+1 strain
looking so nice, about your LST question yes but I would recommend using another type of tying, other than spun rope, it is better to use the ones sold in garden stores, green and soft so as not to damage with chafing. ๐

Technique
1st try at LST I ripped a huge fan leaf off. 2nd try I think I got it right. Other than that I just check water levels, PPM and pH, then adjust as needed. These girls are a little short and bushy...pause....so I backed the light off a bit and noticed them climbing.
I also messed up and bought a wave maker to move water but didn't realize it'd rip my roots. This didn't matter because the roots 50x growth within a day or two.
During mid week 3 I upgraded the air pump and air stones after failing with the wave maker. I upgrade to a 2"x4" air stone and a nice 20w 475gph air pump. I believe this helped with growth tremendously because the girls are taking off ๐
Also, water change! With the water change I bumped the PPM up, plants haven't responded negatively but I think I will back it down to about 700-750 since they seem to be taking in more water (pH rising, PPM rising).

Am I doing LST correctly? I have the main stem bent down and believe there are new stems coming up.

Check the pics, is this a light or nutrient issue? The leaves were super bright yellow/green near the stems.

It's quite hard to tell with the pictures because grow lights tend to make the leaves look a little different then in reality. I'd say for an auto and in dwc you are probably at the top end of the Ec for your nutes. I'd be tempted to increase your ph to 6 from 5,8 incase any nutes are being locked out.
highdro_wfhstarted grow question a year ago
When my autoflowers head into flowering, do I or can I add any additional additives or nutrients to it? I've heard of people running Jack's 321 all the way through. Currently my PPM is around 800.
This question might be suited for people that use Jacks 321 exclusively.

You can but it's not necessary. If you decide to, the amounts would be different for autoflower and photoperiod.

I had an extra light sitting around from another kit, a Mars Hydro TS600. I went ahead and set it up in my tent, are there any negatives to more lights?I now have a 4x4 with Mars Hydro TSW2000 and TS600.

As long as your LUX and temps remain in check you can add as many lights as you like. :)
Get a cheap Amazon LUX meter if you don't have one.
Seedling - 10-15k LUX
Veg - 15-30k LUX
Flower 30-45k LUX
Do NOT go over 50k LUX it can start bleaching the buds.
For temp's make sure the canopy of your plants do NOT go over 84F

@Seedsman,
Thank you for the feedback! I'll grab some of those from my local hydro store.
I actually have my eyes on the next grow and was looking into your BOGOF deals, I just purchased an AirCube system so I'm excited for that next grow (and 2nd grow) already!
