Well thats why i dont like autos. Ive grown yhem 6 times and they always suck! I had one completely finish in 42 days it was so pathetic i threw the whole plant into the wood chipper it was that bad. Ive had them hermie, ive had them grow insane big! And then hermie. And i cant control there growth cycle whatsoever. I made my own cross with an auto and i cant even bring my self to grow it. I grew it once so far i dont like autos. There too finicky, they stress ouy too easily. So as of now i stopped growing autos and i wont say anymore because people get upset. And we had some members get into fights and leave the forum over comments about auto flowers. I had autos from Dutch passion, barneys farm and a few others so genetics were supposed to be quality. But with one photoperiod seed i can grow for years and years and years. I have a strain in my “living strains collection” Right now thats 3.5 yrs old already. I have lava freeze thats already a year old and a very rare strain. And even more rare in the U.S. because its not sold here stateside. Or in the u.s. for that matter. I also have and original lavender from soma sacred seeds before he started making female seeds only. Its been alive now for almost 3 yrs. One of the growers here on the vetted proffesional side has a lant hes been mothering for for 19yrs. I even heard of plants that are 37yrs old. A lot of people talk about strain degradation by over clonning for years upon years. Ive been testing this for about 5yrs now and im coming up inconclusive results. I cant prove either way whats happening without lots of very expensive testing. I have had a few things tested. But im not seeing what other are claiming. Sorry rant over lol

Yes, I’ve figured that for a 1st timer I’d try it to learn more about the growing progress. Thd 1st set of seeds I got from superior seed was very disappointing. My 1st 3 germination attents died after they grew about three inches. They sent some seeds for free and that’s the 1 growing now. I have lost the paperwork and my order online is no longer available to see, so I have no idea what it is but it look and smell great, with a lemony basil kinda smell.

I started to grow to reduce expenses. My wife is disabled and I’m retiring with some fiscal limitations. She has her medical use card. I’ve aways done a bit of landscaping as wel as gardening. I decided what the hell and go for it and It was a challenge to get setup but if I was going to grow i should get setup right. My only disappointment was in the seeds. Iwish I would have found myself here before I started to purchase seeds. I’ve learned alot in my short time online here. I wish we could open grow here. I would love to see 7 to 8ft plants growing.
Well that’s my back story.

That plant looks very good, and is the average size for an auto. When they say 45-60 they are talking start to finish. So it should be flowering at 30.

I love autos now I’m a newbie and I’m only on my second run and have grown mostly autos so my opinion may be a bit biased. I did notice just like photos the source of the seeds matters so much. I was getting my seeds from strng seeds and they mostly did not turn out that great had only 1 plant get over 2ft tall . I’m sure i was at very least partially to blame but i got my seeds from rqs this time and they had a germination rate of about 98 % only 1 didn’t where as the other company only half. I’m growing my first successful photos now. 1 on accident it was supposed to be ogk auto but it’s definitely a photo think it’s going to be a mother plant. 2 maui wowwis.

Yeah seeds can be an issue. I have a lot of strains i created and some so special i wont share them. But if you need anything let me know. I have 35 strains. I hrew all of them and documented every strain on this forum. You can see all my work from seeds to weed!

Yeah, I knew start to finish. Just very disappointing in the size. They say 14 to 16 oz from it. Dream on. Lol I’ll go on the hunt for some good feminized indica seeds. I was wanting to build up some volume to have on hand for my wife to smoke. I do a taste here and there, but I grow for her.

You are disappointed because you didn’t follow the rules of Autoflower. Those 1 lb. yields are for those that put the autoflower in 10-15 gal pots. From my understanding as soon as they hit a barrier of some kind the bottom or sides of a pot for instance, they stop getting bigger and finish.

I started a 2nd 1 along with a feminized that I will grow side by side. I will drop into the biggest 1 I have, 7gal after germination. Will see if that helps in size.

That’s per metric foot… i never pay attention to that it’s nonsense to me now. I got 5oz from one of my autos then about 70 to 80 from the other 3

Yes I’m only on my second grow but i used 1g instead of 3g like last time and I’m very disappointed with the size of most of mine… I’m thinking 2 or 3 g is a sweet spot least for my size grow

Looks real good, but if I were you I would up the nutes a little, you have a bit of pale color and zero tip burn. I would go up about 25% to start.

I’m assuming you are taking about the little 1. I have increased it, but on my other plant should I be concerned with the yellowing leaves.
most of the yellowing is on the lower leaves and the buds look fine.

Yes on the little one. The late flower yellowing is normal.
