Looks a bit dry in bigger pots like that I like to pick them up to see how heavy the pot is which lets you know when to water if it's heavy you wait if light water/feed.

27-01-2020 Day of the harvest.
-I can´t post weight, flavour and all this stuff yet because I want them to be dry before weighing it and obviously to try it. I will upload it when finish it.
12-02-21 PRUNING DAY. They have being drying for two weeks and now I will divide them in jars.
This is amazing, I've never though I could get 195 grams of my first grow ever.
It was an incredible experience and I'm going to repeat it as soon as possible.
Bud´s shape are very different depending on which plant belong to. My favorite one is the Northern Lights 3. I got 33 grams from this one, it was topped y accident because it broke when I tried to adjust the LST but it was the one that gave me more quantity. With this experience I can say that, at least this seed, can stand a topping without losing a gram of production.
I didn't try the real buds, because I'm going to waut at least for 2 weeks but I've tried the trim and it's really good. I'm very bad at detecting flavors and all this stuff so don't believe me a lot with the things you see regarding it.

-This was my first grow ever and I can´t be more happy about it. I grew 7 healthy plants and it was an amazing experience. Plants weren´t sick at any moment (Maybe they had a little deficiency but that´s all) and I´m getting ready to grow another 5 or 6 for the next time.
-I obviously made some mistakes during the growing. I didn't watered them well, I mean, I should have watered them more, with more quantity. I've never watered any plant with more than 1.5 liters even though they are in 18L pots.
-They all have different shapes because at the beginning I didn't know how to properly do the LST. For the next time I want them to be more similar.
-due to the lack of water I don't know if the roots were fully developed, maybe for the next time, with more water, I could get stronger roots and also bigger plants.
-I've topped two plants. One by accident and the other one because I wanted to see how different she could grow. These two are the ones with heavier, big and dense buds. I couldn't tell if I didn't topped them I could get these buds and I don't really know if it's a good thing to top auto plants but (Every web I checked about topping it wasn't recommended) I'm happy with these two, they are not very tall and they have the flatest canopy of the grow
Next time I will grow 5 Crystal Candy Auto XL, from Sweet Seeds.
At the beginning of this grow I was an absolutely noob but thanks to your help and what I have researched all this time I managed to grow these 7 wonderful plants. With this we prove that even though you are a noob you can get good productions if you take care well of them. Don´t be afraid of growing, it is an amazing experience and it is very satisfying to smoke what you have grown
THANKS EVERYBODY WHO HELPED ME HERE, EVEN IF YOU JUST ANSWER A QUESTION OR JUST COMMENTED WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MY GROW WAS VERY HELPFUL AND I APPRECIATE IT A LOT.

looks like a temperature issue. Too hot? They look quite healthy tho. Try to swap their position, to spot out possible wet areas. It is quite normal to bend down after 3 hours without light

Hello everybody, this is my first grow so that's why i have so many doubts. One guy told me that my plants are short for being 6 weeks old. They are 6 weeks old since they started to germinate. Do you think they should be bigger? What do you think I did wrong? Thank you!

Hi there, Your plant are looking fine and healthy to me in everyway.I only recommend to train her well to become bushy and bigger.Exposed your lower growth by tucking fan leaves or tie down.Don’t let the main stem to grow vertically.Adjust your LST eveyday and make the plant an even canopy.Always adjust your water pH, ppm and check run off.Always maintain wet/dry circle between each watering.In that way, you will have a happy ending.Happy Growing... ✌️

Hi friends! Do you think my plants are doing it okay? I mean, we are on day 46th and there's no sign of flowering I think. Maybe i did any mistake? It's my first grow but I'm trying to be very careful and I don't understand why they are so late. Any comment is welcome. Thanks <3

