Isn't that a little small at day 29? I mean I'm a newb.. By I've seen plenty of auto flowers flowering at day 25.. So why are you just now using veg nutes? Shouldn't you be getting ready for flower nutes? I mean unless autopounder just takes that much longer to develop since it produces a lot for a auto.. Or your just trying to get the most out of your yield?

There was a lot of nutes already in the soil plus I had also mixed an organic fertilizer with it. So it had plenty. I was also concerned about the size my last run they were much bigger by day 29. I can only assume it was just that seed because the first plant was bigger then the 2nd by day 29. This is also my first time growing Auto Pounder so don't know what to expect. I'll put up some new pics in a day or so the 2nd plant seemed to have woken up and started growing.

Don't want to give flower nutes until vertical growth has slowed or stopped. Otherwise you could short your yield.

Update on the girls. Plant one is on day 47 (from seed) and has been flowering sooner than I expected. Also has a little frost going on. It also seemed to slow down in growth. The second plant planted 9 days later has already grown past the first. Maybe there was something not quite right with the first. I didn't expect this I think the second plant is more on tract than the first plant. Has anyone ever experience this? Here are the pics.

I'll ask again. Has anyone ever had a seed that stopped vertical growth went into flower much soon than expected? Is this common with autos since their timeline has been fucked with? Just wondering this strain was suppose to be larger and have a longer growth cycle.

pot size, light, water, everything can effect it. Autos always show pre-flowers early then shortly after move into flower. Keep in mind that every plant will be a little different. I had 2 road runners that looked a lot a like but had slightly different growth.

Update on my 2 girls the first one is on Day 56 (from seed) and the 2nd taller plant on day 48 (from seed) you'll see from the pictures the second plant bigger than the first but is still small. Overall I've been disappointed with the grow of this Auto Pounder which should be renamed Auto Ouncer. But I may be unfair since I am not using HPS lamps. Because of this I've already germinated two more seeds. One is Auto Diesel and the other is Sweet Tooth again. (no photos of those yet) Both planted on May 14th and popped on May 18th.




@Hank - thanks for the info I thought it might be something like that. As you can see the first plant didn't even make it through the scrog.

Pot size will have massive effects on what you pull. My road runners I got around an ounce and half off of each plant grown in 3 gal containers. My berry ryder was grown the same way however she gave me about 3 ounces. They where all ran under, T5's, 400W MH 400W HPS and 1000W HPS.

@ Hank - These pots I have are about 3 gal each I'm sure better lighting would make a difference. You are using a 400W and 1000W HPS? At the same time or different times?

yes now I am. I started with t5's then got a 400W MH/HPS running the T5's at the same time, then got the 1000w HPS and been using the t5's for other things. Just added the 400w HPS back in a few days ago with the 1000w
