y11dos End of week 1, 2 out of 3 pots are goin well so far i think, one of them just didnt want to pop out so i have one pot which is a 4 days behind the others because i had to plant a new one

y11dos Day 10 So i did transplant, so i would have 3 plants one in each pot due to a suggestion i got from a kind user here on the site. For my beginner eyes the plants look kinda healthy so far, what do u think? i try to keep temperature at around 25 degrees and humidity on 60%, the water is between 6.0-6.5ph. Would u guys recommend to do topping on autoflowers? or is it more like the plants cant really recover in their short life span and will end up with less yield? i've heard like some people do say yes some say no And low stress training, at week 3 upwards and removing lower budsights at the end of vegetative phase beginning of flowering is a good thing to do aswell isnt it? I really want this to become 😍😍flower, happy for any suggestions u can give me

y11dos Hi so the plants expanded rly rapidly after the beginning of week 3 and i started to tie the strong bottom branches fown so they wouldnt block any new nodes from light. I also continue to gently leaves that would block the new nodes from light. I also got additional ventilaton, in addition to the air intake. Actually i had a small accident where im sure i heard a branch snap like rly loud, for one moment i thought i killed it😰😨but there was no visual damage even after 5 days, i cant see that it would die off or feel lose, like it almost feels like its didnt mind too much about it. Like it was so loud i thought it was the main stamp for a sec, im really happy nothing too bad happened due that incident 😀 Video is from mid week 4

y11dos So at the end of week 4 i decided to trim out the lower branches. Im starting to see the rewards of Lst, since there are multiple strong collars building I think so far its going pretty well for the first attempt I did decide to do topping on them since i felt like the main branch was getting to tall and kinda outrunning the lower branches. By the end of week 4 i think this was a good decision due to the limited height of max 1.10m if i wanna keep enough distance from the light and keep air intake and ventilation where it is now

y11dos So far i feel quite confident to get good results, just one of the 3 plants is getting yellow tips at new emerging leaves. Since i checked ph all the time, im thinking its wether the light to close or a nutrient burn. I gave the plant just ph neutral water with a bit of alg a mic and cal mag to get it back in shape and i did hang the led a 7-10 cm higher and lowered the intensity from 75% to 65%. Just hoping this will fix the issue, the other 2 are doin pretty good so far. I definetly see the problem with multiple strains now, i did manage to get mostly a even height of the main collars, also the height of the plants compared to eachother is almost the same. But the treatment each different strain needs in for e.g. not going into flower at the same time, reaction to topping, need of nutrients is more likely the challenge to master for me. Im not fully sure but for me it looks like flowering is about to start :p

y11dos So i have finished LST by end of week 4 and did start with removing low budsights and branches below the cannopy so that i would get more likely big equal compact buds instead of the fluffy not so yum buds. I plan to not defoliate any more than i have right now, unless there's a leave throwing shade onto a potential big budsights i might remove the leave in order to get that budsight maximum light it could have. Growing really is a big learning curve, like by now i have learned so much about to tell signs of the health state of a plant. Like one plant got slightly yellow leave tips, because it got nutrient burnt probably. Like when i noticed the tips i kind of digged into plant health and telling health state by colour, appearance of the leave. Really starting to enjoy the process of growing, like adjusting LST bit by bit, starting to see rewards of it more and more. Also actuelly noticing things that werent the best decision which i can definetly improve on by the next grow. Cant wait to see the end results, i really hope i get terpenes on a decent level. Since for me it became such a enjoyable thing to just smoke weed that actually is tasting lovely

y11dos So far i feel like the plants have all decent health, for one of them i build a little think to stand on because its 10-15 cm smaller in height so that it would have the same height than the others and gets enough light for sure. I defoliatet completly i think by now, and i will just let buds develop from now Im so curious how it evolves during the next few weeks

y11dos Plants started to show signs of overfeeding, so i decided to flush with ph neutral water with only alg-a-mic and a bit of calmag. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the plant to bounce back and recover from overfeeding?

y11dos Buds really fatten up, im curious how big they'll get. The smell is lovely especially from the Banana Purple punch, i cant wait to smoke from it for the first time

y11dos 2 out of 3 plants go really well i think, also the one having issues is getting there i think. Im guessing i might be ready to harvest within the next 14 days, the hairs on the buds are like 30-40 % brownish the rest is still white, the trichomes are mostly glassy a few milky once are there aswell
