Oh yeah! And autos like about an 1/8-1/4 strength nutes w/ foliage spray as opposed to full nutes. Give it a shot?

Looking good buddy

Trust me Bro. Your plant is doing just fine. I thought the samething when I first started running autos.
But after learning, experimenting, failing, etc... I found out 2 things: vendors are full of it when it comes to flowering times (most vendors), 90 days is usually how long it takes from seed to harvest. Some times a little more and sometimes a little less. 24-48hours of darkness right before the harvest.

Also have you tried Northern Lights Blue Auto or Jack Herer. JH my drug of choice when i need to combat my pain but have energy amd focus (school, kids, etc...). Northern Lights Blue auto is slowly becoming my favorite auto.
Lastly I'm gonna do an outdoor hempy bucket fall/winter run to see if it will still produce well in a California winter it will be the Northern Lights Blue Auto. And I'll be using an LST method for autos that you may want to adopt if successful. I'll post up to you can see.
No I haven't tried any of those strains. This is my very first grow and I'm hooked so trust me I am interested :) Delicious Seed bank claims to have some good things that I want to try (next summer planning to do an outdoor Sweet Afghani Delicious auto). And Jack Herer is pretty famous :eyesmoke: I think that's what I was led to believe I was smoking in high school hahahaha. I'm very interested in hempy buckets thesedays when you start that thread make sure to PM me with the link. Otherwise I'll just be looking out for that one. :razz: Anyway... so sativas/sativas dom for attention deficit. That's what I wanted to know.
bout the LST I have used it on the sweet tooth with insulated copper wires shaped like coat hangers but tbh after a while I found it not so efficient. I think some thread and lead weights is a good way to go. What's your approach?

Quick update: more LST, she's real squat but started to outgrow her room
I got a question though do I cut off the bottom leaves and branches (I mean the ones that get no light and are touching the soil) as you would on a Scrog?

Autoflowers are real sensitive so the only thing you can really do is guide their growth like a vine. No cropping, topping, or supercropping. You can pull the branches down with strings and wires but be careful not to break or bend them. They just dont recover well.

Alright man. I did snap a twig off it by mistake and it didn't seem to stunt it that much/at all. But then again I don't know how a plant matures during its stages so I don't know what to expect out of potential mistakes and/or benefits I bring to it's indoor medium.

Anyway here's an update: she's gotten bigger actually too big I kinda wish she was taller and less bushier but no matter because besides the top I counted about 4-5 other future budsites 100% exposed to the light :D I'm still trying to figure out ways to accommodate more lamps in there and still save up room so the fans don't chop her leaves off.

Edit: I could be looking at a complete overhaul of this tiny-ass "grow room". I might work on it tomorrow morning or tomorrow night

It says im following your thread but its not giving me updates for some reason. Did your state just pass a bill to free the grass marmalade? If it did im right next to you ;)
Plant looks really good man. Pistils on a photo period plant need over a week to start usually. If they showed in two days id think your still on auto mode ;)
Its so exciting all the legalization laws coming into place. Im a simple man, all i want to do is grow a 12' pot plant in my front yard for all the neighbors to see and be able to wave at the cops as they drive by. God i want that bad.

I'm not in the US, brother, and cannabis is illegal here but lately it's been somewhat decriminalized. However I've heard rumors of busts for possession/trade of 5 grams (a fifth oz) or more. It's absurd but what are you gonna do. My family is completely ok with it but until I get my own place I will try to keep the footprint on the down low. My dad grows vines and brews some fine ass wine and he understands the implications very well. He is as anxious about the harvest as I am. :D
Even with the 36 hour darkness period it would still develop pistils in more than a week? Alright then I'm gonna give it as much light as I can.
About the mj trees I don't think it will be long before we see you guys growing like the lemon/orange trees that grow on the streets in the mediteranian countries ;) But I really hope you guys get legalization on a federal level. I really do.

I don't believe in large grow rooms... especially not for stealth. If your just a patient joe shmoe consumer then it just doesn't make sense.
But, if you're cash cropping then...yeah.
But here's my little 3 foot box that i converted into a love shack (starting) a new strain. Lol
Goal is to gearit toward: PTSD, Chronic Pain, Muscle Spasms, Migrains... and all the other stuff us vets get F'd up with.

She served me well as my one and only for quite some time. And grew some pretty dank meds...
Here's a pic of supercropped Jack Herer she grew during flowering. It was only like 3-4zips but that was plenty for me at the time. Especially as rook who didn't know have the things i know now. LOL
Anyway... just master your space then move on to the next before shelling out extra cash... unless youre rich.

Looks nice and tidy. me gusta. my growspace is tiiiiny. idk... 1,5 foot by 1,5 foot I think.

BTW I'm seeing some purple pistils but they're too small and I can't focus but when they grow I'll post a pic

Purple? Nice! Love the purple stuff man.
My love shack complete measurements are: (LxWxH) 24" x 14" x 36"

Have you tried LBH's 4-way LST Training? Works great in small spaces if growing regular flowers from seed. Doesn't work on Autos though. :-(

[.QUOTE="grapefruitmarmalade, post: 11048449, member: 887835"]This is exactly what I want to do! Many thanks brotha![/QUOTE]

I can't lie, once i tried it i was hooked. I like "Nugbuckets" "Manifold System" too but in my humble opinion, 4-way LST is where it's at for scrog. You get so much control over your growth from the seed to harvest or as blacka from the south say, "from the rooter to the tooter."
The manifold system is easiest to harvest, but just too vertical for stealth. Good for outdoor when it's legal though.

Thanks for joining in :D no HID here... I'm gonna try to pull it off on 100 watt (maybe more) of CFL. Next week I'm planning to buy (not 100% sure) supplies for a hempy bucket and germ a couple of Special Kush #1 and when I do that I might be compelled to get an HPS ;)

I've researched some of those mainlining things :D they look like extreme methods of growing to me but it does make some sweet candy ;)

Today the smell got pretty pungent-earthy but I don't feel it when the fans are on. Here's a pic of the main top

PS: next watering is flush then bloom nutes
