Thinned all the ladies out in prep for flip next week. Think the Jacks nutes are easier on the pH and since I keep messing around, I e been using too much pH down. Changed to just a ml per gal. Should help with this last bit of nutes issues. We're flipping either way!
Apple Glitter's should stretch quite a bit and it's looking like the MAC1's are gonna be stout and bushy. Only did LST on the Apple Glitter in hopes their end hight with be a better match. Sure they won't but I tried.
LST training has always posed a problem for me especially growing autoflowers
For instance in the last grow the one I’m growing right now my plants were as robust as I’ve ever grown but in 14 days they had 5 sets of nodes but only about four inches tall and a stalk as stiff as a pencil. No way was she going to be bent over and tided down.
So this brings me to your pictures and in pictures the one close up showing clips used to LST. Very interesting are those clips where ever did you get them. They might be just the solution I’m looking for to LST autoflowers.
@sanibelisl, if you search LST clips online there should be a bunch of options to choose from. Mine came from Amazon.
I started growing Autoflowers this year and noticed their training needed adjusting often compared to photos - probably the accelerated growth, and are indeed stiffer much sooner. I reduced light intensity and they stretched a bit to give me more plant to work with and manipulate. It's been a lot easier to train them after that. These clips are great! No ties, and after a week you can take them off and move them further up the branch to continue spreading out the plant. Hope that helps!
