First photo :
For the moment I don't have my tent available so I grow them with a shitty visiosun led in my livingroom.
I did a big mistake with my pot size, they are way too small even for early versions. So I did what you are never supposed to do with auto : repotting.
Second photo :
1 day after the repotting in 5 gallon they seems happy. I putted them in my tent with my good bavagreen lamp. It is going way faster.
I will not use any fertilizer at veg stage since my substract is miracle grow 0.21-0.11-0.16
Hello ! I used a 0.21-0.11-0.16 substract. When do you think I'll need to feed my autos ?
Current week : 3
Strain : sugar black roses fast
Fertilizers : Biobizz
Thanks !😀
Hey friend ,
I would start feeding them small doses and see the reaction . If you see the leaf tip turning a bit yellow- orange and dry , it means it’s too much for them .
But small doses , 1/4 of the recommended dose of them , it wouldn’t hurt them I suppose .
Really important is to water them with proper pH levels so they can’t access all the nutrients balanced !
Keep it up 👍

Beginning of the 4rd week :
Waited for 2 days after repotting. They seemed happy with the new light and grow way faster. I decided to start my LST. Bit preocupied by the leaves touching the substract.
I would echo some of the other responses here and say that it's a bit early to start LST - which is why your leaves are touching the soil 😊 Typically, you want to wait until the plant has about 5 nodes (intersections where the 2 branches come out of the stalk).
This will give the plant enough time to put some distance between your lowest set of branches, and the soil. Doing so will help avoid potential leaf rotting issues.
I recommend letting them straighten up a bit and letting them put some space in there before continuing. placing objects and such in the pot only makes things harder as you go for watering and relocation if needed (usually not planned but does happen, from room to room or place to place).
You can take a look at my current diary for GG#4 auto if you'd like to see an example :)
Cheers mate!

Hope this helps!
Thanks for you wonderful advice guys. Just one plant had some trouble with the transplanting and the lst . She has strange colour and shape. I stopped all LST on her and will let her grow quietly.
Mid 5th week : do not know what I should do. Leaves are touching soil since it is very bushy. It is hars to continue lst without defoliating :/
Monday : They are growing slowly but surely. I'll stop hard lst from now and let them grow. They were supposed to be fast version but take more time than expected lol.
I change the configuration of plants, they are not in the same place anymore.
Saturday : Ok what a week. So they showed some nitrogen deficiencies (extremity of leaves starting to yellow). Because my soil were rich, I haven't fed her since the beginning. So I gave her some biobizz fertilizers and oh boy they were hungry. They started growing like hell.
So I built some screen to do a simili scrog. I defioliated some of the lower leaves. I unfortunatly broke the apex of one of my prettier cutie trying to bend it to much (wanted to cry lol). Will update next week to see how they recover.
Ok so I was really impressed with the resistance of these girl for autos. But I was bit surprised why they were not going into flowering.
So I double checked on the strain, and even if they are crossed with a ruderalis, THEY ARE NOT AUTOFLOWER. What a plot twist lol, realising I've maybe smoked to much.
Anyway I passed them in 12-12 today (Monday) and activated RED on my bava. Bit scared of the stretch
Friday : I watered with on;y a bit of calmag
Ok so I have the one that I broke my apex who is stetching hard compare to the others. Hope it will stop soon lol.
I had so nute burn but they need Nitrogen during stretch (can see it by the yellowish color), so I flushed one time and will give them only 1ml per liter.
Big defoliation. Hope I did not traumatize them too much. I cuted all the lower leaves and the stems who could not have any light.
I'll no0t defoliate more for the moment, next time will be popcorn buds
Stretching is finishing. Waiting 2-3 more days to give them far red.
Continuing to defoliate some of the branches who have not enough light.
Watering two times a week : one flush water and one biobizz (1ml for the moment, gonna increase when stretch is full
Monday : i got some trips last week, I treated it with a mix of black soap, lemon juice (organic) and olive oil. Applied 3 days in a row seemed to work but increase humidity.
They continue to grow a lot, I may have activated the far red a bit too soon.
To limit trips, popcorn buds and increase yield, I did a big defoliation of lower leaves and branches.
Sunday : So I had dark spot popping. I think it is due to phosphorus or calcium deficiency. My PH was too low and plants did not absorb it enough. So watered at 6.8.
Today I'm leaving so it is my friends who are gonna take care of it till the end. I'll try to keep it updated. Peace
Still feeding once a week. Plants are starting to get some amazing colors ! The end is near. Will ask to start flush maybe next week.
My friends are taking good care of my babies
First week of flush, photos are from the beginning of the week. The plan is to do :
1st week : 2 watering with flawless finish
2nd week | 1st watering : only water + activating UV
2nd week | 2nd watering : only water + 3 days of dark
We will see how it evolves and adapt that. My friend are taking good care of it, they just should have removed popcorn buds but that is ok.
After 3 days of UV and 3 days of total darkness, here it is ! Harveeeeeeeeeeest time.
I cannot really provide info before I'll comeback to my house since it is my friends who are taking care of it. It will be drying for 2 weeks and we will remove sugar leaves and provide more info on the weight and everything.
