New Grower First grow, what to expect?

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]

I don't know I'm looking at it today and looks like a bud starting to form at the top

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 ?

Honestly I am not completely sure this strain was actually a free b and was just labeled og kush auto fem lol. I will def add more nutes I was wondering why the bottom leaves were starting to come in a little lighter I just didn't really think it was a bad thing because it seems to be flourishing otherwise. I do have an HPS bulb I am going to put in once all the plants go into flower.

I am using a coco perlite mix 70/30 and I am using grow better nutrients A and B for veg stage, although I am worried about adding more P and K because I am going by the recommended schedule and my ppms are on point. Once full flowering has begun I will be switching the nutrients along with the new bulb.

A typical concrete floor in a basement is about 60 degrees and will leech any heat out of the soil. Especially when the outside temp is cooler. If it is even slightly cool to the touch its too cold for a plants roots. It will stunt them and slow them down.
Even a layer of cardboard will help. You will notice a difference in 24 hours

I appreciate all the advice everyone!

I did have one part of the post I don't think was answered though. Now that preflowering has started can I expect it to increase in size much, or just flower at the size it is now an in turn produce a very low yield?

Yoy got pics? With Preflower comes stretch, then build buds. Make sure your water is room temperature and not on the concrete

Here is a picture of my whole set up, the big one in the back is a bag seed, no idea what it is.

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

Oh @witchyhour the woes many of us had back in the day, well not me cause i stayed away from the hype, but there were several strains out there that were Simi-auto and straight out non auto at all. There was a big problem when the market started shifting into the Auto world. So many breeders wanted in to the new idea but they were producing less than ideal strains. There were all kinds of issues with the seeds autoing and going into flower. Lots of guys i can remeber had to 12/12 their so called autos.

Your plant is looking good, for just starting this it can be a trick to get the hang of it. Autos are the type of plant that you have to actually grow each time as a majority to this day are still less than homogeneous and you can see several pheno expressions in the same seed pack.

The rule that i use is that typically cannabis can stretch up to 3x its size once it starts to hit flower. The stretch will stop once bud set begins. You will see this in a few ways. One the vertical growth with stop and the crown will form, and two you will see clustering of the caylex's this will indicate flower.

About a week and don't be silly it's not harsh. What do you see?
