My pleasure dude, more than happy to help :)
Can't wait to see your progress, any problems along the way and just give me a shout dude, I'll do what I can to help.

Just chopped this beautiful autoflower down yesterday evening... ended up with 354g wet weight so I should get a nice stash once it's all dried. It's a Think Different cross bred by a friend of mine, Yodabuds :)


Anyways buddy, I'll talk to you again soon :)

Yeah Dr Grimm was around last time, but I think this trip will be more about the sativas so the Dr G will be cool to try.

Nice mix of plants dude. Some I can see have been stunted slightly so they're flowering early so they're gonna finish rapidly. You probably won't get a lot of bud from those if you keep them but you will at least get some smoke to keep you going till the bigger, fatter plants you have in there finish. What are the bigger plants in there btw?? One looks a lot like a Jack Herer but I could be wrong....

I'd have to see some pics and hear a little more about its growing conditions before I could really tell you anything dude but if you post a photo or two I'll check her out and if you can let me know what's her current feed, pH of the medium and feed, grow room temperature, etc, I'll do what I can to help.
One thing I can tell you about Pineapple Express is it doesn't like high temperatures. That strains thrives better in a cooler environment but there could be a lot else wrong so drop me a bit more info and we'll see what's going on :)

Yes I have 2 jacks n there. Anyways. Wit da p.e. I put them down in late Oct. Tent temp is 73. 24/0 of lite. I water every 3 days. i feed every 8 days calmag, floralious plus, floranova grow. I have bud candy but haven't gave any to my veggies. using pro mix HP with black cow manure.

Hey dude :)

Those three plants at the back look like your soil is too hot or they're being fed too much too early. Those crispy browning edges are a sure sign of nutrient burn.
If I number them in order of picture 1, 2, 3....
Then in my honest opinion, I would kill number 2 and 3 and start some fresh beans. Number 1 will bounce back easily with a few drenches of plain water but I'm afraid the other two look like they're a bit too far gone to really salvage a decent harvest.

If you're feeding this same regime to your other plants you posted in the earlier comment then that could be a reason why a few plants have stunted and flowered early.

I would knock the nutrients on the head for a few weeks and just feed them plain water while they feed on the nutrients in the soil. I would stay like that until the plants have grown up a wee bit and are beginning to show signs of hunger then reintroduce the nutrients but at a lower dosage than you're feeding them atm. Autoflowers tend not too need to many added nutrients during their veg cycle.

Hope that helps dude :)

Cow manure would be my suspect. I've literally burned every single auto I've grown when I've tried to add manure. The only one I've found I can get away with is bat manure.
Again though, my diagnosis would be nutrient burn so flush them through with plain water and stick to feeding them pure H2O for a while :)

Ok in finna snatch 2&3 rite now. N put down ice bomb and bubba bomb from bombs seeds. Can leaving the girl n solo cups 4 a few weeks stunt them

It can do if you leave them in there for too long but 2-3 weeks should be fine. Most of my grow buddies do this all the time. So long as you transplant them before they show sex you should be fine but the earlier the better really :)

I am glad to see some people still running autos...i have two diesel autos seeded up but they come from five year old beans...more like novelty plants due to their small size...six and eleven inches...frosty as hell...for me they are keepers

Howdy, CaptainHowdy! Great thread, i cant disagree with any information on here! On my next grow i will try your recommended Feeding Schedule, giving them veg nutrients for weeks 4-6, instead of flowering nutes at week 5. Checkout my thread under Grow Diaries > Autoflower Strains > "Dinafem Sour Diesel Auto DWC" I hope you find the into useful. If you find something you presume to be false or incorrect please quote it and let me know, thanks. i update / post pictures and info every week if not daily. STAY HIGH , ColoradoGrower

Well alrighty then. How's everybody, quick question for autos. Is FFOF ok to start seeds in from start, or do I ripp a couple jiffy pucks and use in center of pot to start seed in? I will be starting /finishing in a 17" selfwater pot.

You can start them in any fox farm dirts! Be careful of over-watering. Tiny seedlings do not need the entire pot soaked. Goodluck

@ColoradoGrow thanks for the reply, I figured it'd be ok. 10/4 on overwatering.going to germinate tonight, VIRTIGO/paradise seeds

I've got 2 purple kush autos at 2 days old..this is my first run with autos always being a skeptic but figured I'd try me out..just wondering would I stunt the plants by topping once? I've got limited space in my cabinet and don't wanna run them into the lights lol

I've heard they don't like it. That's what @CaptainHowdy has said.
