Hi all my first post here. I'd like to show my Critical Bilbo's at 6 weeks old. Growing indoors under lights. They seem to be doing alright, there's a bit of deformation in the main tip of one but otherwise good. Now I'm patiently waiting for flowers.

Welcome to 420Mag, looks like there’s good reviews on that strain.

Best of luck with your grow

Thanks Ladon I bought the seeds after reading good reviews of Bilbo.

Those are some fine plants you grew!

Welcome. I'm new here also. It's nice here. Friendy people with a wealth of knowledge. Good luck with your grow. Your plants look very healthy

Thanks guys for your nice comments. The only thing that concerns me is that it's now six weeks old with no signs of flowering. Is this normal ? It has 370 watts of light and good air circulation. I've been careful with feeding veg nutes, and don't know when to switch to flower nutes. Even tho they're autos I still give them 18/6. Any advice would be very welcome.

It could be the light, but if it’s an auto it should flip when it’s ready.... I’m starting to think maybe it’s not an auto...?

I am looking at your pics and I hate to say it cuz she is beautiful, but have you looked at the underside of your leaves with a magnifying glass? Those little white pin pricks on top of your leaves are a tell tale sign of spider mites
....Hope I'm wrong

Well it's supposed to be an auto Critical Bilbo. At least that's what I bought lol.

Thanks for the heads up Mocha Bud. I've just checked and thankfully no mites present. I was a bit zealous with the last feed and overdid it a bit. I had to flush the pot. I think that might be nute burn. She has shown a bit of leaf clawing , but hopefully I got it in time. My first auto so I'll learn from my mistakes before I plant another one.

Actually it's hard to tell. Those spots do look a bit like mite bites, but I can't physically see any mites. The new growth looks pretty clear.

Well I can't be sure yet but it looks to be flowering I think I hope.

If that’s a tiny white hair poking out then that is telling you it’s a female. Wait till you see a flower to start flower day count

Yes it's just so frustratingly small to see properly so far. I guess I'll see in a few days lol. Even though it's an auto I'm gonna go 12/12 anyway.

Finally after six weeks my auto is finally in preflower. I tucked the shade leaves in to expose all the tips. Now just waiting for dem flowers to grow.
I'm amazed at how well my cheap setup is working for this grow. I spent less than a hundred bucks all up. I used half strength seasol for vegging and will soon switch to Sulphate of Potash for flowering. This is my first auto grow so it's blind sailing really. Fingers crossed always lol.

I can tell by your 'surprised' emoticon that you don't agree with my choice to go 12/12 lol ? Really I don't know what to do, she's in preflower now so I might just continue 18/6 for now. If you have any advice then I'm all ears.
