All seeds would have germinated, five of each if I hadn’t knocked over a cup. They are taking off so quickly and I do love germination. Totally new to auto flowers and first mistake made: planting in small cups rather than final container. For that reason I’ll transplant them to their 1 gallon final home in about a week to go into a new tent I’m setting up. They’re under LED plant bulbs until then. There’s about a four day difference between GG/BD and LP planted afterwards once I decided to get the new larger tent. I’m looking forward to discovering how autoflowers grow knowing I’m already going to take a hit on productivity from transplanting. I’ve been reading up a lot. It’s thrilling to move into perpetual grow mode with two operations happening at once, the maturing and happy White Widows from the second grow and this new one. Curious to see what my final preference is, feminized or auto. Thanks for reading!

Hi experts. Use of space - new tent (4′x4′) under 450W and germinated 13 auto seeds, my lucky 13, in 11L pots. New to autos. Now looking at it, i think it’s going to get too crowded in there. I can scrog to keep some control. Should I keep all 13? Thanks, experts!

I have 3 autos in my 4x4 and there's no space. You'll have a full canopy already so there's nothing to scrog really. I would just lollipop, hard. You're gonna end up with more of a sog canopy. With photos, you could've just flipped when they were all 5", but in this case they'll bloom whenever they want. Personally, I would cut it down to 9 plants at the most. It'll save you a lot of headaches and you're still going to get the same yield in the end. Best of luck my friend!!

Brother. These fast Buds are done by week 10 or 11 the most. 13 weeks is way to long. These are autos not photos. I made that mistake my first fastbuds grow. 10 weeks from seed and done

Great looking grow my friend! I had the exact same issue with my gorilla cookies. The leaves all turned yellow VERY early. But, I still managed to push her to the ripening stage although I was very nervous with next to no fan leaves left. Still, the buds ended up green and smelled fanfuckingtastic!

@ChuckShady,same for me in the end. I think it’s about fertilizing too early. They don’t really need anything in early weeks. Glad you got great results too!!

hmmm you are doing ph water between feeds? i've been feeding every time which is every other day. I had amazing sucess with this last grow but its interesting to see you are doing it only once a week!
Superjd
Superjd
@MrHightimes,thanks. I really question whether nutrients are needed in the first three weeks. The soil is already hot. But yours are doing more than fine!

Nice Journal! Having just got through a similar grow that yellowed early and stressed me out only to come out ok was fun to read! Was also fun to see your grow b/c I have GCs growing now!!!! I did a 1gal grow and while it was a nice yeild seeing how much more i got off 2 gals, I'm now trying 3gal! Will you be growing in bigger pots next?
Superjd
Superjd
@MrHightimes,thanks a ton. Just saw your grow and it’s looking great. I get the impression that 3 gals is ideal. I’m trying some photosensitive Blue Dream now in a 5 gallon with some more autoflower seeds on the way from Fastbuds.

@Fast_Buds, so far so good! Looking pretty damn big for 3 weeks! Curious to know when they’ll kick into flower, guessing another week from reading online.

Great start👍 I use solo cups as well , but I use two, cut the bottom off one cup and make a cut from top to bottom of the same cup, then put the cup with the slice and no bottom into a untouched cup and fill with soil. When the time comes to transplant, remove outer cup, place inner cup in the hole of your bigger container and remove, the plant doesn't even know it was transplanted. Hope this helps👊 Grow Big!!
