Hey guys, I'm about 30 days into my autoflower and she is finally starting to smell like bud, but it is extremely faint and only once in a while. It's a greenhouse seeds northern lights feminine auto flowering under an 85w 6500k cfl about an inch and a half away and a 20w 2700k about an inch away. The last picture is with the flash on so it appears as some leaves are yellow, but I assure you they are all the same color. Although the bottom 2 leaves that first sprouted have yellowed and fallen off, from what I've read this is normal when inducing flowering. I'm running 20/4 by the way.
Wow 30 days man thats really small especially if thats autoflower its gunna flower soon your soil or something must be off.
She looks reasonably healthy too me dude. Maybe a bit dry and your mix is probably very N high which is ok at this point anyway. The issue is light. She needs more much more. She will produce but no where near her potential if more light is not added.
I know a little bit about plants, and autoflowers are supposed to be small so I don't know what you mean by "especially if it an autoflower". It is really shitty soil, out of my flower bed.
The general rule is 100w per plant, and I have 105w. I know my lighting isn't the best, but it is the suggested at least
If you are going to answer your own questions what do you need us for? Why would you use soil from an outside garden? What botany or horticulture book did you find the 'general rule' of 100w/plant, that is just ludicrous. That plant has about 60-65 more days to go max. With that much light you will not yield more then 7 gms dry and that is a stretch. Good luck
In my opinion, that plant is rather small for a 30 day plant. What levels of humidity are you getting in there? Are you sure it's 30 days? Is it from seed to 30 days or germination then transplant to 30 days? Lastly, I thought this was funny
I'm not answering my question, did i say anywhere in here "my plant is big enough to flower"? I used the soil from my garden as that is all I had. If you look around the forums you will often find "the general rule for lighting is 100w per plant and then 50w more for every plant added."
Taco, here is my current autoflowers on day 36... check my sig. to get all the details on my grow. Yours do appear quiet small in comparison. But they do look healthy atleast! Good luck with the rest of the journey.
Humidity is around 35%, it's 30 days starting from when the seed was germinating, thanks for pointing that out so In reality it's about 27 days.
Thanks for a positive answer, my plants are small due to the lack of lighting in the beginning. I hope to restart after harvesting this one. Also whoever said 7g's is all i will harvest I'm completely fine with that. Ill be happy with 5 g's
For your next attempt id advise planting in bigger pots to avoid root bound plants. also do yourself a favor and pick up some good soil - Fox Farm Ocean Forest is a good soil for autos, has enough nutrients for atleast the first 3-4 weeks. and soon after that your auto should be flowering so all youd need to do is flush the soil and start adding flowering nutes. Again, Good luck.
This is the last auto I did at 30 days, 250w mh/hps and 4 35w cfl's...No where, absolutely no where will you find anyone who says that 100w per plant is a rule of any kind. Sorry but you have been severely misinformed.
Rofl RULES..... Feels like im back in highschool 100w per plant is more of a guideline and everyone who has said this to me also finished their sentence with " if you want a decent yield"
Its you who has been severly misinformed. The rule of thumb is 100w per plant, you can do with less but you're sacrificing potency and yield. Ask any other seasoned grower and youll get the same response.
I meant by "especially if it an autoflower" that ur stuck with that small plant cause its gunna flower soon regardless of 24/0 20/4 or 18/6 if it wasnt an auto u could leave it in veg for another month to grow bigger. If you aiming for 5g maybe u should just pick up locally.
I'm not aiming for 5g's but that would be really nice. Yea I realize that now, hopefully ordering new fans, panda film, and some lights and white widow x big bud
