is it just me, or when you LST a young auto it stops growing? i've tried it on three different strains, and after bending it over it ceased growing. yet when i LST bigger ones that have a bit of growth left, they branch out like crazy

i whould think that held some truth. cause if you stress them when there young they just dont grow as well..thats how its been with the ones i have grown..its almost like once they start to flower you cant stop them.
 
@Feva

Haven't grown that strain, but it looks VERY small for 28 days, not very healthy. Size-wise it looks more like it's around 8 days old, not 28 days, not to mention the damage to the leaves. I think you have a variety of things going on with that plant, and none of them are good. Good luck.

I was going to say the exact same thing.
 
the leaves with the damge was from in the begining. i think the soil was to hot. and it stunted the growth. but all of the new stuff is lookin good and growing well now. somone else who has grown this says its more of a 90 day auto so i think she will do ok in the end
 
Just ordered some Lowlife Auto White Widow's ill be making a grow journal shortly.. Anyone grown these before?

Yeah at a glance it definitely looked to me like the soil was too hot for it. The lower leaves are nearly destroyed and the growth has been stunted I'm sure, even though the new growth looks pretty decent. What soil was used with it? Also looks to me like it might not be getting enough light, it's pretty stringy looking, . What's the light situation with the plant? I did look up that strain and it has a pretty long flowering time for an Auto of 55-65 days, and figure 3 weeks for veg usually, so you're talking around 75-85 days total. You've lost nearly 3 weeks worth of development so if it does flower the yield is going to suffer significantly. Was it a fem seed?

On a side note, here are some pics of one of my Easy Ryders at 25 days from seed. The thing has been growing like a weed for the last several days, and it's currently a little over 11 inches tall to the top of the cola (about 12" to the top of the leaves). The stalk is crazy thick, I'm going to need an axe to chop it down by harvest time ;)

im not sure of the soil it was just some potting soil my girlfriend had around. she then put a true 60 watt cfl over it. im actually going to let her use my 150 hps since that gets used no more. im new to soil grows ive only done hydro myself. oh yeah it was a fem seed it was freebie from one of my past orders. alos the plant of yours looks nice man good work

Most household potting soils are too acidic, like Miracle Grow which will definitely do that kind of damage to a seedling, so that's no surprise. A single true 60W CFL should be fine for the first couple weeks, or for a plant that size, although if it were the size it should be at 28 days it would like a lot more light. If you loan her your HPS that'll do the trick of course, but if not, she needs to add another 42W or a couple 23Ws pretty soon. The 42s are only a few $ online, a little more if purchased locally, but anything higher wattage than that and the price jumps through the roof, so it's not cost effective to buy anything higher than that.

Well I hope it pulls through since it's a quality fem seed, shame to waste one of those even when it's a freebie. I'm growing a freebie Auto Onyx right now that was doing great until it was exposed to really high temps for a couple days just as it started to flower. Totally stunted the growth and it's barely done anything for a week now, so I can sympathize.

Oh yeah, and thx for the compliment on the plant. I have 4 other Easy Ryders going that are all doing great as well, but this one's in a league of its own as far as overall size goes, even though it's 5 days younger than one of my other ERs.
 
thx for the info enonumus. well i just finished up a 600 watt blueberry grow so im gonna help her with this and probably pop some autos myself for my next grow. i got cobras,blue him diesel,northern lights,bubblicous, and jack herrer.

Yum, got some good seeds there. I've been thinking about starting a Him Blue Diesel for about a week, but I can't decide whether to let this grow finish and take a break or start that one. I'd like to be done growing by Thanksgiving, and that only leaves about 9 weeks, don't think I'd be finished by then. Think I'm going to hold off until after the holidays before I start it. I still have a Super-Cali Haze, BCN Diesel, and Blue Hash too, but those are definitely going to wait until after the first of the year, and a couple of them I'm going to grow outside.

How'd the Blueberry finish up btw? Have any pics?
