Would you consider this flowering or preflower??? Im trying to decided whether or not to switch to flowering nutes......or stay with veg for a while longer...

Don't feed flower nutes until after the stretch unless you are happy with their size and height right now, once it starts flowering, it will get taller for a couple more weeks, I made the mistake of feeding bloom at first sign of flower and ended up with a 14" tall AKR still gave me 100 grams wet 31 dry, but if you let them stretch you'll get bigger yields

@Gatorbackbob im not used to autos so let me ask u this, is it really that big of an impact to just switch nutrients? Cant picture this- thought they be for the auto effekt sort of unsensitive so such things since they just flower anyway

Thanks..... I will stay with veg until the stretch slows up.....

From what information I have gathered through afn, as soon as an auto is turned onto bloom nutes, it focuses all energy on buds and freezes vertical growth for the most part

That would be a hard thing because if u got soil already containing a certain amount of phosphorus it could really stop the plant from getting taller without knowing it- i used to prep the soil with guano so this wouldnt be benficial if this statement was right

 

[Gatorbackbob]

But what would be pretty neat is maybe experiment on one of the three and start introducing flower nutes early, to see how much of a difference it will make, depends on your situation, man. If you don't mind one of them possibly ending up with a lower yield it will help you decide on future grows

Maybe it's one of those Ford vs Chevy type debates, or like some believe that keeping a plant 2-3 days in the dark before harvest multiplies trichomes, where others believe it doesn't make a difference.

May i keep this in mind and test it, popped 3 autocbdhaze up my first autos at all and may do a little review how they do, could feed one with guano tea before i see flowers or when they just emerge, gonna think about that...
