What's up with this Seedsman NL Auto ?

[jaywillin]

What's up y'all ? Got my 4th grow growing, and after some stumbling out of the gate, this one is going much better, I seem to have a better grasp
of the ph and calmag situation, and NO overfeeding !
I'd ordered seeds from Seedsman, and they threw in some of their NL auto seeds. This is the 2nd of the plants bud like this ? plant looks great , but the
buds ??? It (and and the Pakistan Ryder) are 10 days ahead of the Strawberry Cheesecake and the Amnesia Haze all getting frosty, what gives ?
Also , stems are softer, the same was true for the first plant. Some mutation ? the first plant never did anything, I'm ready to move this one out
unless somebody has an answer ??
Also, my smaller tent, a 36"x20"x63" I'd like to upgrade from my Mars Eco120, I have 3 Autocobs in my 2x4, and love them, and while I'd like to put
two in there, gotta go cheaper. UNDER $200, preferably $150, any recommendations ? I'm doing some research , got a few ideas, just stuck.

other info, soil top half of the pots, HF, bottom half h/h- HF/OF, 7-8 weeks old ? (didn't write it done, I GOTTA start keeping records)
I didn't give any nutes until last week, I'm using MegaCrop 4g per 5gal, and Bud Explosion 5 grams for 5 gals ( maybe go up ?)
anyway, kinda long winded, haven't posted in a while, think I'll go get medicated ! :smoking:
thanks guys !

Hey man! I like your dancing bear profile thing whatever it’s called lol
Your plants look nice! I’ve had plants with super weird weak stems compared to others and it’s kinda worrisome but I just left them alone and ended up harvesting great plants. You could try putting more wind/airflow blowing on them to help strengthen them.Personally I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
I did a bunch of research as I wanted the best light I could get for around the 200$ mark and ended up getting a Phlizon Cree Cob series 1000watt. I’m very happy with it so far but I’ve only been using it about three weeks so time will tell. Peace

fans I got, other plants stems are fine, and I'm more puzzled about the buds , or lack thereof,
as for the lights, all the choices or "easy" budget choices, Spider, Mars, Phlizon, Maxisun "1000"s are great for 24" footprint
I'm trying to stretch it out to 36", getting that extra foot , I know getting one of these will still be an upgrade to the Eco120

get one with a cob light for the extra 36''

Must be a certain phenotype, my seedsman nl auto was short (topped as per autobeast) but just harvested last friday. Figuring about 1/2 oz. prob lost a little weight due to my led having two cob units fail. Other than that it finished (to my liking) just under breeders date.

done in a 2 gal pot with soil, megacrop... bud explosion and molasses during flower... hope yours turns the corner and you get mega harvest!

Also my stems were super stiff, would barely move in the fan driven air!

Just reread your post 4g mc per 5 gal? I was at 4 g per gal! BE had at 1/2 tsp per gal...

Also had 2 strawberry cheesecake autos that i harvested on sunday, in the drying cab rt now. They grew taller by far than the nl auto

yeah, I thought with autos, nutes needed to be used 1/4 strength or so ? and your plants look great so apparently
I misunderstood
earlier today I was tempted to pull the NL out of the tent and just see what it would do outside, and let the other
plants spread out more, maybe I'll just hold tight, and bump up the nutes

Do you have/use ppm meter? 4 grams per 5 gallon is very weak, to me, that's not enough food for your plants. I'm up to 1/2 tsp per gallon and 1/8 tsp BE per gallon. Which is about 524 ppm's or so with both.
