PotG Auto, 3rd attempt

Good Week. I'm very happy with the progress. These ladies have responded quite nicely to the training. Again, I am using LST because my last round of this strain responded very nicely to it. Last round I just used a simple tie down. One tie supports the main base and the other tie is just below the top developed leaves pulling the plant down and spreading out light to the lower branches. I did this in week 3 b/c the lateral branching has developed but the plants are still young and limber. I try to keep the main growth point below or level with the other growth points. I don't want to stress them out for too long, I want them to get growing again. I will try and finish my training today then leave them alone except for leaf tucking. I'm debating tomorrow before I water if I should remove the lower leaves in contact with the soil. I just don't want to stress em out too much. Not too much to report. I turned up my lights last week. they're at about 24" away from the plants at ~75% power. I have a cheap lux reader on my phone and it says I'm at ~ 30,000 lux. For me this is good about 750 micromoles if I did my math right. I can still turn my light up in flower and hopefully get some good results. I plan to start the nutrients tomorrow at the beginning of the 4th week. I am going to start with 1/4 strength to see the response of the plant and the runoff. I checked my runoff and pH is still happy and PPM's were still sitting at 1200-2200(beginning of the week) I had some fading spots showing up on the leaves of the right plants. It was my bad I was using the recommended dosage for seedlings not week 2 or 3. I adjusted accordingly and the spots seem to have stopped spreading and the plant is growing healthy again. Thanks for visiting and stay tuned, I expect these ladies to take off in the next couple of weeks.
