6 foot autoflower??? lol need some advice people!

BULLSHIT. First you said you forced flower, which is 12/12 at will. Then you say it's on 18/6. Let me first address the obvious...you forced flowered an auto. Makes no sense. SECOND, looking at the pictures, there are way too many bud sites and too thick of a stem, and way too tall for this thing to be an auto at such an early stage...BUT THEN AGAIN, you don't say how old the plant is! You state it's been in flower 2-3 weeks. OK, so how old is it from seed? Your lights and nutes will not make an auto 6 foot. But then again, you said you "forced flower."

Thirdly... you are either an idiot or a liar.

and I feel like most of your issue is improper use of CFLs...too far away and not enough of them...I know it is your first time...but that same plant should be only 1-2 ft max for the number of nodes you have which is alright I guess, but next go about train the plants to add bud sites and keep the plants shorter with smaller node spacing...add more cfls and put them closer to the plants. The plant looks pretty healthy except for the stretched appearance...

Seriously dude? I've worked with so many autos it's not even funny. An auto will NOT stretch to six feet on weak lights. End of discussion.

take it easy buddy im looking for help not critisism. its an auto flower feminized nervina seed. the plant is almost 2 months old. after the first month of veg on 24-0 i switched it to 12/12 . at this point the plant was 2-3 feet tall. its been showing flowers for 2-3 weeks like i said. im not bragging about a 6 foot autoflower its clearly not right i am trying to figure out what i should do with it the way it is now. thanks

**jomama8940** · 06-20-2012, 07:50 PM

and i have tried to move the cfls closer they start to burn the tips of the fan leaves and i cant figure out away to get a light back to the top of the plant due to the way it has grown. i have done my research and alot of people say the bubblicous nirvana auto seeds have been know to fuck up

**jomama8940** · 06-20-2012, 07:53 PM

and honestly lets try to forget how it got the way it is now and somone please help me take care of it from this point on. like i said it was sopost to be an auto but clearly even if i stretched it out its not right ? so how should i treat the lighting on this plant. and what should i do to it to increase yeild and bud size? add light ? ad nut? ad water? ect. i dont wanna argue about how it became such a beast i just want to tame her so i can get some good smoke and learn for my next aftgan cush auto

Well it obviously didn't autoflower, so I would just treat it like a regular plant I think...some autos just don't auto...I have only tried growing autos once...and they all did what they were supposed to...I just wasn't all that impressed...can get better results with 12/12 from seed and a regular photo seed...I mean small plants are nice, but not when they are as small as my autos turned out...Short stuff seeds Blue Himalayan...super tiny plants...

Okay first, I've only heard good things about nirvana, Not that i've looked much but still.

Second, I would say next time look into LSTing (Low Stress Training) or Supercropping, I personally LST and just pulled a little over 3 ounces off a plant under 4 x 24 T5 HO.

The plant it self was about a foot wide and a foot and a half long, about 5 inches from the top of the pot, 7-8 from the soil. I had over 30 budsites. Done the same with CFLS before i had my T5.

I would defiantly look into LST, I lst literally up until the week i harvest..

This early you could always pull the top down, Tie a string onto the stem and pull it down till your comfortable with it and anchor the string to the pot/ground somehow.
With CFLS you need to keep the plant as close to the bulb as possible because CFL cannot penetrate like HID, I personally made a little cage for my cfls, I'd take some little cage wire stuff, Just very small square chicken wire shit, and would cover the bulb and attact at the ballast, I'd leave about 1/4-1/2 inch ebtween the bulb and cage then get the plant as class as possible never had a problem with burning till my fans went out.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD VENTILATION. Although CFLS dont produce much heat they will and can easily burn your plants if they are too close and its too hot. I like to keep a PC fan or two blowing on my bulbs.

Need any help? Pm me, Good luck, Happy Growing, Stay high!

if you bought it from NERVANA i doubt thats a legitimate source... But NIRVANA's auto flowers will not stretch 6 feet. NOT EVEN THE JOCK HORROR AUTO FLOWER, which is predominantly sativa!

Most auto flowers WHOLE life span is 2 months... So its not an auto flower... you obviously mixed up your seeds or some how nirvana sent you a different seed on accident, which would probably be a 1 out of a million... If i were you I would contact nirvana and tell them... If you are not doubtful you probably would of contacted them already... So you probably mixed up the seeds...

I also feed if you really bought from a website called nirvanashop, or bought there seeds through attitude, then you would know there name and not call them nervana countless times... the website even tells you it is wrong when you type it in...

You obviously bought from a fraud vendor, or you are just trying to bash nirvana because you accidentally mixed up your seeds.
