Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strain
Staggerleestarted grow question a year ago
If you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week there’s is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank you

Gday m8, I wouldn't take the age of the plants posted in people's diaries as 100% correct. Some people post at the start of the week and others post at the end, giving the Impression some people's plants are larger when really they are a week older.
As for the lst question, yes nearly any training to an auto will slow growth unless you are gentle and don't do any high stress training like topping. (Experiment a little yourself and you will learn more than anyone can tell you)
Plenty of people train there autos including myself, check out my grows if you like.
If you check my germination comment on my diary's that's usually what I'd call day 1, so you can always do the maths and find out roughly how old someone's plant is as long as they are honest in there diaries.
Again good luck and happy grows

I guess it is time to step up the game and start on photos. you are all right there are to many variables to give an answer it also might be my perception cause they are pics and not live so it is hard. I figured the longer grow time had to do with the way I train them, I put these girls in some pretty weird positions and break at least one branch every grow.

Never compare your grows to other peoples grows............there are far too many variables at play that can affect results.............lighting, nutrition, grower skill, genetics, hydro vs soil, temps etc...........then there is the question of the truth and bending the truth.
Also agree 100% with Ezzjaybruh, grow photo fems and forget autos, your results will be hugely better and easier to achieve too.

Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question a year ago
Yeah agree with some of what Ned said there. Reality of the ruderalis genetics and the way they have been bred is that the whole “fast buds” thing just isn’t reliable. You’ll see most finish between 70-100 days and plenty go longer than that.. it’s the nature of them.
If you feel you’re struggling - try photoperiods. Contrary to marketing/advertising - I believe autos are for more seasoned growers than beginners. And given the timeframe I just outlined - you can finish photoperiods in the same time.
I used to veg for 4 weeks, flower for 8, and that put me in around 85 days. Right smack dab in the middle of your average auto grow.
If my chance there’s issues in Veg you can wait to flip, that’s a huge advantage.

Seedling is in its 2nd week of veg, using Promix BX, new growth is great but stem seems a bit weak. Not stretchy just weak. Wondering when to start nutes as soil is supposed to have no nutritional value as is. Can't seem to find a clear answer.Week 1

The main stem of one of the Gorilla's had to be bent down. I have noticed that the buds seem abit small for the age and that her main stem is really bendy. Is it abit early to tell if they will get bigger with time or is it because of the stress?Week 1

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

Auto doesn't bloomHi,
7 weeks ago I put 6 germinated Dutch Passion Auto Brooklyn Sunrise Seeds into my tent. 4 of them died or didn't grow at all. One is looking great and the one left just doesn't start blooming. Do you have an idea why it doesn't bloom? the others (Amnesia Haze) are doing well!Plant. Other

Auto vegging too longMy green crack #2 (see pics) seems to still be vegging?
It’s 50 days old and the other plants are growing frosty buds while she’s barely throwing hairs out
The other green crack #1 is stretching and is still behind the gg4 and gelato so perhaps it’s the strain? Any thoughts?🤙

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

Stunted growth on fast auto strains..When stunted with too much stress, will a fast growing auto strain such as Fastberry still manage to eventually grow fully developed flowers? If so, how long would you expect this to take? Given an inital 8 to 10 week germ to harvest time.Week 6

Chop or FlushAccording to the flowering time shes supposed to have 2 weeks left, for this reason I haven’t been checking the trichs. I Just checked yesterday and they’re 60% amber. I didn’t do a proper flush and she was fed up until 6 days ago, since then only water. Keep flushing or chop?Week 15

Prep for harvest timeHi Everyone,
I switched to flush today Mar 18 and am planning on harvesting on Mar 21. Would you recommend this small of a plant even cutting up branches or should I hang the whole thing? She was topped and reburied several inches deeper so only showing 15 inches but very wide.
