At what point do autoflowers stop growing? mine is...

marcus98started grow question 2y ago

At what point do autoflowers stop growing? mine is at 1.4m now, week 8. Sativa, Super Lemon Haze Auto. I was assuming by the time its already flowering it would stop growing taller, but this plant just keeps going!!

When a plant starts flowering is the time it grows the most vigorously, this is known as the pre-flower stretch. Week 8 auto makes me think you're ~4 weeks veg + 4 weeks into flower, so imo your stretch is probably coming close to an end your buds will start to fatten up over the next few weeks.

My assumption by the wording is that it has flowered. You’re trying to stop stretch?

week 8... 95% you have a photoperiod at this point. shit happens. they either mispackaged or some unanticipated pollen contaminated their autoflower breeding area. change to 12/12 or 13/11 and it'll flower. uninterrupted darkness is the key with photoperiods. if you provide that, all is well.

Don't change the light times. To autos it means nothing but less. Environmental conditions can be slowing down the progress. With being a sativa other is gonna run a longer grow cycle. I have had autos hit 18 weeks. Tampering with light schedule is a inexperienced auto grower answer.

It sounds like you have a failed auto that's gone to photoperiod. Try inducing flower by putting her in complete darkness for 48 hours, or swapping to a 12/12 light schedule.

Too Tall Too Quickly - How to slow this down?Following grower's advice, I chose not to top my autos. When buying the seeds initially, I tried to buy only strains that were said to grow up to medium height. Towards the end of week 5 and my Blackberry Gum is 90cm high. How can I slow this down without affecting yield? TIA

Uneven Canopy Management I've been trying to even out the canopy, Strawberry Cough (smaller/bushier) is a completely different pheno to Blueberry (tall/stretchy). How should I manage it? I've tried heavy defol/topping for Blueberry and prefer to stay away from LST - I want both to have a similar diameter

Too much stretching, too little space left.Hi! I wonder if I can reduce stretching. It's too bushy in the middle and on the sides, lots of tiny branches receive too little light. Today I trimmed 5 lowest tiny branches that were touching the wall. Should I trim some more or give more light? It's about 540 PPFD 35,1 DLI.

Has the early stretch ruined my plant at the first hurdle?Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

I am going by my lights (XS2000) instructions but I find contradictions everywhere I turn when looking for proper distances, ppfd values, etc. Some run these lights closer to their plants at 100% the entire time. 😳
