Had a lot of problems during veg but after that, it went pretty smoothly. For its size, I'm very happy with the end results. Nice smell and dense buds, though not as many trichomes as Strawberry Pie Auto.

I added way too much which resulted in a lot of problems during the last few weeks, which is my problem though. Still great results though.
Can't tell much because I rarely used it. Monster Bud Mix had enough flower nutrients.

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.

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.

Is a nitrogen toxicity developing? What can I do to prevent it?

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!

New leaves on my plant are coming out with the tips twisted. Is that anything I have to worry about? I thought it might be wind stress so I moved the fan further away, but it's still happening. Only seems to be happening with new leaves.

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! Poi vedi le nuove foglie e vedi come va

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.

Hi Most probably then 1L ever 2 days doesn't seem alot, I water mine daily in flower they should be drying out more rapid, Try not to let it completely dry out you want the soil moist not completely dry, Best of luck 🌱

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!

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 !

Good ph and light calmag feed like 0.5 ml/l , no other feed. Algamic is good in your case now, but its for soiless, so money for nothing. You can add up to 4ml/l bio heaven too, works very well, just pricey.
