hi all.
i have recently started to grow a new strain. (sweet tooth auto) i am 32 days from seed, the buds are starting to form but i cant see no trichomes, im used to growing bf pe auto and these start showing trichomes at about 26 days, im just wondering if anyone knew when i could expect trics? also i am growing with cfl's as usual, but i have lst'd her and there is massive stretch with about 3-4 inches between nodes, i keep trying to get the bulbs as close as possible but she is growing so fast!!!! a couple hours later i will check in on her and i have burnt the f**k out of the leafs, is there anything i can do as i have never had this problem with pineapple express, my st auto is meant to be 50cm but she is almost there now, height is not a issue but stress is. any help will be gratefully recieved, furious.

Go Buy a desert sun uvb lizard light and run it five hours per day when the sun would be the brightest. That'll put some trichs on that pubescent girl.

thanks for the reply erich, but until now i have been a dedicated cfl grower, i am running my last seeds under cfls to see me threw untill i upgrade my grows, i was hoping for a estimate as to when i can expect trics, as i know a new light would help a lot, thanks very much for your reply tho,

looking good!!! i know that all growth is varied from strain to strain so they should be along soon i was just trying to see if anyone had a idear, the sweet tooth auto doesnt seem to be grew very much which i find confusing as it has a yeild of upto 200g per plant which i thought to be very advertising.

auto sweet tooth is a low thc strain, idk what it's lifespan is but just give it some time. sounds like it might need a more intense light but idk much about indoor lighting, i use the sun ;)

thanks for the reply, it is a 65 day strain (apparently) i never listen to these times, i just get on with it, it has never came to mind before, but is it possible to have mj with no trics at all?

thanks for the replys, sorry greenhouse i cant get any pics up atm my piece of s**t phone wont let me but before harvest i will get a new p.c, and my light cycle is 20/4 i think the temps drop quite a bit at lights off, i know autos hate changing the light cycle, otherwise i would just do 24/0 to keep temps up, i have never tryed out if fear of hermies but what would happen if i did change it? would this seriously stress her? i just cant waut for my last seeds to be used to upgrade, im getting a load of setup off a mate cheap so being my last cfl grows i want to get it right one last time, doesnt help that i used a new strain, im used to bf pe, only ever had 2 hermies, still smokeable tho.
