  1. I take it from the top of this plant and far to the right it is beginning to flower?

  2. Yes auto flower.
     
    I have a small flower tab from Nirvana in the soil, cut it up and only put about a quarter of it in the soil, i also put a little iguna juice in my last water, guess i will need to scale back on that?
     
    She is kind of stunted it seems, but still looking healthy.
     
    6 weeks in, shouldn't i see the start of buds now?
     
  3. Do you think that burn could be from a lack of nutes? just surprised as a beginner that this Northern light auto really has been going along with very little added nutes......
     
  4. leaf margins are curled up so the might be light/heat burn
     
  5. I don't think it'd be light burn using the cfl? Hell but I do see it. My last one, around week 5 of flower grew right into my hps and curled like that though. Make sure you're checking the ph level of the water. If you don't have a way, then get the blue jugs of water from walmart. They're always around 6.9 when I test them. Adding nutes to the water will bring ph waaay down to around 4 or 5 which is very bad (depending on how much nutes and what kind. Below 5, you may as well be pouring acid in there lol.
     
  6. but yeah 6 weeks in she should start flowering now. It looks like she is early stages. She seems like she's doing well other than the burnt tips and the curl. Temp may be too hot as the other guy said
     
  7. I have a PH kit, going in right at 7 and out at 5 in 5 gallon pots
     
  8.  
    PH is too low, temps too high.
     
    Everything I'm seeing on NL autos says they're a fast strain, around 60 days. I would've expected there to be more flowers at this point, my autos are usually in full bloom at 6 weeks. Here's one of my autos at 7 weeks: http://i.imgur.com/KHgyzJX.jpg
     
    IDK what to tell you about the flowering, but I would top-dress with 1 tbsp dolomite lime per gal of soil for your PH. When I run autos they get 20/4 lighting but I'd go 24/0 if using cfl... you don't have to close up your box until they start to smell so that should help with the heat for now. What are you using for ventilation?
     
  9. closet door is wide open and i have a fan on her, she doesn't seem to suffer from heat??
     
    doing 20/4 but i am worried about this not flowering.....I have read some posts of nirvana autos not flowering.....shit
     
    If im putting in 7ph and 5 coming out, do i go to 8? 8.5 in?
     
  10.  
    Heat stress is slight, not a big deal. I wasn't happy with my results from Nirvana either, never bought from them again.
     
    That's called "chasing ph" and it's a pain in the ass, not to mention inaccurate. You haven't been feeding it either so no salt deposits to flush. The right move is to adjust your soil with a ph buffer. I'm surprised you haven't had more problems yet with a ph of 5, is your meter calibrated?

    It is a pain, but she really hasn't been that fussy,  she looks good this morning other then some slight nute burn on top....
     
    I've feed just a tad with igunana juice and a small 8th of a flower tab i bought from nirvana, i also added less then a tea spoon of epson salt last week.....
     
    My biggest worry is the plant has got huge and i would like to force it into flower.....should i go 12/12?
     
    mete? i have that test kit, fla tap water here is right on 7 on the dot it seems.....should it be 6 coming out?? should i go 8 in next water?
     
    I watered her yesterday with zero nutes because of that possible nute burn. I hope isnt the opposite where its not getting enough nutes

  12. You could try switching to 12 12. It wouldn't hurt if you haven't seen any pistils yet. I have a few autos going myself. I've never grown autos before. I just wanted to do a comparison. I grew the same three as my last grow but used autos this time.
     
  13. Yeah, I may be forced to go 12/12, don't know what @[member="Thicken Dense"] thinks since he has a lot of experiance with Auto's.
     
    I may have a sulfer issue as well since my new leaves look light green? will put more epson salts in next water

    Check this one out for first grow its on week 2 its topped on the 2nd node because i want a micro grow . Its my first one ao i want to see how far i get and then go from there n get better things for the next one . Space is the problem so i want it short and bushy. Im wondering when should i start flowering. I put the pictures in order from when i started, but i couldnt take a pic every day but they go in order. The pic that shows its been topped is the one without the 2nd node in the middle.

  15. You can flower whenever you're ready. I usually do 6 weeks
     
  16. Ohh alright. And by 6weeks itll be big as all hell. I might start next week and flower for about a month or two or til its finished. Then upgrade the grow spot and make em bigger . I have more seeds so thats not a problem.

  17. My NL Auto finally began to flower, 6 weeks in!
     
    Guess the hard part starts for me sine this is a 1st......i've read to go easy on the water and nutes on Nirvanas Auto's. 
     
    I have igunana juice and epson salts and will give her a little in the AM......so how she does. I have an 8th of a flower tab in the soil as well.....i take it i may need to step up watering since she is big and taller now? 
     
  18. How can I tell if my plants are autoflower?
