Week 4
All looking good no problems. Both ladies seem to be growing at the same rate.
30th May upped my feed schedule slightly by adding buddy and Canna A and B at 1% might need advice as when to start my LST training.
1st June Lady 1 in the tent really growing and at 6.5 inches Lady 2 the outdoor/conservatory grow only 5.5 inches seems the LED lights do make a considerable difference.
2nd June Lady 1 has begun LST whilst I think Lady 2 will be just grown naturally even though she's 6 inches today. She is not a thick as Lady 1 healthy and growing but already I believe the extra concentration of light and 12hrs complete darkness does reward you in growth. I have to say thank you to Planttracker for his/her advice on starting LST.
3rd June End of the 4th week considerable difference in growth between the two ladies even if Lady 2 is now 7 inches tall. Lady 1 looks good to me now I've started LST will slightly increase nutrients to 1.5 % for the Canna A and B for Lady 1 as I think she will hit pre flower then.👍
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👍
