First Auto

[crucialbunny]

So, my first auto plant is nearing its harvest window. Also my first indoor grow. It's been a pretty much trouble-free grow so
far. Great lemony profile and incredibly sticky medium size buds. My only issue is its overall small size. Seeds sprouted right
around Thanksgiving and began flower way sooner than I expected, resulting in its diminutive stature. Being an outdoor
grower who is used to 5-6 foot plants this seems to be a lot of effort for what will ultimately probably be only 1/2 to 3/4 oz of bud.
Great experience for me but I'm not sure if it's my cup of tea. I'll take a little break I think then give it another shot with a
couple more plants this time.

It looks nice 'n frosty. I chopped my little lemon auto top buds first then lowers later.

I generally always take tops first also.

Congratulations a harvest on your first indoor grow is a win itself. It looks nice and dank. Was this the windowsill grow?

Hey, I’m in my first real auto grow too. Just about 4 weeks in. Transplanted a week ago and topped half of them 3 days ago. They are already starting to get pistils and are still quite small. Was told to expect big stretch any day and I’m hopping that happens cuz now all but one are less than 12” tall. Another concern is one of the eight looks pretty strange- more like a ruderalis or small hemp plant, maybe it’s ruderalis genetics are taking over but I wouldn’t expect that from an F4. If it doesn’t start looking more
“normal” I’ll post a few pics and see what you folks think. If it doesn’t get looking better I’ll probably get rid of it and make more room for the others. At least what you got looks nice and frosty and pretty dense too.

It received sun throughout the day thru my guestroom French doors and then using a timer I would give it light from a KingLED KM1000. It was basically on a 19-5 light schedule. I also was using under canopy lighting with a multi-spectrum tube system. I started two plants initially so I could compare one with under canopy and the other without, but my granddaughter who helped me germinate the seeds pulled one so she could see how big the tap root had gotten. I ended up having no comparison. Oh well.

I have to say, I'm amazed at how sticky this Runtz is. Last plant I remember being this sticky was a couple of Wedding Cake clones a few years ago.

Update_Blackberry Kush and ZKittlez auto grow week 4 photos
,
All plants showing or starting to show pistils, some with first budlets starting to form.
Starting gentle LST, will get more aggressive once there's a little more growth.
Blackberry Kush is living up to its heritage, kush genetics coming through, shorter and bushier than the Zkittlez.
Will start flowering nutrients in 3 days

One of the Zkittlez that was topped looks like I FIMed it instead_ not the intention. New growth at junction is recovering slowly, no photo_where'd it go?
Darn, lost the photo of the Zkittlez that is tall and thin with no branches too. I need tp most this photo so I'll take another and post soon.
Its a strange one_its starting to get budlets but at the junction of the fan leaf and stalk, but there are no real branches.
Looks like she's gonna be a tall, thin one.seems like its hemp/rruderalis genetics may be breaking through.
Anyone heard of this trait before in autos?

The tallest Zkittlez has already developed alternate branch\ing, is this common for autos? Most of the time my photo periods haven't done this until just before the initial signs of flowering, but I suppose this auto is already there, so probably no so different?

Most of my autos have been

Number 1_ all the girls
Number 2_Tallest Zkittlez. beginning LST.
Number 3_alternate branching on [NODE="2"]Forum[/NODE] Zkittlez
Number 4_opposite branching on [NODE="2"]Forum[/NODE] Zkittlez
Number 5_Zkittlez
Number 6_Blackberry Kush_ tiny budget getting started
Number 7_Blackberry Kush_ topped, forming budlets
Number 8_ 2nd Blackberry Kush_topped

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks!
