Well the run off is not as important at the start because you are and have not been using tons of notes. I dont get run off really till my auto start to flower when I bump it up to a half gallon over other day. Use the bloom as soon as u see little pistols coming out of the tops of the plant at that time you should start the half gallon of water every two days . Everybody's setup is different but that should work if your temps humidity and everything is in order

Like that? The first is the critical and it looks like pistols are showing. The second one is the white Widdow and doesn’t look like it yet. I heard once you give bloom nutes it stops growing in height?

That is wrong my keeps growing in height never has stopped so that is not true yes the one is ready for the bloom the other is not. Also if u have not yet I would start lst if it is not to late. Start bending the branches gently for a few min a couple times a day it will help the branches grow out instead of up which means more light penetrates the canopy

Yea I heard it stops stretching and it’s good to start bloom nutes after the stretch. I’ve never done that I’ll look into. I also noticed a few days later a couple burnt leaf tops and I only used 1/4th dose. I’m gonna give it straight water next. Should I keep the same nute dose after, lower it or go up to 1/2 dose. There were only 2 leaf tips a little burned...

Litan if u look at mine alot of mine have that it's going to happen it is almost impossible for that not to happen I would go up to half then go up more and yes water next then nute then water then nute and so on. That whole thing with the stretching is wrong from experience I always give it bloom nutes as soon as I see pistols and mine grow insanely more so dont believe that look at my plant u will see alot of the tips are burnt but it's nothing to worrie about

Ok ok I have noticed that the tips of my critical are twisted why is that? How high should my 300watt LED be above my plant? It’s at about 18-20inches...

During flowering I keep my led 12 inches away sometimes 16 if I need the coverage. I have a viaspectra 450 reflector series and mine is 16 inches away right now. If u look at mine they do the same thing I would not worrie about it send a close up picture of it so I can understand it better and I will write back asap

In the first pic you see the twist at the top. Right now they’re about 17-18in above the canopy. I have a Mars 300 hydro and a Vipar 300. How do they look? I just gave them some great White last night...

Yeah that's not a big deal that's normal l would not worrie about it your plants look great man very healthy great job. Maybe lower the lights to about 14 inches and see how they respond a few inches could make an amazing difference and if u feel like there was no big difference u can move them back up. Or u can keep them where they are but I always try to find better ways to make my plants stronger

Here’s a little update on my critical jack and white Widdow autoflowers. The smaller one is the white Widdow at 4 weeks and the big one flowering is the critical jack at 5 weeks. I’m gonna be posting pics a few days a week if anybody is interested in seeing how this comes out! I had the light at 18 inches and they both grew towards the light to 14 inches. I just raised back to 18 and I’m gonna let them grow again. Flora nutes next. Gonna go 1/4 gro/micro/bloom for jack and 1/2 gro/micro for Widdow. Keep you posted guys! Any questions just ask!

Ok ok I like to watch grows man keep updating I will follow
Here’s a little update. White Widow At week 5.5 and Critical Jack at week 6.5. Growing in nicely now. The white Widow is a little smaller also because it’s a little younger and takes a little longer to grow. I gave the white widow 1/2 flora Micro 1/2 flora gro and no signs of nute burn. This strain likes to eat and isn’t nute sensitive. On the other hand I gave the critical jack 1/4 flora Micro/veg/bloom and it got a little nute burn at the tips. This seems to be a sensitive strain. Should I back off and go 1/8 or keep it as is. The tips of the leaves on the bottom are burning but everything else seems to be going well. What do you think?

So here they are! The critical jack the bigger one is at 10 weeks from seed and the white widow is at 9 weeks from seed. The jack is getting fat but the widow seems to be growing slow. Does that strain take a little longer to grow? Will the buds fatten up more?
