Thanks for that. I’ve changed the timer to 12/12 and fingers crossed

Should I give more nutrients. I’m giving her just a standard dose as per the packet

Sorry if I’m a bit naïve about it all but this girl is growing her first auto

Can I get some more deets on you bulbs, they look very much like the ones I run for cloning but a different K obviously



Also, it would seem as tho your "auto" has been stalled by the mites which could pay off in your favour... looks like your only just hitting true flower now but its had a very decent amount of size during the slow growing 63 days

Once we hammer out your medium, nutrients and light details, I think its gonna be easy to see you straight buddy

Thanks

I’ve got 8 x 100watts LED bulbs which is a
About 5000 kelvin to try to spread the light around but

I don’t know the PAR rating unfortunately

I’m using a generic plant food
She’s growing in a garden potting mix with pearlite

She seems very happy but I’m wondering if she needs a bigger pot

I wouldn't repot her. I doubt that's holding things up and if anything you'll slow it down and maybe hindering your yield. I'd say it looks a little hungry so maybe increase the feed a little. My money is on the LEDs you're using. I doubt they're giving enough energy off to produce large flowers. You'd probably have better results using a cheap CFL ir if you can afford it, grab yourself a little horticultural LED or even a small HPS.

But I'm no expert buddy. Wait for the other guys to confirm as they're the experts. Good luck Guitar65riff !

Thanks some good advice. I’ll up the feed a little too. I’ll see how she goes with that and the 12/12 and look at changing lights in a few days

All you guys are wonderful

What's the brand and nutrient your actually using? Just so I can check out the NPK and recommended dose

I will suggest some cannabis grow nutrients in future tho

Yeah, your gonna need something for bloom pretty soon imho.

That's a general purpose even NPK. Your gonna want something in the range of 3:5:8 ratio or you'll have nitro tox issues later on

For now tho, 3ml per litre of 15ml per 4.5-5l like it says should be more than enough

Do you think the lack of phosphorus would cause the plant to flower slowly like that GMO?

I wouldnt say that should stop it like that. Constant stress of an auto and mess with times but I dont think a deffo would

Tho as has been said auto Gene's could just be dormant, where I had 100% abused a plant trying to flower

Ok so I bought some low nitro feed. Flushed her through and then started with the new feed. Changed to 12/12
She looks happy.
I noticed some of her roots are poking up out of the soil and she has outgrown her pot. Is it ok to repot her at this stage. If I’m careful.
