Day 23:
Topped them this week. Removed the first nodes and keeping 3 of them above, see picture Day 23 1/2.
The plan is to grow them like picture Day 23 2/2.
I did wish that the leafs would have been more greener by now. Yet I rather underfeed than overfeed younglings.
Since they are something between photoperiod and autoflower genetics, I have to find the right amount of nutrients, since autoflowers like less and photperiod alot.
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks for telling, I adjusted it.
It was Vita Start indeed. Somehow I clicked on the other one.
This is just another try for me. The Geotexile pots with plagron nutrients.
I often like to do this at small so if I like the new nutrient, seeds or method of growing, I apply it to my bigger ones.
Its a mistake to top this plants, they won t recover in time and will most definetly give you shit yield. Their life cycle is just to short trust me I know. Good luck though, honestly hope I m wrong I just usually ain t.
@Gajba333,Hi sorry for interfering but i think you are wrong with not training Auto flowering plants. They can take it, it's just a matter of timing and a little bit of luck ππ€. You can check my πππ diary as a reference i used all HST methods minus a full manifold and they responded better than some photoperiod plants i had. I'll be checking your grows as well , take care.
@Gajba333, Seems that there are two kinds of F1's. The Photoperiod and Autoflower kind.
I was hoping to get the Photoperiod, thats why I did all that work on them.
Instead I got the autoflower kind.
@Gajba333, 70 days from seed to harvest doesn't work for outside grows, might inside but outside it always takes longer. In a few days they are 4 weeks old, they are not even mature yet.
I gues they will grow for another 2 weeks at least before going into pre-flowering. After that there are just 2-3 weeks left for flowering?
My bet is that they will take at least 8 to 9 weeks af this point.
Again if I did read it right, these are not autoflowers. Just a genetic that have a shorter flowering time, with that information I did top them.
About the yield, well I don't care much about it. My outside grows are always for fun and experiments. I rather have them short and bushy. Thats why I like to top them so
the energy goes to the branches instead of the main brance/cola.
