Slow growing autos
caliEskimo5started grow question 5y ago
Why do autos stall right after preflower? I have had many auto flowering strains just sit around for a week or so, seemingly stagnant and without any issues but just slooooooowwwww.
Am I stunting my autos by reducing Nitrogen ferts during this phase?

This can happen during the stretch phase. Auto flowers are from the ruderalis family which flower based on time. The transition of veg to flower is slower then regular so with some strain's it can seem like they are doing nothing. But they are preparing to flower. Building Roots, Stems are getting thicker to hold the buds. Its completely normal, Plants are looking good.
Happy Growing

Hey bro,
It's normal, I can't explain it either. But I've been through that too.
Only some strains do this.
They stop for a few days, a week.
Incredible, but true...
If you want better results, don't grow autos. I learned that the first time I planted feminized seeds...
You'll see the whole difference, my friend.
Good luck with your grow and hugs!

I don’t have an answer but just anecdotal experience. I don’t do autos anymore for a variety of reasons.. but a lot of mine would stall around the first weeks of flower.. they’d have balls of pistils and sit like that for 2-3 weeks before packing on any weight whatsoever-bizarre

When do the buds fill out?Will these buds fatten up and fill out? I'm going into week 10 now from germination and my two Canuk Cookies autos are much smaller but turning purple with big fat buds almost ready to harvest. Is this one just lagging behind a little? Does it look like these buds will fatten?

Growth looks like it's stopped, is it time to flush?2 of my plants look like they've stopped growing now and the calcium deficiency looks worse and worse.. should I just flush then with water for a couple of week and be done with them?
The late bloomer looks like it's got ages still, definitely not what I'd hoped for being autos

Buds look okay?Buds look okay? I can’t get a closer picture, been using loop and concerned those might be bananas on the buds. I dropped her on her side in week 5 or 6 and I’ve just been giving her hydroflora line products and switch to overdrive. It’s my first ever grow. Harvest in two weeks?

Streched PlantHi dear Community!
Wtf is going on with my Runtz Auto??
She looks like a completely different plant! Thiner leaves, extremely long and stretched, bud structure different too. Should I be worried? All in all she is lookin healthy for me.

Why are my buds so small?Why are my buds so small? Could it be my nutrients? The thing is both plants have small buds. Almost like this is the natural size of the buds. Any insight as to why they are so small would be greatly appreciated. Check my nutrient schedule. Thanks for any help.

Harvest Time, both highest yield and THC.Hey everyone,
The perfect time to harvest for the highest THC is when I see some cloudy mushrooms? Or should they all be cloudy? I don't know how many days it takes for them to change from cloudy to amber? I want very little percentage of CBD and my buds aren't fattening up much!
Thanks
