First grow

Hi there, the plant looks like a bit genetic ill. The leaves have diferent paterns and shapes then the others right ? It can be disaster to flower, or it can be best you ever have :) It is always the lotery. These are preflowers, but it can continue to grow, dont worry.

Yeah I see the female stigmas up top definitely showing sex. It’s not optimal having leaves touch soil. Personally I’d just pull that bottom node off entirely. It won’t amount to much and it’s way to close to soil.

Growmie those few leaves you worried about at the bottom are eventually going to fall off as the plant gets bigger, and you don't have them listed as autoflowers so I don't think they are showing sex and you haven't flipped to 12/12 unless they are autoflower, then this is completely normal.

Ive been watching Bill Ward channel on youtube, learned a lot from his training techniques altho Im not topping like he does yet as i dont want to delay any thing with my 1st photos. Check him out channel is Bill Ward #55408

Hey! Bending the main stem is a classic move. It depends on your training goals. If you're aiming for a more even canopy, you might want to bend down the other branches as they grow. LST (Low-Stress Training) is like yoga for plants, promoting even light distribution and more bud sites. But if you're going for a simpler approach, one good bend might be enough. See how your plant responds, and go with the flow (literally and metaphorically). Happy growing, and have an awesome week too!

Looks great!! Just continue with branches once they grow out to try and achieve an even canopy. When I used plastic pots, I drilled holes all along the top brim for easy tying. Good luck 🍀

Nah bro it's not clawing. Clawing is when the end of the leaf tip curls down and almost touches itself. Yours is slightly droopy. Could be little to much water could be to much N as others said. Lastly it could be the VPD. Make sure your temp and humidity is in check for this stage of life. It honestly looks pretty healthy if VPD is in check I would just continue doing what your doing just allow for dry back between watering or feeds. This will promote roots to push to find water and fill the container with roots. Goodluck growmie

Not seeing the clawing in the photo, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening, we've talked about this plant before and it still looks like it has too much nitrogen, Nitrogen toxicity in plants results in clawed, shiny, and abnormally dark green leaves, slow growth and weak stems. Your going to have to back off the nitrogen and you might want to consider a flush to get rid of unwanted salts that are being built up in the soil this will help also.

There is too much nitrogen in the feed or you are not getting enough run off to wash out old feeding. Basically you are on a salt build up starting.

It sounds like you're practicing low-stress training (LST) or similar techniques to manipulate the growth of your cannabis plants. If you've already bent the main branch and are wondering about the next steps, here's some guidance: Main Branch Training: If you've bent the main branch (topped or bent it over), the initial goal is often to encourage lateral growth and create a more even canopy. Once you've performed this training, you can let the lateral branches develop. Lateral Branch Development: Allow the lateral branches to grow and develop. As they extend, they'll naturally fill out the space and contribute to a bushier and more even canopy. Spacing and Canopy Management: If you notice that some branches are growing too close together or that the canopy is becoming too dense, you can continue to gently guide the branches away from each other. The idea is to maintain good spacing to ensure adequate light penetration and airflow. LST Techniques: You can continue to use LST techniques as needed. This might involve tying down branches to encourage a more horizontal growth pattern and prevent vertical dominance. Timing of Training: Keep in mind that training is often most effective during the early vegetative stage when the plants are still flexible. As plants transition into the flowering stage, they become less flexible, and major manipulations can stress them. Patience: Be patient and observe how the plant responds to your training. Cannabis is a resilient plant, and with proper care, it can recover and adapt to the training methods. Adapt to the Plant's Growth: Each cannabis plant is unique, so be prepared to adapt your training methods based on how your specific plant responds. Some plants may require more training, while others may naturally grow into the desired shape. Remember, the goal of training is to maximize light exposure to as many bud sites as possible, leading to a more even and higher yield. Always be gentle with your plants to avoid causing stress that could impact their overall health and development. If you have specific concerns or questions about the training process, feel free to provide more details, and I can offer more tailored advice.

I wouldn't have done it how you have. Myself, i would have topped that at the 4th or 5th node to create 2 tops. Then i would train them in opposite directions.

Whatever is closest to the Light grows the fastest. (Unless its to close yknow...) If you want your branches to keep up tuck the main stem on a hight lower than the branches if thats possible. Or keep it on a level so the others catch up. If you leave it it will harden and stay that way wich makes further LST harder or impossible in some cases.

You don't necessarily want to have the ac blowing on your cannabis. The trick to drying and curing is to get a even, slow dry. 60/60 is ideal. 60F and 60% humidity.

Hello my friend, I see in your diary that your humidity is 55% and you really do not want to make it less humid inside the dry room! The ideal temperature for drying cannabis should be between 60 and 70°F, with a relative humidity for drying cannabis should sit between 45% and 55%. If the temperature is too high during the drying process, it can cause the buds to dry too quickly, leading to a harsh smoke and undesirable taste. Enjoy the harvest buddy! 💚

I have not used a portable AC unit to dry my weed before. I just toss it in my tent hanging upside down and its temps are normally 18-21c works fine for me. If your set on using a portable AC, I'd recommend using it in a room the tent is in, then pull the air into the tent on low with the extractor fan. or hang all the plants in that room and make it pitch black, this is how a youtube grower I know does his weed with an ac unit. Good Luck!
