dwarf help

[jchap]

hey everyone, it's been a while. Just started growing some autoflowering dwarfs for the first time, speedygonzalis and santa.

Problem i got is they have only been down 11 days a already the pistels are showing and they are not even 5 inchs yet

Is this normal? should i start the flowering nutes yet?

got lights on 16/8

just worried that its all happening a bit quick

any help whatsoever would be appreciated

they are doing exactly what they should be doing. if they go from seed to finish in ~55-65 days they don't have much time to work.

suggested lighting for AFs is 20/4.

i would gradually introduce your bloom nutes.

ok thanks ill do that but i was hoping for at least an oz per plant

what is the average yield fo af?

by the look of these the yield will be minimal

so lights will now go on 20/4

thanks again

we all hope for large yeilds. lol. there are so many factors that go into a yeild that it's not possible to even guess.

what lighting are you using?

thanks again mate im not so worried now
just from past experience when they start flowering (not af) they tend to stop growing verticaly, if that happens with these im screwed

as i say not grown af before so fingerz x

weed in uk is really hard to get hold of at the moment , old bill doing to good a job

price is ridiculous £200 - 250 an o

Dont worry. The AFs grow real slow at first and when they do start flowering (2-3wks) they explode with growth. I would expect them to finish around 12-15" tall, taller if you are lucky. Dont be surprised if you get half an O a plant...

thanks GTOD do you agree i should go 20/4?

[jchap]

just checked your af's and mine look a similar age bit younger
do you have pistels? (punky lion pic)

20 / 4 is a must. As well as lots of light. Allow good root depth. transplant to final container by week 4 . as well as light nutes. start flushing at week seven. find one you like and stick to them till you can perfect them. then you will get an O a plant.:thumbsup:

[jchap]

thanks for the advice mate
will post pics soon
plan is to thow some more down soon
constant harvests would be awsome

A fellow patient was kind enough to allow me to show his Big O auto's. That what he calls then due there constistent yeilds. That is where i got the light cycle and amounts.He is an auto guru who has schooled me well.....:thumbsup:
