Made it to the start of week 5. Didn't think I would get this far! Such a great hobby it's unreal. Really helping with problems I'm going through at the min. The plant is doing great I think but today I did see a couple of issues. Let me.know what you think people I would love to hear feedback and advice. Also how would you expect this lil one to grow from now? I have done a lot of lst but I'm thinking of.letting her grow upwards now? Thanks ppl
Hello growers. I have a couple of things -
1. how will this grow from now?
2.should I let her start to.grow upwards?
3. In a couple of leaves there are see through holes? See pic
If anyone can help please
Thanks
I would let all the beaches grow up top them all wait a week or two send them into flower and keep training to keep even canopy till the stretch is done. Also be careful when watering not to get any water on leaves. Cuz it's a magnifier with the grow light and will burn a hole through. If u ruled out pests. Good luck and keep growing
3) Your leaves have been eaten by an insect ( last pics ) so grab your neon oil and spray it under your leaves ( 9 part water for 1 of neem oil ). 2) She will grow upwards by herself during the 2 first weeks of stretch/pre flowering so you can put your efforts into the shape and the horizontal grow. 1) Hard to say but I can tell you for sure that she'll multiplying her height by ร1.5 to x3 during the stretch and she is also growing significantly before the stretch.
I would let her grow out to the size of the diameter of your pot then flip her. The damage on the leaf seems minor it will be remove in the future anyways it could be from handling her it's not insect damage. You should start adding some cal/mag to prepare her for bloom. You can also try to add some supplemental silica into your nutrient regime to toughen up those leaves and stem cell walls. Hope this helps your grow ๐ https://generalhydroponics.com/armor-si
@@Buddeegrowers,hay man thanks this my 1st grow and loving every min. Tucking the leaves to expose the new growth sites is great and in the last week she is really starting to grow. Happy growing and thanks
Hi @1sttrymk! She will grow upward as soon as you will trigger the flowering stage, by switching light schedule to 12/12. You can keep her flat as long as she's in the vegetative stage and try to multiply nodes, by topping its summits or by bending her continuously. Now about the holes, they come from pest/insects, probably some kind of thrips. You need to react quickly to get rid of these before entering in the flowering stage, or they will disturb your plant's photosynthesis process and impact your yield negatively. Plus, I guess you don't want to smoke insects ๐ Pest prevention is an essential topic, you need a pest-prevention-strategy as soon as you plant your seedlings, during the first days. My strategy is pretty simple and consists in 3 methods: 1) I have an electric atomizer working 10min every hour to diffuse essential oils mixed with fresh water (a few drops of lemongrass, lavender, peppermint...you can find those oils in nature-stores or online). Those oils are repelling insects/pests, they don't like the smell of my room. 2) I spray neem-oil everyday when the light turns off, 10-12 drops of pure neem-oil mixed in a liter of temperated water, this oil is really efficient to kill/disturb/sterilize the invaders. 3) I use a dedicated foliar spray (BioBizz LeafCoat) once every 2 weeks to create a 'transparent layer' onto the leaves and to protect them from spiders/thrips/moths/miners... Since I've applied this approach, I've seen ZERO invader in my room, and believe my it was a big problem in the past. Let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! ๐
@Stick,hay man thanks for the reply. I will take on board everything you have said and I will look into getting something ordered tonight. My plant is an auto so should be doing her thing real soon. Just going to have a look at your grows. Good luck and thanksks again for advice

Only advise I can give is make sure you use a surgeons scalpel or similar and ensure its clean. Use pharmaceutical alcohol.
hey there growmie, good luck on your first grow ! i dont want to jinx it but those are bite marks from bugs that are eating your plant, you definitely want to identify and remove the bugs and prevent and full blown infestation. Hope this helps ! rocket:
