Heat (light) and ventilation issues - new air needs to be replaced every 30 seconds or so Do you a list of heat and light and ventilation issues if you want them

Pistils show your plant is sexually mature,you will get preflowers in a week or so,if preflowers pop,youll have max another week before flowering begins.Preflowers will look like a small cluster of immature calyxes surrounded by pistils at the termination of your top shoots.

Example this plant is just starting preflower.

Cool thanks for the advice, on that note I will be LST'ing the sweet dwarf in just a few minutes. As for the other two I am going to give it a couple more days to get some more height on and produce one more node because they are a couple days behind this one in growth.

Resinhound, i have somewhat of an issue ive tried to lst but the plants are so bushy and not that long that when i pull the plant down on the side the bottom 2 sets of leaves cover the nodes, i need some advice from you or anyone that can help me out with this!

If you gently Rub the stem of the fan leaf, to make it more pliable, you can tuck it underneath, exposing more tops.
Hope that helps.
Peace

Im not sure exactly what you mean by this.Cannabis generally grows symetrically,bend the plant over between the nodes.When new shoots start to rise you should tuck leaves and expose the leaves on the shoots you want to grow.

Hey guys, i just hit the 2 week mark into my autoflowers i have growing. I have a royal bluematic, a purple ryder and a sweet dwarf. I'm growing in a 2x 2.5 x5 tent and i'm using a t2 1750 led from tasty led. I gave them their first nutes about a day or two before the 2 weeks mark which is fine. And i am running on a 18/6 light scheldule.
(fed with fox farm liquid soil trio) also using fox farms ocean soil mix in 3 gallon bags.

The royal bluematic looks as its not doing so well which i figured when i planted the germinated seeds i knocked the royal bluematic grow bag over by accident and the seed fell out it was almost about to pop out of the soil too. So i put it back in and tried to give it a try if it would still work. So i wouldnt be surprised if that one doesnt make it.

The sweet dwarf, middle plant is doing very well thick stalk has produced in the past couple days

The purple ryder , Right plant, is doing well too. Just a little behind ingrowth from the sweet dwarf which im fine with because they are different strains they wont grow exactly the same.

I have some concerns and maybe you guys can help me figure it out, They are growing and looking pretty healthy but the size isn't there. i feel like they should be taller at 2 weeks, they are short and the height is taking much longer to grow. I am switching the plants around from the left side to the middle to the right so they all get equal light distribution. I'm hoping somebody can chime in and let me know if im just worrying about the size for the time frame i'm at right now or if something may be wrong.

hey man, i didnt end up lst'ing them. I think i will next run with autos. Idk why i decided not to just scared alittle. As it is my first time growing autos ever. Ive decided to just let them grow with no LST. I did however try lsting one of them but it didnt seem to work out. Its weird because that one looks like its almost lst'ing itself LOL. Like theres big side branches coming out all over really far. And they have the same shape that the lst does to the branches its pretty odd. But the other two are growing nice there all around 2 feet and very bushy lots of node sites. I will post up some pictures in alittle.

Believe it or not that 20/4 light schedule over the 18/6 makes a big difference in the end

hey johnny ive been running on 18/6 the whole cycle. I believe today marks the 5 week point so i will be adding in my 3rd nutrient. I am however considering switching it to 20/4 until harvest. Ill post some pics up in a few.

Try to maintain good temps and humidity,run atleast 20/4.One of the main advantages of autos is the ability to veg/flower under the same cycle.People who run autos like a photosensitive plant are missing the point.Feed them lightly,most autos dont like heavy nutrient concentrations.About 1.6 ec or less in full flower is usually plenty.Do use lst,pull down branches,distribute those auxins and create alot of tops,fimming is useful for controlling height,its debatable if it increases yield.Dont top them,Dont supercrop,these things take to much veg time from you and last dont be impatient when you are ready to harvest,wait a week.Good luck.

This right here.

I would also ask why are you giving nutes? That soil is good for a while.

Don't let a bottle tell you when to feed a plant, let the plant tell you when it needs feed.

You are over feeding it. That will stunt it.
