Looks like it is slow out the gate, will auto pick up speed after more fan leaves come in? Compared to other grows, looks like I’m behind, not sure

Hey there 👋 I honestly wouldn’t worry too much. She’s got leaves coming in and they will help her photosynthesize. Growth is slow in the beginning. Give her 2-3 weeks and you see sudden growth. Welcome to a new and addictive hobby! Happy Growing 🌱

Just starting on week three for this rookie, giving light nutes on every third watering now. Not sure if I’ll give calmag every watering. So far so good. Going to slowly lst too

Grow Questions

Newfie80started grow question 5 years ago
Anyone ever have a plant veg as long as this? It’s an auto so why 2 month veg? Pistils are just showing now at day 69 so I guess I still got another 55 days till harvest. So much for being an auto, more like a photo except I don’t have to change the light schedule.

Привет, друг! 👋 Да, действительно, твоя девочка долго идёт к цветению и я знаю почему так произошло! Всё из-за слишком высоких концентраций азота (N) в тканях растения! 10 неделя (2 и 4 фото) явно видна передозировка азотом, листва слишком зелёная, она отливает на свету как бархатная! Это не критическая передозировка, т.к. растение не проявляет признаков дефицита фосфора (P). Решение проблемы: Сделай ph полива 6,3ph. Чтоб твоя девочка быстрее цвела, рекомендую изменить в поливе добавку NovaGro - 0.2ml/l , все остальные добавки делай столько, сколько делал в 10 неделе! С такой дозировкой азота твоя девочка будет цвести быстрее и удивит тебя скоро своим потенциалом цветения! 👌 Я уверен в этом бро! У тебя красиво растение, продолжай за ним ухаживать и оно тебя отблагодарит своим урожаем! Продолжай делиться с сообществом своими успехами и достижениями, бро! Для нас это важно! 👍 Удачи, друг! ✊😇

So I guess this long veg is because I got some feminized seeds instead of auto, they said it was auto but j switched 12/12 and she flipped to flower right away after 6 days

Chugging along here now, half way through flower I suspect, still learning as I go, hopefully she will fatten up real big, but realistically just want to be done now, taking so long!!

This is a looooong ass auto grow my friend, it's cool you stuck with it. She looks good though, massive. Question...are you still doing 12/12? I've never grown autos but from what I've seen people typically run a veg light cycle the entire time, it's one of the benefits of an auto, faster growth. Cheers

Newfie80commented5 years ago
@BermudaCower, yes this was supposed to be an auto but would not flip on own so I went 18-6 from 20-4, and still nothing so I then went 12-12 and then she started to flower, don’t know if it’s me or genetics but just keeping her on that now till finish. I have a pile of auto seeds I’m sitting on, waiting for this to be done and move on lol
