Connic Hi, just a quick intro about me—this is my first grow and I've already had some difficulties, so I’d like to document it a bit.
I unintentionally started with 3 OG Kush Automatic, as my seed order still hasn't arrived due to the overload in Germany since legalization. (I got the seeds from a grow shop nearby.) I borrowed a tent and lamp from a friend who is now specializing in outdoor growing after legalization, but unfortunately, that's not possible for me due to my east-facing balcony.
For germination:
I placed the seeds between two damp paper towels and wrapped them in cling film. All three seeds had germinated after 3 days and were planted in the final pot.

Connic Since I didn't plan to document the grow at the beginning, I unfortunately don't have many pictures from the first 3 weeks or not of all the plants, I ask for your understanding.
(There's still some soil missing in the bottom of the pot; the Light Mixx from BioBizz wasn't available here either, and I had to wait, which wasn't too bad...)
Connic I started with LST here on all the plants. Later in the week, I also got the soil to raise the plant that didn't have enough soil.
Since these are my first LST attempts and I don't have a particularly green thumb, I started cautiously, but not for long...

Connic Beginning of week 4 and everything was good, the plants were developing beautifully and I continued to train them. Just a few fungus gnats moved into the tent, so I took countermeasures with yellow sticky traps.
Mid-week 4, you can see the first signs of flowering, everything is good, then in the morning after I had done LST the night before, I noticed that the main stem of one plant had broken :(. Since this happened during the night, the stem was beyond saving.
Here comes my idea for documenting the grow, as I couldn't find any experiences regarding the further development of the plant in my research.
Since it is an autoflower and it's already close to flowering, I think it will be interesting to see how this plant develops compared to the others.
The broken main stem was about 5cm long. I'm curious to see how the plant does in the coming days and will keep you updated here. As of now, updates are current as of 17.05.
(I also removed some large and covering leaves from the healthy plants.)

Connic At the beginning of flowering, the involuntarily topped plant is recovering, and the other two are also growing nicely. I had a little problem with my pH level, which is probably why the stem turned purple. The pH issue has been resolved, and the plants should look better soon. Although it's 3 times OG Kush, the one in the back left is noticeably darker than the other two, but that could also be due to the late repotting of this plant, or it might have handled the pH level better. Let's see how it develops. I'll keep you updated.
