So, newbie here to the site and to Autoflower growing. I grew a couple plants years ago before all this great info was available on this wonderful thing we call the internet. They never flowered and I never knew why. HA! Well as I am known to do, I have studied the process in depth. I would like to say I have the theory down. Now comes putting it into practice.
I was stoned pretty much from age 11 to 30 then oddly just fell out of it. Best way to put it I guess is that I grew out of it? I dunno, I quit smoking cigs and lo the pot went with them.
Fast forward, in my 40's now and am a chronic pain patient. I am so sick and tired of the side effects that the strong narc's give me, I want to try the MJ again and see if it can truly be effective against serious pain. I bought a 1/4 from a local guy and it was OK, much better than the regs even a decade ago. It put me straight to sleep everytime (I did experience some paranoia however ,boo). Anyway for kicks I put about 5 beans in a wet paper towel in a ziplock. Only 1 spouted and I was able to nurse it into a small plant just using miracle grow garden soil. I have read that miracle grow might not be the best thing to use so before you all jump my ass... I am doing this for fun, kind of a dry run. If I ever smoke anything from this plant, OK great. If not, pretty much what I expected. Obviously she is not an auto.
As stated, bagseed in soil, started outside. When it became recognizable I moved it indoors, onto a windowsill that has good sunlight a few hours a day but that is very well hidden from the street and neighbors. So its in the windowsill, the lady of the house keeps the AC cranked, I'd say the house is a steady 70-72 degrees. As you can guess growth slowed to a snails pace after this.
I decided to top it to keep it a shorter plant, and growth seemed to have stopped. Then what I thought (hoped) was pre-flowers became secondary growth. It seems to be a trifoliate plant. Nothing was strange until new leaves started at the nodes of the existing leaves. When I realized it wasn't pre flowering, I looked closely (its obvious now) and I had three leaves coming from each side of existing nodes! So at the branch out to original leaves I have 6 new leaves total. I dunno, is this not that uncommon? I hope to post some pics when I finally stop typing here. Actually I just pasted most of this from my intro on another forum but I wanted to register here because...