Hallo,
Is wel best lang 7 weken maar het kan zijn dat je je plant wat stress hebt gegeven via lst of ontbladering en daar door de bloei wat is uitgesteld.Maar ze zit in de voorbloeifase nu als ik het goed zie,dus de bloei is eigenlijk gestart.
Ik heb dit ook tegengekomen met een plant van mij die nu weken achter komt op de rest doordat ik haar nog wat ontbladerd had juist voor de bloeifase begon,is ook nog maar mijn 2e kweek,maar je planten zien er verder wel gezond uit.Doe zo verder👍😉

Hi there!
Looks like you have done some training to her and this can delay the start of flower and sometimes autoflowers don't carry the auto gene and you need to treat them as photoperiod plants but I don't think that's the case with you tho. Don't worry tho, she's already showing her pistils and it means that she's going to flower soon enough.
She looks healthy but slight pale green shade in top growing parts but that's quite common for this stage so nothing to worry about just yet

What's wrong with these leaves? I defoliate them because they seemed a little bit ill but maybe it's because they are the lower leaves and so they are weaker? I don't know. Could you please help me? Thanks a lot!

Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
Nothing to worry about, it looks to me as damage caused by rubbing against the fabric pot when your fan is going. No need to stress, growing 100% perfect plants with 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time, is not achievable. You are on a journey of discovery and on the path of constant learning. Each grow will get easier, but little mistakes, which everyone makes, will teach you what not to do in the future. Like most things in life, it is not about what to do, but about what not to do. Your plants look healthy and happy and you should be excited at the thought of finally having some home grown stash, made with your very own knowledge and total quality control over what your plants are receiving throughout their life cycle. Hope this helps.... Organoman.
PS - try leaving your healthy leaves alone. They are making all the energy for your plant to grow its best. Removing healthy leaves reduces your plants ability to make this magical "grow energy". I recommend only removing leaves once they have gone a yellow colour, by then they have fully served their function.
Good luck and happy growing.
Mr_Gezetastarted grow question 4 years ago
Check my last week pls.
What should I do now? I want to improve the yield now we are in flowering stage. Could you give me your best tips to improve the yield at this stage? They are autoflowers, that's why I cannot do much for training them. Every comment will help. Thanks a lot

In flower most training should stop with the exception of supercropping if necessary. The only think would be a PK booster or you can raise temps and supplement with co2. 🤘😤

I agree with dodrugs and stress the concept of less is more with feeding. Don't feed full nutrient strength. I disagree on training autos because you're a new grower. Let them be and show true expression. Most auto growers try too much. Most auto genetics do weird things when stressed. There are exceptions but you're a rookie. Make your first grow an enjoyable one by avoiding doing too much.
Good luck

1st, dont get to harvest out of breeder timetables, you harvest with mostly milky trichomes if u want it to be a head high, and mostly amber trichomes if u want a more sedative high, the later will also improve the yield.
2nd, don't overdo it on nutrients, auto's need less than photos and will do fine with using half the dosage as the max ever given dosage.
3rd, train your auto's prior to entering flower, auto's recover from well performed training pretty quick, so if you do it well she will recover in 1 to 2 days.
4th, water more often or with a bigger water volume, this will suposedly make the plant not turn cristals amber so quickly wich allows for better crystal conservation while she is still growing.(this one is highly debatable)
5th, using a pk booster from the 3rd week of flower onwards will help your nugs fatten up more, even if they get slight damage to the leafs they will grow in size more, just remember 2nd point when you do it.

@Mr_Gezeta, @ there age I would expect 2liters would be about right maybe a bit more picking them up is an easy way to determine when and how much to water

@Fitzy971, oh thanks! Yes maybe it's a bit dry. I watered them with 350ml each on Sunday. Maybe they need more because the water doesn't reach the bottom at all.

Keep up the wonderful progress. Looking good for a first time plant. Soon the buds will start to swell and leafs will start dying off as the buds are taking all the nutrients left in the plant. Be sure to keep her well fed. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!!

@Mr_Gezeta, leave problem is nutrient deficiency, it it probably lockout through nutrient overdose, try lowering dose or only watering for one week (don't water too much). When new leaf looks healthy, problem is solved and you can contintue your grow
