So far so good, the cookies gelato automatic seems to have some issues. Maybe because of the temperature before repotting which was almost 37 Degrees outside. Gave it some Alg A Mic and hoping it will recover.

Had some overwatering problems, temperatures were still 30C+ outside making it difficult to cool. Luckily they dropped today and continue to do so next week. Top left is Cookies Gelato, had some issues but is starting to recover. Has some preflower already, hoping it will continue to grow. Currently 16 cm tall Middle one is Auto Banana Blaze. The leaves started turning yellow on the bottom. Not quite sure what happened but may be due to overwatering. Also has some preflower. Currently 23cm tall Right one is Strawberry Pie Auto. No issues yet and growing steadily. 15cm tall but very bushy. Planning to do some LST next week, not sure if topping is a good idea considering the stress the plants went through already. Any advice on how to improve would be appreciated. I'm still experimenting and trying to figure everything out.

Some of the newer leaves at the top are pretty curled up, did I overfeed it? My other 2 plants are fine.

Going to disagree with my growmie here... I don't see ANY sign of a nitrogen deficiency and if I did, I certainly wouldn't recommend cutting the feed in half... I think what he meant to say was a nitrogen TOXICITY - but I don't see that either... but it well indeed might be starting. Autoflowers, generally, do not need nutes for the first couple of weeks of life however they are now at the point where you don't want to deprive them of food. There are two things I see that worry me a bit ... for one, I think you're overwatering just a bit here. You need to let the medium dry out completely before you give them anything else... pick up the pot when you think they need something and see how lightweight it is... if it's super light, go ahead... if not, wait. I think this is what is happening to your leaves... just getting too much water/nutes and it may be affecting their roots (which would affect the leaves). Secondly (and not related at all), you've got them in awfully small pots so at some point you're going to have to transplant them - and autoflowers really don't LIKE to have their roots messed about with as they can be when transplanting... so my advice to you on THIS point is to do it as early as you can and as gently as you can... next time, germinate them in the size pot they're going to spend their entire lives in! Good luck and enjoy the journey!

I plan to do some LST and wanted to do it simple like in the picture. But one of my plants is growing very bushy and dense and I'm concerned that I can't tie down the main stem. Is there any other easy way or should I not do LST at all?

I have done this style of LST before it works out ok. as the plant grows I keep pinning more and more of the new growth down. In the end it looked like a sprial similar to that of a cinnamon bun. or this emoji if the plant is the pink part.🍥 its the fish cake emoji. This is a quick read and will give you a bit of pointed on LST as well. growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants Good Luck! ***disclaimer, multiple people are answering all questions as there is a contest called GOTM, when a user is selected as the answer they get a point.

All plants continued to grow pretty fast, especially the Auto Banana Blaze from Dutch Passion and the Strawberry Pie Auto from Fast Buds, growing many new side branches. All of them are beginning to flower. Decided to try out some LST with LST clips to hopefully get bigger side branches. Also sprayed some Alg A Mic on since I heard it works great against light stress (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll also add some BB top max according to the feed schedule from BB from now on. Cookies Gelato is 10 cm tall (with LST). Auto Banana Blaze is 23 cm tall. Strawberry Pie Auto is 12cm tall. I decided against transplanting into a bigger pot due to already transplanting once. I invested in some bigger 8L fabric pots for my next grow though!

I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

The LST clips are looking proper. I think you have done a good job applying them. As for defoliating the plants they are not ready for that kinda of treatment, Not only are they to small they are just not that bushy yet to do this to them. It can also be a bit stress full if to many leaves a removed. I would not think about that step untill you are in week 5 or 7. Then you can comeback to the idea when they are grown up a bit more. Ps, if you run out of clips you can use little bits of string tied aorund the plants stalks and then attached to the side of the pot via clips or holes made in the plastic. Everything is lookging great so far keep up the good work :D Happy Growing! ***disclaimer, multiple people are answering all questions as there is a contest called GOTM, when a user is selected as the answer they get a point.

It sure looks like it... the Top Max is probably the culprit here as it has a lot of nitrogen in it. Since they're in flower, you need to be giving them some bloom nutes as well! Cut back on the Top Max before you get a calcium deficiency, add some calmag just in case and start your bloom nutes! Good luck!

