    Sounds like a good plan Rebro. She just started her 5 hours of sleep so I'll do the flush in the morning. I'll provide more info asap and in the meantime let me know if you have any more suggestions. Yes, feminized.

    Rebro, I'm using the Fox Farm line including Grow Big and Big Bloom so I don't think that is organic. The plant has really hit a little growth spurt just today and is now over 16 inches wide (at it's widest point) and almost 8 inches tall. That's a full inch wider and a half inch taller...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    Good news. The leaves don't appear to be curling down at the tips as much this morning. The width of the plant has increased to 15 inches overnight and the height has gone up .5 inches to 7.5 inches. Leaves are green but not dark green and no discoloration around leaf margins. The...

    Thanks for the update robro. Sounds like I'm pushing it with the 595 ppm. If the leaf tip dipping is present tomorrow morning I'm inclined to do a 6.5 pH water mini-flush and wait to see improvement for a while. The height of the plant today hasn't gone beyond 7 inches (3 days at same...

    Interesting greenlikemoney, it seems like most of you gurus feel less is better with autos. My little gal certainly hasn't been given much of anything to this point. I guess I'm an overprotective parent who doesn't want to make any fatal mistakes. I don't know when she will start...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    I checked the water runoff last night after I read your advisement above and it was 595 ppm so it looks like I might be ok. I'll pay particular attention to this in the future. Over the last few days the upper leaf tips are curling down a bit but there is definitely no yellowing around...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    Thanks again. From my log it looks like I've been averaging about 1/2 inch to an inch horizontal growth each day lately and height has gone up 3 inches in the last week. I didn't give the girl full strength nutes today but it was more than an eighth ration. I'll cut back the next...

    Hey robro, I do have a TDS meter but haven't used it much. I'll take your advice and check the ppm of nutes. Should I be doing half rations to plant even when using Fox Farm?

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    I forgot to add a few pics of my setup. It's pretty basic and I didn't put much thought into it but so far it seems to be working out as I expected. 3 sides made of pvc framing with mylar attached. All 3 sides connected together by zip ties so breakdown is a snap (or snip in this case)...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    I'm using 50% promix mixed with 50% perlite. Very light and drains great so I don't believe there will ever be a chance of me overwatering. I'm embarrassed to say but I started plant out on Miracle Grow for Tomatoes starting at 13 days and then switched over to Foxfarm nutes at 20 days...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    Here are a few pics. My lights are 10 CFLs - two (68w/4200 lumens/ 2700k each), three (19w/1300 lumens/ 5000k each), and three (26w/1600 lumens/6500k each) all affixed to an inverted 24 inch diameter round alumium pan which is hung above the plant. I also have a panel of red & blue LEDs as...

    My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

    This little girl is very bushy. I'm using multiple CFLs plus some LED side lighting but imagine some areas are not getting much light penetration due to bushiness. Should I be doing something? LST, topping, SCROG, etc?
