Then you have to look at your food and your light spectrums
autos will flower off very small if giving the right kind of light but they will keep growing if treated correctly too
I like to give them low power light and veg feed plenty of N to get them bigger or if giving high power light you want more blue in the mix
You could try a plant regulator to get them to grow more and then another regulator to get them to flower more
but best thing is to get the root zone as big as you can while the plant is young and be very gentle with auto`s in regards to how much you feed them and how strong the lights are, as you can set them off flowering even a few days into their life and once you do that you`ll really struggle to get more then a few grams out of the plant because there`s no real way to get them to "veg"
So yeah more nitrogen and some root feed and lower the amount of red light raise the amount of blue light and see if you can get her bigger before hitting her will your full bloom light power ?

u cant control the flower time of an auto with photoperiod sorry man autos show sex around 2-3 weeks and preflowers in the 3rd to 4th week its just how she goes and its exactly why you should never buy seeds based on what store says it will yeild becouse if u read the fine print ud see thy have no idea... also iv been at this for a while im on my 1st auto grow tho everything iv read holds tru.. i have grown regular strains for about 5 years now and can tell you 500g isnt gonna happen maybe per meter sq maybe but not in 8-10 weeks maybe like 3 months veg BIG maybe...
on a side note ^^^ the konassure is right max ur nutes out but iv found the key is root feeder im useing humbolt roots my self since i grow organic use that an auto till about week 6 n then lite veg nutes with heavy flower nutes... odviously the term heavy means 5mg per gallon 10mg if u have a strain that can take the abuse

as stated above I have found that the most important thing with autos is to build the largest possible root mass.
large dank auto buds come from plants with great healthy root mass period, work on root mass forget the size of the plant a small plant with healthy roots will put on better buds than the other.... I prefer large amounts of female glands covered in trics rather than leaves!

Hey all.. Im on my first grow. Starting with Fast and Vast since i figured it would be an east start. I am on day 31 and my first sprouter looks like it is going to start flowering. Plants are about 6" - 13" now.
Here is my grow tent info:
Grow Tent: Sun Hut Fortress85 - 2.5' x 4.5' x 7'
Light: BloomBoss 600 - 150w veg; 300w Flower $700 (i know I could have done better, but its what the hydro store had)
Hydro system - 21 W 250gph General Hydro EuroGrower 40gallon res with 8 - 2gallon pots (using 4)
Medium - clay pebbles with 1lb of coco-noir tek per pot.
Exhaust Fan - 113w 4" Hurricane 171CFM
Carbon Filter - CAN-Filter 33 rated 100-200CFL 4" fan - 22w
Nutrients - General Hydroponics Flora Series
Total watts at peak - 456w
I had a little WPM starting so I burried the watering system in the clay pebbles and sprayed. Everything looks clear.
One plant looks like it had nitrogen toxity, so its been on water the last three days and is recovering.
I did FIM the top of three of the plants to learn. I read that you shouldnt completely top an auto.

I'm on Day 35 now and the plants are really stretching. Went from 6" to 13" tall on Day 30 to 14" to 20" tall today.
I switched my plants directly under the light, but am wondering if I should separate them and try to open the plants up more??

Plants have grown another 4"-8" the last 3 days. I separated the two largest plant in the back a little and then did some LST to fill out the canopy.

Just took one down, right at 8 weeks. The other is lagging a little behind. It looks pretty good, buds aren't as dense as I would of hoped but man it is stiiiicky.

In reading other's experience on autoflower.net; most let the plants go past the manufacturers 8 weeks, especially when using LED.
I am going to go 70 or 82 days depending on how they look. I have to go on a business trip which limits some of my flexibility around this time
... although I could have my friend help with the curing to give some flexibility.

Day 55 update...
Plants are now 35-41.5" tall.
One plant looked like it was showing Calcium or Magnesium deficiency by some spotting on the leaves. Picked up CaMG+, but then realized it was Organic for soil and not hydro. Didn’t use…. Read it can gum up system and cause issues. Also read that CalMag dificiencies tend to occur at PH below 6.2, adding PHup to get closer to 6.5.

Day 63 update..
Plants are 37" - 42" tall
Installed Spectrum King SK-400 light. Rearranged plants so that it was over the two smallest plants and the BloomBoss over the bigger two. Put in bamboo poles to help support some branches that are starting to collapse from the weight of buds. Temperature up to 81.5 and humidity down to 28%.... was able to get temp down to 77F leaving humidity low as I'll start the flush in a week.
