Thanks for the extra info. The size and times given by the breeders are only a guide and not rules, with the flowering times being mostly fanciful. Six weeks is about half way through the plants life cycle, so no real concerns about trichomes and aroma, they will develop soon enough. Nothing too weird, just the lack of soil leading to poor nutrient availability. Also, by vertical growing and the necessity of having your light above your plant leads to the lower parts only receiving much fewer lumens. This can also be attributable to the leaves going yellow so early. Having a bit a low stress training and more horizontal growth would allow for a much more even canopy and the lower sections receiving a much better amount and quality of light. Once again, hope this helps,......... Organoman.

Danke Organoman,vorher ist mir das noch nie passiert. Ich hatte sonst immer Indica Autos unter der 150w HPS/MH und alle hatten mit dem selben Dünge Zyklus und den selben Töpfen-ich nehme immer 15L Töpfe mit Biobizz Lightmix. Aber auch meine Indicas waren alle größer was natürlich mehr Ertrag brachte. Die Blätter waren dunkelgrün und makellos. Vielleicht habe ich eine schlechte Genetik erwischt? Ich werde sie jetzt noch 3 Wochen stehen lassen und beten☺️ Morgen kommt meine neue Lampe,Spider Farmen SF2000 und unter der Lampe lasse ich sie dann weiter blühen. Ich werde auch bei meinem nächsten Grow auf Greenhousefeeding Bioline Dünger umsteigen und den grow hier hochladen. Ach ja,ich habe kein Training benutzt und nur die untersten Stiele gekappt. Hab einen schönen Tag

She has really only just started flowering with a lot more growth going to happen and this would explain the lack of aroma and trichomes. The plant looks quite stretched and the pot quite small, possibly indicating inadequate lighting and the yellow leaves are no doubt the result of the soil in the small pot becoming exhausted/depleted. Next time try a pot around 15 litres/4 gallons for your autos to really thrive. At this stage you could increase the feeding slightly to help with flower growth, even going to half veg nutrients and half bloom nutrients for a couple of feeds will help the flowers fill out a bit, but now that the leaves have gone yellow, there is no way of returning them to health. Due to the exhausted soil and the small amount of it, you are basically running a pseudo hydroponic system, whereby your plant is only surviving on whatever nutrients you are supplying and the soil is only supporting the roots as a "substrate" and not as a "living soil" anymore. Giving a P/K booster with your nutrients will also help the flowers fill out a bit more. In future, if you want some bigger and denser flowers, upgrading your light might have to be an option worth considering. Without a diary, it is quite hard to give accurate and specific information, as it is now, only general concepts can be offered. Hang in there and be patient, your reward lies just over the horizon! Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.

What also amazes me is the size .. it is grown indoors under 150w HPS / MH and is 115cm high .. 15cm higher than stated by the breeder and the plant also looks very different from the pictures I saw. I know sativas take longer, but something is weird. I hope you have an answer for me. Pace,Fruity
