The plants really took off after starting the training, within 5 days the critical almost filled the pot. The Royal cookies is still growing tall, but is now starting to show more growth from the lower nodes every day.
The day after boxing day the ladies had their first topping! I was nervous not to mess anything up but one clean cut with a brand new pair of scissors and it was done, I've lowered their nutrients for the next couple of days while they recover.
Thanks!
I'm thinking heat stress from the light being too close, they're looking abit better since I've raised the light so, fingers crossed.
Yeah sorry about the LED pics! I was meant to start my diary on day one but I never got round to it, so these are the only pics I have up untill now.
I hope mine do too π I just hope I can reach the harvest with both plants intact π
@PigBearMan, yeah that's what I've been reading, people say they lack THC content and also flavour, and alot of people also say that's not true as autos are getting better and better. I have seen 1 guy get his flower tested and it was hitting 25/26% which is great but for me flavour is the most important thing πͺ so I think I need to smoke some autoflower and make my decision lol
@Popeye,
For me and every grower I know in real life Autos are only for growing outdoor or if you don't have any experiences in growing. I know some dudes who grew Autos for the first time. Think Big, Auto Gorilla Glue, Auto Ultimate... No strain really tasted great. You always taste the fuggin' Ruderalis...But they yield pretty okay. π
I mean...24/0? Serious? I could grow you some Haze with that energy...π
Hope you enjoy your grow tho. π
I might add that many people, like myself, grow Auto's due to a lack of space and wanting to utilize a closet. They don't grow as tall or stretch as much as a photos. This allows for me to maximize my harvest utilizing a small amount of space. Check out my week 2 video of the closet setup if interested.
@Zannabis7, just checked the video! What a set up man! π My tent is only 1x1m so space is an issue for me too. I have only used a vaporizer once, It was the storz and bickel mighty. I tried stardawg on it and it tasted better than any joint I've ever smoked!
I hear you. The benefit of autos is they produce fast as you can give them light 24/0 and they will still flower. Often done in 8 weeks with this lighting schedule. Best wishes.
I burn everything I grow in a quality vaporizer and to me, the taste is great. While I certainly wouldn't say it tastes as good as SOME photos, I find the taste to be exceptional through a vaporizer set to the right temperature.

Looking good so far. Whats with the leafs? Wind damage? Or heat stress? Whats your RH? 60% would be perfect in this phase.
BTW, could you take pics without LED light? Would help us to give you tips. :)
I hope my eyes pop out when you harvest and take pics. π
Stay green.
@diamondtrichomes, really good so far! I've added cal-mag to my solution and I'm seeing no other signs of a deficiency anywhere else on the plants. Their topping went great too it's been around 5 days, their new growths are getting bigger everyday and looking healthy π
Hello,
When you grow automatic strains on a small scale you will find that your percentage of Ruderalis phenotypeS with low terpenes and low thc ARE too great compare to the good one...
Sadly this is the give and take deal for flowering cannabis without light reduction...
If your THC tolerance is low great, but if not.... you will cringe thinking what you could have grown with 2 more weeks only...π
