First Timer! Critical Purple Auto

[bojack]

Critical Purple Autoflower from GCS

SOIL: fox farm ocean forest
LIGHT: 600W LED & 100W CFL
3 Gal. pot
Nutes: fox Farm trio @ week 4
Running continuous 24 hr light sched.


Hi Folks this is my first grow and just wanted some opinions on how she looks so far! This is the plant at Day 34. I started some LST around week 3, worked the top node out to the edge of the pot by now. Some of the lower bud sites have finally started vertically catching up with the tip top.

Now I did have some ph lockout issues at the beginning which resulted in some ugly but I think I’ve cleared the worst oft that problem out.

looks to me like it’s still Pre-flower mode. Some whiteoistils showing on bigger budsites, some not so much.

whatcha think?? Tips/advice/ criticism is all welcomed! Thanks guys

Welcome to AFN....where autos are very popular.
Your plants appear healthy & typical for their age...especially if they went through issues. OF tends to bit hot for autos but apparently they made it through seedling stage.
I like growing any purples just for the distinctive colors.

thanks for the reply boss! Yeah I have a thing for purple strains too, I got my hands in some Devil Cream auto seeds to start in a few weeks and those should be even more purp than this critical

Thought I'd share my current purple strain a few days before chop. Easy to pick her out of the group.

She’s beautiful! What’s the strain?

Short Stuff auto purple gorilla...at 60 days. Been a joy to grow....very stumpy and thick. GF says it smells fruity/skunk.

Day 39!

She’s starting to get feisty now, all the main bud sites are popping with long pistils. She should start to fill up pretty soon:smoking: still only feeding veg nutes,until she’s better established in flower then she’ll get some bloom action. I think I’m done with LST, she’s already out at the edge of the pot and I like the way the canopy is set up so far. Patiently waiting!

Whatcha think?

Day 39!
I think I’m done with LST.

They really look happy. GOOD JOB!

I think you are about to be amazed at how much more training you are going to be able to do.
They are going to start stretching in a week or so.
It is about to get fun! I LST trained hard till flower and had 20+ main cola sites on my girls. Now that I am well into stretch I could use another 2' of light added to the entire perimeter so that I could spread them out to their potential. As it is they are at the edges of my light footprint. Photos are day 43 from germination. They have almost doubled in height since that photo. I cant believe it but that was like 10 days ago. LOL. I am in a good and bad spot. I could LST them out by 6" all the way around each plant and it still would not be enough. I just dont have the lighting to cover them. Keep them tight or spread them out is my dilemma. Not sure what is the right choice.
