Got bored so I decided I'd put up a few more pics of my pride and joy right now. I'm sure you all can tell which plant is which so no need to describe the pics. The bigger plant has really seemed to take off after the addition of 2 more lights. I'm wondering if I should raise the lights any to stretch them a little b/c the bigger plant is just under 2 inches tall and as you can see very compact. Does anybody have an opinion on that? Comment away and thanks for the help!!

Hey Kalen looking great man, from what I've heard about the proximity to foliage being so key I'd be hesitant to move them away, buy I here ya my little one so is so low to the ground I wonder about how much light the inner nodes could really be getting. I'm stil learning to roll!! Keep up the good work!

don't move the lights.. let her stay nice and short.. when she flowers she will shoot up about 3 times the size as when she started.

I can't wait to see how your PJs turn out.. I was gonna place an order but I think I'm gonna wait to see how yours do first.

Honestly.. I think that the potency of the autos are on par with some of the regular strains out there. if there was a way to get 3 or 4 oz off the autos! My God. LOL

You and me both buddy. I'm gonna start giving nutes this week to the bigger one but at very low doses. Maybe 1/8th strength or less since so much is riding on this haha. I'm debating between LST and scrog also. Just can't make up my mind if I just want to let it go or not. If you could pull that much from an auto that would be insane lol.

We might have some bad new. I think I may be lookin at horrible case of balls on the big plant. I'm gonna get a few pics of it tomorrow and see what you guys think. Bowl time to try and escape this tragic event. Still have faith in the little one tho

1/8th strength is perfect to start with when the leave tips start to yellow.. then bump it up to a 1/4 strength.. the thing with autos is that they mature so fast that you will probably only give about 3 doses of nutes. maybe 4 if you have a longer flowering strain.

The plant is just a little over 2 weeks now. I noticed the sacks a few days ago. The smaller plant flopped last night. It wasn't ever growing very healthy and just couldn't get over the hill. I grew it the exact same was as the other so my guess is it was just too weak.

Just the 2 sadly. I only got the 3 freebies of them. I have one left and am gonna grow it with a diesel ryder after i harvest the pollen of this one. Idk what the problem with the little one was. It just never really got going after it sprouted. I'd say it was just a bad bean since the other is still doing great
