Not being a dick, but what else would u expect? Fem autos? lol Come on man! :)
Ya, I have to admit, nooby blunder. But now it is what it is. I get it now. It's my 1st tent grow also. I used Autos because there supposed to be almost turnkey. I call B S. My 6 year old Mistery Reg seed way out performed it.
No more autos, they have been too finicky.
9 months now and the Northern lights auto are a 2 weeks into slow budding.
Thanks for the constructive criticism.

They don't have the best rep with several threads here bashing them.
Any suggestions on where to buy seeds If everyone here worked together we might all find a good source.
I'm testing The seed connection right now. I'll let ya know how it goes.

So you've had good germinating % before?
Every seed I started this round from Humboldt, Copa, Mosca, Freak Genetics, Omuerta Genetics, Michigan Marijuana Seed Club all were in soil within 36 hours.
22 seeds-100% germination rate from every breeder.
Culled out the males, gave a few away, ran 20 clones that got given out to close friends and have 12 monsters growing in the swamp boxes.

Actually, yeah. Every ilgm seed but 1 has sprouted and grown excellent until flower+ 1 month. Then is when the problems started. Grower error here. Bad ph, under/over fertilizing. Then powdery mildew and spider mites. My problem with Ilgm is terpenes. I want them. They haven't shown me what I need . Most of their stuff is not stable. The stuff is fine but just. I want the flame. My N.A. order will be on way soon

While alot of people do fine topping autos you better know your beans tendencies or you can stunt it and hurt the yield. That gg4 auto started flowering 21 days in. Yes it can be done. People say never transplant autos but I can/do no problem. But I would lst 1 and top 1 of the same strain and see which works better .

Topping it early on was a mistake but if you are talking about the 3 I chopped, they were males.

I started LST as soon as I could. It's in a 15 gal bag so I have plenty of room to work it. I tied it down in a counter clockwise circle. It's looking good and happy. This is day 40 and lots of bud.

I got 3 freebe seeds. By the time I get to the 3rd seed, one at a time, I'll know how to grow autos.

Looks like you have quite a bit of time growing autos. I'm open to any sugestions, please, and thanks.

C+2P0 is doing just fine and looking good. Topping her didn't seem to slow her down. Last couple of weeks I've read just about everything I could on autos. BTW, that name was supposed to be a "droid" name, not a drone name.

I am curious about Critical Mass + 2.0 autos. They were free with my Diet Durbin THCV:THC. I planted one DD at the same time I did the auto. The schedule is change theq lights the day I harvest the auto. If I like this strain I may get regulars for outside.

You will be happy with the LST results. The first couple I tried looked a little lopsided, but still did ok. I tie them down now like an s&m hooker. LOL. I like using pipe cleaners so it's easy to adjust them. Usually I get 13-15 decent colas around a big central one. I definitely rather have more smaller ones than one giant cola. That big un is alot easier for PM to invade. 4 auto grows in and I'm still learning. I'm not the biggest fan of autos. The bean banks act like they are easier to grow. The only thing EASIER I've found is the light issue. Also if you are desperate, you can have smokable weed( but just ok) in shorter time. I just rather have photos. Easier to fix problems without hurting yield ,and better terpenes. OTOH that mephisto "Creme de la Chem" looks really good. I won't order any more ilgm autos. They are a grab bag of phenos. Hell my last gg4 looks and smells just like the wwautos. Nothing like the others. Good luck!
