Autoflower 2 months into Veg - First grow

[slixz]

Hello Everyone!

I started my first autoflower inside, while having it under 24 hours of light for about a month. After that I put it outside and it exploded with growth, and still going being little over 2 months old, it's about 140/150 CM tall - Strain being: Blue dream from humboldt and soil: Biobizz - Light mix

So my question is, isn't it unusual for an autoflower, not having shown signs of flower yet? Anything I can do to push it into flower, any nutrients etc (I've been using the Bio-series nutrients).

Sorry, you have a bunk autoflower, by day 30 at latest you should see flower, at day 60 your auto is nearing the end of it's lifespan, you could take it inside add bloom nutrients and cut your light cycle to 12/12 but alas I think it's to late.

Autoflowers are touchy, never run them 24 7, it unnecessary stresses them, autos are time oriented and if you can help it don't top it slows them down, by day 21 strain dependent your auto should hit a growth spurt, this lasts for 10 to 12 days after that it will slow considerably continuing to flower till it tops off around day 45 or 50, at this time switch to bloom nutrients and change the spectrum of your light to full bloom. Plants will finish around day 70 give or take, pic is purple kush auto at day 73.

Hmm very interesting! I'm sad to hear that it might be too late for my girl, but ohh well. Thank you so much for all the information, learned a lot from my first grow and will do things different for the next. I will move it inside and give it a last try for a 12/12 cycle, with full bloom on my 1000watt light - Been too hot for me run it out inside

In my humble opinion you stressed your auto to much, autos do not do well outdoors, you should run them on an 18/6 light cycle, don't try to feed till there 3 weeks old, autos are notoriously easy to burn if the directions say add 1 cup add a 1/4 cup, go real easy, real easy, after your plant stops growing vertically it will continue to flower, at day 40 to 55 strain dependent you add bloom nutrients again go real easy I use 2ml atami BLOOMBASTIC in a 1 gal jug and you still must water it down, I don't care what seedbanks say in my opinion autos are harder to grow than photoperiod plants, they don't run the same, but the main problem is seeds when they get them right it's great but its a rare auto that won't give me problems, I live in a city were cultivation is illegal so for the last 8 years autoflowers, if you need help or advice don't hesitate ask! As for your plant go real easy on bloom nutrients, cut your light cycle to 12 12 and see what happens cant hurt, try sweet seeds there great, methesto is out of stock, Buddha seeds autos are only $25 but as they were only brought to f2, there barely stable, keep yor temp around 75f, keep your ph between 6.00 and 6.5, make shure the leaves are pointing up to the light not shying away from it I use 600w led and I'm good at 2ft, you have a 1000w light you will have to move it higher, allways have a fan on your plants they sweat under the lights the airflow will help stop mold, keep it simple, clay for good drainage, I use fox farm ocean forest 4 parts medium 1 part pearlite for airation, botanacare pro grow, i tbl spoon per gal water down when feeding, after feeding observe your plant if your leaves are vertical you od your plant, for bloom 2ml atami per gal watered down before feeding, same drill observe your plant if your leaves are vertical you gave to much, with autos Less is best!

I probably did stress them too much, but I'm learning haha. I've been hitting the PH at about 6-6.5 so I should be good on that front, my problem with growing indoors is that it's becoming too hot (which is the reason for why I put them outside during the hot summer here). The coolest I'm getting inside the tent with humidifier and lights off during night time, is about 70F. I really don't know how to reduce the heat, raises all the way to 85F+ with lights on during the day. Any tips for this?

Same here, I had to buy this thing called an airconditoner lol, it's the dew point that messes with your plants it should be between 40 and 50 a plant should handle 85f max but you want to keep it consistent around 77f, unless your growing out of doors nature takes it's course, if your indoors under lights and it's summer an ac is a must.
