Indoor Auto AK - 50w LED

[Megatron]

It's not a G13 plant but bred by a local breeder, Im told it's a cross between the Lowryder #2 and Serious seeds AK47.

Looking back, I should've used a smaller pot. She is exploding in that small tent with a 5L pot

I would throw in a couple of 26 watt CFL's 6000k-6500k in there.. 6500k just because you have enough red light with the LED.. Im a big fan of LED's lower powered like yours for supplemental lighting. If she is stretching like you say, she needs light.

I have a nursing chamber with exactly that where I usually let them grow til they show sex, didn't do that with this one because the pot didn't fit in there. Will have to keep tying her down until she stops vertical growth, week 6 I hope.

Time for another quick update at day 39.

The tent is totally cramped now and I'm hoping that she stops growing soon.
I'm very pleased about the amount of budsights though. I have increased the amount of nutrients and hoping that the deficiencies will be fixed.

It's Friday, which means week 6, day 42.

Hopefully I've tied her down for the last time (hence the bright middle). Also hoping to see some trichomes this coming week and I probably have to increase the nutrients even further...

What are your opinions on pruning leaves? I think it's a bit too cramped in there, would like to free some space but I'm under the impression you shouldn't do that with autos?

Nice grow Megatron your better off just tucking your leaves, removing the will decrease your yields. Good look with the grow man

All hail megatron!!!

Will do that then GROWNBITCHZ, but I'm worried the airflow isn't going through the tight canopy. Perhaps it will open up a bit with the tucking.

Quick update at day 45, vertical growth has virtually stopped and she is beginning to produce trichomes.

I'd like the lamp a bit further from the tops but it's not much I can do about it I'm afraid.
