I read a comment on Reddit that recommended watering from the outside in for smaller plants even because the roots will go where the soil is wet. And because I am highly impressionable, I've started watering these like little cannabis pour overs from the edge of the pots. They seem into it!
I'm probably going to start training them next week. Still not sure which I'll top yet because they seem to be growing pretty evenly.
I added two BAC biotabs each (https://www.dutch-headshop.eu/bio-tablets-soil-improver-bac-12-pieces) to the 3gal pots once they both had fourth nodes 16 days from seed. These have been really good so far for all the plants I've grown, starting them in Biobizz Lightmix and then just the tablets. Plus liquid nutes intimidate me still.
Trust the process. Lst works .be Patient. I start at week 4-5 and the effect is stunning. Im week 7 now with Autos outdoor. Every Auto has 4-6 extra branches developed. 👌
