Hi everyone, update on my first autoflower grow. Really appreciate everyone’s input.

sugar cookies
And pineapple ex

27 days in all temps and humidity are correct, ph as well. Under a 600 watt hps 2ft from canopy.
Have done some more lst, this morning and they seem to ok. Would love to here some feedback on what you think of the height, width, and this maybe a silly question but any guesstimates on how muck yield I’ll get…? oh also, I know ones a runt but I left it in anyway. And I didn’t train the other one as I thought it to small???

Thanks everyone

As a newb myself and only in the second grow ever I would say your looking good just remember don’t do what I did and cut it down too early lol I hate to say it but you’ll learn all the bad things along the way. Just keep plugging away and listen to the people in the forums

Hello, thanks for the reply?. What do you mean “ cut it down” as in harvest? Or topping? Cause I’m not gonna top them….
ThNks again

Forget estimating yield - too many factors come into play … like environment , light cycle , genetics, etc.

What light schedule do you have for these autos ?
medium / nutes / temp / rh / water etc.

Hello, yep that’s why I thought it was a silly question.
20/4 lighting
Temp ranges from 20-30 degrees Celsius
Medium is 70% coco peat, 15% perlite, 15% vermiculite.
Humidity about 50% but fluctuates a bit.
These are the mites which I’ve been giving half strength twice a week.
Watered with water at ph 6.5

thanks for your input. Are they going well do u think???

Those nutes should be fine. Would be nice to see a picture of the label showing the ingredients and NPK.

That isn't coco peat which is just coco coir. I see wood chips so that's some kind of soil that probably just uses coco instead of peat moss. What exactly was it?

Plants look ok so far but the runt looks a little off.

Oh bugger, so what was the end result? Small buds and less potent?

Big colas, amazing looks, quality is sub par. I have the same plants in same tent I just let those go after consultation from the people on this forum. These guys/gals are amazing, I harvested way too soon they let me know and I appreciate the honesty. I have these others under my SF2000 (bad ass lights) been two weeks since I was stupid and the difference is huge.

The only thing I can add is next time start training sooner those are about to enter flower. Start at like the third node. You'll have more under growth flower time instead of them doing their stretch just to grab a little light.

Thanks mate.
Yeah was a little hesitant to start training early, but thanks for the input. When should I stop training? And if when do do I take the strings off…?

You guys down under have different labeling requirements. Here in the states we have better labeling requirements and ingredients need to be listed. That's just a feeding schedule. But that nutrient is most likely all you need.

That mix is apparently all coco. Must just be larger chunks of coco mixed in. Looked like wood to me at first. But there are coco chips as well.

It's difficult to answer that question since I don't know what's in it or what the strength is. But it says 4/4 ml for each part. The plants look like they're getting what they need so I wouldn't advise doubling what you're already feeding.

I'd wait until they start showing pistils and then maybe bump it up to 3/4 strength when the nutrient requirements are at their peak and then start tapering down around week 6. Don't let it dry out and feed with every watering.

You can lower the light some as well. In fact if you have a sealed hood you can get 12" from the plants with a 600 watt HID without any problems.

Good luck with your grow.

Hi again, I took your advice and lowered the light, but awoke to very droopy plants this morning and they’ve never looked like that. And had little growth, whereas I usually can tell they’ve grown a bit.
thought?
