So I worried it’s gonna out grow the box but if these are indeed buds forming I’ll push the entire grow out to 90 days. I’ve already added to the flowing cycle for a total of 38 days if I need another 7 I will bit anyone’s input would be awesome. It truly is a beast and smells amazing.

@Jeremy_Maestas - Nice looking plant! I have grown a few autos in the Grobo and it can be hit or miss if they grow tall, short, or just the right height. With autos we do not have as much control over the plant’s height as we do with photoperiod strains.
I think you will be okay if you are able to keep the tops away from the light by about 2 inches. One of my auto grows grew very tall and I talk about techniques to address the height in this post:

You can also trim fan leaves, use support racks/ties to bend the branches out of the way of the light. Good luck and keep us posted here on how it is going!

Well quick update this was sent to me from Canuk not sure I trust this company at all. If they could have responded in at least 48 hrs I could have saved the plant. I first emailed on Jan 28 didn’t receive a response till Feb 5th. The plant has out grown the box so bad tried pulling the leaves down they are just too big. Everything is burning though about trimming everything down a foot but I imagine this would put the plant in shock bad. I have to scrap the entire plant and start over. Will never buy an auto seed ever again not worth it especially when apparently reputable breeders can’t even get the right seed out to you or respond in a timely manner. Plant basically sat in veg for an additional 2 weeks before I finally got this email. Waste of time and money but hey live and learn. If there are any suggestions or wild ideas to save the plant let me know otherwise I’m gonna have to trash it so I can start something new.

Sorry about your situation… I’ve fought mold and it’s a bitch.
But I’m sick of dealing with outoflowers too. I got my 1st 25 and I’ve got only 10 left and only 1 survivor and that’s $220 down the drain. I’m going to stick with photo. Regular feminized plants

usually i just drop them in the soil very shallow and add a shot glass worth of water. autos hate being transplanted so just pop them right into whatever pot from which you plan to harvest.
A lot of the time the seedbank you purchased from has something to do with it. Whatever seedbank you used I wouldn’t use again.

The reason I used the seed bank is that I seen some awesome videos that grew seeds from this bank. The buds were like my forearm huge big buds. I know warmth is very important. What should the soil temperature be? Could it be the season? I got a tent that can be between 70deg. And 80 deg. Easy but I’ve had too put heat mats under every one I grow and I’ve got a 10ft I’m going to weave around my pots. So put my seed and put it JUST under the soil and spray water W/ nitrogen and bio root. And place a cup over the seed and watch it so it stays damp? Is this right?

Honestly I’d just spray the water w/o nitrogen. Too much for a seedling especially auto they’re finicky. Make sure you use tons of Mycorrhiza I prefer Dynomyco(granular) or Orca(liquid) I use them too often but they work sooo well
Soil doesn’t need a heat mat but definitely get it up off the ground w/ a stand of sorts. Ground will stunt them if it’s too cold. The cup is good!
What seed bank do you use?ok got Ya. I knew it was the floor

I’ve been trying various seed banks but I’d recommend checking out the smaller breeders on Strainly.io
Also Mephisto for any Autoflowers, those guys do some amazing stuff w their genetics
Which seed bank did you purchase your autos from? I’m running some right now from a guy on Strainly, Demonic Genetics. Very consistent and I’m running 3 different Sativa autos that I LST’d heavily
This pic is post LST and light defoliation.
