Oh yeah! They're putting it on now! Nice!Day 28...end of week 4 from sprout. I did not top this grow, you can see the S-shaped main in one of pics. LST finished up between week 2-3. Plants height 12”, grew 4” since last week. Saw a little nute burn on the tips earlier this week; went with 1/2 strength nutes when I watered three days ago (PH 6.5). No visible burn today on the new tips. Hoping for considerable stretch the next two weeks. Some good secondary bud sites developing. No f-gnats or sign of other pests. No other issues to report. Smell is ramping way up since last week. Breeder states 9 weeks total from seed; assume they will go somewhat longer to ripen. Pics from this afternoon.

Looking very sativa now, 3 days into week 5. Still stretching and watering/feeding every 4th day, more frequent than my first 2 photo grows. Slight nute burn on the tips corrected after feeding half strength last water...took the Biocanna Biovega back up to 2 tsp./gallon; still adding 2 ml TPS organic cal-mag/gallon. Buds are starting to fill and swell a bit...smell is skunky. A few pics from this morning.

SO...these autos...weird to actually see growth and change daily...also raising the light daily. Starting to think about how much more I can raise the light...I have at least another foot. I haven’t tested having the light closer than 24”...but could probably get away with 18” and gain another 6”. We shall see.
It's a space race! I'm always surprised how close plants can get to the light if they have to. Good luck, You got this!

They grew 2” in less than 24 hours. No sign of nute burn on the new tips. A few pics from this morning.
Beautiful cr8! It's nice having the canopy on all of them around the same height. Great job.

Thanks MrSauga, the mains really cooperated getting them below the side branches early.
Absolutely what MrSauga said! Sweet run!
I can’t say it enough my Braddah!! You are gonna be stoked come harvest!! I swear I can’t light up a joint of this stuff without someone asking “what is that?!” It’s loud and has a very distinctive smell I’m told. I wouldn’t know as I’m on the inhaling end 
Plants are looking solid my Braddah! She is gonna start packing on the weight fast!

SO, your Godfather OG looks fantastic. Loving the changes almost daily with these autos...some flowers already swelling, looks like calyxes will be huge. I will be dropping the end of week 5 update today...anxious to poke my head in later this morning.

Day 35...end of week 5 from sprout. LST’d mains are stretching a bit more than the other bud sites on 2 plants. Tallest tops now 19”...+ 7” since last week. Back to full veg nutes after backing off last water. Watered yesterday PH 6.5, 2 gallons across four plants, now watering every fourth day. Plan to change to flower nutes when stretch is done. Also plan to then swap in my 3K bulb for flower...is that a stress/hermie risk for autos? My limited experience is the redder bulb really produces amazing flowers. I added a 3rd fan low for airflow. Trimmed off first true leaves. Seeing some fan leaf consumption low...good. Buds are surprisingly swelling...week 5...what! Its getting cooler here at night, my night lows will be 62-64 F...hoping to get some good fall colors off these autos. Pics from yesterday and today.
They sure look sweet brother! When I ran cmh lighting I don't believe I noticed any stress when I changed bulbs for flowering.

JCTJ...I am very excited about the turn time for my single grow cabinet. If I can pull 1/2 pound plus each grow with autos in say 10 weeks I can fill more jars with more variety. Im hoping these auto buds are as frosty and amazing as my first 2 fem photo grows. Looks very promising at week 5.
As you know I'm getting ready to do my first auto grow where I actually train the plants. I'll basically be doing whatever @Sunnyskies does to his plants (to a point) as far as training goes. I've always just planted the auto seeds and let them do their thing. The last one, a Colorado Cookies auto reached over 40" in height and almost 30" across. Not gonna fit many of them in my 2' x 2' x 4' tall tent.
I hope when my plants are 4-5 weeks post germination they're looking like yours are now. What catches my eye immediately is the healthy color. Gorgeous looking plants.
