SAYCHEESE!

hahaha... my short rider auto is 3 inches tall and i'm starting to fear the same.... and mine is also 3 weeks old... i know it's a short rider, but damn i was hoping it would have grown to at least a foot.

I know, I dont know what happened I looked and was like fuck already i dont even have any nutes for bloom right now, No money!!! Mines about 3 inches too hahaha Fuck

IT's ALL good fellas...... A GOOD auto is supposed to do exactly that...... No worries... If you want you can raise your lights and 'force stretch' them if you'd like.... As far as nutes go, I haven't tried that strain but I do know ALOT on STA and LowRyder Mints and they are VERY hardy little plants... If growing in soil you should barley need any nutes if any at all..... I understand the money thing trust me but if they look a little down goto Wal-Mart and get some plain ol' MG All Purpose or Bloom Booster(preferably AP) and mix at 1/4 of the recommended dosage and you will be fine..... Hope this helps ya some..... Take care

preciate the advice moonsal. i also hear that nutes really aren't necessary. so far i'm almost 3 weeks in and even though it's only a few inches tall she's gettin' bushy. i only water every 3 days and so far she's loving it. i think it'll be fine SAYCHEESE! just give it some more time and make sure you post updates on here and i'll do the same... hopefully our little girls will grow some more! good luck

Not a problem at all maaan.... I just LOVE everything about an auto'..... They are perfect for what I need.... Plus there just so damn cute...LOL What size pot are you using right now??? If your watering every 3 days seems kinda small.. I start mine in 2.75qt pots and when they show I immediatley transplant into a 4gal bucket.... Those autos love the root room maaan and they also shoot straight down... By all means it won't hurt them leaving them in what you got fo awhile but it helps a bit to let them breath some too.....

I just pollenated my girls this mornin'... The STA male I had was just bursting open..HAH damn soil was almost solid yellow around the base.... Figured might as well ya know..... The ladies have plenty hairs.....

Hope all is good man...

BTW.. Try not to love them to death, I made that mistake first time..HAHAH Thought they needed more care then they did.. OOPS... Oh well ya live and learn right...

PEACE bro

i transplanted this past tuesday into a four gallon. not too much growth since then, i think (hoping) that she's just working on her new room for roots to grow. i can say that even though she isn't getting taller, i'm starting to get new set's of leave's popping up inbetween nodes kind of growing at an angle. so needless to say, i think in a week she's gonna be bushy as hell! i haven't used any nutes either, cause she's been doing great without em up to this point. i've got a journal going... you should check it out... i've been posting pics once a week of the progress...

its normal
autos more or less skip the veg state

Thanks for the advise with nutes a was kinda freakin out about having to go buy some for bloom, I transplanted last night into 1 gallon ( thats all I have) they seemed to be doing really good leafs are all perky and yes she is very cute my girlfriends in love with her cant wait to have a 3some. Im going to take some pics once i see some progress.

Good deal bub...... Can't wait to see pics..... A good rule of thumb (especially autos) is when you see the slightest root poking through the bottom of your pot, time to transplant.... Granted they can surley go longer, it just helps...... If you see any burn on your leaves immediatlry flush and pich off any "badly" burned leaves... Autos have enough energy going into the growth that they dont need anymore trying to fix damages ya know..... Hope all grows well... PEACE :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf:
