Week 8 has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Space became tight in my little 2x2 tent, so I decided to take a chance and move my smallest, the Super Strawberry Skittlez, outdoors. While there hasn't been explosive growth outside yet, she seems to be handling the transition okay – no signs of stress so far.
The extra space in the tent seems to be a blessing for the Gelato. She's loving the room to stretch and her buds are developing nicely. The undisputed champion, Gorilla Cookies, has really ramped up trichome production, but unfortunately, she's also hit a snag. Her leaves are yellowing and showing some brown spots, which definitely isn't ideal.
Being a first-time indoor grower using nutes, I'm suspecting she might have gotten locked out due to nutrient build-up. To address this, I flushed her medium to clear out any excess salts. Then, 24 hours later, I gave her a very light feeding with nutes. Now, it's a waiting game – hoping she will recover 🙏
Snapped 2 branches while trying LST for the first time. Any idea how bad this is for my plant? Should I stop training to avoid more stress since I already topped her this week, or any other advice on how to redeem this mistake? 😩
It happens, you're fine. Honestly I remove those first node branches(sometimes the 2nd too)anyway as they tend to grow stretchy with large gaps between nodes. When using LST, take baby steps when working with stems that are starting to stiffen up.
You'll be fine with the lack of air movement at this stage of your grow, shouldn't cause you any issues! As long as you got a replacement fan coming at some point within too long, I would not worry😇
Congrats on your first harvest, looks like the grow went well. I have a 2x2 also, and have found that one healthy plant usually fills the space. Good move on the outdoor plant.
