does changing the light cycles of auto flowers stress it?
greg050noobstarted grow question 2 years ago
this is my first grow really. this plant has been under 4 different lights. I think I found one I really like. I moved it to the solar system 550. does changing lights or times matter with autos?

Nope... autoflowers are pretty rugged that way - they have a will to live and grower-be-damned! LOL! 18/6 is an ideal schedule for light and dark - but last winter I had to run my lights 24/7 to keep the temps up in my tent and my girls didn't bat an eye... This year, I'm trying them on 20/4 and again, they don't care although I DO see them start to sag just before lights out as if to say "Mom, I'm tired, I need to take a nap" ... LOL!
But the overall message here is no, they are not stressed by the 4 different lights, changing times or anything you've put them through!
Enjoy the journey and good luck!

No she is just hungry for light and as long as it is the right spectrum and strong enough than she will be happy with it. And I can ensure you that the Solar System 550 got both of those thing covered.
Autoflowers love the 18/6 light cycle during the entire grow the most. Some growers prefer the 20/4 light cycle but I don't think that the extra used energy and costs gain enough extra yield to make it worthy.
So my advice, use the Solar System 550 it is a great lamp and keep her on a 18/6 light cycle till the end.

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

Does too concentrated STS cause inviable pollen? Despite dabking seeing "seeds all over", There were none. someone didn't get the joke. This fem seed run failed. Lower concentrationn gave 1000s, instructed concentration gave 100s, this OD gave zero despite 100% conversion.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Fall RecoveryHow is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)
