Autopilot xxl grow

Have an autopilot xxl plant going supposed to be a “74” day plant but I’m coming up on 90. It had a finger from a leaf in the roots I didn’t catch right away (dwc). Trichomes are cloudy but plant is premature but doesn’t seem to be stressed and drinking a lot of water. Anyone seen that?

Don't believe the timeline that they give you for an auto is number 1 thing! I have a blackberry auto that was supposed to be a 60 day plant...I'm going on 90 plus days and not even close to harvest. I'm beginning to think autos are a waste of time, since you can flip the switch on a photo when you want it to start flowering. Just keep taking care of it, and let her go. She will keep plugging along and you'll eventually get there. Plant looks nice though....
 
No, here she is at 98 days....you are not alone

​​​​​​​That's one amazing monster tree you got there. A beast of a plant! Whatever you are doing is working and she will finish beautifully based on her appearance. Looks a few weeks away at least so I'm sorry you will have to wait longer than expected, that is one of the most difficult aspects for me.

Autos or photos both can be much longer in flowering than what we expect. As long as we keep em alive they always seem to provide a bountiful harvest in due time.

I’m gonna keep her going and keep close watch on trichomes to make sure they stay cloudy and don’t turn Amber on me.
 
Why no Amber I like a little amber for a more body high and relaxing effects. It also depends on strain my indica strains go more Amber than sativa bc they make you couch locked with some Amber trichs
 
Hi, this is my first grow of autopilot xxl.
I thought these autos grow really fast, but it seems like every other normal vegetation mode of photoperiod seeds.

I'm on my 2nd week from seeds germination.
Each plant is about 4-5 cm long and has 2 sets of small leaves.
I'm using a 80*80*1.60 tent with HPS 400W lights.
​​​​The temperat is about 25° daytime and 15° at night, and humidity is about 40%.
I think it's gonna take a long time...
 
They do take off fast after first 3 or 4 weeks, my first autopilotxxl grew really fast after first month (soil grow) and finished awesome after 80 days. This grow(dwc) was a lot better at first but had leaf in root ball that effected final outcome but was still huge and took over 3hrs to harvest and trim.
your temps and humidity are good and I wouldn’t worry over her start, she finishes very well!
 
Patience, my friend, I've had autos finish in less than 60days, and had some that took over 90days to finish.
Had several autos that never flowered, unless I switched to 12-12, they were not even autos.
Your plant looks nice, you might want to open up the middle a little for more breeze, But nice looking plant, that will produce some fine nugs, if left to mature.
Nice job with your plant 187.:laugh:
 
Hi, I need some help.
these autopilot xxl babies are 17 days old from sprout.
they grow up pretty slow, and seems to have some yellowish leaves color.
Both are about 40-45 cm away from an 400w HPS light.
In soil, getting only water. Temperature is good, but humidity is pretty low, about 35%, though I'm using a humidifier plus wet towels.
What should I fix in my setup?

Your pH looks to be outta wack. I would pH water flush then test run off and then feed at right pH. ThstsT what I would do
 
What is soil you are using? Hopefully something Good (hate m-grow) w fox farms you shouldn’t have to add nutrients for first month or so. 400w hps at 45cm seems close, those lights do put off a lot of heat. I would go a little less then double that like 75 maybe. I’ve seen good yields in really hot rooms but to much light can be a disaster to plants, doesn’t hurt to have autos stretch toward the light at first anyway.
I would say to make sure your water is ph’ed and soil has nutes it needs.
 
Thanks for your input.
I do need to work on my PH levels, just fixed that.
I'm using a good soil, but maybe it's not rich enough, so I just started feeding with Biobiz nutrition for vegetation stage.

however, I still did not figure out what is the appropriate distance from the lights. When putting the plans about 60-70 cm away, they seemed to be drooping. At 3rd week from seeds spraut, what is the best for autos?
 
12-14inches, is what Nebula says, autos or photos know differently, same distance is fine. As long as you got good air movement.
