Banana Purple Punch Auto. Using Canna Terra Pro as soil , soaked it with 6.5 ph water. Added 2ml/10ltr Bio Nova X-Cell. Planted directly into the soil and covered with humidity dome ( the cheap kind lol ) It took 72h to sprout , kept it under the dome for an extra 24h before removing it.

Start of the growth Since i soaked the soil i'm just gonna let her do her thing for the first 7-10 days. If i water it will be plain 6.5 ph'd. I won't be adding any extra nutrients until she starts flowering after which i will switch to a feed water feed plan. Adding no more then 33% of the recommended dose. Had a little algae problem , probably because i soaked the soil. I used a toothpick to gently scratch the surface to break the top layer of soil , it helps with drying out the algae.

The soil is still nice an wet after the first week, i'll probably have to water for the first time around day 12. The algae problem is as good as gone after gently raking the top of the soil.

She's a little on the small side but she's healthy ... only watered her with 6.5 ph'd water no nutrients. Took two big fan leaves off and topped her on day 16... seems to be doing good although a little vertically challenged. Because she is staying so small i decided to take of the big fan leaves and use pins to LST the branches.... first time growing a mini

Since she is refusing to grow vertically, i am trying to use LST to make sure she get a big enough canopy. Start noticing early signs of flower around day 26 so I went ahead and added some bio nova pk 13 14 to the water. From this point on I'll be going with a feed water feed schedule

Just started flowering so I gave her the first feed... from here on in I'll be using a feed water feed schedule. She is still pretty small but I'm seeing nice bud sites development 👍 👌

She's been doing really well.... now that she's flowering I'll be switching to a feed water feed schedule. She just had her 2de feed ... not going to push it but I will be gradually increasing it in the next few

She is started to get some color in de bud sites and she is starting to smell delicious 😋. Sticking to the feed water feed schedule for atleast another 10 days or so. Have noticed some discoloration in top leaves not sure what the issue is there

so i have a question ? do you always LST every plant. and if so, why ? space, some what understandable . potential yield, perhaps . but if you think preforming surgery on every plant is somehow going to be beneficial i believe you are misguided . can LST and other ways to manipulate how a plant grows be beneficial, sure it can be but if not done properly it can have the opposite effect and have a negative effect in the form of stunted growth and smaller yields . it is of course entirely up to the grower if their effort and time for 2 to 3 months is worth less than .75 of an ounce . let a couple grow naturally with tucking and some defoliation (especially when it comes to autoflowers) and see if you don't enjoy a more bountiful harvest . so are autoflowers easier to grow ? yes and no . on one hand light almost becomes a none issue as they don't need to mimic 12/12 to flower and are not effected (as much) as photoperiods to light leakages and interuptions . on the other hand if training is the method of choice it must be done with correct timing and care as not to stress her at the wrong time because it WILL have an effect and usually not positive . if you don't believe this look up on the internet, i think he is on ,x, instagram, reddit and such... he goes by the name of "Autopotomus" and when you see his plants you will understand why . one pound plus autoflowers F'N huge!!! anyway your gardens are pretty just thought there is room for way more potential

Well that's a very good question.... First off I am still very much a noob at this. I just started growing a little over 2 years ago and because of the living situation i was in i really didn't have much room to work with and i was kinda forced to run my first indoor grow in a 2x2x4.5 , which is really small...... After a run in that setup and and noticing first hand the limitations I decided to go with an 2x4x6 just for a little extra grow space. My first run it that set up where i didn't do any training or defoliation turn out to be a big disappointment. Since i have moved house and am in a better position now I have a little room to experiment with my grows to see where i can improve my yields and potency. I tend to favor topping plants around the 3de or 4th node to try and keep the canopy even with other strains i might be running. Depending on plant structure I will use a little LST around Day 25 just to get a nice and open canopy. Im only running 3 plants so they have the room to widen out a little.... when it comes to defoliating i tend to only do it when it comes to outside leaves that might hang over the plant next to it or if it's damaged. The Runtz i'm growing a went a little harder on then usual but for the most part i try not to take more then 4/6 leaves off per week. So i hope that answered your question somewhat.... I know I still have a long way to go and constructive criticism is always welcome so feel very to point out any mistakes you think I am making and I will take it going into the next grow. I don't do socials so i can't check out " Autopotomus " but thx for the tip anyway.
