i have a 400 watt hps, 4 plants, 3 are auto seeds ,1 is blue mystic from nirvana,

i just started flowering 2 weeks ago, but my question is why are my bud size small, i am currently using fox farm soil and give them a flowering how you call it, a freaky thing called "blood juice" as a nute boost, i vegged them for 1 month and switched to flowering about 2 weeks ago, WILL POST PICS SOON, help!

i have the hps light a foot away from my plants, so i put the light farther so the plants fight harder for light and grow bigger nugs? also should i remove the lower branches to create the top branches more focused?

i should have supercromped/bend and pinch the plants during vegging, also how do i do Low stress training LST?

really? i knew something was up, i mean i didt pinch the plants during vegging so that mistake 1, i didt veg them too long , just 1 month, that mistake 2,

autos are quick, but less yield? what do you recommend for big yields?

auto yield less, need more energy ( longer light cycles ) and dont have the same potency as photos.

Btw you should NEVER top or try and train autos. same goes for trimming anything what so ever. just let them grow in peace.
reason for this is that autos life on time rather then lightcycles. this is why they flower regardless of what lightcycle you use, even 24/0.

Also what do you mean you started flowering? i sure hope you dont mean you turned the lights to 12/12 cause this is a complete waste when growing autos. anything below 18/6 i wouldnt recommend!

And dont put the light farther away dude! NO! you want the plants to spend energy budding or stretching towords getting sufficient amount of light? a lanky plants wond be able to support much weight either.
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT BURNING THE LEAF TIPS!!
Light close!


There are a LOT of good yielders out there. Before you ask for strain advice, decide what type of cannabis you want and for what purpose you need it. if its for treating a medcial issue a for a specific activity like jamming music with friends or anything.
Decide what type of high, smell taste potency sative/indica color of bud.. the choices are endless :).

And about supercrop or lst again NO. this is for Photo plants. Autos are to not be trained it will do more harm than good!
