Week #3-Apr 8 to Apr 14
4/8-increased nute load a bit as she is looking very healthy. Watered to runoff. I've got 4 nodes showing now with 5th starting to emerge. I will top her in the next day or two between the 4th and 5th nodes.
4/9-Plant continues to grow fast and healthy so today I FIMMed between 4 & 5 node. Will monitor for adverse effects.
4/10-No adverse effects from FIM so far. She seems to be taking it in stride. Starting some gentle LST to get light under top leaves. Watered to runoff.
4/12-No adverse effects from FIM. More LST with leaf tucking. She's up to 4 inches now and trying to get bushy. Watered to runoff with just Ph balanced RO water.
4/14-First 3 weeks have gone very well. Early LST is working to get a nice even canopy going. FIM seemed to go without a hitch with no adverse effects. Trimmed off a couple of big fan leaves to expose new growth. Tieing the biggest new branches down to encourage lateral growth. I think she is setting up nicely as we move towards preflower.
Why did you switch to flower so soon? I don't think you gave time for your girls to recover from pruning/training before switching to flower. I think this caused the low yields
@IvyGrows, This one is an autoflower so I think it decides when to switch to flower on its own. That's been my experience over 20-25 autoflower grows. In most cases that happens 4-5 weeks into the grow but its not something I've been able to influence. I'm interested to hear how you do that.
