Had missed this! I pinched my first plant just recently, like within a week. I think she took it well, even though they say you shouldn't do that to autos.

I have a question, though. Why do you keep them in plastic cups? Doesn't that slow them down?

These two are photo plants, and they'll be vegging for months. They actually benefit from transplanting, as Duggan pointed out. They're also growing in Doc Bud's HighBrix Blend kit soil, a system that encourages at least one transplanting per cycle.

If you haven't met arteekay and Jay, you need to make their acquaintances. arteekay has a flair for training autos, and he religiously beheads them around day 12-14. They're pulling in 4-6 ounces with great regularity, so he may know a thing or two. We blew the myths about autos out of this site when we were priveledged to have Atrain among us. arteekay kinda filled the void for me that was there when Atrain left.

The basic rules with autos are simple:

- plant them into the pot they're going to be finishing in. I get away with not following this one because I transplant earlier than most, but then, look at my DDA and ask yourself if I might have screwed her up with transplanting? Maybe I'm not getting away with it.

- 20/4 lighting from seed to harvest - no exceptions

- if using nutes, don't switch to flowering until they've been flowering ones for a couple weeks past when they start blooming

Aside from those basic rules, all bets are off. LST to your heart's content and give her as much light as you can get, then sit back and enjoy the show.

Sue, may i.....it's best to keep them in smaller containers until the roots are well developed, then they go big! It's good practice to up-can at least once during veg. It helps build a strong hungry root system. Cheers gang........i wish you guys would bring me back the keys ....DeLorean just sittin here lookin pretty w/ no friggen keys. I'm bettin Canna took it out...prolly still in the future!
