This week, the plant first showed female sex characteristics by developing its pistils. According to my current knowledge, this marks the beginning of the pre-flowering stage, followed by a stretch period where the plant requires more growth nutrients. The stretch started this week, as the plant grew from 13 to 30 cm. The lamp will remain at 80% power for now, as it provides an average PPFD value of 550.
In this grow, aside from using a SCROG net if needed during flowering, I will not apply any other training techniques, since this is my first grow and I do not want to unnecessarily harm the automatic plant.
