Hey guys these are my 2 autos I’m growing 1 is quarter pounder and other is cheese they were freebies from canuk seeds. This is my first time with autos. These pictures are from today and are 23 days from sprout I’m watering every 3 days or so with sensi grow a/b and I’m running 450w led in 4x4 tent. I have 2 of the 450w leds, was planning on having both running Once it starts to flower. Can I get some feedback on how they look ? To me they seems happy and growing at a good rate. Pictures aren’t the greatest but I’ll upload better later today

Hey. Ive been growing some of those 1/4pounders from Canuk recently, figure i can offer some advice. Bit of a temperamental strain I found. sensitive to nutes and light burn. Careful not to overfeed. They were also super bushy and didn't stretch very much for me, so you might want to think about some defoliation early into flower in a couple weeks or so. I had PM and bud rot problems because of how dense these grew and regretted not thinning them out more. In the end most of the 3 plants I grew went to hash and cannabutter as the bud wasn't very great. Sorry i hope that's not a big downer, but I definitely made some mistakes that hopefully you can avoid. Hope you have better luck than I did!

Thanks for the advice and info I will definitely do some thinning out. should wait until week or two into flower Before I do so? What were your yields on the 3 plants and under what light ? Just curious lol

Ya wait a bit for it to bulk up first, it'll probably start flowering within the week here, then I'd give it another couple weeks of LSTing while it stretches, then thin out any big fans leaves or offshoots that are crowding too close to your main colas. I got between 2.5 and 3.5oz off of each plant, they went not nearly as big as I had hoped, and I have grown bigger and better yields under the same conditions. One had nice dense buds, another went all foxtails on me, and the third was somewhere in between the others. Two were under a 200w (actual draw) LED full spectrum light, the last one was in a greenhouse.

both plants ended up with spider mites due to my photos (5) that we’re sharing the tent together. Took the photos outside to now flower hopefully on time.. probably not though but I did get rid of the mites and also with the auto but had to spray for 3 days and a lot of defoliation and for 4 days I removed plants from tent and scrubbed entire inside and out wit bleach and water followed by soapy water. Now I don’t see any but I hope these girls make good recovery. Pics attached are from today .. so 23 days from sprout . First 3 is auto cheese
