Should rootbound autos not be repotted in the midst of flowering?

I've heard they don't much like being messed with.
I transplanted an Auto Hindu Kush (pretty plant, nice aroma) and it stunted, sure it grew bud but was super small..I called it a Jamaican Christmas tree and gave it away as a chrissy present. Picks in my journal with my sig.

Hey everyone this is the weight off each plant dried and going into jars from my last grow ~! So /so
sweet seed fastbud= 18 g
samsara seed thunder bloody mary = 15 g
samsara seed ultraviolet = 30 g
greenhouse seed green o matic =32 g

fast bud was my fault.the other 4 seeds came out big and nice. This time i used smaller pot and bad position in grow area. Ultraviolet and green o matic are the strongest hitting from my samples!!!

Surfhead- Did you feed them anything? What sort of soil mix did you use?

Sorry, if you already mentioned this. I 'm curious because my Fast Bud started yellowing after I gave it a bit of organic nutes, early into flowering. The buds are slowly developing, I hope I didn't set it back. Also, I'm thinking about cracking my Green-o-Matic bean, after seeing your photo, and I'm wondering how you managed it?

Ya i mixed bio-tone starter plus into my dr earth potting soil ,then feed them just ph balanced water till about wk 3 then i started half dose earth juice bloom and blackstrap unsulphered molasses 1 tablespoon per gal , then full dose wks 4-7 ! All my plants except green o matic had some yellow leaves early on in flowering, prob needed a little more nitrogen for first 2 wks of flowering ! I soak my seeds for 24 hrs in water then right into dirt and planter and thats it . ALSO MY BIGGEST BUDS CAME FROM 18/6 LIGHT THIS LAST ONE WAS 20/4

This time i did 20/4 , but iam going back to 18/6 i had better results with that. What week is your fb in ? From my notes on my biggest two fb they were in week 5 when they really started to swell up and fill in.


JUST STARTED 2 MORE ULTRAVIOLETS ON WED. BOTH SPROUTED TODAY !!!! WAITING FOR MORE BEANS TO ARRIVE !

Yellowing leaves are normal , when its close to the end.,just using up all available nitrogen from them . What size pots and ph are things to look at . Give it some molasses when u water next 2 weeks and see if that helps swell it up

Ok. I'm going to give it a bit of seaweed one more time, too. I think I caused the problem with some organic mite spray. I did it as a preventative, but left the light on. No problem the first time. This time seemed to cook it.

Thanks for your advice, Surfhead. Autos are new to me.

Nirvana Bubbalicious is NOT auto at all. I had two that germed. They both had to be forced to flower. Then just today I noticed one of them had hermed. Damnit! It was over a foot tall and looking good. It's now in a garbage bag. No I didn't clip the balls, tape them, apply honey or glue like I've heard people suggest. Never getting Nirvana autos again.

My girls are under 12/12 1000w hps with normal strains that have a short flowering period. Like Skunk. I'm sure the auto's would do better under 20/4 or 18/6, but it was just part of my experiment to see what direction I wanted to go with strains etc. They are in 3 gallon pots with Formula 707 from Roots Organics. They are getting cut off of nutes aand I'll run water with Botanicare Raw Sweet. I'll post more pics before harvest.

Fast Bud Auto is doing ok. I have two and they started flowering under the veg light. They are short. I'm hoping they bulk up during the last couple of weeks. This is my first grow, so I have nothing to compare to.

Sup kenji,, from my experience and a few other pals id stay well clear of any nirvana auto!!! another seed company cashing in on the trend,, solid reliable strains,,,<auto of course> lowlife,, sweet seeds, the onyx ,not sure of seedbank of hand> and pakistan ryder,, best biggest yielder in my opinion has to be the easys, not had one fuck up on me yet!!!! touch wood!
Stay savvy

Havnt read to many good things about nirvanas autos, my new beans finally arrived after 3 weeks from attitude ,, i have 2 samsara ultra violets going now 1.5 weeks old , i reordered some green o matics theyve been good to me!also got some short stuff auto assasians and some big budda autos,before anyone orders any autos i would recommend doing a search to read other reviews of the strains they want to order a few bad grow reports and i stay clear of those , just an update on my ultraviolets that are curing in jars . Nice tasting ,pretty potent also . So i would rate them 7.5 out of 10 , greenomatics are 8 out of 10 ,sweet seed fast bud 6 out of 10, samsara thunder bloody mary 6 out of 10

(kenji kohan) those autos will probly get half the yield on a 12 / 12 than they will at 18/6 or 20/4 ,my biggest fast buds where 24 inches and 18 inches tall with an oz plus yield but that is under cfl lights but also had a small one under 15 inches .
