Week 5
June 5th Start of the week Lady showing signs of pre flower so she will now be added to the flowering week and as such she will be feed a slight increase of Cana A and B at 1.5%.
Lady 2 is growing nice and healthy but way behind in terms of bulk and development. I'm happy with this as it is a comparison grow of the effects of my LED lights and Mother Nature. Hopefully will also mean there is a difference in harvesting times so the tent lady will be dried first and placed into mason jars to cure as I harvest Lady 2. Thats the plan, but you never know fingers crossed that I will now complete a grow diary😋
7th June a bit more LST done to Lady 1. Lady 2 growing straight and tall now at 9 inches.
11th June last day of the week. Just finished my LST on Lady 1 have to say I'm happy with the way she has responded. No defoliation. just leaf tucking where possible as I like to keep them on for photosynthesis.
You can see a big difference between Lady 1 and 2 and that's due only to the LED lights. As an auto flower I expected her just to be a smaller version but definitely looks like a photo still in veg mode.
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👍
