Are my plants ok? First time grower: Autoflower

[Jenn6981]

You are correct it’s a 2x2x4.
As you can see with my humidifier in there plus (1) 3 gallon and (3) 1 gallon fabric pots it’s full. I’ll be honest I didn’t know theses plants would be so thick. I thought they just grew strait up. Someone told me from looking at them they are clearly indica dominant autos....not sure if that is true.
I am Leary tho about cutting or trimming anything simply because I don’t know what I’m doing quite yet.
and yes I am amAzed at how much these plants have filled out. When I look closed it’s like 4 to 5 layers of leaves. So of course I was like whoa.....

Ha, ha, yes you’ve got a full house already. But like I said someone else who grows autos all the time might say - top 2 of the smaller girls to slow them down. Yes they were right indicas have fat, wide- fingered fan leaves, sativas have long but skinny fingered fans. Large majority now are hybrids anyway so there’s some small amount of sativa in those indica dominate plants. Yes they are stacking layers quickly, and looking dazzling while doing it.

Lets give you an edge... even if you cut that plant in half right now.... I can still fix it.

How you ask? ... I can cheer you on and talk you thru dropping more beans and replacing that plant. Yes it may take time but (collectively us at 420) we can get you thru it.... you may lose pride or a few bucks on new beans but we can get you back on track even if you feed them diesel fuel. You are savvy - you will do just fine!

That’s perfect I prefer indica dominant plants! So that’s awesome news!

Update here are the plants now.
Today is water day....
Mind you I did take off a lot of fan leaves, based on a you tube video...
Hope I’m still moving in the right direction
3 gallon plant is 15inches
1 gallon plants are 9inches

Here they are today. Just growing growing growing.
At any point do I trim anything or the stress training I have heard about?

does anyone think they look a little droopy? Or is that how they look during flowering?

Looks good to me, I mean yeah there’s some droop or thirst or slight wilt going on but no biggie... are you dosing with bloom nutes yet or still doing just cal-mag only?

Yesterday was my last day of cal- mag.
Starting fox forest bloom nutrients tomorrow

 

[013]

sounds great on fox farm bloom nutes, you will still need the cal-mag going forward but don’t double down and give it again tomorrow - wait for next cycle. On your next feed cycle it’s ok to mix up the FF and add cal-mag all in to the same batch.

 

[Jenn6981]

Thanks good to know!
I’ll make sure I do that.

 

[SeniorMoments]

Ok so I found this pack online. I’m assuming this pack contains the cal mag and nutes, I need? Any suggestions on which bottle I use first? Also it looks like they won’t arrive till next Wednesday? Is that too much time to pass?

If you are going to use FoxFarm products , use the ones on their soil schedule ( see attached photo )
Follow the schedule. I use no other nutrients .

 

[SoGnotSOG321]

Look at the tip burn on those, that's nice @SeniorMoments is that full strength on the FF nutes?

 

[013]

Jenn, Senior moments has a good valid point...hold off on the cal-mag on the next pass, just do straight up FF for a while and see how she responds! If there’s a deficiency later on then you always have the cal-mag to fall back on. FF does a pretty good job of balancing out.

Thanks @SeniorMoments

Actually , This was a couple weeks before harvest and I pushed recommended dosage a bit for the last couple weeks prior.
The opposite of starving them .

I wasn't being sarcastic at all, sorry if it came across that way. I mean they look good. Got to have a bit of tip burn

Didn’t think u were. I agree some burn is OK based on many of the more experienced growers here in the forums.
I was trying to get the maximum benefit the last few weeks of this grow by pushing past recommenced dOsage.
I think it worked.

Hello All!
Update 2 days after first feeding of fox farm bloom. I did do some leave removal wanted to make sure no light was being blocked. (Hope I didn’t remove too many).
Note to self my tent is clearly too small for 4 plants
The 3 gallon plant has shot up. Any suggestions on what to do if it outgrows my tent???
See pics below
As always, thanks everyone for your tips and suggestions

Hi Jenn, Wow your crew is really taking off! On height problem, that tallest limb could be tied down.... or another possibility is to supercrop it 1 time - that is to bend it at 45 degree angle, then give her a couple days to heal and bend / super-crop it with another 45 degree angle.

It feels pretty harsh to do a super crop, like you are gonna break or ruin it. There are pretty dang resilient especially now that she’s got legs under her. Do you have some garden wire to support the limb? Maybe tie to tent pole & just help support the weight so she doesn’t flop. Often the bend will create a knuckle which strengthens the plant. There is regular garden wire but foam covered garden wire is my preference. You don’t want garden wire to cut into plant skin

as always.... see what else comes in

Yes we shall see what happens. If I need to raise my light I can. I’m kinda afraid to mess with the branches....because I feel like I took off a lot of leaves. But I will certainly see.....
Right now I plan to alternate between water and feeding every 3 days and see how they do

@InTheShed has a tutorial on supercropping that really helped me out.
