Autos started flowring and are very small in size, should i start flowering cycle with nutrients? or should i delay?
18/6Looks like your DLI might be off too. They are very stumpy and i see some curling.
How many hours do you have the light on?
How close is it?
Whats the model/how many watts?
Yeah that was a head scratcher to me as well when I realized that... kinda defeats the purpose of "faster" plant, because you can do the same thing with a photo by flipping it sooner and it will be bigger and probably better... so what even is the point of an auto? I guess that's why so many people hate them lol.Keep your lights on 18/6 is my suggestion....no real need to flip to 12/12 with them as they are not photoperiod. 6 hours rest should be plenty for them. Take it easy on them and let them stretch otherwise they'll forever be runt. They're a picky bitch
What had me scratching my head and was hard to understand was that whole the plant (auto) is quick to reach the flowering stage....the flowering stage isn't necessarily quicker (unless you got the fast bud version as well) mine too average time to finish at 9 weeks of flower...the 5 weeks of veg had me expecting 5 weeks of flower....if that makes sense
My reason for growing autos is simple, in my Bay Area location, I don’t have a tent, just a plant on the balcony.Yeah that was a head scratcher to me as well when I realized that... kinda defeats the purpose of "faster" plant, because you can do the same thing with a photo by flipping it sooner and it will be bigger and probably better... so what even is the point of an auto?

Yeah they definitely have thier place, but in a controlled setting like a tent... they seem a little pointless to me.My reason for growing autos is simple, in my Bay Area location, I don’t have a tent, just a plant on the balcony.
I can run a round of Autos early in the growing season without concern of the lengthening days. Later in the season, the light cycle that nature provides works for Photos, but in the early season, for me, an Auto or two allows me a grow.
Most importantly, it’s fun to watch things grow and learn.

Sorry Thread Police... I'll keep my stoned ranting to myself... I was under the assumption that posting on a thread with no responses was sometimes helpful to bump up the traffic. Obviously I know they are good for places with with weird light schedules, but most people that grow outside don't live near the poles... I meant for the average Joe in an average area... but thanks for trying to make me look like a dumbass lol.Point of an auto is to flower in places on the planet that don't have 12 hours of darkness
Good for very specific scenarios but that's for another thread altogether. @TSD stop derailing threads! :)
I didn’t know this that’s good to know. My auto’s flowered in 3 weeks from sprout. I’m wondering if that’s why. I’m using 2 100w leds.Are you under a full spectrum light? Autoflowers do much better under blue ir light, full spec light has red in the spectrum and can cause autoflowers to go into flower prematurely and possibly dwarf out, as mentioned they need blue ir light, leave them bc you really do not have much flower to enhance.
I never really thought of that lol. I wanted to do another run between my winter grow and my outdoor plants so I figured an auto would be a quick run. I should’ve just used a photo and flipped sooner lol I actually havnt had many issues with them so I’m not against them I just wasn’t a fan of the 1 week veg before it flipped lol would’ve liked 2-3 weeks.Yeah that was a head scratcher to me as well when I realized that... kinda defeats the purpose of "faster" plant, because you can do the same thing with a photo by flipping it sooner and it will be bigger and probably better... so what even is the point of an auto?

You realize blue and ir, are at different ends of the spectrum.....?Are you under a full spectrum light?

Yep happens to me every year with auto flowers. You never know try getting seeds somewhere elseAutos started flowring and are very small in size, should i start flowering cycle with nutrients? or should i delay?
