it looks good for the pot size from what i gathered most NL's run alot longer then the rest of the auto strains
i have a royal queen NL that really just started flowering at 40-50+ days
looks good no burns or nothing good color just dont get impatient and cut yourself short on yield by harvesting it early let it run until it lets you know its done

Looks great. It sounds like you are going to transplant them -- just be careful when you do it, autos are a bit temperamental. With such a short life-span, stunting their growth can drastically affect the yield.

Something I learned with autos is not to over-react to a perceived growing problem. If you have not conclusively determined the cause of some plant issue, it is best not to take action. Again, these plants are programed to flower and die in such a short amount of time...throwing a bunch of "fix-it ideas" on the plant may cause it to stress and lose a bunch of bud development; when mother-nature says it's over -- it's over -- forcing your plant to spend 3 weeks out of a 10 week grow just trying survive your "treatments" , is going to make you and your plants sad pandas.

Have fun...

Yeah definitely let it take it's time to finish, cutting early is the absolute worst thing you can do. And take the breeder flowering times with a grain of salt, especially for autos, they kinda do what they want, when they want to do. I saw preflowers on my last one at week 4-5, then it just kinda sat and vegged another 4 weeks, then it really started flowering, and ended up finishing in about 15 weeks from seed, sounds much like the track that Tek is currently on, just let 'em roll! Looking good so far though, should be a keeper.

I got my fingers X'd on the transplant for ya aaronlala. Good luck with ya grow and for the pot size she looks ok just take your time and don't rush anything I did on things with my first auto and yielded not much at all,although I learnt alot from it and a selected few on this site so I did still gain. Take the right advice and don't be over "motherly" on it and I'm sure you'll be fine :) ..GL

i've grown several nl autos and they all were fine. my biggest yield from one plant was nearly 4 zips but most produce around 2 z's. i always sow the seeds directly into the finishing pot to avoid possible fuck ups by too much handling. GL

My advice for autos. Give them as much light for as long as possible. Yield 70 days from seed +/-10 days.
Do not top.
Approx 3-4 weeks of veg time... give it lots of light, maybe LST it if you can.
they would do well if you stake them once they stop stretching and tie limbs that are getting too heavy to other stronger limbs (a pseudo scrog)
I would do Bubbleponics with clay balls. Just beware the vibration the air pumps make can really make a lot of noise. Bubbleponics has insane growth rate and grows massive roots after just a few weeks. I just can't do it because it would make too much noise for me.
HPS.

how and when can you determine that it "stretches"?
Click to expand...
by the space of the internode- the amount of stem between a node and the next. Less internodal space more compact plant, more space lanky stretchy plant.
Yes it does look a lil stretchy but that seems to be from the flowering stretch (see elongate internode between nodes 3 and 4 has stretched for flower).

Like herb said you could probably lower your light a bit just stick your hand under the light at canopy level it it feels hot its too hot for the plants and so raise it a little and check again.
color and structure are nice esp. for your first grow nice start GL with the rest of the grow

I would love to hear an update on your Auto. I had a question on your nutes. I have Jungle Juice as well and Autos. You use all 3 parts at the same time? I am getting my schedule figured out and was wondering if all 3 parts at the same time is the way to go.
