Do you know why my one plant looks like it's days behind the other, they sprouted at the same time?
New grower, I need advice

Sorry I don't know why... I did 3 my first time around, they were photo plants but all 3 grew at very different rates until they really got into full flower then they all filled out and did their thing. My first autos are about the same spot yours are but outside. I've got one lagging a bit on those too.

Nice any pics of the NL. I just ordered a assorted pack of Buddha seeds from herbie

Yeah it's the auto pack, and I was on the reg herbie site, didn't know about the auto site till after I ordered. But I got a free female Delahaze and two free afghan rider regs. I'm happy. The Buddha pack was number 2 on there top best

Nice! Where you at if you don't mind? Ballot for medical or recreational? Even though we got recreational legal here in Oregon I'll be keeping my medical card cause the bud is better, cheaper and I can grow more of my own plants.

I'm in Ohio, I think it's just going to be medical at first, I'm trying to get good enough to open a shop up as soon as it hits, I'm in a small town so it should work out well. Retire and smoke the best is the dream

I'm in week 3 now but it's says on the auto that I'm growing that it will be ready in 7 weeks, should I change anything that you mentioned above

No , but take the 7 week mark ONLY as a guide. You will more than likely push past that.
I had 7 - 8 week strains go til week 9-10. If you let the buds mature on their OWN time frame not what the breeder says you will have better yield and end product. With autos either the leaves will turn yellow near the end or the Triches will tell you when you are close. Some autos will also show different pheno characteristics - ( Traits ) different from same seeds :
Example : I grew 2 blue Mammoths side by side , one was squatty/bushy - tight nodes
Other was lanky and spread out . If week 7 seems not ripe enough - feed one more week then flush for week 9/10. Best to judge triches to determine when to harvest.
Good luck

Thanks man, I got the same thing going on, two growing side by side, one looks like it will be short and bushy, the other one is tall and bushy, will have pics up later.

Just to restate what Budzbudda said and add to it there is quite often a large variation in what traits in a certain strain become dominant. Since there are usually several different types of genetics mixed up in an auto sometimes there can be wide variations in what the offspring will look like because of which genes become dominant. That's why they can look so different.No , but take the 7 week mark ONLY as a guide. You will more than likely push past that.

As far as finish time he pretty well laid it out. You need to watch your trichs. I use a magnifier that is 2 lenses in one case that gives about 20X magnification to look at my trichs. I chop when a few trichs have turned amber on my Indica dominant strains. That seems to give the best results in the Indica dominants when I use it for my arthritis. For just plain getting high I like a Sativa with trichs just cloudy, that gives a nice up high.
On my last grow I had a smallish Auto Ultimate that had some amber trichs at about day 65, however I only chopped to the bottom set of branches since those trichs were still clear. I am still letting those finish. They are on day 72 now. The rest of my grow. some auto lemons an auto haze and a couple of Fantasmo expresses I chopped then completely down when they showed amber trichs except for the Haze, I took her a few days earlier before the trichs turned.. They were pretty uniformly done.
