New Grower First grow, what to expect?

[sammykins]

So I have an OG Kush auto that is now 51 days since germ, the whole time it's been very stunted but yesterday I observed the first signs of it's sex, so I'm assuming it will go into flower soon. Should I expect it to grow much in this time or just flower as 4 or 5 node plant that it is now? Thanks in advance everyone!
Anyone even seen one this small go into flower? Lol

What breeder are the seeds from? If it's an auto it will flower despite the size . ....... What's the lighting like ? Other autos doing well ?

It was from seedsupreme.com I actually heard of them from high times magazine so I thought they were reliable.
I have one MH 600w that is about a foot above the plants. This is a basement grow so it's close enough to not burn anything but helps raise the temp to about 75.
The other auto's are all stunted to certain degrees which I am assuming is because in the beginning I wasn't able to keep the room warm enough, at least I hope that's the reason.

I'm pretty sure you have a photo plant, which is great because you have time to get it back on track before it blooms! [emoji106] [emoji6]

If the bucket is directly on the basement floor the soil and roots are too cold. You should use insulation of some kind. I use rigid insulation cut in squares. Does tge floor feel cold when you touch it?

Hello Friend, the site you referenced is a seed bank that carries roughly 5-6 Auto OG Kush strains. I'm guessing you went with "Kera Seeds" as they had one of the cheapest and highest rated OGK strains. Regardless buddy, it (OGK)is listed as a 70 - 80 day Auto (so give it 90 days)- and they are listed to grow to 90 - 120cm (35 - 47inches).
Looking at your plant, if you switch up a few variables I think you can fully expect it to get a nice early to mid-flower stretch and pound on some bud. There is concern though, to me the color of your plants leaves indicate a Nitrogen deficiency. Might as well hook it up with some P and K while your at it - and is there any way possible you can switch your light because MH is fantastic for Veg but it's a less than ideal spectrum for Flower, and the Spectrum you provide directly impacts your plants ability to grow and uptake nutrients. Can you get yourself an HPS bulb and some Nutes ? What kinda nutes are you using if any ? I see you have some Perlite mixed in, anything else in the mix ?

I second the above statements, the temps also effect the pH of the medium and can cause pH lock out of nutes....

I grew some Nirvanas OG Kush at 55f -65f but elevated the container to get the roots warmer. They were short and stalky , had a stem bout inch and a half thick. They still turned out w dense frosty bud over a zip and a half each[emoji16]

I do have to say, though. I've never heard of an auto that doesn't bloom within 45 days...

I's not too cold to the touch but that is def one thing I have been doing wrong I'm actually about to vamp up the room this weekend and one of the things I will add is insulation. I had no idea was I was going to use to do so though so thanks for the idea!
