Just an introduction.
I started a diary Critical that is here only to find the lady was not a lady........shock horror!
Not to be put off Im back on it with my second attempt at a diary. This is a Sugar Mama that is an auto flower that I grew before naturally so the only difference will be Im having a go at LST this time to see if the yield is significantly higher.
If you have had a glance at my previous critical diary you will see I am a novice so any help is appreciated and any glaring mistakes please feel free to say.
At 21.00hrs 8th May noticed tap root is out I will leave this in damp paper for another 12 hrs then pot up in a small plastic cup till the seed establishes itself. Im using Canna Terra as my medium.
Week 1
Wednesday 8th May 2019 Tap root appears
Friday 10th May Lady 2 made an appearance
Just water for the first week. Next week will add 1% Cal Mag.
Will be growing one lady in my tent and the other in my conservatory just to see what difference the LED light makes to yield as Im liking the idea of experimenting after seeing other diaries.
I would say you could start LST, easiest to bend from plant over from the top where the stem is most flexible using plant twist tie. As long as you're not super aggressive with the bend you should be fine. Good luck!
@planttracker,
Took your advice and posted a photo of Lady 1 on June 2nd when photo taken it was about 14 hrs after I had tied her up😂 lights just about to come on for 12 hrs👍
@kitkat332986, I mean with autos you have to be a little careful just because of their inability to recover like photos, anyways 90 degree should be fine for most plants as long as it doesn't snap a stem.
you need to flush buddy u end up with headaches as well but good job looks nice, my friend is growing sugar mamma his is about 1 meter tall check his diary out BloominatiBigBud 👍
@planttracker,have to say it was you who gave me the advice when to LST her and she has responded well. I feel more confident in doing this again with auto-flowers thanks to you and looking at your photos. If all goes well I hope to get something near 2 Aussies off her to report on in about a months time👍
