This is my first grow ever so I‘m a bit nervous but lets hope all will work out fine. Planted them into jiffys, the heads popped out after about 4 days.
After that I put them straight into their final pots. 🤞💚
Day #2 they‘re growing
Had some light problems so they grown out quite tall but I got it under controll and the stems are strong enough to hold the weight.
Also i added some mykorhizza on the side of the plants. Hope they will get their way to the roots.
Should I do LST when my horizontal space is limited? I have 3 Autos in a 60x60x180cm tent and I‘m a bit concerned that this will a bit too small if they grow out. So would LST contribute more to the horizontal space problem?
Absolutely. Especially if growing sativas or high stretching strains. Lst and even hst may be your only option. Other then topping or super croping. I'm scared to do that so I just use lst. Lst is your best option to not stunt growth. Although more measures may have to be taken if running out of room.
Just use green garden wire that has protective coating on it. Tie around the top stem below the top node. Allow room in the loop so the stem can grow amd thicken. Then gently bend over and tie it off. Each day you may need readjusted. Bit yeah if you have limited height lst would be your best bet.
Like I said it may get severe enough you will need to do HST. Just watch, and read up ok the strain your growing to see how high it normally grows and how much it stretches.
Good luck growmie
Please consider selecting me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate your support growmie 🙏 😃
Week #2 and they really took off.
I also started to feed them at the end of the week but I started with the quarter of the dose and everything seems fine. Maybe I will start with LST next week but I‘m concerned that the space is too tight.
Actually there is not much to say. They‘re growing at a healthy rate. I only needed to water them once this week and gave them a few nutrients. Also I sprayed the leaves once with Alga mic. Maybe I should defoliate a bit but let‘s see.
They all look healthy and I‘m looking forward to the flower stage.
Can I feed Bloom with nitrogen toxicity. So my plants have a nitrogen toxicity. I actually thought it’s hard to burn your plants with Bio nutes. I even gave them only half of the recommended dosage. I fucked um the ph once at 5.8. Can I give them Bloom bc they hit flower now.
Your ladies just hit flower, it's recommended to continue veg nutes for 1-2 weeks after first signs of flowering.. this will get the most of out the plant, although it will add on time to the grow.
I personally would do a water only at the correct PH and get them back happy.
Some people even do a flush between veg and bloom so this is a option if you don't wish to continue veg nutes as I recommended.
But personally.. i would do a water only, get them back happy and lower the ppms so no toxicity. Then continue veg at a slightly lower dose so they won't burn anymore. After a week or two when the vertical growth has totally stopped, then switch to bloom.
This method will get you the largest plants possible and the biggest yield.
If you have no more vertical room, and if your needing a harvest asap then my method wouldn't be ideal. Switching to bloom would be your best bet, this will keep the plant smaller and a faster harvest.
Goodluck growmie 🙏
This week I started with some defoliation and giving them some nutriens. They recovered super fast from the defoliation. But I run into some problems. I fucked up the ph and gave them water with 5.8. I also spotted some nitrogen toxicity which actually really suprised me, because I only gave them half the recommended dosage.
Anyway it’s bad timing, because they start to flower now. So the next two times it’s only water with 6.5 ph and no feeding and hopefully I can give them some flower nutes then.
💚
They‘re flowering now. I only fed them once and the nitrogen toxicity seems to be gone. But one plant got some problems. I will try to water her less now and see if it will get better. Also the plant which was the weekest at the beginning is now 15cm taller and also further in flower.
The other two are now at around 50cm.
Hope I will get all of them through. 💚
They streched quite a lot this week. Now it’s pretty crowded in the tent. Also I run into more leave problems. On one of the plants it got worse but now it seems to be stuck after I let the soil dry out.
On the other it seems it got some calcium defficency. I spotted it on one leave and two days later it’s pretty much all over the top.
Let‘s see if I can fix them. 🙏💚
I handled the calmag defficency. But I think my plants need a few more nutriens.
So I will higher the nutrition rate next week slightly.
Also I defoliated this week and cut off the small buds on the lower end of the plant. Hopefully they will recover because I don‘t know if this was too late in the flowerstage.
Nothing much happened this week. Cut off some leaves that prevented the light from reaching the power buds.
Also I‘m pretty sure one has different parents. Shes been over a week ahead on time. Started with the stretch and you can tell it on the buds now.
Next week I will give them more nutes. One is losing all her leaves and I think its too early for that.
Oh and my light is now at 100% 🌞
They really start to smell now. 💚
All good. My ph device broke but I think it won‘t affect them much when I‘m growing with biobizz in soil.
Don‘t know if I slowed the bud grow with my last defoliation but we‘ll see at the end.
Hope the other two will also fatten up like my strongest did.
I think it’s two or three weeks from now till harvest. 💚
Will turn off the lights today and let them sit there for another 2-3 days. I‘m really excited how much it will be, but it was my first grow and autoflowers so we‘ll see. 💚
