Indoor New here... need help (Auto Blue Diesel advanced seeds)

[wu wei]

Hey everyone, I am new here and need some advice with my blue diesel auto, she is 40 days old from seed, grown in soil and in a 6 gallon pot. Light schedule 18/6

I am very confused and amazed by this autoflower she is way bigger than I ever expected (52cm) from soil and very branchy. I need advice and help because she is not flowering, she showed her first pre flowers at day 25 and has been pre flowering for 15 days. I actually thought she was flowering a few days ago but its just a very heavy pre flower. There is continuous new node growth at the top so she is not flowering? Can anyone of you autoflower experts please help me?

Here are some pictures of her.

Thanks everyone, peace

Hey bud im also growing that strain im on day 39 my girl is 21inches tall and flowering like crazy. Ur girl is alot branchier than mine. Did u feed her alot of superthrive or a B-1 supplement

Every week rotate a plant into the middle. The small ones need more light.
I'd stop with the N for a while and start with flower nutes.

How far is it from the light? Looks like a lot of plants for that situation.

Autos in a 6 gallon are going to get pretty massive.
What type of soil are you in? Have you switched to flowering nutes?
I agree with late in that you should stop feeding with an N dominant fertilizer. N should never go away. Just doesnt get top billing in flower like P and K do. So DONT cut N out, but DO up your flower power- P and K, and also cal-mag is important for flower.
First pre-flowers at day 25...I don't know much about the strain you're growing, but in my experience, autoflowers usually show their sex between 14-18 days...did you do anything that may have stunted her/set her back a little?

It's been my experience that pre flowering starts at about week 4 or the Fourth nodes so your about on time there .Has vertical growth slowed down to a crawl? if so then switch to your flowering nutrients....Just because there throwin pistals like crazy dose not mean there in full flower....it's not till vertical growth slows that flower starts......If it has stopped you might try giving her 12 hours of dark a few night see if it turns her.

Hey Hiking, that is cool to hear you are growing the same strain! Sounds nice you got any pics? No I did not feed her anything at all like that, I only have bio bizz (grow, bloom, top max) she could have had the extra branching from the 6 gallon? How big is your pot?

Peace brother

Hey late, lighting is no problem now bud as my 600w hps was delivered yesterday I do need to stop with the N I gave her a feed of N and P when I first seen the pre flowers but she did not take to well to the N... She got claw leaf.

What do you mean a lot of plants for that situation bud? My tent is 4x4 1.2m squared... I have seen people grow 9 in this space.

When she was under the 300w cfl it was only a few inches above her.

Peace brother

Hey where, yeas I have heared she should get big in this 6 gallon. Its just cheap soil nothing special. She has only had one feed of grow, bloom and top max. Next water I will feed her bloom and top max and no grow because she needs a N flush after the claw leaf. Yeas first pre flowers at day 25 I think it could be because of the 6 gallon? She had aa bit of a slow growth as a seedling but that's about it.

Peace breother

Hey Go, yeas I have heared of others too now that auto's pre flower around the twenty days when in large pots. The vertical growth is just starting to slow down now I think, I will give her more bloom and top max on the next water. I actually think she has started to flower now, I received my 600w hps yesterday and the little ball that was on the top of the plant has grown and there are no more leaves comming out of it. But there are no pistols coming out of the little bud. I have seen a huge difference in one day of 600w hps
