Ok all, this is my Purple Lemonade or Lil Purp. She’s11 wks old. I should be smoking her but am still waiting for her to come along. No tricome production, I believe she’s stopped her stretch but she’s drastically stunted. What’s going on? Anybody have similar stories? How’d it turn out?

Looks good, buds are building but you are likely 2 weeks into flower, so you have 5 weeks or more till harvest. Keep up the good work 
tricomes are just starting about this time.

Same opinion as @Dennis62. Must have been a good veg. I see pre-flower about 7-10 days after the light flip and depending on the strain anywhere from 8-12 weeks to finish

Does not matter, all plants flower the same amount of time, 7 to 10 weeks for indica, 8 to 12 weeks for sativa strains.

With autos and photos they can stay in veg 3 week’s or more before flowering. So the clock on both start with the beginning of flower. Then 7 + weeks minimum, hard to get under 10 weeks on full grow imo. They do have fast flowering strains, I have two strains in my stash that claim 45 days flower that’s still 6 1/2 weeks. Most of my autos go 80 to 95 days start to finish, I like just a little amber. Hope this helps, your girl looks very happy man @Chopps happy growing

You still have a long way to go before she is ready she has had her stretch and she will start building those buds

To many factors , my lemon mimosa took her transplant badly so didn’t go into flower until , but still came out quite well most of my autos go into flower 3- 5 week, the later the better (lemon mimosa on right barely stretched)

Agree with all above. You will be surprised at the fattening that will happen. Happy Growing

Thank you all very much. First time with autos. This is the feeding schedule I’m using, does anyone disagree with this schedule? If so, what do you recommend?
Meh I don’t hold back unless I see nute burn and nitrogen toxicity. I wouldn’t flush ever but once 3/4 of your pistols darken you can cut out adding nutes

Why does this schedule restrict nutes so much? Doesn’t make sense.

Because fast buds are some of the fastest to go into flower ( you rarely get more then 4 once from a fast buds) but because they end up being more on the small- medium size they don’t need as much nutes as a 8-12 ounce photo
