Week Five Completed

She's 22 inches tall now and growing a bit faster with the recent sunnier skies and warmer temperatures. I still don't see any clusters of white hairy pistils. Hopefully there's alot more growth to come.
Today I scattered some fresh lawn clippings around her which should be quickly consumed by the soil life. Mostly fungus I'm guessing.
Will she get to the 41 inch average height (35 to 47) as stated on the FastBuds website? Maybe. That would be the tallest auto I've ever grown.
It also says there that the "Flowering Time" is 9 weeks. Does that mean flowering begins 9 weeks after germination?
I've been reading that flowering *may* begin later in larger pots. This in-ground grow is 5'x5' and 2' deep, prepared, fertilized and composted. I'm curious to see when she flowers and how large she gets.

The side branches have grown quite long and appear a bit leggy. I'm guessing so that they can reach out and gather some direct sunshine. They look like they would droop or fall if they grow a solid bud load. That spare tomato cage in the back of the picture will come in handy to support and maybe spread and guide the side branches.

Flowering time being 9wks means she will flower for 9 weeks after the veg stage, so from when she begins flowering until she's ready to harvest. The tallest auto I've grown was 110cm, about 41" (green crack auto) and I absolutely had to give her support with bamboo canes etc so your beautiful girl may need some too. She looks real happy, onwards and upwards mate, looking good :bighug:
 
Interesting... Fastbuds says flowering begins in 3-4 weeks. Adding 9 weeks of flowering adds up to about 12 weeks from seed to harvest. I guess that seems about right. Thanks.