So far so good. I'm a little concerned about the Strawberry Pie Auto due to a very light tip burn. I cut down on the top max and will watch it closely. Hopefully, the Monster Bud Mix isn't the reason since I can't do anything about it. Cookies Gelato is 22cm tall. Hopefully it develops more side branches as time goes on. Compared to the other 2 strains it's not doing as well. Auto Banana Blaze is 36cm tall. Developing the best currently. The small newer leaves are slightly twirling but after a while, they straighten out. I'm not sure why it does that. Strawberry Pie Auto is 23cm tall. Growing well too with many branches developing, great for LST. I also gave all of them some Microbes and Bio Heaven to help them grow. If they look good next week I might cut off the lower leaves and branches to get fewer popcorn buds. Any advice would be appreciated. Update End of the week: Started giving all of them flowering nutrients with the RQS Bloom Booster tabs. Dissolved 2 of them in 10l water and can use it for 10 days. Seems to automatically adjust the water ph to 6.25 too. Cookies Gelato is 25cm tall. No issues yet just slow growth. Strawberry Pie Auto is 23cm tall. The burning on the tips did not get any worse, no further growth though. Auto Banana Blaze is 50cm tall. Basically exploded in the past few days but also gave me the most trouble.

Sembra una leggera ustione da luce...forse hai le lampade un po' troppo vicino prova a alzarle di poco....vedo anche che usi pochi fertilizzanti quindi non può essere neanche una cosa legata ai nutrimenti...prova ad alzare le lampade vedo le punte delle foglie superiori bianche e sembra proprio quello!

The leaves turned droopy when I visited the tent today. Could it be underwatering? Currently, I am watering every 48 hours 1L water until I get a slight runoff. After 2 days the soil is pretty much dried out as I got told that should be done with BioBizz nutrients.

Going into week 6 no problems so far. Banana Blaze Auto is 60cm tall. Growing quite quickly recently. Decided to cut the small side branches at the bottom which get no light. Hopefully it won't grow further as I'm quite happy with the height. Cookies Gelato is 27cm tall. No further growth, looks like it'll stay at that height. Strawberry Pie is 23cm tall. Will most likely stay at that height too. At least it has a ton of side branches though. Cookies Gelato and Strawberry Pie are getting half the amount of nutrients due to their size.

One of my plants is having droopy leaves at the top pretty much 24/7 lately. I thought it was overwatering but it didn't seem to be the case. Buds still continue to develop and otherwise, the plant looks healthy. Would transplanting still be an option at this stage?

First and foremost... you do not want to EVER transplant an auto... that's the reason you want to germinate them in the pot they're going to finish in... so that's a big NO from me! Quite honestly, I think you're UNDERwatering here... droopy leaves are caused by either overwatering (the state of being constantly wet), underwatering or nitrogen toxicity... you're not giving them too much nitrogen and they certainly don't look like their growing in a swamp - so I'm fairly certain you're not giving them enough water... plants in flower will start drinking a lot and, if I'm not mistaken, you've got them in clay pots which will dry up the soil very quickly as well. Do not go by a set "every X number of days" when you water - you've got to go by what your plant tells you. Best way to do that is to lift the pot up to see how lightweight it is.... if it's light, give the plant a drink or a feed, whatever is next on their agenda... And don't be measely with the water.. get at least 10-20% runoff - really soak it, especially if they're growing in clay pots. Good luck!

Going into week 7 everything looks fine so far, more or less. Both Strawberry Pie and Cookies Gelato are having mild signs of N toxicity. Since I only add low NPK stimulants and low N Bloom nutes it's most likely the Monster Bud Mix which I sadly can't do much about. I'll for now only add nutrients once a week until the signs get better. Both of them still develop quite nicely and the Buds feel very dense. Banana Blaze auto still growing even though I defoliated the bottom. She is 69cm now. Had no choice but to put the lamp high which also forced me to put something under my other 2 plants so they will still get enough light. Very excited for the next few weeks, even though Strawberry Pie and Cookies Gelato are small they smell lovely. Might still get some good harvest out of them despite their size. Can't wait to watch Banana Blaze's buds develop. I could get quite a good harvest out of her if I don't screw up the next few weeks.

One of my plants is getting light green veins on the lower leaves. Is this magnesium deficiency? I can't water currently without risking overwatering, can I just foliar spray BioBizz cal mag to temporarily help recovery? Or is this something else entirely?

consuming and transfering energy more, nothing special i would say, that litle in most recent week, photo number 3 could be magnesium isuus, but why you only know . short option list in my mind : bad ph excess of nitrogen bad watering regime simple. Action by me : 2 plain water cycles, on second adding 0.25 ml/l of cal mag , if after two she is perky, return to that weeks by schedule nutrition program, just first feed do 50% weaker than recommended or you would normally give. Summary compared to 5 days ago : the one you worry, very nice, maybe a bit hungry, if ph is definitely good - no changes needed, all goes well. tall in the corner should have a bit bigger PK , than others, she is hungry on that part, but watch PH with her, she was worst, no i would say she is ok. other looks perky too, just sort that small one with possible magnesium issue and your grow is back to wonderful path ! Happy Growing !

Flushed the plant this week due to a possible nutrient excess (potassium maybe?). Will start giving BioBizz nutrients at 1/4th the strength next week to see how she reacts. Hopefully it'll get better.
