Just wanted to see if this is generally normal growth after a week since first showing in the Root riot plugs, there's no heaight tk the 2nd on but im basing that on the height of the first plant

I'm having an issue with my humidity that I'm hopefully sorting but that besides any comments from anyone at all?? (2 plant pics attached, one for each plant)

Your first two week are slow up top, but VERY BUSY in the root department.
When you hit week 3/4 they will develop quicker up top.

You look good for now!

Thanks for your your reply, I keep looking at them thinking "how are these ever going to be ready in 8/9 weeks", never used Autos and only just finished growing my first ever plant (not auto), semi successfully,

Good luck!
It looks like you have a lot of Perlite, which I always think is a plus with AUTOs and their life cycle.

Is it 8/9 weeks from first appearance or does that mean once it starts flowering its 8/9 weeks till it's done? That's my question but I grow photo period

I didn't actualy mean to grow in Coco, when I bought it from Amazon it said "Potting Soil" but I didnt read the description, I just went for it as it was light and easy to deliver,

So I'm on a completely different learning curve now, I've all the Bio Bizz nutes from my last little grow and I know I can't use them with Coco, so I have some Hensi TNT Complex for when I start adding nutes

8/9 weeks from first showing I believe

AUTOs usually come in 8, 10, or 12 week cycles, depending on the parent plants that are mixed with the Ruderalis parent.

Typical AUTOs are 10-12 weeks seed to harvest. Most have a week or so where they mix VEG/FLOWER growth. They are still doing VEG growth, while developing fruit. You are typically IN FLOWER by week 5.

Gotcha. I am 64 days since my girls made their first appearance. So a little over 9 weeks, they are in flower stage now though. It would be nice to be harvesting right now though. I think I have another four or five weeks of flowering until I can Harvest.

Really, in flower week 5!!!, well I hope the veg hurries up,

I'm running 24/0 (read loads, all had different opinions so I went 24/0) with a 450w LED on full spectrum, I did ask on another thread if I should keep it on Veg or switch to full power, so I'm on Full Spectrum (just hope thats right!), what do you think???

How big are they? Do you have any pics?, would be interesting to see your progress?

Auto.Tents · Mar 15, 2019

Just check the trichomes.

How?

1) Get a Jewelers Loop, like
*Depending on how couch lock or active you want your fruit to be*
2) Typically when you have 75% of your Trichomes turned from clear to amber *check the pic), You are ready to harvest
3) Harvesting PHOTO vs AUTO
Unlike a typical Photoperiod Harvest, It is advisable to harvest your AUTO's fruit in layers. You can get additional growth from lower, less developed fruit.

The Ruderalis part of the plant is the difference. The plant does not stop developing fruit after the top half gets chopped.

Depends on the PAR rating at the canopy.
That's the true amount of light that effects the area.

Unfortunately all LEDs (and even HPS/MH bulbs) are not equal. So it is hard know what kind of light and at what amount of lumens your canopy is absorbing.

So, Google says (good old Google) that you need a PAR sensor to measure the light (what have I got myself into, my brains going to explode lol)

Izzy1980 · Mar 15, 2019

I bought myself a Jewellers loop for my first plant, really really amazing to see the trychomes and how they change to amber

Auto.Tents · Mar 15, 2019

Yeah, there are affordable PAR sensors. If you get one, I suggest one that has a wired photoplate or sensor. You will be able to move it around your space and take readings to adjust your grow. You'll be shocked how often you use it to develop your LST skills.
