My girls on my last grow averaged about 24" of stretch. Shortest ended up @ 30" tall, a Purple Silverback.
Interesting. I didn’t know that. I have always called the first (often three point) leaf node one. So I’ve been topping above five by this definition not four. Good to know.
This has been debated quite a bit in the past. I have seen node 1's growth, as I count it, grow up to reach the canopy... so I can not be convinced that this is not the first node. Others say it has to be counted from the first 3 pointed leaf... whatever works I guess... but we really should standardize on at least this. Sadly, we never have... sort of like flushing and phing.
Lmao! Agreed! What’s flushing?
Can’t wait to see how she’s doing EmOur auto is starting to suck up water pretty fast.... I think that after 9 days of dribbles and drabs that she will finally be ready for her first proper watering. Pictures tomorrow. These pictures are from the other thread... I messed up and put them here by mistake.
You’ll be surprised how long before it flowers I bet. I got 36 days from Titan, the most time I ever got. The literature I sent says 35-42 days for this one! Time enough to top good side branch candidates if you wish (I would).Our Auto keeps getting bigger and seems to be gaining some speed doing that too. She still hasn't managed to drain the cup though. I am going to make her earn that drink. See that Purple Kush seedling in the background?
That small plant has already managed to drain the cup the first time. It just got a drink this morning. The Auto did not. Maybe tomorrow. She doesn't seem to be hurting in any way, and she never did complain about the full dosage of Geoflora either.
I am betting that she will need water tomorrow. She is a big girl and already is trying to send node #5 up, but that isn't going to work for her. My little cuticle scissors are at the ready, and just as soon as I can get on it, #5 will be history. Then I want to see this famous warning that "an Auto will stall out if you just breathe on it wrong" hit us here at Emmie's Gardens. I expect it to start flowering right there, on the spot. Egads... the things we do for science!
I am looking forward to seeing her bloom, but I can see that I still have lots of valuable veg time with her too. She is just moving faster in some ways than most plants do, such as in her vertical size at the moment. My last check on her last night showed that I am going to need to top off that 5th node soon, probably today at the rate she is growing right now. I am also pretty sure that she will get her first proper watering today too. I have been refusing to give her this drink until she earned it, forcing her to go as dry as the Sahara before doing so. Today should be the day for watering to runoff, and that means she is going to get a huge hit of the Geoflora that has been sitting there mostly unused all week. I suspect this is going to become a fairly large plant by the time she starts to bloom, despite this slow start. So far she is a cute little thing and is still living in Veg Room #1, but shortly after transplanting her, she will probably need to move to Veg Room #2 and start claiming space under the much bigger light in there.
Thanks! And yeah that’s what I found - they’re all small and cute at first, but then they start feeding for real and something….happens. Lol. They take off.
Impossible. It has to be a photo.
She’s probably going to go into a growth spurt now I don’t know if it’s the same with photos but I find they will just grow like crazy for a few days then do more the following etc. that or I didn’t know what I was doing and mine was crying for helpOur Auto definitely drained the cup overnight, and got watered to runoff this morning. I haven't been up there yet tonight, but I expect that she is now using water at a crazy rate and is already feeling light. I will find out after dinner. Here she was this morning, drooping a bit, needing water.
How long do you figure before she moves to her forever home?? Asking for a friend!!!
It will be a while. She will first be going to a 1 gallon, and by the looks of things, that might be happening soon.How long do you figure before she moves to her forever home?? Asking for a friend!!!
