First Auto Flower

First Autoflower grow, 3 gallon fabric pot and Walmart potting soil. Outside grow. Gave a drink of molasses water today, besides that the rain has been watering her. Any tips etc. Thanks

This is her.

I grow outdoor as well, and experiencing a lot of rain. Be aware of the pots growing mildew in this wet weather, they cannot dry out sufficiently. I'm growing full term ladies so I'm in veg and flower a longer time. If you see mold or mildew, it must be removed, I waterblast the pots a couple times a year, which also increased their breathing compacity.

You sure that's an auto?

Well I bought it at a auto and it's flowering now. But maybe not. I got a five pack.of seeds for 65.00. Why do you ask? I'm new at this.

It looks like the plant started flowering and then re entered veg state. Autos will have no problem flowering even if your lights out conditions happen to contain light. That plant looks like it has been getting light at night, rather than 12 hours of darkness. Where outside it located?

In a field now where it's dark it has been there maybe a month. But a possibility it could have got light on the porch before then with porch light turned on at times Will enclose a close up picture with what seems to be alot of budding at top. What should I do

How many hours of darkness is it receiving in that field?

Total darkness sun really sets about 8 pm sun hits it about 7 am. So total darkness say from 9 till about 530 it gets light out. No artificial lighting around there. Any ideas . Thanks in advance.

Also I forgot to mention in the beginning bugs were awful ate alot of leaves etc. Sprayed a insecticide on it very young so maybe I did it harm myself. I'm actually surprised anything grew the rest were ate up by damn slugs.

So about 8 hours of darkness...

Congrats, you have a photo plant. You can bring it inside and get it on a hard 12/12 schedule and finish flowering or leave it where it's at to keep vegging and it will flower naturally on its own when the nights get longer -12 hours or more.

Will the vegging keep taking place with all the white pistols going crazy. Bringing inside is not a option. Thanks for your time.

Yep...if it isn't getting 12 hours of darkness, it will just keep vegging.

What aspect of that photograph gave you that impression it was a re-vegging plant? I have never seen one in person, and was curious.

The smooth, shiny leaves that resemble nitrogen toxicity is a good start. Notice the lack of serration?

Single or three blade leaves during flower can be genetic in a lot of plants, especially Sativas, but they have the usual serration. I had one last year outside that people thought was revegging but was a genetic trait.


Minor reveg.

Heavy reveg

Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. The non-serrated leaves and nitrogen toxicity symptoms didn't catch my eye. But, that will give me an idea of what to look out for.
