster in half. Spreading it all out in the ghetto SCROG. The other plants were still smaller but nearing the height of the largest plant. Over the next couple weeks I just did the best I could, bending emergent branches under and around my string mess. One plant (The stretchy gal), I even broke one of the tops clean off it, while screaming "what is this?! amatuer hour?!" The stunted seeding plant has now taken flight and looks like a weirdo, but healthy. All the while watching YouTube videos on these amazing SCROG nets people use (wtf). Their lives are easier, i'm sure..... They seem a bit behind. The monster is in full preflower and the others are just now in week 6 showing female characteristics (pistils, etc). I'm a bit worried that they are stunted from my overt abuses but they have never stopped growing. Never a bad leaf even; even on the little weirdo. So here we are, SCROGging, topping, LST/HST. All in the most haphazard way, seat-of-your-pants style growing. Hopefully, it turns out well and a strange flowering journey will unfold.....

This is the most unpredictable auto flowers I've ever had. It will be 50 days soon and only preflower on one plant. Ive used a 12/12 light schedule on autos before. Should I try this on these plants? If, so keep it 12/12 untill the end? No turning back to 20/4 when they go?

I see a trained Plant in Preflowers. There is no Need to Keep 12/12 on her. She will go into full Flower soon, and love the Minimum of 18 Hours. I see you topped and trained the Plant, that will be the reason for alittle later Flower than usually, but shes in the " timewindow" to Flower. No reason to be sad, she just does what she can do. If you trrain those Plants you delay her alittle. But Training and topping bring her a open canopy with some nicely exposed budsites

Day 70 and I have a plant that has preflower stretched for almost 4 weeks now. No bud sites or pistils really and is massive. 4 auto seeds, same strain. All crazy different, all very different needs. Pull it, keep it, defoliate hand sized leaves, 12/12? Grows 2close to light

hi Bezzy@, your plant should not be automatic, some phenotypes of some strains of automatic plants show stability problems and are not autos, they are feminized. you will have to change to 12h / 12h for it to start flowering. in order not to harm the other automatic plants wait until they have the best shaped and fattest buds and put on 12/12 the last 2-3 weeks. I already finished the last weeks of several automatic plants at 12h / 12h and I never felt harmed in the harvest for that. good luck mate 👍

Looks like you're gonna have a nice crop there! Same thing happened to me with the uneven growth. It was just uncontrollable! Even with wire! I got a monster too, and it's fantastic! This strain is THE BEST!

Fair to say the genetics of RQS Nl has gone a bit haywire, having the same issues in my grow with 2 completly different looking plants 😂 shame as the small one is a little beauty, but the tall plant is becoming a monster 😂 all good fun, keep up the good work 👍
