First Grow Opinions - Indoor Auto

How's it going everyone this is my first grow, just passed Week 9, all I can say was it's not the best nor perfect, but was and still is a great learning exp.

Seed - Advanced Seeds Top 69
Container - 5 Gallon
Soil- MG Organic
Nutes - Fox Farms Trio - Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching
Lights - 6 Higher lumen(cant remember at the moment) CFL bulbs
Light Cycle - 24/0 veg till week 6
Flower Cycle - 20/4 flower week 8 - Currently doing 22/2 at just before week 10

Things to take into consideration
-First time
-indoor
-only Managed to get Nutes around week 3-4
-Learned about LST'ing a little late maybe week 3-4 (Made it Stretch Quite a bit)
-Learned about Topping Late Aswell
-Slim/Tall one stretched main cola about 2-2.5 Ft and Not much yield with about 20 sites
-Not Bushy like most ive seen just spread out
-Lower Leaves Are Starting To turn yellow/shrivel/feed?
-Yellow/Curled up tips on most leaves
-Haven't started using cha ching as of yet.



-*-Definitely would like to keep it much shorter with my next seeds.



Don't have too many shots of it at the moment but will upload more soon any advice or opinions for future would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jkba

All sounds good.

Yes I've heard your not suppose to top autos, I haven't done it to this plant, but for the future I also have a few Kerala X Skunk#1 and 1 Fem Northern Light Blue.
Definitely will look into getting some high discharge light in there, I heard when flowering begins a different light spectrum color is better? More White/Blue? or more Yellow/Orange?

Yes Everyday ! Will be updating with some more pictures shortly !

Here are some more shots I took at night, been busy the last few days to do much, but soil looked very dry, So I gave her a good amount of water and good feeding of nutes, I always spray/mist my leaves afraid of overwatering that I guess I never noticed how dry the soil was, best way to describe it was if i pulled the plant out the soil would most likely come out clean in 1 piece (the edges of the soil were drawn in oops).

Any recommendations on feeding/watering? I try to do it twice a week usually Weds/Sun of everyweek, once in awhile give or take ill wait a day or go a day early depending on how she seems (It's weird I feel like I can tell when shes thirsty or not now haha)

oh yea the pics lol




(sorry there sideways, dam phone camera)

(Any Tips/Suggestions to fatten these guys up to full potential before harvest?)
((The bottom budsites nugs have a LONG way to catch up to the top ones, opinions? ))
