Auto Topping Thread

Good work nutty mate.i do soak my seeds in watet for upto 3 days until they crack.then into tissue until have a long taproot and seed is split.i then remove the seed shell and pot the baby.100 percent success rate for me this way;)
 
here's an auto that was harvested about a month ago does it count as a topped auto :laughtwo: she started to grow again so i left her now she is re flowering after a month

not sure what's going on with her but she's starting to get new growth on the lower stock as well I won't get much off her at the most 4 grams but she looks cool ^_^ I didn't really do anything gave her some extra root juice from my seedlings and threw her on the terrace and she started to grow it's weird to say the least not very productive but why not right it's not taking room on in the tent and not really anything to take care of she just sits there collecting sun ^_^
 
Hmmmm. Interesting. Since it's an auto why did it respawn? Makes me think some autos aren't 100% auto. Correct me if I'm wrong here? Autos are born and have their set days to live then die?
 
inbox beast i found a write up on it from another forum. its really quiet an interesting theory it's kinda like re vegging but with an auto it just flowers when ever she wants to can only do it once apparently and only with small little popcorn buds that pop up but it does work a bit but for some reason from where I made a small slice in the stock by the base she's got a few leaves poking out as well I'll try to grab a photo of the tiny leaves poking out of below the lowest first node it's really quiet bizarre

Spart the link u sent didnt work mate.but autos i think are just ment to flower on their own regardless of light hence the name.u can shock and stunt autos to make them go longer. and they will still continue there life cycle properly.i wouldnt recomend cloning an auto as seen growers try with no success.however u can make ur own auto seeds from autos. by cross pollinating autos and this way i would of thought will give u the best stable genetic.if i missed anything out just fire more questions.;)
 
thanks a lot !! i've been reading your post and the other ones since yesterday , have it mostly clear .... except on the nutes part, i use GH flora series and cal mag, first week only put 2 ml of cal mag and 2 ml of hydroguard, the plant is begging for some N ,today im going to give her the first feeding on week 2 ,actually i already flushed with new R/O water ,put some hydroguard, but i usually wait till the other day , but the plant is getting very yellowish on the new leaf nodes , should i follow the chart of a regular grow that i have ??

flushed after two weeks ? two weeks after germination ? if yes, then it is normal that you get N defficiency: flushing removes nutrients from soil. Flushing solution even remove them inside the plants, replacing the nutrients by empty chelates.

NEVER flush before the last two weeks. People who do it before are either experienced growers using non organic stuff (organic requires much less flushing at the end) , or people who know that they made a bad mistake in the soil and they try to fix it. Generally, people do not advise to flush at early stages, this is high stress on the plant and it is a signal to the plant that it is the end for them: in response to this they produce resins, and if it is too long, they have great chances at becoming hermaphrodites, because it is its survival technic in a stressful environment like the one you are creating for your plants :-) Especially autos, there is not much to do to fix stuff if you have made a mistake.
With young plants, it is enough to "drain" (water until water comes out of the pot bottom), but I don't think it is ever necessary to flush before the end, except if you are trying to fix a previous excess of nutrients or acidity or something like that that cannot be fixed otherwise.

Now, you must put your nutrients again, but as you have already watered when flushing, you may have to wait for the pot to dry. You can also divide your dose of grow by 2 or 3 and spray it over the yellow leaves, rather than watering the soil again. Or re-water now and put a fan toward that pot so it dries faster.

Anyway, water or spray, use only a few xrops of Grow (see xhat your nutrient maker says) and it can take 7 / 10 days to re-greeen. Also, autos do not like N the first few weeks. Use less than 1 ml per liter if you have to use it.

Or may be I did not understand your post, but from my experience, if I understood your post, yes, you did a big mess ;-) No worries, it's the learning curve :-) Autos can be delicate.

Good luck !

hey spacef , i am growing in a hydroponic setup , i always wait 2 weeks to give the plant nutrients, but in those 2 weeks i only put 2ml of calmag and 2ml of hydroguard, then i start nutrients , but i am seeing today that, so i already went ahead and put 2 ml of flora grow , 3of flora micro and 2 of bloom .....also im not playing too much with the ph and ppm's gadgets , my source of pure water guarantees me the 6.0 to 6.3 ro water and lately i just see and feel my plants , and they will tell me what to do , but this is a new strain and diferent plant ... i will need all the info out there !!! thankss !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Orbi i never used those nutes. But u defo should not need to give any calmag at this age mate no need.maybe that how u got yellow leafs. I agree a flush will have shocked them abit but that depends what soil ur using? Does it contain any nutes?;) u have gave them feed now also so should bounce back fine.and doubt theyl hermie there still young.best of luck;)
 
oh ok, I thought that you flushed dirt-soil after two weeks :D lol :thumb:

I live in the tropics so deffinately not a temperature problem.It looks as though 1 will come through after a carefull germination inspection but the other 3 are non starters.put 3 more in paper towels so hopefully I'll have my 4 to top but 4 strains instead of the 2 I was hoping for

Where in the tropics I do too. North eastern Caribbean. Sometimes seeds just refuse to germinate. Just try again
