I couldn’t agree more!!! Why top at such a young age. Better yet, why top an autoflower at all. But if you were to top you should wait until you have at a minimum 4 to 5 nodes, looks from your picture you topped her at the first node. Why? You said you were using auto pots and I do believe that they are the most efficient way to water you have to establish the root system first. At 4 inches tall your plant has not yet developed a root system to be ready for a bottom watering auto pot system. At this stage I would still be using a turkey baster for watering. The roots are probably not much more developed than what you can see above ground so until they are 8-10 inches tall and really starting to veg out before bottom watering should be considered. Light. I think she would like more light. Cannabis can handle much more light than other plants and actually thrive with more light. Light is so important that I strongly recommend watching videos on the subject produced by Dr. Bugsby from the University of Utah (if you are going to grow cannabis watch these videos!) Check out my Compound V grow to see some of what Night Owl has to offer. Happy gardening.

Daz. Daz. Daz. Blue Power,can’t wait!!! I also picked up a pack along with a pack of High Lux this time around. Also have from the Dog Days of Summer drop a pack of CHEM91 (clone only) which I am positive will take me back to the original I was smoking back in Florida in ‘91 And a Vanilla Fizz as well. Bought a pack of Compound V last spring and popped two beans not really sure what to expect from Night Owl genetics. Well I was not to be disappointed! They were a blast to grow and though they were the shortest plants I’ve ever grown (27inches) the final yield was over four ounces per plant. Looking forward to following your Milk and Qookies grow as I have passed them up (I want them all). Anyway my Compound V grow is here to look at if you like. Happy gardening. P. S. Daz has done most of the work for us, picking out the best stock over and over until we get the best product available with as little work on our part as possible. In other words I believe any removal of vegetation (unless done within a very short window of time) will result in lessening your yield. LST is your best option but again because Daz has done all work for us his plants grow vigorously and as a result a little more stout and the main stem more “woody”. That’s what I learned with the Compound V grow.

Would love to see an update on your Compound V grow.

Looking sweet. You can expect to see pistils shortly if you haven’t already. These pistils are the longest, thickest most prominent I have ever seen. They definitely are female plants! They will go into stretch very quickly and should top out between 24-27 inches tall in about a week’s time. If you plan on defoliating your window is short as I found out removing any foliage after stretching stunts them for a couple of days. On the other hand they do like to be fed and responded well with extra bloom nutrients. Maybe be careful with the nitrogen as they are naturally very vegetative and perhaps that may help with defoliation. Anyway that’s what I have for this stage of growth and I will try to keep up with your grow. Exciting to see someone else growing some Compound V.

Nice little Night Owls. I grew two Compound V last spring and they were such a fun plant to grow. Never had the chance to LST as they were too short and stout to bend over. Not to worry though because the side branches and main stem formed a nice canopy anyway. They only reached 27 inches in height but were wide at one of them coming in at 34 inches across. Each plant yielded over 4 ounces and were havested on day 88. Currently do not have a grow in progress but have purchased more Night Owl seeds from each of their last two drops, Chemdog91 auto, Vanilla Fizz, Blue Power auto, and a pack of High Lux. love your set up! I am growing in a stairwell closet with a homemade light system happy gardening.

vanilla fizz f2. i just harvested 2 compound v autos from night owl seeds they are a cross between, chem city blues, chemdogging and vanilla fizz f2. short, stout, miniature versions of their parents. still drying, they smell like good oid seni dipped in vanilla extract. the buzz off of a couple of small inside buds is a creeper for sure, 2 tokes followed 10 minutes later with another and off you go still getting higher 30 minutes later and from that point on it is 1 toke weed to keep the happiness going. all in all very pleased with the cultivar from night owl and will picking up some more of their beans shortly. check out that grow and let me know what you think

dude if you found one single seed your plant saw a need to try to keep reproducing so if no pollen got to plant there is a 99 percent chance it is female.

I have confidence in my girls. A bouquet of flowers that nobody can deny.

Photoperiod or autoflower? If it’s an auto than it’s on its own schedule to start flowering usually between weeks 3and 4 then consider to flower for an additional 6to8 weeks. As auto’s don’t need light adjustments to enter flower you can grow them under a more generous light schedule, 20 hours on and for hours of darkness is probably the most common setup for autoflowers. Growing regular photoperiods is much different because if grown outside you rely totally on nature’s light cycle. Most planting outside occurs in spring or early summer so your plants have a chance to grow (vegetate) though June and July. Somewhere between the second or third week of July the plants will determine what sex they are (unless you are growing feminized seeds) male or female. Once they have sexed is when they will start a period of called the stretch and your plants can sometimes double in size especially when grown outside. During stretching the plant will go into preflower and will produce an abundance of pistils at the nodes and subsequently become full flowers. Stretch outside is usually finished by the third week of July and most certainly by the first of September. Flowering photoperiods if indica could potentially be ready for harvest by the end of September or early October and a sativa the middle of October to the beginning of November. A lot to take in but those are the ins and outs of cannabis cultivation as far as flowering time lines. Learn how to water your plants correctly is the single most important thing to know when growing cannabis. Do some research on line and ask questions. Watering incorrectly is the most common way people destroy their crops. Hope this helps.
