When does flowering begin?
damn_dorotheastarted grow question 2 years ago
π·πΌπΉIβm curious how you all think about this. What do you consider to be day 1 or week 1 of flowering in an auto? Is it when the pre flowers appear? Or when the buds appear? This is my 3rd grow and I have this question every time. When does vegetating end and flowering begin?

With photo period plants, most people say their in flower after they switch their lights to 12/12. They go through their stretch for a couple of weeks and then you notice button size buds. Thats when their finally in true flower. With autos you will first see pistols, then they do their week or couple week stretch and then show button size buds. Thats when their truly in the first week of flower and they can finish anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. Depending on genetics, health and grow environment.

Iβd say one week after pistils show in an auto it will start its process.

Every auto will be different, something stress can cause them to enter flower really early, so if that was the same they may enter flower aorund week 3 or 4, and other may only enter flower aorund week 6 or 8.
When I start to see pistils beginning to form at all the nodes I say my plant is just about to flower as its showing its sex. once I see mini bud sites I consider it to be in flower. As they automatically flower its not really a switch you flip to get them their. Just be as gentle as possible, don't over feed or over/under water and they should run their course as best they can.
Good Luck!

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

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.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

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)?
