Jaxx_Tellerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Just a quick question about stretching in Auto flowers really......
Obviously my girls have had a wee stretch in Veg but will they go again once in flower?

you will have a small stretch but rule of thumb, when plants flower they double in size.
3-5 weeks are the vegative stage
4-6 weeks is the stretch phase
6-10 weeks is typically the flower stage
this chart will help more so you can understand what is happing, you should be ok, happy growing

hello
I've never had an auto that didn't do some boost of rapid growth once flowering begins. So I'd say yes, you will.
I've noticed many people don't like to call it the flowering stretch but to me that's what it is, regardless of what you call it. Keep taking measurements and see if there is a week of heightened growth not just flower building.
Happy growing. ✌️

Autos dont really stretch they just grow and when their internal countdown starts lowering they start to flower. They may pick up a little growth speed in their transition but it's not a stretch like photos. Photos go into a stretch because of the sudden light change. Cheers

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Am I on a harvest window?Am i on a harvest window?
77 days old autoflower, up to this point is personal taste or still there ways to go?
I majorly see milky and a few ambers trichomes, correct?
Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.
