Can I top these incredible bulk Autos? Sounds like I've had bad info....had heard not suitable for topping...not had any experience of topping or lst, any advice on these?

Are they showing pistils yet? If so I wouldn't top, i like to top my autos but I do it around day 14-17 and the auto has to be thriving and doing great. If it's not healthy as a horse then I don't top. In my experience when done early to a healthy auto it doesn't bother them a bit. ..️

Thanks so much for your reply.

They are on day 24 from seed. It seems to be healthy as horse to me...more so than the others that are 3 weeks further on and have just started to show pistils.

Does it matter exactly where you make the cut?

Thanks once again.

These are the ones a bit further on.

Here's a chart that shows you were to make your cut. It also shows you how to find...️

Nice thread, Stinky! Seminole here.

Here's a head scratcher: I sprouted 5 Northern Lights Auto Feminized (from Vision Seeds) late last October. It took TEN WEEKS to start showing pre-flowers (about twice as long as it should). Furthermore, the pre-flower structures have been clearly visible at the nodes now for 3-4 weeks with virtually no change! Yet the plants themselves are big, BUSHY, robust, green and healthy looking. I've done nothing different from my many past successful grows. What could cause such a delay?

My Incredible Bulk Autos are on day 53 and still only showing preflower.... Advertised seed to flower in 8 weeks lol

Looking good Shlo! Just floating by and had an experience to share.
On the autos, I had one SD I fimed, and it just kept growing. I put it under 12/12 and she exploded buds. The nice thing was the flower all started at once so there was solid stocks of ripe flowers at once instead of the usual auto top to bottom ripe. It was so cool.
Peace

I'd heard to keep the Autos on 18/6.... Do you recommend switching down to 12/12...?

 

[Lowded118]

Well I'm new, I keep all my autos at 18/6 I agree however, I'm just saying one time I had that same thing and kicking to 12/12 and boom! I'll look for some info. Like I said don't know if it's the "right" thing but I loved my results for that one particular auto that wouldn't pop flowers.

Hey guys! Newbie here. I have a couple of Sour diesel autoflowers going in soil. They have been in the soil for 8 days now. Lights at 20" on 20/4 schedule. Water is in 6.5-6.8 range. So far, they are growing very slowly and having drooping leaves. I have been watering sparingly around the stem as I have read that overwatering is a no no. The top 1 - 1 1/2 is now dry with moist (not wet) underneath. My question is should I give a good watering today. How much should I water? Hoping these work out but not looking great :/

Sounds like your fine.

Pics would help. What are temps at and humidity ? Droop leaves could be a few things ? Also maybe try up your lights if you can if only 8 days to 24" see if that helps ? You want to see your fans reaching up ?

 

[cliftoma]

Temps range from 72 to 83F. Humidity is down today to 40%

Just water feed it around it but make sure you also water everywhere in pot so the roots can reach out. But autos not really they like going down south . So just water it it looks dry to me .

Also try to get that humidity up maybe a humidifier in tent or outside tent. Or wet towe hung upside down dripping into bucket ?


Or spray tent walls with water ?

Cool man. Yes, with the exhaust fan and small clip fan it is drying out really quick. Thanks for the advice. I appeciate it

the seedling seems fine but to me she also seemed a bit dry ... i am in coco in this stage i water in a circle around the sprout about 2 inch away from it i do this to make the roots reach for that precious moisture and thus expand into a bigger rootball ... only difference is that coco has a much greater wicking power or whatever its called so the moisture spreads better compared to soil ...
