Auto Growers Unite: A Community Thread

hey guys .... i need some diagnosis on this pic :

this is a purple kush auto sitting in a 6 gallon coco under a 270W LED at just veg setting. 18/6 cycle
feeding 3/4 strength cocos a+b nutes at ph 6.0, runoff measures between 6.0 and 6.5 which seems ok ...
 
I did top one last night. One of my GG. It had single bladed leafs on top. So I thought it would be a good one to experiment with. That one had all single blades on its first two nodes. Now all new growth is looking normal.

see ... good ... it happens that you get that on second node .. no worries

Are you giving any cal mag? Coco likes to horde it. That's the only problem I don't like about growing in coco
 
So I went ahead and flushed my Pineapple a little over a week ago. Last 24 hours she sat in darkness. Today I trimmed her up. I've read a lot about trimming after the dry, but it's so much easier fresh off the stalks. The plant wasn't very big, but the buds she did produce are rock hard. Next to no squish they're so dense. If I had to guess, I'd say 30-35 grams.

Now I just have my ww to worry about. About to start a new journey I could use/will need the communities help on - growing outdoors. It gets hot where I'm at. Really hot. To make matters worse, humidity levels are also outrageous. So I imagine this will be a difficult challenge. It'll cost to much to run my set up through the summer, so I'm gonna toss a WW outside and see what I can do. Any tips on keeping a plant happy outdoors in high temps and humidity.
 
This was my thought process too on my firstgrow - except I topped one and left the other to just grow - and Unless you're dead set on doing that for the experience, I'd strongly suggest LsT on your ladies. It's super easy and will easily double your yield.
I don't know if you have checked out my thread please do it's under my username and it's called my new afghan kush dwc and flower mother's, please check out I love plant training just first auto run still have lots of beans so this one natural next one training
 
This may not be every ones idea of Lst. :smokin2:
Not topping and doing Lst worked well for me though.;)
It is the sister to the topped White Widow auto that I posted earlier.
Felt like more than 2x what the other yielded.
I apologize for double posting the second picture.
It is there for comparison. :allgood:

Side note. I make the comparison because I want most yield without extending time.
I want to keep to a strict rotation of harvesting and adding new plants.
Most of the strains I have are 10 weeks or so.
 
BTW I hope no one thinks I'm bashing autos. I'm not. I have high hopes I can put them in my veg tent every now and then with good results. I'm not expecting anything out of the ordinary. Just wondered if this situation is common
I do love my auto's but I do know that some auto's are not really stable so I pick only high quality seeds and watch the reviews of them. I'm a beginner grower and I harvested my first plant in march, an Northern Lights autoflower home breed from the store I ordered the seeds, grew her under a 15 watt LED light and the Dutch winter sun and still got 40 grams of her...

Here is a picture:

This is her just a day before harvest... I think.

And... here are all my seeds, mostly autoflowers but I still think that I want more...
 
Kinda looks like the beginning of light burn to....well not burn but stress and interfering with photosynthesis

hmm i must say that was also an option in my diagnosis list ... to amend this i just angled the led so it wont bombard the plant at a 90° angle ... my light is already at the highest possible height but still the heavy lenses on these 3W LED's focus the light i guess ... the anoying thing is this light is only putting out 1/3 of what it can cause in VEG setting it only uses 1/3 of the diodes ... i will post a pic
