Should I throw a net on her to limit her height or continue LST and leaf tucking? I’m siding with the latter but maybe it will help her in flowering as well if I spread her canopy under a net? Week 5 and showing pre flowering.
Hi @Dperez006! I would not add a net to this baby, this would make your life much harder. Remember that once it's in place, you won't be able to do anything, whereas a smart LST would allow you to adjust her shape continuously. If you're worried about heights issue, then try to bend the main stems at a 45° angle, and/or try to supercrop her. The net-technique could be great with regular (non-autos) strains, but autoflowers grow too fast and are too sensitive to really make the most of this technique. Hope this makes sense, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
Nutes were increased slightly. Leaf tips normal and upright. Watering and light feeding every other day until runoff appears. Trichomes are coming out well and may start bloom nutes. Added supplemental 660nm red light and she began to stretch more. Some hot days I shut off if I hit 85+degrees at exhaust fan intake even if the RH and vapor chart says I’m in the green.
She bounced back. No long term effects seen YET. Seems to be responding well to feeding. Although it appears she would be fine with just water. May try next plant with only water and 4-4-4 and stop at flowering. May need to research.
For my first grow, I’m happy. Aside from LST next time sooner and better, she handled my feeding OK. I think more often bloom nute feedings would’ve helped. Looks like I may have a Mg deficiency and afraid to feed this late into bloom. Harvest may be a week away at week 12. Opinion on taking the biggest colas first (4) and let the rest go another week? Suggestions? 😀
Flowering time was 8 weeks. We are at 11 weeks. Keep watering just water or let her go into dryer conditions before harvest? How much longer should I wait? I’ll snap a better pic but if anyone has any suggestions or opinions, please send em. 🙏
Hello Dperez006, It looks great but not ready yet.
The most trichomes look cloudy, but there are still a few that look clear to me.
That is only the outside we are looking at, theres also trichomes inside the bud and they defenitly need more riping up.
So my advice is add 1 or 2 more weeks and keep looking at the trichomes with your magnifier.
You can also open up a smaller bud and have a looksy.
Do NOT let your trichomes turn amber or brown, that means that the flavor and quality gets less and you get a nasty cough of the harsh taste.
Hope this was an helpfull answer, Keep on growing Dperez006. Peace 😎👍
