First time doing autos! Wish me luck! Any tips would be great I am going to Do low stress training and not top or might test one by topping. Will be feeding biobizz.
Can I ask the auto growers would you advise topping? I’ve read I can top if they are growing well and around the end of week 3?
I’m in two minds whether to top say three of them or all as it is my first time with autos. I don’t want to regret not topping.
Any advice many thanks
Hey Growmie,
As an experienced autoflower grower, I would advise not to, for some reason when you top autos their buds don't get as dense compared to a plant that hasn't been topped. I would recommend LST they respond very well to it. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"
I topped the middle three to experiment and then LST the others.
I’m thinking 15l pots could have been a bad choice and wondering should I have went smaller. But making sure pots are drying out before next watering.
Hi can anyone advise on this? Brown spots on fan leaves that has spread to the tip today.
I have been going easy on nutes as I use all mix and root juice. I am starting grow next water and bloom next week.
Ph to 6.3
Night temp 21 and day temp 26-29
Watering wet dry (not over)
I topped three of these and one of them looks really good responded really well. Glad I gave it a go anyway.
I lst some more today to open them up.
Does anyone defoil autos at any stage?
I’m still light on biogrow and starting bloom soon.
One had brown spots on the older fan leaves so I gave some cal mag with that watering.
I will be starting bloom next feed.
I’m not sure what to think of autos. The lack of control is scary. So vegging up my next original feminised seeds. I just watered today so will get better pics up 2Moro as they look a bit droopy.
Next feed I will be increasing bloom.
And I have been looking at others and they seem to leave as much leaf on until around week 8 so I will follow this.
Lower leaves yellowing a bit. The root ph seems too high so I am ph’ing down to 5.8 for a few waterings.
I have only been taking a few dead leaves off and will remove a few week 8.
Usually I defoil b4 the switch with normal seeds. But told to keep as much on as the autos not as forgiving.
The smell already is amazing.
I have been having issues. I think a combination of heat stress and overwatering. I’m not too sure. I adjusted ph right down to 5.8 for a few waterings.
I then added alg a mic (which I should have done sooner). As they have improved.
The buds are swelling nicely.
I am starting the flush just today.
Very worries about the leaves brown tallow and crispy I’m hoping it won’t spread to the bud.
Tried fixing the ph but really considering hydro within the year as there is so much more control. I find with soil you never really know what’s happening in the pot. I may have overwatered last week but I made sure to rectify.
These smell amazing.
Flushed from last week. Not much g per plant. But the smell is amazing.
My first time doing autos. They are less forgiving and can’t train the way I usually do. I topped 3 plants which allowed for more airflow. I should have just topped them all.
