Looks fine to me buddy, try some lst by tying the plant down to shape it buddy. Check my diary's out for a view of what I'm on about mate. You will end up taking alot more leaf off that girl before you are finished lol enjoy

It's just starting to flower so she will double in size. Only way I would consider it a loss is if she started growing balls. Good luck and happy Growing

What I have been doing for close to thirty years and what works well in my experience/opinion........... Continue with grow nutrients until there are small budlets/tufts of white pistils formed, - cannabis still needs adequate nitrogen in early flower. After this I switch to half grow and half bloom for the following 2-3 weeks (depending on flowering speed) and only then finally change to straight bloom nutrients through until maturity. This seems to produce the biggest blooms on plants that don't exhaust themselves and end up a sickly yellow colour by harvest time. Switching to bloom nutrients as soon as the first pistils appear is a mistake in my opinion. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hey brother. No long answer, sorry. Its absolutely fine been in that height range. Telling by your pics you are coming into the pre flower stage and your plant will probably put on 40cm in those 3 or so weeks. Or it might put on even more, at the least it'll put on 3/4 of the height it vegged out at. Focus on PK boost and lower N but not to much. Extra calmag will always help. Good luck bro

I see in your diary your RH is 33. But in the pic it's 45, if it's cause you just watered it or something but the 45RH will be better for pre flower and lower it to your 33-35 in later stage of flowering. Once you have decent air flow/exchange you'll be fine with a higher RH it'll grow faster in pre flower. You can even have it at 50. Up to you. She looks week overall. Very healthy. Not to green, which many 1st time growers tend to think if you give extra grow it'll grow more, (not the case) i know I did. So for a 1st time you are doing very well. You will learn a lot from this grow and hey, next time give photos a try. You could open her up a little, I know you shouldn't really defol during pre flower but take those big fan leafs that are blocking out your light to lower bud sites. Any larfy sites you get (there'll be many with autos) don't try bring the whole thing to harvest remove them, the lower bits of hairy larf. It's energy wasting. Good luck with the rest of pre flowering and moving into flowering. Bloom nutrients and if you have some silica for pests and it'll help make for a stronger plant But don't worry if you don't have it.

Very impressed with the sample we took very energetic and supper focused psychedelic buzz which is just what I wanted.. can't wait to start again!!!!!!!

Hey there.... just popped in to see your grow and it looks great! I grew an auto Tangerine Dream, too... and that's the reason I wanted to take a look at your diary... mine was so TALL, damn near had to rip the roof off my tent to accomodate - but lots and lots of LST helped keep her in the tent.... GOOD LUCK!

Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1 This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. I really think you would benefit from our tutorial series on youtube, Our channel is linked off our main grow diaries profile. We just put up week 3 of plant life care so you got time to subscribe and catch up before the next episode is out! I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback to better help me shape the tutorials Happy growing friend!
