I have a bit of an unconventional question :D How stop stretch/grow and start flowering in autoflowers?
martonxstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is it possible stop the growth or is it possible to switch my autoflower with change photoperiod like a normal flower? I'm starting to worry that I won't fit in the tent. How much more can they grow? The height is now about 30cm. End of 4th week.

Unfortunately you cannot change them into flowering via photoperiod methods. I am currently dealing with 2 phenotypes of NL x Big Bud Auto Ryder, where one flowered around week 5, and is small and bushy - the other is around 2 feet taller and began flowering 2 weeks later. All on the same 24 light period - same tent, same nutes, etc. So with auto's sometimes it is a challenge in that regard! You can expect them to double or more in width and height when they begin flowering.

Its called auto for a reason brother. They will grow based on quality of environment and maturity predetermined by the strain. I know you can put a photoperiod in 48hrs of dark right before switch to 12/12 to speed them up. Not sure if autos care because they are not so dependent on DLI. You coiod try 48hrs dark but tgeres always risk to yeild messing with autos.

They will flower when they want. Once they start you can expect at least 40% increase in size. Low stress training is the most effective way to control plant height. Happy growing.

Light distance and StretchHi,
Thanks in advance for the answers. My green crack auto from seedsman is 61 inches tall and is now beginning to fill the stems in with large buds. I was told that it was to stretched and my light was to far away. Is this a bad thing? I kinda wanted stretch cause more fill inWeek 9

Plantulas se estiran #2Plantulas en el día #3 después de germinacion
Se estiran buscando la luz
Lámpara a 25 cm del substrato
¿Alguna idea? ¿Modificar distancia de la lámpara?
CC (Crystal Candy) y NL (Northern Light) están justo debajo de la lámpara.... :-(
¿Sacar ya al exterior tal vez?

Las plántulas se estiran buscando luzTengo una lampara QB LED de 50W a 30 cm de altura, pero las plantulas de los laterales del cultivo se estiran buscando la luz
¿Acerco más la lampara? ¿Las botellas de agua están disminuyendo el PPFD?
Fabricante indica a 55 cm para esta fase

They are too big and I have not so much space remaining, what should I do ?68 cm already and only 25cm of height available (with the actual scrog), I just flipped to 12/12. Should I keep on scrogging or top all the heads ? I don't really know where to top as I removed some of the bigger leaves on one side. Thx !

Which plants to keep, when to switch to flower?How do I continue?
Guess I want to switch into flower within the next few days.
My idea is to give away #2 and keep the definetly female #3 and ScroG her.
Dont think I can grow 2 strains with such different sizes at the same time.
Opinions on switching 12/12 and only keeping #3?

Do you have a solution to stop the growth of stems?Apparently this would be due to a lack of light and stress because of the too high temperature.
I exposed them in a brighter place and I controlled the temperature to a maximum of 25/26°C.
It doesn't seem to stop...
How can I repair the damage? Is it too late?
Thanks in advance.

A tiny problem with size!So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)Week 8

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos.
When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height.
Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high.
How can I slow this down without affecting yield?
TIA
