Week 7 gelato autoflower

Hi I have a 7 week old gelato autoflower it's my first grow its in my greenhouse in Northern Ireland weather hasn't been great last few weeks but should I not be getting buds by now it still looks like it's in veg I also topped It 3 weeks ago plant is now 32cm in height

Just quickly looking, shes looks way too overfed.

I dont grow autos. So I cant say

Do you check ph and ec of water, is your water source good?

I'm feeding it some tomato feed and miracle grow should I lay off these mate no I don't check pH it's my first plant just experimenting before I grow more its just normal tap water I gave it do u think it will flower

Its over fed and not getting nearly enough light.

Make sure you hit reply to my last message or I won't see your post, no worries, you're new.

yes ease way back. Weeds (cannabis included) don't need much to thrive. I use miracle gro all the time. All purpose for veg(green yellow container) and blooming (purple container) for flower plus fish emulsion (morblom 0-10-10) once per week (only during flower)...and always a dash of cal mag. A plant that size...give it the min indoor feeding on the side of container...every 2 weeks. Im considering posting a journal of my last grow right away here

It will need 2-3 weeks to eat those nutes. Your plant will tell you when it needs more and will start to fade a bit. Journal every nutrient you feed her and approx how much water. This makes it easier to audit your mistakes later. Hope this helps

He's in a greenhouse, how isn't he getting enough light? Doesn't matter if its cloudy...Ireland is pretty green, lol. Deffinately overfed, yes. It's likely bordering on a nute lockout.

Looks very tall and stretching for light. Does the green house get full sun all day?

I gotcha...thought about it....it could be east or north facing...not enough light. Your absolutely right...needs to be south, west, or SW facing.

It’s only been 7 weeks and you topped it causing stress it might just be behind and growing slowly.

Or there is the fact that not all auto flower seeds produce plants that will auto flower. It’s a common occurrence depending on how much work the breeder actually put into stabilizing the genetics.

I’m 53 days from seed and I don’t have any flowers either. Thought for sure I would see flowers by now. Guess some just flower faster than others.

Thanks for replying mate I will ease of on the nutes and document everything

Not sunny every day but plenty of light mate and the wee greenhouse is South facing

Hopefully it is just a bit behind mate right enough it has gotten much bigger in the last week that was it last week

Autos crave full sun 20+ hours a day....

These were the first autos I ever grew at week 5 from when i put the seed in the dirt.


Autos really love the sun.

Not trying to be rude, but frankly it looks tiny for 7 weeks, and like it probably needed more light.

Maybe that’s my problem, I’m running 18/6. I think I will switch to 20/4 starting tomorrow and see how things turn out. I’m pretty sure the fact that I chopped her head off during my LST has something to do with it too. Oops

Yeah topping causes a stunt. Plant looks good and healthy and full but increasing light wouldnt hurt anything.
