These are some of the auto flowers , seems like they should be further along in bud formation right now but this is my first round using autos so not really sure what to expect .. They're about 35 days In
Billy autos are absolutely crazy. I went from a half filled room and a nice comfy leather chair to not being able to pass through, 9 plants in the floor and a chair stored in my shed. This run I saw 4.5 inches of vert growth in 24 hours. The biggest thing with them that I have learned is to wait on flower nutes till the stretch is over. Last run I didn't and had short shitty plants. This run I have absolute monsters. 2 weeks into flower and they already have 50% more bud development then my previous. Just be patient and wait a couple days. Take a pic today and another in 3 days and compare. You'll see first hand what I mean.

Wooooow...
Yeah, they are going pretty good. Being autos and taking 200% the recommended nutrients every 36 hours is more shocking. I'm on an A&B feed that brings me to 800 ppm and after all the extras I'm a little over 1500ppm. At the 36 hour mark some feel bone dry, while others are close. I'm also doing co2 and new lights which seems to make all the difference.

Looks good!!! Make sure to cut co2 last 2 weeks or more. Otherwise you'll have problems with them fully maturing.

These pics are day 55 from seed, Dinafem critical, moby dick, white widow, gsc and rhino ryder. 2 weeks after preflowers popped and flower nutes were added. Under 3 Amare se-450's and one Lec. Far right were in my veg room under another Lec but the room was to tight so they are under a shit Mars 600 and 2 t5's

Feels like you just started this grow yesterday. Wow! You weren't kidding when you said they're growing fast. Wicked nice Smo!

I don't know about these autos guys , they've grown nicely as far as the vegging stage but I looked at calendar and they are 51 days in from seed and the bud sites are plentiful but none even close to developed buds .. I think I should definitely be further along . Shits worrisome because I've put a lot into them and a lot of my space ya know

What LED are most efficient for a 200$ price range for a 3x3x5 flowering tent? I have a 300watt mars hydro and a 300watt galaxyhydro is that overkill for thT space? I keep em 10-15 inches away running two plants

I guess my question is could they just be slow / late bloomers or am I screwed ?
Chill! Autos are fucking nuts. If they aren't growing fast enough for you walk away for an hour and come back and check. These plants were showing preflowers 2.5 weeks ago and no buds at all. Every time I drop seeds I always think the worst is happening and a week later I'm freaking that things are going to fast and I'm out of space. Like anything there is a learning curve. Growing autos is a lot different than photos so you really should t expect much. But I assure you if you give it a week you'll be amazedimage.jpeg

This looks amazing!!!, and I want to work with autoflowers. Can you give some advice on the size pots to use and how many in a 4x4 area? I was thinking 3 gallon smart pots using soil...
