This is my first time growing. Not sure if I’m on the right track. These plants are around 12 weeks old.
There are hybrid plants. Strain: Bubba kush, apple fritter, permanent marker. Auto flowering.
Until now I was growing them on a balcony in Berlin weather. But now I don’t have direct sunlight. I’m thinking to bring them in and provide artificial light.
Queries:
- Is it even possible to do now? As they were growing out till now.
- Does the main stem look thick enough to hold flower weight?
- What kind of light should I buy?
- For ventilation is it enough that I leave my balcony door open or need something for ventilation too?
- i have been providing them nutrients for the growth phase till now. Just started the blooming phase nutrients too.
trying to setup with minimal cost. any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks bro!
Do you suggest to use a tent in room or just setting up a light is ok?
Any brand of lights that you suggest?

Are you sure those are autos?

A small space that you can control light and dark for 12 hours at a time is what you need. The 12 hours of darkness is the most important part of flowering photoperiod plants. A closet, a tent, a spare room will do.
Search out some lights you can afford and post them up here. I am sure that there will be some suggestions.
They said that these are auto when I bought it from the MJ festival in Berlin. Do they look different?
On Reddit some people mentioned that for auto it’s better to do 16hr light 8hr darkness. Does it make sense?
What about this lights? They have 1000, 2000 and 4000 variant.

If just expect them to be flowering or be nuchbfurther along flowering at 12 weeks old.
Sorry I calculated wrong these are around 8 week old. My bad!
A lot of people say things on Reddit… most are not really worth listening to IMO.
One thing to not @FlyingYogi is that if you have any pathogens present shit can go bad really fast when moving indoors. For example I brought in a plant to test out a new tent and I got PM in there because i neglected to treat the plant before moving it back inside

No worries, I’d still expect them to be flowering by now.

May be not enough sunlight or I did something wrong? What do you suggest?
12hr light and 12 hr darkness confirmed from the nutrient company
My home is super clean but yeah pathogens can’t be seen. So what do you advise on how to be careful?
I setup a tent? And may be sanitize the tent before moving the plants in the tent?
The 1000 covers a 2x3 ft area. That should be enough for those plants.
Autoflowering plants need 18-24 hours of light. Are all three Cannabis plants autoflowering? If so then you don’t need to bother with 12 hours of dark hours.

No you didn’t do anything wrong they just are probably photoperiod plants that will need ~12 hours of darkness to flower. 12/12 is for photo period plants. 18/6 for autos. The auto means it doesn’t need more hours of darkness for the flowering hormone to build up and trigger flower.

If your leaves are showing signs of ‘white specks’
‘white patches’
Look carefully at the underside of leaves too.

Well the natural light in Berlin is 18-6 so may be they didn’t find enough darkness yet
Thanks! I’ll buy 1000w option then
I’m away but I hope no pathogens.
