I have a bit of an unconventional question :D How stop stretch/grow and start flowering in autoflowers?
martonxstarted grow question 3 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.

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

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 !

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

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.

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?

Plant still stretchingPlant still stretching before lights out & has grown another 10 cms in less than 24 hour's. I put the light to 50 cms as advised & dimmed the light from 60% to 50%. Very concerned I'll run out of space if she keeps growing like this. I only have 20 cms left to raise the light.

Light distance and stem quality1. I’m not sure if the lamp is too close to the plant, it’s 8inch away. But it seems that plant like it. It’s only 200W and picture is added 2. When I’ll change the pot for bigger, can I dip the plant few more inches into the soil, I’m worried that the stem is too long and thinWeek 2
