piggysperpetualGrow Had a long tail since it sat in germination for multiple days. I have tried to grow this before when I took a break but it turned out to be hermaphroditical and I had to cut it down.
piggysperpetualGrow Everything is getting double nutrients. I do this when the plant starts to break through themselves and the branches start to see light. Do you have to give double nutrients? No. You don't need any nutrients. The average weight I got from autoflowers no nutrients was around 90g. Why do I? I feel that with autoflowers the amount of stretch that some have they really do benefit from it, with others, sometimes not so much and can lead to very large main trunks but smaller branches. These tend to have very large compact flowers which look good, but can be very difficult to process. If the plant doesn't want it and leaves it in the soil, trust me, it will eat it later during the flush phase. An added benefit I've found is that it can poison pests like thrips. One major problem is that it can lead to excessive mold on bags even with a box fan blowing straight on them on high. Won't all the nutrients ruin my ph? If you're using fox farms like I do your soil ph is between 6.2 and 6.5. If you add it at neutral ph (7.0) you honestly won't change it. (You test soil ph by adding neutral water to it, look it up). Me personally I like trying to raise the levels of the soil ph to around 6.7 for the last month of flower.
piggysperpetualGrow Maybe will get around 8 more inches, doubt it. This will stop stretching in acouple of days, only will probably get acouple inches out of that. Going to switch to bloom nute then. Probably get 3-5 inches during flower. Thinking the lower end of that scale.

piggysperpetualGrow I ended up going through everything and cleaned out the lower canopy leaves that were dead and a little more. Not quite a lolipop but some cleaning. On this plant in particular, since it's so dense and there's no light getting through, unlike the others, I went ahead and cut off all the branches that were snaking through and getting nowhere. Everything that was bright neon green trapped inside just got cut out. Mostly the bottom most ones coming off the bottom branches. missed acouple waterings this week.
