Update

Moved on to week 4 of the feed schedule and girls are looking great. Starting to get a smell to them too which makes me think I may start seeing flowers soon!

Check out the crazy amount of stretch that is happening right now. There is so much growth happening I can hardly look away! Each afternoon is great to come home and open the cabinet to find three girls I can't even recognise from the day before.
LOVING IT!! lol

Have bent the main stem slightly on both the Super Skunk and AK49 #2 but have left the AK49 #1 alone to do its thing. I have however tucked away the insanely massive leaves that were blocking 90% of the light from the plant. You can see a lot of the new growth coming up now.

Have a look and let me know what you think. Node spacing has stretched out quite a bit and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not but would love to hear your opinions

That's great to hear, thanks dude!

I just can't get over how quick everything is happening. Can't wait to see what happens when buds start appearing

 

[FiveToMidnight]

I'm currently feeding every two days and every feed has been with nutes.
I'm thinking I should step it up to daily to try and keep ppm and pH levels where they should be.

Thoughts?

Every 2 days is fine u can do it everyday upto .i dont feed like that.less is best in my opinion and autos do everthing quicker than a regular fem bean.when flower comes ul see what i mean

I already see what you mean by quicker than feminised seeds.
I'll keep it to every two days for now if you don't think it needs to go daily.
I just feel I'm missing something here as I see a lot of people feeding daily and not talk of waste.
I guess while its working for me I should just continue as I am right?

I only start to feed my autos at week 3 to 4 of life .and only feed once a week in veg.and i feed 2 times a week in flower.my 2 autos are 5 and half week old today.on my 700wled topping grow.just updated with pics so ur defo giving enough food id say lol but see what u mean loads of people on here feeding with grow micro bloom and heavy feeding everyday.i just dont see that as natural or that beneficial to a plant.but they get great results.i get great growth with far less feed.and a more natural growing plant.im very organic try to be .for the real natural taste and smell of the buds works for me

Just had a look at your journal and noticed you're using soil, whereas I'm using coco+perlite. I notice people using soil feed about the same frequency as you mentioned however its only the coco growers I find feed daily or sometimes more frequent.

I see what you mean by great results though, loving what you manage to produce. Some awesome skills there! Very interesting to see more people topping autos. I initially read this was not advised but since starting this grow have found more and more growers trying it and getting positive outcomes

Getting some good growth there Five. Must be a good feeling.
